Chapter 476: Fatal Question
There is a pot of fish soup on the table.
Luo Qinghan picked up a piece of white fish meat and fed it to Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi ate it in one bite without hesitation, but a fish bone got stuck in her throat and she started coughing madly.
Luo Qinghan paused, immediately put down his bowl and chopsticks, and patted her back.
Whenever he ate fish in the past, someone would shave off the fish bones first, but he himself never cared about such things. Moreover, this was his first time feeding someone, and as a novice on the road, he inevitably failed miserably.
Eunuch Chang and Baoqin, who were waiting outside the door, heard the noise and ran in immediately. They learned that Concubine Xiao was stuck by a fish bone, so they quickly sent someone to call the imperial physician.
Xiao Xixi quickly waved her hands, indicating that there was no need to call a royal physician.
She secretly practiced her internal energy and used it to push the fishbone out of her throat.
The moment the fishbone was spit out, everyone in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Xixi's body was already weak, and after being tormented like this, she became even weaker.
Baoqin knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit her guilt: "It was my fault. I didn't clean the fish bone properly, and the Concubine got stuck with the fish bone."
Luo Qinghan: "It has nothing to do with you, get up."
Baoqin got up, secretly glanced at Concubine Xiao, and then followed Eunuch Chang out.
Luo Qinghan filled a bowl of fish soup and fed it to Xiao Xixi.
After drinking the soup, Xiao Xixi felt her throat felt much better.
Luo Qinghan whispered, "I'm sorry, I've never served anyone before. Today is my first time. I have no experience and forgot to pick out the fish bones first."
Xiao Xixi originally wanted to make fun of him, but seeing his look, she suddenly lost the desire to make fun of him.
It was just a fish bone that got stuck in her throat, but she was able to make the Crown Prince apologize to her. No one would believe it if she told others about it.
Xiao Xixi asked: "Why did you suddenly think of feeding me? Isn't it better to let someone else do this?"
She actually wanted to ask you why you were suddenly so gentle to me?
But it's a bit embarrassing to ask this out loud.
Luo Qinghan: "You have done so much for me, I must give you something in return."
Xiao Xixi waved her hand: "No, no, you don't have to be so polite. If you really want to give me something in return, just make me some delicious food. There's really no need for anything else."
Luo Qinghan didn't respond. He asked, "What else do you want to eat?"
Xiao Xixi was actually not full, but she didn't want the prince to feed her anymore. She felt that this honor was a bit too much for her to bear.
She said against her will, "No, I'm full."
Luo Qinghan knew her appetite very well and knew that she was not full at all.
He said with a dull face, "Are you disgusted by my poor feeding skills?"
Xiao Xixi quickly denied: "No, no!"
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily.
After a long while, he said softly, "You have to give me a chance."
Xiao Xixi: "What opportunity?"
Luo Qinghan: "I wasn't born knowing how to do everything. I also need to learn and work hard to improve little by little. Whether it's reading and writing or taking care of people, it all needs to be done step by step. You can't deny me the opportunity to continue to improve just because I didn't do it well the first time."
Xiao Xixi: "But you are the prince. You can let others take care of others. You can use your precious time and energy on more important things."
Luo Qinghan: "Have you forgotten what I said to you yesterday?"
Xiao Xixi thought of what he said last night, and her heart couldn't help but soften.
She said helplessly, "Okay, whatever you want."
It’s just a fish bone stuck in the throat, it’s just eating vegetables, as long as it can make the prince happy, none of this matters!
Luo Qinghan asked again: "What do you want to eat?"
Xiao Xixi: "Whatever, I'm not picky about food, I can eat anything."
Luo Qinghan picked up another piece of fish.
This time he carefully picked out the fish bones before feeding it to Xiao Xixi.
He reminded her, "Eat slowly. If there are any fish bones left, remember to spit them out."
Xiao Xixi slowly ate the mouthful of fish, feeling inwardly that it was harder for her to eat meat now than to eat arsenic!
Luo Qinghan fed her a bowl of rice.
Xiao Xixi said: "You should eat too, don't just focus on feeding me."
Luo Qinghan: "I'm not hungry yet, you eat first."
Knowing that Xiao Xixi was full, Luo Qinghan ate some food with the remaining dishes.
It was the first time for him to serve someone like this, and it felt a bit novel, and also a bit secretly satisfying.
Luo Qinghan asked Xiao Xixi if she wanted to take a bath?
Now that the weather is getting warmer, even if you can't take a bath every day, you should at least take a bath every other day.
Xiao Xixi was unable to take a bath last night because of the poisoning, but logically she should have taken a bath tonight.
Xiao Xixi didn't think much about it and nodded in response: "Yeah."
Luo Qinghan: "You can't bathe yourself in this state, right?"
Xiao Xixi nodded again: "Yes."
Her limbs were so weak now that she might not even be able to climb into the bathtub. She would definitely need help.
Luo Qinghan: "I will help you take a bath."
Xiao Xixi thought she had heard wrongly.
She opened her eyes wide and asked again: "What did you say?"
Luo Qinghan was very calm: "Since it is inconvenient for you to bathe yourself, you have to ask someone to help you."
Xiao Xixi: "No, I can ask Baoqin to help. You don't need to do it yourself."
Luo Qinghan: "Why? Do you think I am not as good as Baoqin in serving you?"
Baoqin, who was waiting outside the door, felt an inexplicable chill.
She shuddered subconsciously.
The eunuch next to him asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Baoqin rubbed her arms and said, "Nothing, I just felt a little cold all of a sudden."
Eunuch Chang: "It's a bit cold at night. Go back to your room and put on more clothes to avoid catching a cold."
Baoqin didn't force it. After saying thank you, she quickly ran back to get her clothes.
inside the house.
Luo Qinghan was still waiting for Xiao Xixi's answer.
Driven by a strong desire to survive, Xiao Xixi flattered him against his conscience: "Then, then of course His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is better."
Luo Qinghan: "In that case, I will help you bathe."
Xiao Xixi struggled and said, "This is not good..."
Luo Qinghan sneered: "Your senior brother can help you take a bath, why can't I? In your heart, am I not as reliable as your senior brother?"
This is another fatal question!
Xiao Xixi smiled bitterly: "How old was I then? I didn't know anything. What is there to compare?"
Luo Qinghan pressed on: "You didn't understand when you were a child, but you should understand now. Tell me, in what way am I inferior to your senior brother?"
Xiao Xixi was unable to resist and could only admit defeat.
"Do whatever you want. I am your concubine anyway. Whatever you do to me is legal."
Luo Qinghan was satisfied, and he asked someone to prepare hot water.
