Chapter 463 Sausage
In the following period, Concubine Li would report to Qingge Palace on time almost every day. She had only one goal - to win!
She dreams of winning back all the money she lost!
Concubine Bai and Duan Liangdi don't come every day. They usually come every few days, and Yao Zhaoxun is about the same.
Since there were often situations where there were not enough people present, Xiao Xixi had a deck of playing cards custom-made so that three people could play Landlord.
Whether it is mahjong or poker, Concubine Li is addicted to the games.
Unfortunately, her luck was far worse than Concubine Xiao's, and she lost far more than she won.
Soon her savings were gone.
She had no choice but to borrow money from Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi readily agreed to lend the money and said that no interest was required.
She was not worried at all that Concubine Li would default on her debt. They all lived in the East Palace and she was protected by the Crown Prince. Concubine Li would not dare not pay back the money unless she didn't want to stay here anymore.
After borrowing money, Concubine Li continued to play cards, and then continued to lose, continued to borrow, and continued to lose...
The amount of money she owed was increasing, and the IOUs she left with Xiao Xixi were piling up.
Perhaps because the money owed was too much, Concubine Li couldn't help feeling a little guilty when facing Concubine Xiao now. She no longer dared to confront Concubine Xiao as unscrupulously as before.
Xiao Xixi kindly gave her a reminder because she had given her so much money.
"You've been plagued by bad people lately, so be careful."
Concubine Li just felt confused and didn't take these words to heart at all.
In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.
The weather is gradually getting warmer.
Baoqin couldn't hold back any longer and reminded again.
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince hasn't been to Qingge Palace for half a month. Are you really not worried at all?"
Xiao Xixi lazily asked back: "What are you worried about?"
"Of course I'm worried that the Crown Prince has forgotten you."
Xiao Xixi: "Don't worry, as long as the prince needs me, he will definitely think of me."
Baoqin sighed: "When I need you, I think of you. When I don't need you, I throw you aside. This is too real."
Xiao Xixi nodded: "People are so real."
Not only did Baoqin mention the prince's matter, but even Concubine Li mentioned it when she came to play cards.
"Why hasn't the prince come to see you recently? Could it be that you have fallen out of favor?"
Xiao Xixi casually played a card: "Maybe."
Concubine Li's heart moved. If Concubine Xiao fell out of favor, would she have a chance?
If it were any other time, Concubine Li would have immediately gone to the Crown Prince to show her affection, but now...
Let her finish this game of cards first!
After one round, play another round, and then another round...
By the time she came to her senses, it was already noon.
Concubine Li remembered her plan to win the emperor's favor, and quickly threw away the playing cards in her hand and ran away in a hurry.
She carried the carefully prepared chicken soup and ran to Minguang Palace to ask for an audience with the prince, but she didn't even see the prince.
The guard at the gate said, "The Crown Prince is not here, please go back, Your Majesty."
Concubine Li was unwilling to give up: "When will His Highness come back?"
The guard answered truthfully, "I don't know about that. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been going out early and coming back late every day recently. He is very busy. No one can be sure when he will be back."
Concubine Li could only return disappointed.
In Qingge Palace, Xiao Xixi had dinner, washed up and went to bed as usual.
When she was half asleep, she felt that there was suddenly someone beside her.
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes and found that the person lying next to her was the prince.
Luo Qinghan took her into his arms and kissed her forehead: "Xixi."
The voice was very soft and low, a little hoarse, and sounded a little tired.
Xiao Xixi muttered, "Why haven't I seen you lately?"
Luo Qinghan: "I've been busy with the Spring Examination recently."
No one knew what the emperor was thinking, but he suddenly selected the crown prince and Qin Lie as the chief examiners for this year's spring examination. The crown prince and Qin Lie were not only responsible for setting the questions, but also for supervising the examination.
Recently, because of this matter, the prince has been very busy, going out early and coming back late every day.
The person who works with him is Qin Lie.
Qin Lie was the elder brother of Queen Qin and also a cabinet minister.
This man is well-read in poetry and literature, and is a great scholar of our time, enjoying high prestige among scholars.
He has presided over three examinations and has extensive experience as an examiner and invigilator.
Precisely because of his experience, he always used this as an excuse to force the prince to make concessions when there were disagreements between the two sides.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, Luo Qinghan can't help but feel unhappy.
Today they disagreed again over the exam questions.
The two held their own opinions and were at a stalemate.
Qin Lie began to talk about his previous experience in presiding over the joint examination, implying that the prince was just a rookie, and since he was a rookie, he had to be obedient and not always think about causing trouble.
The prince had given in so many times before, but today he finally couldn't bear it anymore and didn't want to give in anymore.
The conflict was triggered.
The two sides had a quarrel and parted on bad terms.
When Luo Qinghan returned to the palace, it was already late at night and he was in a very bad mood.
It was precisely because of this that he came to Qingge Palace in the middle of the night.
He really didn't want to be alone and depressed.
In such a huge imperial palace, only Concubine Xiao's place is relatively quiet.
Xiao Xixi noticed that he seemed to be worried, so she took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything I can help you with? If so, just tell me, don't be polite with me."
Luo Qinghan whispered, "There is indeed something I need your help with."
Xiao Xixi thought to herself, he would only think of her when he needed her.
Xiao Xixi forced herself to cheer up: "What's the matter? Tell me."
Luo Qinghan: "I want you to kiss me."
Xiao Xixi thought she had heard wrongly.
She couldn't help but ask again: "What did you say?"
Luo Qinghan repeated it patiently.
"I'm very tired recently, I want you to kiss me."
Xiao Xixi didn’t understand what the logical relationship was between the two?
She asked in confusion: "If I kiss you, will you forget your fatigue?"
Luo Qinghan: "Yes."
Xiao Xixi: "I am not some panacea, how could I have such an effect?"
Luo Qinghan: "If I say it works, then it works."
Xiao Xixi was speechless.
Okay, you are the prince, you have the final say.
Xiao Xixi placed her hands on his chest, propped up her upper body, leaned over, and kissed him on the lips.
Just as she was about to step back, the prince held the back of her head.
The prince kissed her lips without allowing her to be rejected.
With the experience from last time, the prince kissed more skillfully this time. He kissed Xiao Xixi until she felt dizzy, her hands and feet became weak, and she even forgot to push him away.
The only sounds in the room were the two people's breathing.
This time the kiss lasted particularly long.
When he stepped back, Xiao Xixi felt her lips were burning, they must be swollen.
She wiped her lips with her sleeve and muttered quietly.
"This is my mouth, not a sausage. Do you really need to chew and suck it?"
