Chapter 285 Wait and See
Xiao Xixi didn't react at once.
The prince's face became increasingly gloomy, and he seemed to be about to get angry.
She suddenly remembered that this was the secret signal given to her by the prince!
Touching the beads twice meant that he wanted her to help drive the people away.
Xiao Xixi felt that this was not a good idea. They were eating the meals provided by the Dong family, but they were going to drive the Dong family out. She felt guilty about it.
But the prince was still staring at her, and it seemed that he was not going to give in.
Xiao Xixi sighed helplessly, thinking that she had to be the bad guy today.
She put down the lamb chops in her hand, wiped her hands with a cloth, and cleared her throat.
"Minister Dong, can I ask you a favor?"
Although she was dressed as a man, Dong Mingchun knew her identity and immediately said, "Just give me your orders."
Xiao Xixi: "Can you all please go out?"
Dong Mingchun didn't understand.
Xiao Xixi: "I have something I want to tell the prince in private. I feel embarrassed to have so many of you standing here. Could you please go somewhere else to eat?"
Dong Mingchun's eyes swept between her and the prince, and then he suddenly realized.
It seems that Concubine Xiao and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are planning to do some loving things.
This kind of thing is indeed not convenient to do in front of outsiders.
Dong Mingchun immediately stood up and called away his three sons, as well as the musicians and dancers.
Before leaving, Dong Mingchun did not forget to say something to Xiao Xixi with a smile.
"You can do whatever you want. I promise that no one will disturb you two."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
For some reason, I always feel that Minister Dong seems to have made up some extraordinary things in his mind.
Soon, Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan were the only ones left in the room.
Luo Qinghan asked expressionlessly: "Why did you drive away Minister Dong's family as well?"
Xiao Xixi asked blankly, "Didn't His Highness ask me to drive them all away?"
"I just want you to drive those musicians and dancers away. They are too noisy."
Xiao Xixi finally realized: "It turns out that I misunderstood!"
Luo Qinghan felt that he needed to cultivate a tacit understanding between the two of them.
After lunch, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi left Dong's house and took a carriage back to the palace.
Xiao Xixi pleaded eagerly, "Your Highness, I want to go for a walk in the city, okay?"
Luo Qinghan rejected her mercilessly.
"I just took you to the night market last night. Behave yourself today and don't go anywhere."
Xiao Xixi pounced on him, hugged his waist and started to act like a spoiled child, clamoring to go shopping.
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "If you make trouble again, the two pigs in your backyard will be gone."
Xiao Xixi paused.
She retracted her claws angrily and looked at him pitifully.
"Your Highness, you are so cruel, so heartless, and so cold-blooded!"
Luo Qinghan sneered: "Yes, I am so cruel and ruthless, what can you do?"
Xiao Xixi couldn't do anything.
She could only curl herself up into a ball and shut herself in silently.
After returning to Qingge Palace, Xiao Xixi was about to lie down on the couch when she was stopped by the prince.
Luo Qinghan placed three pieces of paper covered with words in front of her.
"Memorize all the information on this. In three days, I will come to check. If you can't memorize it, the pigs in your backyard will be gone."
Xiao Xixi picked up the paper and saw that it was filled with the prince's preferences.
For example, his favorite color is black and his most hated color is colorful.
Xiao Xixi actively asked: "What color is colorful?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's just colorful colors."
Xiao Xixi continued to read.
"Your Highness, you don't like to eat meat. Meat is so fragrant and delicious, why don't you like to eat it?"
Luo Qinghan: "It's too greasy. I feel sick if I eat too much."
Xiao Xixi: "Then I picked some meat dishes for you before, and you didn't say you didn't like it."
Luo Qinghan: "That's to give you face."
Xiao Xixi was flattered: "I didn't expect that I would have face in front of you."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Who are you looking down on?
He said coldly, "You can carry it slowly. I am leaving first."
Xiao Xixi hurriedly stopped him: "Wait a minute, you said that if I can't recite it within three days, you will confiscate my precious pig, so what if I can recite it? What reward will I get?"
When Luo Qinghan heard the words "baby pig", the corners of his eyebrows twitched.
She actually called two pigs babies?!
Then what is he?
Luo Qinghan sneered: "The fact that I can tolerate you raising pigs in the East Palace is already the greatest reward for you."
Xiao Xixi was not convinced: "Let's put it this way. You promised me to raise pigs before, and now you can't use it as an excuse."
"So what reward do you want?"
Xiao Xixi chuckled and said, "I want that bamboo forest."
This woman hasn't forgotten her bamboo rat meat.
Luo Qinghan refused mercilessly: "No, change another one."
Xiao Xixi said aggrievedly: "It's okay if you don't give me the bamboo forest, but you have to let me expand the vegetable garden."
"Aren't there enough vegetables in the backyard for you to eat?"
"I want more variety."
Luo Qinghan hesitated for a second between expanding the vegetable garden and eating bamboo rat meat, and he decisively chose the former.
"If you can memorize all the contents of these three pieces of paper within three days, I will allow you to expand your vegetable garden."
Xiao Xixi immediately burst into laughter: "Thank you, Your Highness! Your Highness is really the best person in the world. I love you the most!"
Luo Qinghan ignored her flattery and said expressionlessly: "Don't be too happy too soon. If you can't recite it, your pig will be gone."
Xiao Xixi was very confident: "I didn't study well before because I was lazy. As long as I work hard enough, memorizing books will be no problem at all!"
"Then I'll just wait and see."
After leaving Qingge Palace, Luo Qinghan went directly to Minguang Palace. He still had a lot of things to do.
Xiao Xixi was originally sitting down to memorize her lessons, but after a while she felt too hot to sit still anymore, and her upper body fell on the table, like a salted fish that was about to melt.
She lay there for a while, but then felt uncomfortable reciting the text in this position.
So she lay down on the ground again, with a soft cushion under her, so she didn't feel that cold.
She lay on her side, supporting her face with one hand, holding the paper with the other hand, looking at the densely written words on it, and sighed in her heart again.
"Endorsing is not something a human should do!"
Just then, Chen Liangyuan came.
She bowed and said, "Greetings to my sister."
Xiao Xixi sat up and motioned for her to sit down and talk.
Chen Liangyuan sat down opposite her and glanced at the two pieces of paper on the table, which were full of words.
At a glance, she recognized the handwriting as the prince's.
Chen Liangyuan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Baoqin came over at this time and placed the teacup in front of Chen Liangyuan.
"My lord, please have some tea."
When Chen Liangyuan went to look at the two pieces of paper again, she found that Concubine Xiao had already put them away.
