Chapter 942 Love
When lying on the bed, Xiao Xixi was already a little tired.
But she still cheered herself up and told Luo Qinghan about Concubine Yao.
After listening to this, Luo Qinghan didn't react much.
He hugged Xixi and whispered in her ear.
"I'll take care of it, go to sleep."
"Um."
Xiao Xixi snuggled in his arms, closed her eyes peacefully, and fell into a sweet dream.
The next day, Luo Qinghan got up before dawn as usual.
He was afraid of disturbing Xixi, so he was very careful when getting up.
From getting up to getting up to putting on his shoes, he didn't make a single sound.
So much so that Baoqin, Eunuch Chang and others who were waiting outside the door didn't know that the emperor had woken up.
It was not until Luo Qinghan pushed the door and walked out that they realized the emperor had actually gotten up, and they were all shocked.
They greeted each other hurriedly.
Before they could speak, Luo Qinghan made a gesture to silence them, signaling them to shut up.
Everyone just shut up.
Luo Qinghan pointed to the small room next door.
Everyone followed him into the small room.
Luo Qinghan lowered his voice and said, "The imperial concubine is still sleeping, don't disturb her, just change clothes and wash up here."
Eunuch Chang and Baoqin looked at each other.
It was always the concubines who avoided the emperor for fear of disturbing his rest, but there had never been an emperor who took the initiative to avoid the concubines for fear of disturbing their rest.
This is the first time in the history of the world!
Although they were full of surprise, as slaves and servants, they dared not ask or say anything and could only do as they were told.
Everyone helped the emperor change his clothes and wash up in silence.
Breakfast was delivered from the imperial kitchen.
Luo Qinghan finished eating quickly and rode on the dragon chariot to the council hall.
After the emperor left, Zhezhi and Xiyu immediately gathered around Baoqin and talked in a low voice.
Xiyu has a more lively personality. She spoke first, her tone full of amazement.
"I heard that His Majesty went to the next room to change clothes and wash up in order not to disturb the Imperial Concubine's rest today. He didn't dare to make any noise the whole time. His Majesty dotes on the Imperial Concubine too much, doesn't he?!"
Zhezhi agreed: "I have never seen a concubine as favored as the noble concubine."
Baoqin was so proud. Although her silly girl was lazy and greedy, the Emperor liked her so much that the three thousand concubines in the harem could not match her favor.
Baoqin put on the airs of a senior palace maid and spoke seriously.
"This is not called being favored."
Xiyu and Zhezhi were puzzled. If this was not considered favor, then wouldn't those concubines who couldn't even see the emperor be crying and fainting? !
Baoqin said seriously: "This is called love!"
The drizzle and the broken branches suddenly realized what was going on and sighed in unison.
"What a beautiful love!"
When Xiao Xixi woke up, it was already noon.
The sunlight coming in from the window made her dazed for a moment.
She rubbed her eyes, turned her head and saw that there was no one around her. The emperor was nowhere to be seen.
Zhezhi brought two little palace maids in to help the imperial concubine change clothes and wash.
Xiao Xixi asked while yawning.
"Has your Majesty gone to court?"
Zhezhi answered truthfully, "Yes."
Xiao Xixi: "When did he leave? Why didn't he wake me up?"
Zhezhi pursed his lips and smiled: "His Majesty pities you and wants you to sleep a little longer, so he deliberately didn't let anyone wake you up."
After breakfast, Fang Wujiu came to check the imperial concubine's pulse.
The imperial concubine had not come out yet, so Baoqin asked Doctor Fang to wait for a while and brought tea and snacks herself.
Fang Wujiu took a look and found that it was the wolfberry and chrysanthemum tea he often drank, and smiled with satisfaction.
"Thank you."
Baoqin then brought out a plate of sweet-scented yam cakes: "This yam has the effect of replenishing qi and blood, and can strengthen the body. I specially added some sweet-scented osmanthus sugar to increase its fragrance and taste. Doctor Fang, please try it."
Fang Wujiu usually likes to eat yam. He picked up the chopsticks and tasted a piece. It was indeed sweet, crispy and very delicious.
Baoqin: "What do you think?"
Fang Wujiu put down his chopsticks, took a sip of wolfberry chrysanthemum tea, and then spoke slowly.
"Miss Baoqin's cooking skills are very good. This yam cake is much better than the ones I bought outside. As the saying goes, a man who eats someone's food should be grateful. Since I have eaten the yam cake you made, if you need my help, just ask me."
Baoqin likes to talk to smart people.
Before she even opened her mouth, the other party knew what she wanted to say.
Baoqin actually had a worry in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it on weekdays for fear of causing a bad influence on the imperial concubine.
Until this time when the imperial concubine was kidnapped, she looked weaker than usual when she came back.
Baoqin's worries grew deeper.
She really wanted to get a definite answer.
Doctor Fang often comes to see the imperial concubine. He is the one who knows the imperial concubine's physical condition best in the entire Imperial Hospital, and the imperial concubine trusts him quite a bit, so he must be reliable.
Baoqin whispered: "It has been more than a year since the Imperial Concubine entered the palace, and there is still no news of pregnancy. I am worried about the Imperial Concubine's health..."
Doctor Fang smiled and said, "Except for being a little weak, the Imperial Concubine is fine. Miss Baoqin doesn't need to worry. As for pregnancy, there is no need to worry for now. It will come naturally when it is time. It all depends on fate."
Baoqin: "Why does the imperial concubine look less energetic these past two days?"
Doctor Fang: "It's probably due to a loss of Qi and blood. Just take good care of yourself."
Baoqin smiled with relief: "With your words, I feel much more at ease."
She paused and continued, "I made a lot of this yam cake. If you like it, take some back and enjoy it slowly later."
Doctor Fang: "Then I won't be polite."
When Xiao Xixi walked in, she happened to see Baoqin and Doctor Fang chatting and laughing, and she couldn't help but stop.
Her eyes moved between the two of them.
"What are you guys talking about?"
Baoqin immediately bowed to her and said, "I was talking to Doctor Fang about the sweet-scented osmanthus and yam pastry."
Doctor Fang: "The yam cakes made by Miss Baoqin are delicious."
Xiao Xixi walked over and sat down with Baoqin's help.
"Baoqin's cooking skills are always very good. If you like it, you can take some home and enjoy it slowly later."
Baoqin immediately said, "I will pack the yam cakes right away."
She backed out.
Doctor Fang took out the pulse pillow and placed it on the table.
Xiao Xixi stretched out her right hand, placed it on the pulse pillow, and said with a smile.
"Brother, you are not young anymore, would you like to consider finding a wife?"
Fang Wujiu held her wrist and said, "Don't talk while I'm taking your pulse."
Xiao Xixi just shut up.
After taking the pulse, she couldn't help but reveal a mischievous look again.
"Although you are several years older than Baoqin, you are pretty good-looking and can treat illnesses, which is a skill you have. You won't starve to death in the future. Baoqin shouldn't despise you."
