Chapter 690 I have no choice but to accept my fate
Baoqin couldn't help laughing out loud.
She found that even though Concubine Xiao had changed her appearance, she still had the same personality.
I watched as Xiao Xixi had eaten up all the delicious food on the table.
She burped contentedly and collapsed on the ground, not wanting to move.
I want to sleep after eating.
Seeing this, Baoqin felt as if she was back in the Qingge Palace, and felt a long-lost sense of satisfaction in her heart.
"The ground is cold and humid. Lying on it for too long is not good for your health. Your Majesty, please lie on the couch."
Xiao Xixi struggled to get up from the ground.
She lay down on the couch and her body automatically adjusted to the most comfortable position.
Baoqin covered her with a blanket.
After hesitating for a while, Baoqin couldn't help her new curiosity and asked cautiously.
"Where have you been for the past year, madam? Why haven't I heard from you for so long?"
Xiao Xixi said lazily: "I went back to Xuanmen and went abroad to play for a while."
Baoqin: "What's wrong with your face? Why is it different from before?"
Xiao Xixi: "It's a long story, so let's not talk about it. Anyway, just remember that I am Princess Nanfeng now."
Baoqin was a very smart girl. When she heard this, she knew that this was not something she should know.
She wisely didn't ask any further questions and said firmly.
"Don't worry, I will definitely keep your secret and not let anyone know your true identity."
Xiao Xixi blew her a kiss: "Thank you, Miss Baoqin."
Baoqin ran away with a red face.
She was originally very angry, thinking that the emperor used Princess Nanfeng as a substitute for Concubine Xiao, and felt that the emperor was insulting Concubine Xiao.
Now that she knew that Princess Nanfeng was Concubine Xiao, all the anger, resentment and sadness in Baoqin's heart disappeared.
The rest is full of surprises.
She was happy about Concubine Xiao's return, and also happy about the unchanging relationship between the emperor and Concubine Xiao.
At noon, the emperor returned to the Weiyang Palace.
Baoqin quickly woke up the imperial concubine.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is back!"
Xiao Xixi struggled to tear herself off the couch.
Baoqin quickly helped her tidy up her appearance, while still giving her some instructions.
“Your Highness, you became a royal concubine as soon as you arrived. There must be people in the palace who are dissatisfied with you.
The only thing you can rely on now is the emperor's favor.
So you must firmly grasp the emperor's heart, remember?"
Xiao Xixi yawned and replied casually, "Yeah, I know."
There were shouts of thanks outside the door; the emperor was coming.
Baoqin quickly stepped back and knelt down.
Xiao Xixi blessed herself.
"Greetings to His Majesty."
Luo Qinghan personally helped her up, his eyes swept over the kneeling Baoqin, and said lightly.
"It is your blessing to let you serve the imperial concubine. Now you know what to do from now on, right?"
Baoqin bowed her head and said, "I know."
Luo Qinghan: "Go down."
"Yes."
When Baoqin was leaving, she bumped into Eunuch Chang.
They both stopped at the same time.
Eunuch Chang glanced inside the room and asked in a low voice.
"How's it going? You didn't displease the Imperial Concubine, did you?"
Baoqin remembered the imperial concubine's reminder and must not reveal her identity.
She lowered her head and laughed at herself.
"I am just a lowly servant. How dare I displease the Imperial Concubine? I will do whatever the Imperial Concubine tells me to do."
Eunuch Chang sighed, "Don't say that about yourself. I think the Imperial Concubine is easy to talk to. As long as you work hard, your life will be fine in the future."
Baoqin: "It doesn't matter. It's just like this."
Eunuch Chang felt that her mentality was not good and advised her in a low voice.
"Well, let's leave it at that for now. When there's a chance in the future, I'll find a way to transfer you somewhere else."
Baoqin was startled and said hurriedly, "No need!"
Eunuch Chang: ???
Baoqin's mind was working quickly and she spoke sincerely.
"It was the Emperor who asked me to serve His Majesty the Imperial Concubine. This is an imperial decree.
If you transfer me away, wouldn't that mean you are disobeying the imperial decree?
I am grateful that you are willing to help me.
But I will never let you be punished by the Emperor because of me.
Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to accept my fate."
After hearing this, Eunuch Chang felt even more upset. Concubine Xiao and Baoqin were both good people, so how could it have come to this?
He comforted her gently, "It's like this in the palace. Many things are beyond your control. It would be best if you could let it go."
Baoqin lowered her head again: "Yes."
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little sorry for Eunuch Chang.
The other person was thinking about her wholeheartedly, but she lied to him.
In order to compensate Eunuch Chang, she decided to cook more delicious food for him in the future.
Lunch was delivered from the imperial kitchen. Although the taste was not as good as Baoqin's, it was also very good.
Xiao Xixi is not picky about food and still eats with gusto.
While eating, she also put food into Luo Qinghan's bowl.
“This stew is very delicious, please try it.
"Two chicken legs, one for me and one for you, perfect!"
"I know you like light food. This lily shrimp will definitely suit your taste. You should try it."
…
When the imperial concubine picked up the first piece of food with chopsticks, Eunuch Chang wanted to stop her. On the one hand, it was because the emperor had a poor appetite recently and didn't eat many dishes. On the other hand, it was because the imperial concubine was using her own chopsticks to pick up food for the emperor instead of the public chopsticks.
As we all know, the emperor is a bit of a germaphobe.
He definitely can't accept using chopsticks that have been used by others to pick up food for himself.
Before Eunuch Chang could finish his words, he saw the emperor finishing the dish that the imperial concubine had picked for him without changing his expression.
Eunuch Chang was stunned for a moment.
What surprised him even more was that no matter what dish the imperial concubine picked for the emperor, the emperor would finish it. All his picky eating and mysophobia disappeared at this moment!
The food on the table disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Most of it went into the imperial concubine's stomach, and a small part went into the emperor's abdomen.
Even so, the amount of food the emperor ate at noon today was much more than usual.
Eunuch Chang never expected that the Imperial Concubine not only looked like Concubine Xiao, but also had a similar appetite as Concubine Xiao. Most importantly, she could help increase the Emperor's appetite just like Concubine Xiao.
It can be said that it is amazing that he is so dedicated and conscientious in being a stand-in.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Xixi began to feel sleepy again.
Luo Qinghan pulled her out.
"You need to walk around after eating. It helps digestion."
The two were walking in the courtyard.
Xiao Xixi looked at the beautiful flowers and plants in front of her and couldn't help but think of the vegetable garden in the backyard of Qingge Palace, and couldn't help but sigh.
"If we can grow vegetables in such a large area, I wonder how much we can grow."
Luo Qinghan's steps paused.
He emphasized expressionlessly: "This is Weiyang Palace."
Xiao Xixi was disappointed: "I know, we can't raise chickens and grow vegetables here."
Luo Qinghan: "Yunxiu Palace is very large, you can plant whatever you want."
