Chapter 81 Concubine Bai Arrives
Queen Qin frowned slightly, with a hint of displeasure in her tone.
"Why on earth did you want to go to the South? You didn't listen to everyone's advice. You have never been so willful before. Is it because I punished Concubine Li and made you angry? Do you want to use this method to protest to me?"
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes: "No matter what your mother does, it is reasonable. Moreover, Concubine Li was wrong in the first place, and you should punish her. I have no objection."
Seeing that she could not get any more information out of him, Queen Qin simply stopped wasting words and said calmly, "Go back. I hope you can come back safely. I don't want to waste my time and energy training another prince."
"Please take care of yourself, mother. I will take my leave."
Luo Qinghan left the Pepper Room.
Queen Qin pinched her eyebrows.
Upon seeing this, Pearl took the initiative to step forward and gently massage her forehead.
"Please relax, Queen, and don't worry about your health."
Queen Qin closed her eyes and tried to relax her body, but her brows were still involuntarily furrowed.
"It's not that I have to worry about this, but the prince is too troublesome. He left the palace and had to run out to perform a rain-making ceremony. Doesn't he think he has enough troubles?!"
Pearl comforted him softly, "Your Highness is still young, and he grew up in the palace, so he will naturally be longing for the outside world. Marry him a princess, let her take good care of him, and give birth to a few big fat boys, and he will naturally stop thinking about running away."
Queen Qin opened her eyes and said, "That's right, it's time to choose a crown princess for him."
Originally, she was counting on Concubine Li to help keep an eye on the backyard of the Eastern Palace, but now that Concubine Li can no longer be relied on, she has to arrange someone else.
When the time comes to choose a Crown Princess, you also have to select a few more obedient and sensible girls and place them in the Eastern Palace. Even if this one doesn't work, there will be backups.
…
In Qingge Palace.
Xiao Xixi was just about to go to the small kitchen to see how the duck was roasting, but she didn't expect Concubine Bai to suddenly come to her.
There was no other way, Xiao Xixi could only temporarily leave her beloved roast duck behind and go out to meet the guests.
She bowed to Concubine Bai.
"I heard that my sister has been feeling unwell recently. Why don't you stay at home and rest? Do you have any instructions for me?"
With the help of Liu Xu, Concubine Bai knelt on the cushion and spoke softly.
"I don't take your orders, but I have something I want to ask my sister for help with."
Xiao Xixi sat down opposite her and asked curiously, "What's the matter?"
Concubine Bai was born with a beauty as beautiful as a flower, and had a delicate temperament like a willow swaying in the wind, which easily aroused men's desire to protect her.
She covered the corners of her mouth with a silk handkerchief, lowered her head and eyes, coughed lightly twice, and then spoke softly.
"Sister, have you heard the news that the prince is going south?"
Xiao Xixi looked confused: "Ah?"
The farthest place she had been since she woke up today was the vegetable garden in the backyard. As for what was happening outside, she had no idea.
Concubine Bai thought she was playing dumb, and said pointedly, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been staying in Qingge Palace every night these days, and I have been with him every day. How could he not inform you of such an important matter in advance? Or did you actually know about it a long time ago, but just didn't want to tell me?"
Xiao Xixi could tell there was something else behind her words and couldn't help but frown: "I really don't know, please just say whatever you want to say, sister."
Seeing that she really knew nothing about it, Concubine Bai felt inexplicably relieved.
It turned out that the prince didn't tell Xiao Liangdi everything.
Presumably, in the prince's heart, Xiao Liangdi was nothing special.
