Chapter 1013 The Heartless Little Thing
After eating and drinking enough, and having a good sleep, Xiao Xixi felt much more comfortable.
But Luo Qinghan's mood was still not very good.
Xiao Xixi tried to cheer him up by telling jokes, but even after she finished talking until her mouth was dry, his expression remained stiff and cold.
She had no choice but to use her trump card and decided to sing a song on the spot.
As soon as she opened her mouth, she was met with Luo Qinghan's death stare.
A line of lyrics was stuck in my throat and I couldn't utter it out.
Xiao Xixi was very disappointed: "Even my singing can't heal you?"
Luo Qinghan: "Your singing only makes me more depressed."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She sighed and said, "How can I make you happy?"
Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand, hugged her gently but firmly, held her whole body in his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and spoke softly.
"Don't make any noise. Just let me hold you quietly for a while."
Xiao Xixi obediently shut her mouth, treated herself as a human pillow, and let him hug her.
After a while, she spoke again, not giving up.
"Do you really not want me to sing a song? I think the current atmosphere is very suitable for singing a cappella."
Luo Qinghan: "If you keep talking nonsense, you can only eat white rice porridge every day from now on."
The threat was so destructive that Xiao Xixi didn't dare to say anything and just huddled obediently in his arms.
Perhaps it was because his embrace was too warm and comfortable, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again.
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes to look at her, and saw that she was sleeping soundly. She didn't care at all about the fact that she had been asleep for most of the day. Instead, he was worried about it.
He couldn't help but curse in his heart, what a heartless little thing.
The next day.
Before dawn, Xiao Xixi was woken up from her sleep by Luo Qinghan.
She rubbed her eyes and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"
Luo Qinghan: "Get up, have breakfast, and follow me."
Xiao Xixi was puzzled: "Where should I go with you?"
Luo Qinghan didn't say anything. He took the hot and wet towel from the palace maid and wiped Xiao Xixi's face himself.
He had never served anyone before and couldn't control the strength well. After rubbing for a while, Xixi's little face was rubbed red, and her eyes were misty because she was not awake yet, making her look particularly weak and pitiful.
The palace maids and eunuchs nearby didn't dare to look any longer and all lowered their heads tactfully.
In the past, they would be surprised and puzzled by the emperor's indulgence of the imperial concubine, but now they have become accustomed to it.
In fact, apart from their identities as emperor and imperial concubine, the atmosphere between the two of them was no different from that of an ordinary couple in the folks.
After washing her face, Xiao Xixi felt much more awake.
She climbed out of bed using her hands and feet, and the palace maids immediately surrounded her to help her change clothes and comb her hair.
It was not until breakfast that Xiao Xixi finally woke up completely.
As she ate, she asked, "Where are we going?"
Luo Qinghan drank a mouthful of hot soup and said calmly, "Go to court."
Xiao Xixi was so scared that she choked. She quickly picked up the cup and drank two big gulps of hot milk. Only then did she swallow the food that was stuck in her throat.
Luo Qinghan picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the milk off her mouth.
Xiao Xixi asked in astonishment: "You are going to court, so why are you taking me with you?"
Luo Qinghan: "You don't need to do anything, just stay still and don't move."
Xiao Xixi couldn't understand: "But why?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her steadily: "I have to keep an eye on you all the time, so that you don't do anything with your body again."
Since no one else can control her, he will control her himself.
He wanted to keep her under his supervision at all times so that she would not have the chance to cause trouble again.
After breakfast, the two of them rode on the dragon chariot to the council hall.
This is the first time Xixi has gone out so early. Usually she is still sleeping soundly at this time.
She couldn't help but yawn.
Luo Qinghan: "You can sleep for a while, I will remind you when it's time."
Xiao Xixi didn't say anything polite and immediately fell down and lay horizontally on the couch.
She rested her head on his thighs, then pulled his wide sleeves over herself, closed her eyes, and fell into sleep mode in a second.
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes and looked at her, hooking a strand of her hair with his fingertips.
The cold white fingers contrasted sharply with the black hair.
After the dragon chariot came to a complete stop, Eunuch Chang gave a low reminder.
"Your Majesty, we have arrived."
Luo Qinghan gently patted Xiao Xixi's cheek.
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes, put her hands on his legs, slowly sat up, and muttered.
"How come you're here so soon?"
Luo Qinghan led her down from the dragon chariot.
In front of you is the east gate of the council hall, which is also the emperor's exclusive passage.
The sky was already bright at this time, but the temperature was still very low and the cold wind was blowing.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Luo Qinghan held her hand tighter.
He whispered, "The ground is slippery, be careful."
Xiao Xixi hid half of her face in her fox fur scarf.
The snow-white fox fur makes her little face look even more petite and beautiful.
She responded muffledly, "Yeah."
Luo Qinghan took her up the stairs and entered the left side hall of the council hall through the east gate.
He asked Xixi to stay in the left side hall and gave her instructions.
"Don't run around. Sit here and wait for me to leave."
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently and said yes.
Luo Qinghan left Cao Nuo here and asked him to take good care of the imperial concubine, and then went to the main hall.
The council hall is divided into the main hall and two side halls on the left and right. On weekdays, the emperor and civil and military officials held court in the main hall. The left side hall was generally the emperor's exclusive resting place, while the left side hall was the resting place for court officials.
The side hall is right next to the main hall, and the two are connected by a door.
At this time, the door was open, and the emperor sitting at the top could see the scene in the left side hall by just turning his head slightly.
While listening to the court officials discussing important matters, he also paid attention to Xiao Xixi who was in the left side hall.
Originally, Xixi was kneeling on the cushion, but later, because she had been sitting for a long time, she probably felt her legs and feet were numb, so she changed to sitting cross-legged.
This sitting posture was indeed a bit vulgar for a woman, but Luo Qinghan had long been accustomed to her casual style of doing things, so he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
There were some snacks on the table in front of Xiao Xixi, which were sent by Cao Nuo.
While she was eating tea and snacks, she listened to the court officials discussing business.
As she listened, she began to doze off and yawned one after another.
When she yawned for the 30th time, the morning court finally ended.
Luo Qinghan walked into the left side hall and extended his hand to Xixi.
"Let's go."
Xiao Xixi put her hand in his palm and let him pull her up.
Maybe it was because I sat for too long, I felt a little dizzy when I stood up.
She shook herself.
