Chapter 550: So petty!
Luo Qinghan really loves and hates Xiao Xixi's mouth.
Sometimes she can be so sweet that people want to pounce on her and lick her hard.
Sometimes she could make people so angry that they wanted to sew her mouth shut.
Luo Qinghan couldn't bear it any longer, so he pulled her into his arms and bit her hard on the mouth.
Tsk, this mouth still tastes like grapes.
Luo Qinghan narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a dangerous tone.
"Who are you calling ugly? Say it again."
Eunuch Chang and Baoqin, who were waiting nearby, left quickly.
There were only two humans left in the yard: him and Xiao Xixi, as well as a pair of chickens, ducks, pigs and geese.
Xiao Xixi was held in the prince's arms and couldn't escape even if she wanted to.
There was still pain from the bite in my mouth.
Looking at the way he was acting, if she didn't give an explanation today, he would probably eat her alive.
She smiled flatteringly and said, "I just said it by mistake. I have absolutely no opinion on your appearance. You are definitely the best-looking man I have ever seen in my life, no doubt about it!"
Luo Qinghan is not so easy to fool.
He sneered and said, "Since you are so satisfied with my appearance, then use a poem to praise my appearance."
The poor student Xiao Xixi is very distressed. She has already graduated for many years, so why does she still have to be asked to recite ancient poems?
It took her a long time to come up with a line of poetry.
"No birds fly away from the thousands of mountains, and no traces of people are seen on the thousands of paths."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
There was a suffocating silence.
He said woodenly: "You are really a literary genius."
Xiao Xixi smiled awkwardly: "Thank you, thank you."
"I'm not praising you."
Xiao Xixi said shyly: "I'll just take it as you're praising me."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Luo Qinghan decided to end this heart-wrenching topic.
He wrapped his arms around her waist, not letting her leave, and rubbed his hands on her waist as he whispered.
"Your waist feels thinner than before, have you lost weight?"
Xiao Xixi sighed: "Maybe it's because I've been eating porridge and vegetarian dishes every day recently."
Whenever she was sick or injured, she had to abstain from food for a period of time. All her meals were light, and she ate so much that her mouth was almost dry.
"Just bear with it. The doctor said you are recovering well and you will be fully recovered in a few days."
Luo Qinghan paused here and added another sentence.
"I still prefer you when you're fatter."
Xiao Xixi pouted: "The reason why you think fat people are cuter is because you don't have any fat on your body."
Luo Qinghan smiled softly: "The Ministry of Industry is short of craftsmen recently. Since you are so good at arguing, why don't you become a bricklayer?"
Xiao Xixi quickly refused: "Forget it, the Ministry of Industry has so many things to do every day, they are already very tired, don't let me make things more troublesome for them."
Luo Qinghan sighed: "So you also know that you are best at making things difficult for others."
Xiao Xixi: "Not really, I can also tell people stories, do you want to listen?"
Luo Qinghan remembered the jokes she had told before and quickly refused.
"No, I don't want to hear it."
This woman's ability to tell jokes and sing is so amazing that it's simply terrifying.
Xiao Xixi: "Don't be so quick to refuse. I won't tell you a joke this time. I'll tell you a fairy tale. Once upon a time there was a Snow White. She was extremely beautiful, but unfortunately she had a bad fate. She lost her mother when she was young. Later, her father married a new queen. The queen was vicious and she was deeply jealous of Snow White's beauty..."
Luo Qinghan initially refused, but as he listened, he became fascinated.
He had never heard such a story and found it very novel.
When Xiao Xixi mentioned that Snow White was almost killed by the Queen, Luo Qinghan couldn't help but frown.
"This princess grew up in the palace after all. How come she doesn't have any sense of defense? She is so stupid!"
Xiao Xixi: "That's called being innocent and kind."
Luo Qinghan had a cold and ruthless expression on his face: "Innocent and kind people simply cannot survive in the palace."
Xiao Xixi: "Do you still want to hear the story?"
Luo Qinghan closed his mouth and continued to listen to her story.
"…Finally, the prince kissed the princess awake, and the two went home to marry and lived happily ever after."
Luo Qinghan frowned again: "What about that vicious queen? What happened to her in the end?"
Xiao Xixi: "Her true identity was revealed, and as punishment for trying to kill Snow White, she was forced to wear red-hot iron shoes and dance on fire until she died."
Luo Qinghan was satisfied with this outcome.
As the night deepened, the two went back to their room to sleep.
The next day, the prince got up before dawn as usual.
He was standing in the room, being helped to change his clothes by the palace maids.
Xiao Xixi suddenly woke up.
She jumped out of bed.
Seeing this, Luo Qinghan was very surprised: "Aren't you going to sleep?"
Normally she wouldn't get up until the sun was high in the sky, but today she got up so early, which is really rare!
Xiao Xixi jumped off the bed: "I want to go to the toilet."
She ate a lot of fruit last night and drank a bowl of medicine, so her stomach is now full of water.
She ran out in a hurry.
She came back a moment later, looking much more relaxed than when she left.
Luo Qinghan was already dressed neatly at this time, looking handsome and elegant, with the aura of a prince.
Seeing Xiao Xixi about to crawl back into bed to continue sleeping, he said lightly.
"In the story, the princess was woken up by the prince's kiss, but you were either woken up by hunger or by the urge to pee."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She looked at the prince with resentment.
Didn’t she just say he was ugly last night?
Is he still holding a grudge?!
What a petty person!
The petty-minded prince left Qingge Palace refreshed and took a carriage to the council hall.
Today is the first day of the new year, and a grand court meeting must be held. All civil and military officials above the fourth rank in the capital must attend.
Quite a few people had already arrived in the meeting hall, and they were gathered in groups of three or four to chat.
King Luo Yechen of England did not look very well today, with two huge dark circles under his eyes.
Luo Qinghan looked him up and down: "Did you steal last night?"
Luo Yechen said listlessly: "I didn't sleep all night last night, thinking about my marriage with Bu Shengyan."
Luo Qinghan: "What is the result of your thinking?"
Luo Yechen: "I just can't come up with a conclusion, which makes me even more unable to sleep."
Luo Qinghan: "Do you need me to give you some advice?"
Hope appeared in Luo Yechen's eyes: "Do you have any good ideas?"
Luo Qinghan: "Go find the imperial physician and get a prescription for a calming and sleep-inducing medicine. You should be able to fall asleep after taking it."
Luo Yechen: “…”
He said speechlessly: "I thought you were going to help me find a way to resolve the marriage between Bu Shengyan and me."
Luo Qinghan said calmly: "That is a private matter between you two. As an outsider, I am not in a position to interfere."
Luo Yechen was very disappointed.
Luo Qinghan: "You should go to the imperial physician to get some sleeping pills. Staying up late all the time will make you bald. Think about Mei Fuyin, he is a lesson for you."
Mei Guangtao, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, walked in and happened to hear the prince's words. He felt like he was shot in the chest.
It hurts!
