Chapter 298 His Highness is in a bad mood again
Concubine Bai, Concubine Qin, and Concubine Jing originally wanted to follow the prince, but they saw the prince walking straight towards Concubine Xiao.
The three of them stopped and watched the prince walk up to Concubine Xiao.
The three of them stood facing each other.
Concubine Xiao was wearing a silver-white cloak and standing there charmingly, like the brightest star in the night.
She raised her head, revealing her fair and rosy little face.
I don’t know what the prince said to her, but a bright smile appeared on her face and she looked very happy.
She took the prince's hand and walked towards the parked carriage.
The prince did not struggle and just let her pull him.
The two of them gradually walked away.
Concubine Bai grasped the silk handkerchief tightly in her hand, and her nails almost pierced it.
Qin Liang Di said with a half-smile, "This Concubine Xiao is really favored."
Concubine Bai didn't say anything and just turned around and left.
Qin Liangdi was not angry and said something to Yicui casually.
"Let's go back to the palace too."
"Yes."
Concubine Jing looked in the direction where the Crown Prince and Concubine Xiao left, with a thoughtful expression.
…
Xiao Xixi and Luo Qinghan returned to the East Palace in a carriage.
The carriage stopped at the gate of Qingge Palace.
Xiao Xixi asked the prince to sit for a while while she went into the kitchen to busy herself.
She also has to prepare a midnight snack for the prince tonight.
Baoqin also went into the small kitchen to help Concubine Xiao.
Luo Qinghan thought that today was Mid-Autumn Festival, so he asked someone to find some materials to make a lantern.
At this time, Zhao Xian stood at the door and bowed to the prince in the room.
"Your Highness, I have something to report."
Luo Qinghan used bamboo strips to make a lantern frame and responded, "Speak."
Zhao Xian walked into the room and told the story of Concubine Xiao being plotted against. At the end, he said, "The young eunuch has been sent for treatment. The imperial physician said his life has been saved, but his tongue was bitten and he may not be able to speak anymore."
If you can't speak, you naturally can't confess.
Luo Qinghan: "Go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and check this little eunuch to see who he belongs to?"
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan picked up the lantern stand, looked left and right, and thought the size was okay. Then he picked up the rice paper next to it, applied paste on it, and carefully pasted it on.
He asked casually, "Has the man who suddenly appeared in the fitting room woken up?"
Zhao Xian answered truthfully, "He's awake. He said his name is Lu Yun and he's from the Imperial Guards. Because tonight is the Mid-Autumn Festival, he accidentally drank two more cups and felt a little dizzy, so he thought he'd go to the locker room to take a nap while no one was paying attention. He didn't expect to run into Duan Liangdi there, and he didn't expect Duan Liangdi to be so ruthless and knock him out in one go."
Luo Qinghan sneered: "Only a three-year-old child would believe such a lie. Keep him locked up and I will deal with him tomorrow."
"Yes."
Luo Qinghan asked again: "Where is the palace maid who spilled the wine on Duan Liangdi?"
Zhao Xian: "That maid is dead. She hanged herself."
Luo Qinghan stopped talking.
He carefully pasted the paper on the lantern, and in order to make the paste dry faster, he lit a small candle inside the lantern.
The candlelight shone through the lantern paper, casting a warm glow on his handsome face.
After making sure that the prince had no other instructions, Zhao Xian took his leave.
Xiao Xixi came out with a tray with two bowls of hot chicken noodle soup on it.
The noodles cooked in chicken soup are particularly fragrant, sprinkled with some green onions and covered with a round fried egg.
Xiao Xixi was quite surprised when she saw the lantern in his hand and noticed the remaining materials beside him.
"Is this the lantern that Your Highness made?"
Luo Qinghan responded calmly: "Yeah."
He hid his fingers, which were accidentally cut by bamboo strips, in his sleeves.
He said nonchalantly, "I made this for fun when I was bored. If you like it, I'll give it to you."
Xiao Xixi put the tray on the table, picked up the lantern and looked at it.
This is a very ordinary small round lantern. Because it was just painted with paste, the paper surface is still a little moist and it looks like it has not dried yet.
She smiled with eyes curved: "I didn't expect His Highness to have such talent, it's amazing!"
Luo Qinghan acted very reserved: "It's just a trivial skill."
Xiao Xixi: "I will have someone hang the lantern on the bedside. From now on, I will be able to see this lantern every time I open my eyes."
Luo Qinghan thought, every time she saw this lantern, she would think of him, right?
Xiao Xixi handed the lantern to Baoqin, and Baoqin personally hung the lantern above the head of the bed in the bedroom.
Xiao Xixi invited the prince to eat noodles.
"You have to eat this noodles quickly, or it will get mushy."
Luo Qinghan looked down at the fried eggs in the bowl and said expressionlessly.
"I don't eat fried eggs, I want boiled eggs."
Xiao Xixi: "Fried eggs smell delicious!"
Luo Qinghan: "I don't want to eat it, take it away."
Xiao Xixi muttered quietly: "Your Highness is losing his temper again."
Luo Qinghan: "What did you say?"
“No, nothing.”
Xiao Xixi picked up the fried egg with chopsticks and put it directly into her bowl.
She went back to the small kitchen, boiled an egg, and made a plate of smashed cucumbers.
She peeled the hard-boiled egg, put the white egg into the prince's bowl, and asked, "Is this all right?"
Luo Qinghan reluctantly accepted the boiled egg.
Xiao Xixi sat down opposite him, picked up the fried egg with chopsticks and took a big bite.
The egg is fried golden on both sides and is very fragrant!
The prince actually doesn’t like to eat it, he really doesn’t know what’s good!
Xiao Xixi finished the two fried eggs in the bowl in a blink of an eye.
She held the chopsticks in one hand and the bowl in the other, and she ate all the noodles in the bowl like crazy, not even leaving any soup.
She put down her bowl and chopsticks and sighed with contentment.
"Although I haven't cooked for a long time, my skill in cooking noodles has not deteriorated. This noodle tastes really good."
Luo Qinghan ate noodles elegantly without making any sound.
Xiao Xixi supported her face with one hand, watched him eat noodles, and suddenly spoke.
"I heard that Shengjing City has a lantern festival every Mid-Autumn Festival, and people can guess lantern riddles. Why is there no one guessing lantern riddles in our palace?"
Luo Qinghan swallowed the noodles in his mouth slowly and said slowly: "If you want to guess the riddle, I can give you a riddle now."
Xiao Xixi asked curiously: "If I guess it, will there be a reward?"
Luo Qinghan: "What reward do you want?"
"I want the bamboo forest behind."
Luo Qinghan refused without thinking: "This one won't work, let's change to the next one."
Xiao Xixi thought for a moment and said, "I want to raise two sheep and two cows."
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Not only do you farm and raise pigs in the palace, you are also planning to open a ranch in the palace? !
Xiao Xixi: "I want to drink milk and eat mutton."
Luo Qinghan: "Forget it, you'd better stop guessing riddles and go to bed quickly. Dreams can bring you anything."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Once again, I was so angry that I became a pufferfish.
