Chapter 787: Comparison is really frustrating
Anyway, Luo Qinghan was on annual leave recently and had nothing to do in the palace, so he took Xixi out of the palace to play every day.
From childhood to adulthood, Luo Qinghan has been living in a very strict environment.
But since he has been with Xixi, his life atmosphere has gradually changed.
He would occasionally sleep in with Xixi, often get to taste some food he had never eaten before, and go out to play with her if he had time. They could do whatever they wanted, just as they pleased.
It seemed that as long as he was with Xixi, he could temporarily forget his sorrow.
He likes this feeling and this kind of life.
He likes Xixi more because she brought him all this.
Xiao Xixi squatted in front of a stall, looking at the pigeons tied to the rack.
There were two other customers standing at the stall at this time.
The old stall owner was trying his best to promote how high and far his pigeons could fly. He was talking with great passion and saliva flying, and the two customers were very excited.
Xiao Xixi gently stroked the pigeon's little head.
"Others only care about how high or far you fly, but I am the only one who really cares about whether you prefer grilled or braised food."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
The stall owner: “…”
He was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted, "What I raise here are homing pigeons! Not meat pigeons!"
Xiao Xixi was very disappointed: "It's such a pity that such a fat thing can't be eaten."
Seeing that the old man was so angry that he was about to curse, Luo Qinghan pulled Xiao Xixi away quickly with an expressionless face.
Xiao Xixi was reluctant to leave: "I suddenly want to eat pigeon."
There happened to be a restaurant nearby, so Luo Qinghan took her in to eat.
Xiao Xixi finally got to eat the baby pigeon she had longed for.
After they finished their meal, they came out of the private room and passed through the lobby, where they happened to hear the diners discussing the storytelling competition.
Xiao Xixi paused and glanced at the group of diners.
The group of diners were unaware and continued chatting animatedly.
"I heard that this storybook competition is held by the King of England, and the rewards are very generous!"
"The King of England is always generous. As long as you win the competition, you will definitely get a reward. If you are lucky, you may even get the King's favor and get a position in the court!"
"It seems like you are going to participate in the storybook competition?"
"Haha, there's no harm in trying!"
…
Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan walked out of the restaurant.
The two of them went to other places to have a look, and almost everywhere they went, they could hear people talking about the storytelling competition.
It seems that the King of England has already advertised the storytelling competition.
Look at the effect, it’s really good!
The two did not return to the palace until dark.
In Yunxiu Palace, Concubine Jing waited for more than three hours.
She maintained a correct sitting posture the whole time, and by the time she had sat for so long her back and waist ached and her legs became numb.
She really wanted to get up and walk around, but Baoqin was watching her beside her. As soon as she moved the slightest, Baoqin would immediately pretend to ask her questions eagerly.
"Are you going back, Madam?"
Concubine Jing could only sit back down and said with a smile, "I will wait a little longer. I believe that the Imperial Concubine will be back soon."
As it was getting dark, she could hardly hold on any longer.
Just when she was about to go back and come back tomorrow, she heard someone outside reporting something.
"The Emperor and the Concubine are back!"
Concubine Jing was very surprised. How come the imperial concubine came back with the emperor? !
Before she could react, the imperial concubine and the emperor walked in.
Concubine Jing quickly stood up to greet him, but because she stood up too quickly, her vision went dark and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Dong Ling, who was beside her, was quick to support her in time.
She endured the pain in her legs, forced herself to pay her respects to the emperor and the imperial concubine.
"I have been disrespectful. I hope Your Majesty and the Imperial Concubine will forgive me."
Luo Qinghan: "Why are you here?"
Concubine Jing: "I came here to look for the Imperial Concubine. I didn't expect Your Majesty to come here. I am sorry for being so rude. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."
When Luo Qinghan saw the way she got up just now, he could guess that she must have been waiting here for a long time.
She had almost no contact with the imperial concubine on weekdays, but she suddenly came to see her and waited for such a long time. She must have some ulterior motive.
Luo Qinghan thought about what had happened to the Jing family recently, and he quickly figured out the reason.
At this time, Concubine Jing was secretly observing the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine.
She discovered that the two men were wearing civilian clothes.
Why would these two disguise themselves as civilians?
Unless the two of them went out of the palace.
No wonder they came back so late, they actually left the palace.
Concubine Jing felt jealous. The emperor took the imperial concubine with him wherever he went, even when he left the palace. He truly treated the imperial concubine as his treasure.
On the other hand, she had been waiting here for most of the day, her waist and legs aching from waiting, but she didn't even get a word of concern.
It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
Luo Qinghan wanted to find an excuse to send Concubine Jing away, but was stopped by Xixi.
Xiao Xixi: "Your Majesty has just returned, you must be tired, go change your clothes first, I am here for you."
Luo Qinghan looked at her deeply.
Xiao Xixi smiled sweetly at him: "Go ahead, go ahead."
Luo Qinghan finally obeyed her.
After he left, Xiao Xixi sat down in the main seat and asked Concubine Jing to sit down and chat.
Concubine Jing sat down with her skirt pulled up and said with a smile.
"Did the Imperial Concubine go out of the palace with His Majesty today?"
Xiao Xixi did not answer but asked: "Is Concubine Jing very interested in the itinerary of this palace and His Majesty?"
Concubine Jing's smile froze slightly.
Spying on the emperor's itinerary is no small matter.
She showed a panicked look and said hurriedly, "I have no intention of asking about your majesty's itinerary."
Xiao Xixi waved her hand: "It's okay, don't be nervous, I was just talking casually."
Baoqin served hot tea and said slowly, "My Lady Concubine, Concubine Jing has been waiting for you for more than three hours. I guess Concubine Jing has something very important to talk to you about."
Xiao Xixi: "Oh? Princess Jing, please tell me what you want to say. I may not help you even if you tell me."
Princess Jing: “…”
Baoqin almost laughed out loud.
She tried very hard to hold back her laughter, and quietly stepped aside with the teapot in hand.
People in the palace always give others some face when speaking, and Concubine Jing has never seen anyone speak as harshly as the imperial concubine.
wrong.
There is another person who is just like the imperial concubine, always saying things that make people hate him so much that their teeth itch.
That person was Concubine Xiao.
Thinking of Concubine Xiao, Concubine Jing couldn't help but take another look at the imperial concubine at the top. These two people not only looked alike, but also spoke and acted alike.
Before Concubine Jing could delve further, she heard the Imperial Concubine ask.
"Why aren't you talking, Princess Jing?"
Concubine Jing came back to her senses and immediately suppressed her thoughts. She smiled and said, "I am mainly here to wish you a happy new year. These are the gifts I prepared for you. I hope you don't mind."
Dong Ling came forward holding the New Year gift.
Xiao Xixi: "Concubine Jing is thoughtful. Baoqin, put the things away."
Baoqin stepped forward to take the gift and handed it to Zhezhi, who took it to the storehouse for storage.
Concubine Jing: "Besides, I have another favor to ask of you."
…
Good morning everyone!
Concubine Jing: As the saying goes, if you take something from someone, you should be obliged to do it for me. Since you have taken something from me, you have to do me a favor.
Xixi: What I am best at is taking money but not doing the job~
……
Please give me a monthly ticket~~~
