Chapter 941: Either a traitor or a thief
The reason why Yao Jieyu came here today was not only to thank the Imperial Concubine for saving her life, but also to tell her her answer.
"Before, you asked me if I wanted to leave the palace and start a new life. I was willing to do so, but I was afraid that my family would not agree. So I sent someone to send a message back to the Yao family to ask my parents' opinions. They have already agreed."
In fact, the two elders of the Yao family did not agree at the beginning.
In their view, although the position of Jieyushi was not particularly high, it was not low either. As long as Jieyu Yao behaved herself and clung to the imperial concubine's thigh, her life in the palace should be good, at least much better than leaving the palace and marrying again.
It was not until Concubine Yao was suddenly poisoned and nearly lost her life that the two elders of the Yao family suddenly realized a fact -
In the palace, even if she behaves herself, others may not let her go.
Today, Yao Jieyu luckily managed to escape with her life.
But what about tomorrow?
Who can guarantee that Concubine Yao will be so lucky all her life?
In order to prevent their daughter from falling into danger again, the two elders of the Yao family finally changed their minds and agreed to let Concubine Yao leave the palace.
Although this poisoning was dangerous for Concubine Yao, it was not entirely without gain.
At least, she got the support and understanding of her parents.
Xiao Xixi: "Have you thought it through? Once you leave the palace, there will be no chance to turn back."
Yao Jieyu's face was slightly pale, but her gaze was more determined than before.
She spoke word by word.
“In fact, I know it very well in my heart.
Be it in terms of looks, talent, family background, intelligence and means, I can only be considered at the bottom of the harem.
I am able to live safely until now, all thanks to the care of Concubine Gui and Concubine Li.
But I can't rely on others all my life.
I must learn to be self-reliant.
Leaving the palace may not make my life better, but at least it will give me new hope.
I am willing to give it a try for this hope.
Please help, Madam Imperial Concubine."
After she finished speaking, she leaned forward and kowtowed again, and did not stand up for a long time.
Xiao Xixi looked at the top of her head and spoke gently.
"Since you have made up your mind, then as you wish, I will convey your thoughts to the emperor. Go back and pack your things. You will be able to meet Concubine Li soon."
Yao Jieyu: "Thank you, Imperial Concubine."
Xiao Xixi watched Concubine Yao leave.
Baoqin sighed softly, "This Yao Jieyu usually looks inconspicuous, but I didn't expect her to be quite clear-headed. Your care for her has not been in vain."
Xiao Xixi: "One kind of rice feeds a hundred kinds of people. Everyone has his own fate."
Among those who entered the palace as concubines, there were some who were obsessed with power like Concubine Jing, some who were paranoid like Concubine Lao, some who were straightforward and open-minded like Concubine Li, and some who were insightful like Concubine Yao.
Different personalities lead to completely different lives.
Wait until evening.
Luo Qinghan came to Yunxiu Palace and had dinner with Xiao Xixi.
In the past, Xiao Xixi would always serve soup to Luo Qinghan first. But today, before Xiao Xixi could do anything, Luo Qinghan took the spoon and served her a bowl of hot chicken soup.
He put the chicken soup in front of Xiao Xixi and motioned for her to drink some soup to warm herself up first.
Xiao Xixi looked at him steadily.
Luo Qinghan: "What?"
Xiao Xixi: "You seem particularly considerate today. If you are being nice to me for no reason, you are either a traitor or a thief. Did you do something to let me down?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her expressionlessly: "Can't you expect something good from me? Your internal injuries haven't healed yet, I want to take better care of you."
Xiao Xixi suddenly realized: "So that's how it is!"
She picked up the bowl, took a sip of the chicken soup, and then exclaimed exaggeratedly.
"This soup is especially delicious tonight! It's no wonder that His Majesty the Emperor personally served it to me!"
Luo Qinghan: “…”
Luo Qinghan: "Can you be more pretentious?"
Xiao Xixi: "Yes, to show my gratitude to Your Majesty, I can perform a split for you right here on the spot. Do you want to see it?"
Luo Qinghan refused coldly: "No, I don't want to see it."
Who the hell wants to watch their wife do the splits while they're eating?!
Xiao Xixi: "How about I sing you a song to express my gratitude?"
Without needing an answer from the other party, she began to sing with all her might.
"Thank you for your kindness! You accompany me throughout my life and give me the courage to be myself..."
Luo Qinghan picked up a piece of duck meat and stuffed it into Xiao Xixi's mouth, blocking her life-threatening singing in time.
Luo Qinghan sternly warned: "Eat well and don't make any noise."
The duck meat in her mouth was so delicious that Xiao Xixi temporarily gave up the idea of singing and began to concentrate on eating the food.
After eating and drinking, Luo Qinghan and Xiao Xixi went to take a bath.
In the large bathtub made of white marble, Xiao Xixi's entire body was submerged in the hot water, with only her little head, which was red from the steam, exposed.
To cool down, she also placed a towel soaked in cold water on her head.
Luo Qinghan leaned against the pool wall with his upper body exposed above the water.
The chest muscles wet by the water were glowing with a glossy luster, and the water droplets flowed down his cheeks, slowly falling from his chin and hitting the water. His cold white skin was slightly reddened by the heat, and even his cold and dark eyes seemed to have some scorching temperature.
Xiao Xixi saw that he was staring at her, and her burning gaze made her feel embarrassed.
She cleared her throat and said, "I know you must be full of impulse right now. After all, you are young and full of energy. I understand. I will sing a song for you to calm you down."
Luo Qinghan: "No, I don't want to listen."
Xiao Xixi ignored his refusal and sang happily.
"Hee shua shua shua shua I'm hee shua shua!
Hee swish, hee swish!
1, 2, 3, 4!
Mm, it’s cold, Mm, it hurts, Mm, Hmm!
My heart!
Luo Qinghan: “…”
His impulse disappeared completely in this fatal song.
All the beautiful images in my mind turned into bubbles.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind -
That is to catch that little bastard Xiao Xixi and give her a good beating!
This woman is really like a wretch! If she isn't punished for three days, she will tear the roof off the house!
Luo Qinghan stood up expressionlessly, causing a series of splashing water sounds.
He strode towards Xiao Xixi.
Xiao Xixi quickly stepped back, singing as she returned the money.
"Hmm, wait, wait, hmm, dream, dream, hmm, crazy, crazy!
Please give me back what you took from me!
Spit out what you ate from me!"
One runs in front and the other chases behind.
The sound of water accompanied by singing came one after another, making it very lively.
In the end, Xiao Xixi was caught by Luo Qinghan.
Luo Qinghan lowered his head and covered her lips, making her unable to make any noise except for her rapid breathing.
After taking this bath, both of them had irregular breathing and red cheeks.
It was obvious at first glance that these two people had done something shameless in the bathtub.
The palace maids and eunuchs all pretended to be blind and could not see anything, and silently helped the two men change their clothes.
