Chapter 316 You are too naive
Chen Liangyuan felt relieved.
She thought about it carefully and couldn't help but said it sourly.
"I didn't expect the Crown Prince to think so highly of Concubine Xiao that he would openly contradict the Queen for her. How could she be so lucky?"
Concubine Jing smiled with an ambiguous tone: "Don't worry, she is already a grasshopper after autumn, she won't be able to jump for much longer."
Chen Liangyuan became interested: "What do you mean?"
Concubine Jing put down the teacup and explained with a smile.
"In order to save Concubine Xiao, the Crown Prince completely angered Queen Qin. Queen Qin will definitely hate Concubine Xiao. Even if she can't be dealt with this time, isn't there always a next time?
The queen is the queen after all. Her status and means are there. It is easy for her to deal with a little concubine.
So what if Concubine Xiao is favored by the Crown Prince?
The prince is busy with his own affairs, how can he possibly be with him all the time?
There are still many days ahead, and people are always careless. As long as the queen finds an opportunity, Concubine Xiao will die. "
Chen Liangyuan nodded in agreement: "Sister is right, Concubine Xiao is definitely no match for the Queen. She will be crushed to death by the Queen sooner or later."
Concubine Xiao and Di Liangdi Duan were the two most favored people in the Eastern Palace. Now Di Liangdi Duan is already useless, and Concubine Xiao is almost gone.
Qin Xiya still didn't know when she would be able to come out of Lengxiang Tower.
Concubine Li has never been favored, and Concubine Bai is in poor health.
Among the high-ranking concubines in the Eastern Palace, only Concubine Jing is still standing.
As long as Concubine Jing can maintain her composure, she will most likely become the strongest contender for the Crown Princess in the future.
When Chen Liangyuan thought of this, she couldn't help but feel fortunate.
Fortunately, she hugged Concubine Jing's thigh in advance.
When Concubine Jing becomes the Crown Princess in the future, she will also be able to benefit from it.
…
In the imperial study.
The prince bowed respectfully.
"Your son greets His Majesty, Father."
When he stood up, the emperor saw the wounds on his face and couldn't help frowning.
"The Queen actually hit you."
The prince lowered his eyes and said nothing.
It looks like he has been wronged but is unwilling to speak out.
The emperor saw him like this and sighed: "You are too obedient to the queen and have no temper at all, which is why she thinks you are easy to bully."
Luo Qinghan whispered, "I think that even though they are not biological mother and son, they have lived together for more than ten years, so they should have some feelings for each other."
"You are too naive. If the Queen really has feelings for you, she should let you bide your time instead of rushing you to become the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan stopped talking again.
Emperor: "Even if I don't tell you, you should know some things. The Qin family supports you as the crown prince not because they have deep feelings for you, but because you are easier to control."
Luo Qinghan laughed at himself: "Father is right, I am just a pawn. Now that I have fallen out with the Qin family, I am afraid that I will not be able to sit on the position of crown prince for long."
The emperor frowned, expressing his dissatisfaction with this statement: "Although the Qin family is powerful, they are not able to dispose of the prince at will. It was Queen Qin who first proposed to make you the crown prince, and the Qin family also expressed great support for this, but the person who made the final decision was me. As long as I don't give in, no one can touch you."
Luo Qinghan raised his head, his eyes full of admiration.
"Father, thank you!"
The emperor smiled and said, "You are my biological son. I will definitely protect you. As for what the Qin family thinks, you don't need to care."
Luo Qinghan was so moved that his voice trembled a little: "Thank you, father, for your advice."
The emperor said some more words to encourage him.
When the atmosphere between father and son became harmonious, the emperor asked about another matter.
"In two days it will be the anniversary of Shen Zhaoyi's death. Do you still plan to go to Shengguang Temple to burn incense as usual?"
Shen Zhaoyi was Luo Qinghan's mother. She was only 20 years old when she died. To outsiders, she died so young. In addition, she was not of high rank and was not eligible to be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Her ashes could only be placed in Shengguang Temple.
Every year on the anniversary of her death, Luo Qinghan would personally go to Shengguang Temple to burn incense for Shen Zhaoyi.
Luo Qinghan: "Yes."
The emperor said: "When the time comes, you can also light a stick of incense for me."
"Yes."
…
When Luo Qinghan returned to Linde Hall, he found that Xiao Xixi had woken up.
She was sitting under the porch eating a pear, and when she saw the prince coming back, she immediately jumped up and said happily.
"Your Highness is finally back!"
As soon as Luo Qinghan saw her, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up.
He walked up to her and asked, "When did you wake up?"
"I just woke up and felt a little hungry, so I asked Mo Hua to bring some pears over. Would you like some, Your Highness?"
As Xiao Xixi spoke, she picked up a big pear and gave it to him.
Luo Qinghan: "No, I'm not hungry."
He walked down beside Xiao Xixi and saw her chewing the pear with relish, as if she had forgotten the grievances she had suffered in the Pepper Palace.
She is still as carefree as ever. No matter how big the matter is, as long as she has a good sleep and a good meal, she will forget everything.
Luo Qinghan said, "I will go to Shengguang Temple to burn incense in a few days. You can go with me."
Xiao Xixi paused while eating the pear.
She asked hesitantly, "Can I not go?"
It's very troublesome to go out, especially to boring places like temples. I have no motivation at all.
Luo Qinghan knew her too well. He said calmly, "The vegetarian food in Shengguang Temple is very famous. Don't you want to try it?"
Xiao Xixi nodded vigorously: "Let's think about it! The day after tomorrow, right? Okay, I'll prepare it in advance, and then we'll go to Guangzhao Temple to eat... No, we'll go to Shengguang Temple to burn incense!"
Luo Qinghan rubbed her head.
Xiao Xixi protested: "Please don't keep touching my head. If you keep touching me like this, my head will be bald!"
Luo Qinghan couldn't help but imagine what Xiao Xixi would look like with a bald head, and suddenly he felt unwell.
He silently moved his hand from her head to her face and pinched it lightly.
Well, the feeling of pinching the face is no worse than touching the head.
Xiao Xixi's face was pinched so much that it was a little deformed.
She looked at the prince speechlessly, thinking, couldn't this man just be quiet? Why did he have to touch her?
Since neither the Crown Prince nor Concubine Xiao had lunch, Mo Hua asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a table of meals.
Seeing that there was something delicious, Xiao Xixi immediately put aside her dissatisfaction about having her face pinched and happily enjoyed the food in front of her.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Xixi returned to her Qingge Palace.
As soon as she left, Luo Qinghan called Zhao Xian over.
"Can you have someone investigate how the rumors about Concubine Xiao came about?"
“Here!”
Zhao Xian took the order and left.
