Chapter 76 Roast Duck
The prince got on the carriage with extremely complicated feelings.
Eunuch Chang looked at Xiao Liangdi with an indescribable look, waved his hand, and the carriage started, heading towards the council hall.
After they were far away, Baoqin broke down.
"My lord, my lord, how could you say that just now?!"
Xiao Xixi said innocently: "Didn't you ask me to say something nice?"
"But you can't be so blunt! You should be more subtle."
"for example?"
"For example, you could ask, Your Highness, what would you like for dinner today? How about roast duck?"
Xiao Xixi nodded frantically: "Okay, okay! Let's eat roast duck tonight!"
Baoqin was choked: "I am demonstrating to you, not asking you what you want to eat tonight. Can't you be serious? Did you know that Concubine Zhao almost seduced the Crown Prince away last night? Fortunately, the Crown Prince was determined enough and finally came to find you, otherwise you would have been alone in the empty room last night."
Xiao Xixi felt quite regretful: "What a pity, I almost got to sleep in a bed by myself last night."
Although it doesn't feel bad for two people to sleep in the same bed, she still prefers to sleep alone so that she can roll around in the bed without restraint.
Baoqin was going crazy: "Is this the point?!"
In order to prevent her maid from dying of anger on the spot, Xiao Xixi quickly comforted her: "I know, you are doing this for my own good. I will definitely change next time and will definitely not make the same mistake again."
"That's what you said. Don't let me down at the critical moment."
Xiao Xixi vowed: "As long as you let me eat roast duck tonight, I will do whatever you ask me to do!"
Baoqin sighed wearily.
In order to help her master make progress, she really worked hard.
Thinking of delicious food, Xiao Xixi didn't want to sleep anymore. She ran to the backyard, stood in front of the duck pen with her hands on her hips, and looked back and forth at the cute big white ducks.
The big white ducks were gathering around the feeding trough, eating with big mouthfuls.
They don't know that this meal may be their last breakfast in this life.
Baoqin came over and asked, "What are you looking at, young master?"
Xiao Xixi sighed: "These ducks seem to be in good spirits, none of them are lazy."
Baoqin thought of the hen that was stewed because it didn't like to move, and she couldn't help but fall silent.
Xiao Xixi finally made up her mind and pointed at a big white duck.
"This duck eats the most, so we'll eat it tonight!"
Baoqin opened the duck pen, walked over, and picked up the big white duck that was still concentrating on eating.
The poor big white duck still had unfinished breakfast hanging from its mouth.
It stretched its neck and made a heart-wrenching rattling sound.
Xiao Xixi said with satisfaction: "Such a fat duck must be especially delicious when roasted."
Baoqin walked into the small kitchen carrying the big white duck that was sentenced to death for eating too much.
After choosing the duck to eat in the evening, Xiao Xixi completed her task. She returned to the house contentedly, crawled into bed and continued to sleep.
Luo Qinghan asked the Prince's Junior Tutor to go to the south on his behalf to be responsible for the task of digging a tributary of the Yi River.
Then he made another announcement that caught everyone off guard.
"Once the tributary of the Yi River is dug, I will hold a rain-making ceremony next to the tributary."
Everyone was shocked and shouted at the same time.
"Your Highness, you must not do that!"
"The journey to the south is long. Your Highness is a precious person. If you encounter any accident on the way, we, the ministers, will be unable to rescue you even if we want to!"
"The rain-making ceremony is not a joke. If the rain still doesn't come after the ceremony, the people may be angry at Your Highness. Please think twice!"
