Chapter 396 There must be something wrong with that book!
Xiao Xixi looked up at him and explained, "I bought some books and have nowhere to put them, so I can only borrow your room to put them for now."
Luo Yechen was particularly unhappy: "The palace is so big, why do you have to put the books here? This is not a warehouse, take the books away quickly!"
Xiao Xixi's eyes rolled, and she suddenly leaned over and laughed.
"Does the eldest prince want to read my book?"
Luo Yechen sneered: "Everyone in Shengjing knows that this prince hates reading the most! You actually want to bribe me with books? You are dreaming! I won't be fooled!"
“These are not ordinary books.”
Xiao Xixi simply dragged the box out from under the bed again.
She opened the box, took out a book, turned to the page with the picture, and handed it to Luo Yechen.
Luo Yechen was originally very disdainful, but when he saw the content on the picture, his eyes immediately widened.
He stared at the pictures in the book without blinking.
Seeing that he was almost glued to the books with his eyes, Xiao Xixi smiled and said, "I will temporarily leave these books with you. You can read them anytime you want, but you are not allowed to damage the books, and you are not allowed to let others know about these books."
Luo Yechen swallowed his saliva, reached out to take the script, but his tone was still disdainful.
"I didn't expect you to read such a book. How shameless!"
Xiao Xixi: "Don't you also like to read books like this?"
Luo Yechen: "I am a man, so it is okay for me to read it, but you are a woman. Women should be virtuous, gentle and reserved. How can you read this kind of book? Why doesn't the prince care about you?"
Then he reacted.
"You hid these books with me just to avoid the prince, right?"
Xiao Xixi gave him a knowing smile: "Hey, it's good that you know it, don't say it out loud."
Luo Yechen was still mumbling: "I really don't know what the prince likes about you? You look so-so, you don't have any talent, your brain doesn't seem to be very bright, and you like to read some inferior books. The prince's taste is really weird."
Xiao Xixi retorted dissatisfiedly: "You can despise me, but you can't despise the prince's taste!"
Luo Yechen: “…”
Is this the point?
Xiao Xixi: "Besides, I'm not completely useless. I can eat a lot and I'm very strong. Didn't you see me carrying a box of books by myself just now? If it were you, would you be able to carry it?"
"Isn't it just a box of books? What's so hard to carry?!" Luo Yechen couldn't stand being looked down upon the most.
In order to prove that he was no worse than her, Luo Yechen threw away the book, jumped off the bed, rolled up his sleeves and went to pick up the box.
But even if he used all his strength, he could only hold the box up for a short while.
Soon he put it down again.
It’s really too heavy!
Although he had learned riding and archery, and knew some punches and kicks, he had never learned internal skills. In addition, he was spoiled and had limited strength, so he could not carry such a heavy box.
Xiao Xixi looked at him with her hands on her hips. Seeing that he was so tired that he was panting and his face was flushed, she couldn't help but laugh triumphantly.
"Look, you're not as strong as me, and you still look down on me?"
Luo Yechen glared at her angrily: "As a woman, why do you need to use so much strength?!"
Xiao Xixi: "You are a man, but you don't even have this much strength. Aren't you ashamed?!"
Luo Yechen: “…”
Forget it, he won't bother with this woman.
He took a deep breath, silently climbed back onto the bed, and continued reading his script.
Xiao Xixi also wanted to read the storybook.
But she was afraid that the prince would come to check on her.
She thought about it seriously and decided to endure it for the time being.
The story is here and cannot be changed. You can read it slowly later.
Let’s just fool the prince first today.
Xiao Xixi closed the box and pushed it back under the bed.
She warned him, "My Lord, remember to keep my books safe and don't let anyone find them. If the Crown Prince finds out about these books, we will both be left without books to read."
Luo Yechen's eyes were still glued to the script, and he replied impatiently, "I know, you're so long-winded."
Xiao Xixi ran back quickly.
…
Eunuch Chang returned to the study and said respectfully, "Your Highness, I have already sent the cakes to Concubine Xiao."
Luo Qinghan was reviewing official documents and asked casually, "What is she doing?"
"Concubine Xiao is reading a book."
Reading? Luo Qinghan raised his head from the official documents: "What book are you reading?"
Eunuch Chang: "I don't know."
Luo Qinghan: "Go and call General Xiao over."
"Yes."
After a while, Xiao Lingfeng came to the study.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Qinghan asked, "When you escorted Concubine Xiao to Panyun City, did Concubine Xiao bring any luggage?"
Xiao Lingfeng didn't know why the prince asked about this, but he answered truthfully: "I brought a suitcase."
"Only one box?"
Xiao Lingfeng replied with certainty: "Yes."
"Is that suitcase heavy?"
"It's very heavy."
If someone like Xiao Lingfeng, who has practiced martial arts for many years, says it is very heavy, then it must be very heavy.
Xiao Xixi said that the box was filled with clothes, but how could the clothes be so heavy?
She must have lied.
Luo Qinghan signaled Xiao Lingfeng to step back.
After Xiao Lingfeng left, Luo Qinghan stood up and walked towards Huaxianju.
Luo Qinghan deliberately did not let anyone know, and he appeared quietly at the door of Huaxianju.
The door was locked from the inside and couldn't be opened.
Seeing that the window was open, he walked towards it.
Through the window, he could just see Xiao Xixi inside the house.
Xiao Xixi was lying on the couch reading a book at this moment.
She was so absorbed in watching that she didn't notice anyone outside the window.
Luo Qinghan knew her too well. She didn't like reading at all. Apart from reading storybooks, she didn't want to touch other books.
She is actually reading a book seriously now, there must be something wrong with that book!
Luo Qinghan supported himself on the window frame with one hand, exerted a little force with his feet, easily climbed over the window, and landed steadily on the ground inside the house.
The series of movements were smooth and without making any sound.
Luo Qinghan walked slowly to Xiao Xixi's side and lowered his head to look at the book in her hand.
"What are you looking at?"
Xiao Xixi casually responded, "Reading."
She suddenly realized that there was someone next to her!
She looked up quickly and met the prince's dark eyes.
The air froze for a moment.
Before she could react, Luo Qinghan reached out and snatched the book from her hand at an extremely fast speed.
Xiao Xixi immediately jumped up and shouted, "Your Highness, why did you steal my book?!"
She reached out to grab the book back.
Luo Qinghan held her head with one hand and held the book with the other. He looked down at the cover of the book and saw two big words written on it -
Female virtue!
