Chapter 360: There is such a cool operation!
Qiu Sheng seemed unable to continue speaking here, and his face turned red.
After a long while, he continued speaking in a voice as thin as a mosquito.
"I found... a woman lying next to me."
Xiao Xixi suddenly realized: "It's nothing to have sex after drinking. If you like her, just marry her. Is it because her status is too low that she can't be your wife? Then she can be a concubine."
Qiu Sheng shook his head: "It's not that simple. That woman is Rong Ji. She is... she is my father's favorite concubine."
Xiao Xixi: “…”
She crunched the peanuts in her mouth and her almond-shaped eyes widened slightly.
Damn, this plot is quite exciting!
Luo Qinghan obviously didn't expect such a bloody development, and his expression became indescribable.
Qiu Sheng covered his face, looking ashamed to see people.
"I was drunk that day, and I was so drunk that I didn't know when Rong Ji slept next to me. I also didn't know what I did to her. Anyway, when I woke up, she was lying next to me."
Xiao Xixi had no experience with this kind of thing, so she turned and looked at the prince.
Luo Qinghan had no expression on his face: "What are you looking at me for?"
Xiao Xixi: "I am a little curious and would like to ask you a question."
"explain."
Xiao Xixi leaned over and asked curiously, "Can a man really consummate his marriage with a woman after he is completely drunk?"
Luo Qinghan said with a wooden face: "I don't know."
Xiao Xixi didn't believe it and thought he was shy, so she moved closer and whispered, "Your Highness is also a man, and you have so many beautiful concubines. You must have a lot of experience in this area. Please help me give some advice."
Luo Qinghan said coldly: "I have no experience in this area."
Xiao Xixi looked at him suspiciously, as if she was thinking about the credibility of his words.
Luo Qinghan: "I don't like drinking, and I don't want to touch those women."
Xiao Xixi suddenly remembered what he had said before. He said that he didn't want to have children before he could protect himself.
Thinking of this, she understood.
"Okay, it seems I asked the wrong person."
Xiao Xixi turned to look at Qiu Sheng and saw that he was crying again.
He cried and said, "I really didn't mean it. I didn't mean to steal my father's girl, wuwuwu!"
Xiao Xixi said hesitantly: "As long as you don't tell anyone about this, no one will know about it."
Qiu Sheng: "But Rong Ji told me that she didn't want to serve my father anymore and she wanted to marry me. I didn't want to, so she threatened me that if I didn't marry her, she would spread the news about our relationship and ruin my reputation."
Xiao Xixi was stunned again.
There is actually such a cool operation!
Qiu Sheng wiped away his tears again: "My father is seriously ill now. The doctor said that he cannot be provoked. If he knew about the relationship between Rong Ji and me, he would be so angry that his condition would get worse. I can't let my father be provoked like this."
He has been so worried about this matter recently that he has been unable to sit still and has been drinking all day to drown his sorrows. He looks much more haggard.
Xiao Xixi: "But Rong Ji is your father's favorite concubine. She is half your elder. Even if you are willing to marry her, does she really dare to marry you? Isn't she afraid of being scolded and shutting herself up?"
For a son to marry his father's concubine is an unorthodox thing no matter what era it is in and will definitely attract countless criticisms.
By then, not only Rong Ji, but also Qiu Sheng will be criticized by thousands of people, and the spit from everyone will be enough to drown them.
I have to say, Rong Ji really dares to think and do!
Qiu Sheng cried and said, "Rong Ji said that she secretly saw the suicide note written by my father. My father wanted all his concubines to be buried with him after his death. Rong Ji was very scared. She said that she was still young and didn't want to die so early. She wanted to live, so she wanted me to take her into my room, so that she wouldn't have to die."
Even if one is scolded to the point of becoming autistic, it is better than being forced to be buried alive. At least one can still be alive.
This is probably what Rong Ji was thinking. Instead of waiting to die, it is better to take a chance.
Xiao Xixi smacked her lips: "Tsk, another burial sacrifice!"
Why did these ancient people love to bury people alive with their dead?
Wouldn't it be nice to be buried quietly?
Why does it have to be so bloody? Aren’t you afraid of damaging your virtue?
Luo Qinghan could understand Prince Chenliu's approach.
He calmly explained, "The Prince of Chenliu was probably afraid that those young concubines would not be able to remain widowed and would cause a scandal in the future that would bring discredit to the palace, so he simply took them all to the underworld. This way, he could eliminate the trouble forever."
Xiao Xixi: "Then you can send her to a nunnery."
"Even if she is sent to a nunnery, she can return to secular life in the future. The Prince of Chenliu does not want to leave any hidden dangers, so choosing to let his concubine be buried alive is the simplest and most effective way."
The practice of burying people alive with their dead was very cruel, but for a politician like Prince Chenliu, whether it was cruel or not was not within his consideration. He cared more about the result.
As long as the result satisfies him, it is worth it no matter how bloody the process is.
The same principle can also be applied to the emperor.
Xiao Xixi leaned close to Luo Qinghan's ear and whispered, "If you become the emperor in the future, you must change this system of burying people alive with the dead. It's really too cruel."
Luo Qinghan responded: "Yeah."
He originally didn't care about the matter of burying people alive with the dead, but now looking at Xiao Xixi, he couldn't help but think about it more.
If he died before her in the future, he certainly wouldn't want to see her forced to be buried alive with him.
Even if he is gone, he still hopes that she is alive and well.
Qiu Sheng's crying disappeared at some point.
Xiao Xixi turned her head and saw that he was actually asleep on the table.
She reached out and pushed him.
"Third Young Master?"
Qiu Sheng smacked his lips but didn't wake up.
Eunuch Chang said, "He must have been too drunk and fell asleep. I'll have someone take him back to the palace."
Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.
Eunuch Chang went downstairs and called two Yulin Guards. They helped Qiu Sheng out of the restaurant and sent him back to the palace in a carriage.
Xiao Xixi jumped up and said excitedly: "Your Highness, since we are all here, why don't we go shopping!"
Luo Qinghan did not refuse, which was considered as his consent.
They paid the bill and walked down the street.
Xiao Xixi had no interest in clothes and daily necessities; she was completely focused on eating.
At this moment, she had completely forgotten the punishment of not being able to eat meat, and wanted to eat everything she saw.
Luo Qinghan followed her silently, watching her eat without restraint, her eyes shining with excitement, like a mouse falling into a rice jar.
Xiao Xixi took the freshly baked pie from an auntie and took a bite. It had a thin crust and plenty of meat, and was salty and fragrant. It was especially delicious!
The aunt happily took the copper coin from Luo Qinghan. Seeing that the two men were handsome, she couldn't help but ask a question.
"Girl, is this your brother?"
Xiao Xixi said while eating: "No, he is my husband."
"Your husband is so handsome!"
Xiao Xixi smiled proudly, with stars shining in her eyes: "Of course! My husband is the most handsome man in the world!"
Luo Qinghan lowered his eyes to look at her, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.
