Chapter 775 Impulse is the Devil
Luo Qinghan put the fried eggs on the rack and handed them to her, saying in an almost coaxing tone,
"It's a rare opportunity to eat a double-yolked egg, so take a bite and share in the good fortune."
Xiao Xixi looked at the fragrant fried egg in front of her and couldn't help but open her mouth and take a bite.
Under normal circumstances, she could easily finish such an omelette in one bite.
Fortunately, she still remembered that this fried egg was specially prepared for the emperor, and she couldn't eat it all.
She was very restrained and took only a small bite, then praised it without hesitation.
"Smells so good! The eggs are so well fried!"
Luo Qinghan raised the corner of his mouth, ate the remaining fried eggs without any disgust, and agreed seriously.
"It smells really good."
Xiao Xixi was so pleased with the compliment that she smiled happily. If she had a tail behind her at this moment, it would definitely wag happily.
After eating the longevity noodles, the palace maids cleaned up the dishes.
The aroma of food still lingered in the air.
If it were any other palace, incense would definitely be lit to dispel the remaining smell of food.
But Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan didn't like to use incense, so incense was never lit in Yunxiu Palace. Compared to the smell of those spices, Xiao Xixi obviously felt that the taste of food was better.
Luo Qinghan asked slowly, "Now that we've finished eating the noodles, is it time to give me a gift?"
Xiao Xixi leaned in his arms, humming.
"You've received so many gifts today, do you still care about a small gift from me?"
Luo Qinghan: "Those are gifts from others, they are different from the gifts you gave."
Xiao Xixi raised her head and looked at him with sparkling eyes.
"What's the difference?"
Luo Qinghan thought about it and chose the statement that she could understand best: "They are dishes, but they are your meals."
Xiao Xixi showed dead fish eyes: "Do you want to say that I am a good-for-nothing?"
Luo Qinghan: "I mean you are indispensable."
Xiao Xixi: "Then why don't you just say I'm indispensable? Why do you call me a glutton?!"
Luo Qinghan: "I didn't say you were a glutton."
Xiao Xixi: “You said it!”
Luo Qinghan: "I don't have any."
Xiao Xixi: "You just said it!"
Luo Qinghan: "...Okay, I said it."
Xiao Xixi stood up angrily: "You actually called me a good-for-nothing, you're done, you won't get your birthday present!"
She ran out angrily.
Luo Qinghan was not in a hurry either. He stood up leisurely and followed slowly.
When he went out and stood in the corridor, he found that the courtyard was filled with palace lanterns.
In the cold dark night, these palace lanterns emit warm light, like bright stars gathered in this small courtyard.
Xiao Xixi stood in the courtyard that was as bright as day, with darkness, cold wind, and white snow behind her.
She sang with a smile while clapping to herself.
"Outing in spring, with apricot blossoms blowing all over my head.
Who is the handsome and elegant young man on the street?
I intend to marry you and spend the rest of my life with you.
Even if I am abandoned mercilessly, I will not be ashamed. "
The bold and straightforward love poems, coupled with her clear yet soft voice, seem even more sincere and passionate.
Luo Qinghan looked at her in a daze.
He grew up in the palace, surrounded by power struggles. Even the blood-thicker-than-water family affection would turn into bubbles in the face of power. As for the illusory love? It was even more of a joke.
But now, he could clearly feel the violent beating in his chest and the strong emotions that were almost overflowing.
This was a feeling he had never experienced since he was a child.
He even felt fortunate.
He obtained the true love that his father, mother, and even his mother's concubine had never received.
Xiao Xixi felt a little discouraged when she saw him standing there.
"Why don't you react at all? This is a surprise I specially prepared for you. Look at these lanterns, they were all made by me. The paintings on these lanterns were also painted by me stroke by stroke. And the love poem I just sang was also written by me..."
She paused, feeling really embarrassed for plagiarizing someone else's work, so she changed her words with confidence.
"Although I didn't write the love poem myself, I sang it myself. I sang it so well, won't you praise me?"
Luo Qinghan walked down the stairs and walked towards her step by step.
As the distance between them shortened, Xiao Xixi gradually saw the strong emotions in his eyes and was stunned.
Luo Qinghan pulled the person into his arms and hugged him tightly.
"Thank you. I like it very much."
This was not the first time they hugged each other, but Xiao Xixi felt that the hug tonight was particularly different.
She couldn't tell what the specific difference was, but it just felt very different.
She raised her hands and wrapped them around his waist, grinning triumphantly.
"I've been thinking for a long time, but I still can't think of a better gift for you.
You are the emperor. You have everything you need and all the good things. No matter what I give you, it will hardly surprise you.
I had to be creative and come up with this idea.
Isn’t this a great idea?”
Luo Qinghan said seriously: "Yeah, great."
There is no one better than her in this world.
Xiao Xixi struggled out of his arms and stretched out her little paws.
"Look, I pricked my fingers making these lanterns. It hurts so much. Please stop it."
Luo Qinghan looked at her white and tender fingers, which had a few small wounds that had not yet healed.
He held her hand, bent down and blew on her fingers, then stretched out his tongue and licked them gently.
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes wide.
My heart is beating a little fast.
Luo Qinghan kissed her fingertips again before letting go of her hand.
Xiao Xixi looked down at her fingertips, thinking about Luo Qinghan's actions just now. For some unknown reason, she couldn't help but stick out her tongue and lick her fingers.
Luo Qinghan: “…”
This scene is so exciting.
At his age, he was already full of vigor and vitality, and now that she had provoked him like this, he almost did that.
He took a deep breath of the cold air, trying to keep himself calm, and silently recited a few sentences of the Diamond Sutra in his heart.
Don't be impulsive, impulse is the devil.
Think about the last time she vomited blood and fainted.
When he thought of that scene, Luo Qinghan calmed down instantly.
He forced himself to look away from her fingers and said expressionlessly.
"Don't seduce me."
Xiao Xixi chuckled twice, silently put down her claws, and gently rubbed her fingers on the hem of her skirt to wipe away the strange feeling.
She held Luo Qinghan's hand and said with a smile.
"Come on, let's enjoy the lanterns. Take a look at the paintings on the lanterns."
Luo Qinghan stared at the strange lines on the lantern and pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what she had drawn.
In the end, he had no choice but to ask.
"What are you drawing?"
Xiao Xixi: "This painting is of you and me. Look, this little person is me, and that little person is you. We are holding hands. This painting is very vivid. How can you not see it?"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
If they have children in the future, they must never let her teach them to paint.
…
Good morning everyone!
Sit down nicely and place the bowl to ask for monthly tickets~
