Chapter 259 Reward
Luo Qinghan asked: "Is this another new way of eating you came up with?"
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, the meat roasted this way will be so delicious!"
Baoqin said as she methodically flipped the skewers.
"There is a lot of smoke here. Your Highness and Madam, please go to the side and rest. I will bring the roasted food to you two later."
Xiao Xixi smelled the aroma of the grilled skewers and was so greedy.
She ran over and picked two cucumbers, intending to use them to satisfy her craving.
She washed the cucumbers and gave one to the prince.
Luo Qinghan was looking at two pigs in the pigsty, his expression hard to describe.
He refused the fresh cucumber that Xiao Xixi handed over.
"I don't eat this."
Xiao Xixi munched on the cucumber with a crunch. The freshly picked cucumber was crisp and refreshing, and especially appetizing.
The two big white pigs that were originally dozing off smelled the fragrance of cucumbers, and immediately stood up, straightened their bodies, and lay on the pigpen fence, drooling at Xiao Xixi and making grunting sounds.
Xiao Xixi broke the cucumber that the prince didn't eat into two halves and fed them to the two pigs.
When Luo Qinghan saw this scene, the corners of his eyebrows couldn't help but twitch.
He squeezed out a word from between his teeth with a wooden face.
"You fed the cucumbers you gave me to the pigs?"
Xiao Xixi didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She asked back, "Don't you want to eat it? If you don't want to eat it, then feed it to the pigs."
Luo Qinghan felt that he was being implied.
He said gloomily, "I regret it. I shouldn't have agreed to let you raise pigs in the East Palace."
Xiao Xixi was afraid that he would have someone snatch the two pigs away, so she quickly comforted him, "Your Highness, don't say that. Pork is so delicious. You are still in the growth stage. Eating more meat will make you stronger~"
Instead of being comforted, Luo Qinghan became even angrier.
"Are you complaining that I'm not strong enough?"
Xiao Xixi felt that this was a fatal question, and no matter how she answered it, she would probably fall into a trap.
She decided to change the subject.
"Your Highness, please try this cucumber. It is sweet and crispy, so delicious!"
She handed him the cucumber that she had eaten half of.
Luo Qinghan: “…”
His handsome face was full of rejection and disgust, but his body bent down involuntarily and he opened his mouth to take a bite of the cucumber.
Xiao Xixi asked with sparkling eyes: "Is it delicious?"
Luo Qinghan swallowed the cucumber and said disdainfully: "That's it."
Xiao Xixi took another bite of the cucumber where he had bitten it, and said seriously, "I think it's delicious!"
Luo Qinghan stared at her lips, which were moist and shiny because of the cucumber juice, for a long time before speaking.
"There is no food in this world that you think is not delicious."
Xiao Xixi was not ashamed but proud: "This shows that I am not picky about food."
"You are not picky about food, but you eat too much and waste too much food."
"So I choose to be self-sufficient."
Xiao Xixi walked around the backyard, stood in an open space, put her hands on her hips and announced.
"I plan to build a grape trellis here. When summer comes, we can sit under the trellis at night, watching the stars while eating grapes. It makes me happy just thinking about it."
Luo Qinghan followed what she said, imagined the scene, and thought it was pretty good.
He said, "The Western Regions pay tribute to us with grapes every year. I'll share some with you later."
Xiao Xixi was suddenly overjoyed.
She bent down, picked a large cabbage, and presented it to the prince with the soil still on it.
"Your Highness, thank you for allowing me to raise pigs and grow vegetables here. I have nothing else to give you, so I'll give you this cabbage!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
He rejected her reward expressionlessly.
