Chapter 856 Can be salty or sweet!
In order to obtain the Nebula Veil, many concubines have recently rushed to the Yunxiu Palace.
The one who ran the most diligently was Concubine Li.
Every time they come with full loads, they leave empty-handed.
Gradually, some concubines who were short of money dared not come anymore.
Only Concubine Li still came every day and never missed a day.
Today is no exception.
As soon as Concubine Li finished her breakfast, she ran to the imperial concubine to play cards.
Also sitting at the same table were Concubine Min and Concubine Yan.
Both of them are very meticulous people. They choose their words carefully and play cards cautiously.
In comparison, the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Li were much more casual.
They are all veterans at the card table and are very skilled in playing cards.
In fact, Concubine Li’s card skills are already very good now, but the Imperial Concubine’s luck is too good. Even if Concubine Li tries hard to improve her card skills, it is still difficult for her to beat the Imperial Concubine.
But she really wanted the Nebula Veil in the Imperial Concubine's hand, so she always stared at the Imperial Concubine's cards.
In the end, without exception, Concubine Li suffered a miserable defeat.
The silver and money in front of Princess Li was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
On the contrary, the amount of money Xiao Xixi had was increasing rapidly.
Just then Baoqin came in with a cup of freshly brewed hot milk tea.
She poured a cup of hot milk tea for each of the four people.
Concubine Li likes the food in Yunxiu Palace the most, especially the milk tea, which is fragrant and sweet, and makes her feel extremely happy after drinking it!
The only bad thing is that drinking too much will make you fat.
But Concubine Li didn't care about that.
She had just lost money and was feeling depressed, so she urgently needed milk tea to relieve her mood.
She stretched out her chubby hand, picked up the cup, and drank the whole cup of milk tea in one breath.
Xiao Xixi said slowly.
"Looking at Princess Li, I suddenly realized something."
Princess Li instinctively felt that she would not say anything good next, but she still couldn't help but ask.
"What's the reason?"
Xiao Xixi: "You can't grow too fat, otherwise when you go out to beg for food, no one will believe you are a beggar."
Princess Li: "..."
I suspect you are implying something about me.
Concubine Li gnashed her teeth and said, "As the emperor's concubine, how could I possibly go out and beg for food?"
Xiao Xixi: "Your family fortune is almost gone. If you have no money, you can only beg for food."
Princess Li: "..."
I was almost fuming with anger.
She had finally figured out that the imperial concubine in front of her not only looked similar to Concubine Xiao, but also had a similar personality and even spoke in the same irritating way!
Baoqin asked considerately, "Would Concubine Li like another drink?"
Concubine Li roared out a word angrily.
"want!"
She turned her grief and anger into appetite and drank another large cup of milk tea.
She had no money left, but at least she still had meat.
Seeing that it was getting late, Concubine Li, Concubine Min and Concubine Yan stood up and said goodbye.
Xiao Xixi asked Concubine Li if she would come in the afternoon?
Concubine Li said gloomily, "I have to finish my manuscript this afternoon. I will come to play cards with you after I earn the manuscript fee."
Xiao Xixi waved her little fist: "Come on, big shot!"
Princess Li: "What is Dada?"
Xiao Xixi: "This is a nickname for the author."
After hearing this, Concubine Li felt a little embarrassed. She coughed lightly and said, "I'll take my leave now."
After walking out of Yunxiu Palace, Concubine Min asked curiously.
"What kind of manuscript are you rushing to finish, Sister Li Fei? Are you writing to make money?"
Concubine Yan was also very curious about this and was staring at Concubine Li without blinking.
Princess Li just glanced at them casually.
"Just take care of yourselves and stop asking about my affairs."
Concubine Min was not angry after being criticized, she still smiled and said, "It was me who said too much."
Concubine Yan pursed her lips, secretly thanking herself for not saying anything. At the same time, she also felt a little dissatisfied with Concubine Li's arrogance.
But she also knew in her heart that Concubine Li's status was higher than theirs, so it was normal for her to ignore them.
In the future, when she becomes a concubine, she will naturally be able to treat others with the same attitude.
…
As usual today, Xiao Xixi went to the imperial study to have lunch with the emperor.
When Luo Qinghan saw her coming, he took out two boxes of snacks he bought from Suxiangtang.
As soon as Xiao Xixi saw the delicious food, her eyes immediately lit up.
She immediately opened the snack box and found her favorite mung bean cake inside, as well as peanut crisps and baked cookies.
This baked pancake is actually similar to the biscuits that Xiao Xixi eats in modern society. It is a small piece, baked to be fragrant and crispy, and sprinkled with a little fine salt.
Because sugar is added to the ingredients of the biscuits, when you take a bite, it tastes salty with a hint of sweetness, which is very delicious.
Xiao Xixi ate several pieces of baked cakes in one breath.
As she ate, she said, "As a human being, you should be like this little baked cake, dry and crisp, salty or sweet!"
Luo Qinghan could understand being straightforward, but he couldn't understand being both salty and sweet.
He asked his doubts.
Xiao Xixi: "For example, when I'm too lazy to move, I'm like a salted fish, which is salty. When I'm being cute and coquettish to ask for your permission so that I can farm and raise pigs in the palace, I'm sweet. In short, I can be both salty and sweet!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Luo Qinghan: "If you are the type who can be both salty and sweet, then I'd better be a normal person who is neither salty nor sweet."
Xiao Xixi: "Who are you saying is abnormal?"
Luo Qinghan: "Come, eat more mung bean cakes."
Xiao Xixi hesitated for half a second between continuing to be angry and eating.
Then she quickly took the mung bean cake handed to her by Luo Qinghan, stuffed it into her mouth, and ate until her little face was puffed up.
Luo Qinghan wiped his fingers clean, took out a golden butterfly hairpin from his sleeve, and gently placed it in front of Xiao Xixi.
"This is yours, I'm giving it back to you."
When Xiao Xixi saw the golden hairpin, she was confused: "Is this mine?"
Luo Qinghan: "I gave this to you when we were in the East Palace."
Xiao Xixi stared at the butterfly gold hairpin for a long time before she barely remembered that she seemed to have such a hairpin.
It's not her fault that she has a bad memory. It's just that the prince gave her too many jewelry. She has never cared much about these material things and has no idea how many jewelry she has.
Xiao Xixi swallowed the food in her mouth and asked curiously, "Why is this golden hairpin here with you?"
Luo Qinghan: "This was stolen from Qingge Palace by Concubine Lao. She wanted to use this hairpin to frame you for treason."
Xiao Xixi paused while eating.
Once the crime of treason is proven, the entire family will be executed.
The tuberculosis concubine wants her entire family to die!
Luo Qinghan: "You don't have to worry, I've already asked someone to handle this matter, and I won't let you suffer any loss."
Xiao Xixi didn't ask him what he was going to do specifically, but just nodded to indicate that she understood.
She asked instead.
"The father of the consort is a senior scholar of the Imperial Academy, and he has an extraordinary status. He is also your teacher. If the consort's matter becomes a big deal, will it affect you?"
Luo Qinghan answered the question irrelevantly: "Bai Haocheng is against the tax reform this time."
Bai Haocheng is the father of Concubine Tuberculosis.
Xiao Xixi understood his thoughts in an instant.
Bai Haocheng is not on the same page with him.
…
