Chapter 237 Flying to the Tree and Becoming a Phoenix
Chen Liangyuan was secretly envious. She seldom got to eat precious ingredients like sea cucumbers and abalone. Now seeing Xiao Liangdi eating with relish, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva.
She secretly blamed Concubine Bai in her heart, why did she reject Xiao Liangdi's invitation just now?
If Concubine Bai hadn't refused, she would have been able to eat with Xiao Liangdi right now.
Xiao Xixi finished the abalone in a few bites, and then picked up a piece of pork tendon that was stewed until it was soft and tasty.
Wow! This is delicious too!
She swallowed the tendon quickly and shouted to Baoqin.
"Give me a bowl of rice!"
Baoqin quickly brought her a bowl of white rice.
Xiao Xixi scooped up the Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup, poured it on the rice, and then mixed it.
The rice absorbed the delicious soup, and she couldn't stop eating it.
Concubine Bai and Chen Liangyuan were stunned.
Didn’t you say to just eat two bites to fill your stomach?
How many bites have you eaten?!
Seeing that Xiao Liang Di was obsessed with food, Concubine Bai finally couldn't help herself and cleared her throat and said, "Sister Xiao, we came to you because we want to ask you something."
Xiao Xixi stuffed food into her mouth and took the time to reply, "What's the matter?"
"We heard that the prince is going to choose one of the noble ladies attending the banquet to be his consort. You accompanied the prince to the banquet yesterday. Do you know who he is going to choose as his consort?"
Xiao Xixi: "I don't know."
Chen Liangyuan didn't believe it: "You went to the banquet in person, how could you not know? Are you deliberately hiding it from us?"
"I really don't know. Yesterday, before we had time to decide on the Crown Princess, the Crown Prince suddenly fainted. The banquet had to be interrupted, and the Crown Princess issue was left unresolved."
After hearing this, Chen Liangyuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It’s good that the Crown Princess has not been confirmed, so that she will have one less mountain to worry about.
Concubine Bai was not as optimistic as Chen Liangyuan.
The Crown Princess must be appointed. Even if not now, she will have to be appointed in the future. It would be better to give her a quick death as soon as possible.
She felt very uncomfortable when she thought that there would be a woman by the prince's side who would treat him as an equal.
She couldn't help but frown when she saw Xiao Liangdi still eating.
"Aren't you worried at all?"
Xiao Xixi was happily chewing on a chicken leg. After hearing this, she felt very confused: "What are you worried about?"
"If we had a crown princess, our lives wouldn't be as comfortable as they are now."
"No, the prince will protect me."
Concubine Bai: "..."
I felt like my chest was stabbed hard and I wanted to vomit blood.
Seeing that Concubine Bai's face was getting worse and worse, Chen Liangyuan hurried to help smooth things over.
"Although Sister Xiao is very favored, the Crown Prince may not argue with the Crown Princess for you. After all, the Crown Princess is the Crown Prince's legal wife, and the Crown Prince must give her some face."
Xiao Xixi: "Don't worry, even if I'm the Crown Princess, I have to listen to the Crown Prince. The Crown Prince is a reasonable man, he won't let me be bullied. Last time you scolded me in Qingge Palace, the Crown Prince heard it, didn't he help me vent my anger?"
Chen Liangyuan: “…”
She felt offended.
She almost used up all her strength to resist the urge to curse and managed an ugly smile.
"Sister, you are such a joke. I am just a little concubine. How can I be compared with the Crown Princess?"
Xiao Xixi finished eating the chicken leg and then the chicken wing. She comforted the other person while eating.
"Don't underestimate yourself. As the saying goes, even a pheasant can eventually turn into a phoenix. Maybe you can have that day, too."
