Chapter 8: Concubine Bai's Invitation
Xiao Xixi picked a tender cucumber, wiped it with a handkerchief, and then started to chew it.
Homegrown cucumbers taste extra crispy!
There is also a small wooden house next to the vegetable garden, where mushrooms and bean sprouts are planted.
When Xiao Xixi saw the fresh bean sprouts, she immediately shouted outside.
"I want to eat cold bean sprouts for lunch!"
Baoqin replied from a distance: "Okay!"
At lunch, Xiao Xixi ate the refreshing and delicious cold bean sprouts as she wished, and felt extremely satisfied.
This kind of life of eating and waiting to die is really wonderful!
I really hope it could go on like this forever.
After eating and drinking, she prepared to go back to the house for a nap.
Baoqin reminded: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a reward, aren't you going to thank him?"
"Haven't you already thanked me?"
Baoqin was angry at her for not fighting back: "What I meant is that you should show your face in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince under the pretext of thanking him. Although you have the status of a Xuanmen, His Royal Highness should not neglect you, but if you can get a little more favor from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, wouldn't it be better?"
Now there is no Crown Princess in the Eastern Palace, only two concubines, and there are more than a dozen other people including Liang Di, Liang Yuan, and Mei Ren.
No one said anything openly, but everyone was secretly coveting the position of Crown Princess.
If Xiao Xixi was only the daughter of a fourth-rank general, she would definitely not be qualified to become the Crown Princess, but she also had the identity of a member of the Xuanmen, which meant that she was also qualified to compete for the position of the Crown Princess.
However, Xiao Xixi collapsed directly onto the bed, her entire body exuding a strong smell of salted fish.
"It's too tiring to compete for favors. I can't do it. I'd better take a nap first."
After saying that, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
Baoqin: “…”
Although she had long been aware of her master's lazy nature, she still felt upset at this moment.
Xiao Xixi slept for a full hour.
While helping her wash her face, Baoqin said, "Just now, Concubine Bai sent someone to deliver an invitation, saying that there will be a tea party at Cuimingxuan tomorrow afternoon, and she wants to invite you to have tea and appreciate the flowers."
"It's a tea party. Are there lots of delicious food?"
"I think so."
"Then I'm going!"
Baoqin was really worried about her as she watched her get so excited.
"This tea party may very well be a Hongmen Banquet. You should be careful and don't fall into their trap."
None of the women in this harem are simple.
Yesterday, Xiao Xixi was locked up in Lengxiang Tower, and everyone thought she was doomed this time. Unexpectedly, in just one night, she not only moved back to Qingge Palace, but also received a reward from the prince.
You have to know that the prince is famous for his cold temper. There are so many beauties in the East Palace, but no one can attract his attention.
Now that Xiao Xixi has experienced so many ups and downs, it is obvious that she has attracted the attention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
How can this not make people jealous? !
Concubine Bai handed out the invitation at this time, probably because she had other intentions.
Baoqin could think of this, and Xiao Xixi could naturally think of it as well, but as a salted fish, she was too lazy to engage in intrigue with those women.
If someone invites her to eat something delicious, she will go.
It’s a waste if you eat it.
Anyway, with her skills, all the women in the East Palace combined are no match for her.
Luo Qinghan was busy until the evening before returning to the East Palace.
He dined alone, as usual.
Even though there were many beauties in the backyard, he insisted on living like an ascetic, restraining himself and abstaining from sex.
After he finished his dinner, Eunuch Chang handed him an amulet with both hands.
"Your Highness, this is what Xiao Liang Di asked me to pass on to you."
