Chapter 500: This feeling is so painful just thinking about it!
Xiao Xixi yawned and stood up with Baoqin's help.
Mo Hua respectfully escorted the person out of the Linde Hall.
After returning to Qingge Palace, Baoqin reheated the cold chicken soup.
Xiao Xixi drank up all the chicken soup in one breath.
The chicken soup is fragrant and flavorful, and the chicken is soft and tasty, very delicious.
Baoqin sighed, "It's such a pity tonight."
Concubine Xiao finally took the initiative, but she didn't even get to see the prince.
Xiao Xixi agreed: "It's a pity indeed!"
The prince didn’t even get to eat such delicious chicken soup. What a pity!
Baoqin comforted her, "It's okay, let's go again tomorrow. If we go a few more times, we'll always be able to run into the prince."
Xiao Xixi asked expectantly, "What are you going to cook for the prince tomorrow?"
Baoqin: "Let's make some fish soup."
Xiao Xixi's eyes lit up: "Okay, okay!"
Baoqin: “…”
She prepared food for the Crown Prince, why was Concubine Xiao so excited?
But on second thought, Baoqin felt relieved. She had been worried that Concubine Xiao would be disappointed and sad because she didn't meet the prince. Now it seemed that Concubine Xiao was in a good mood.
The next morning.
Baoqin estimated the time, took the food box, and went out with Concubine Xiao.
They had just walked out of Qingge Hall when they ran into Yao Zhaoxun walking towards them.
Yao Zhaoxun bowed first, then asked curiously, "Where are you going, sister?"
Xiao Xixi: "I'm going to find the prince."
Hearing this, Yao Zhaoxun's expression became strange: "Sister, it's better to go later."
Xiao Xixi asked: "Why?"
Yao Zhaoxun once again showed the special expression of a spectator, and spoke in a mysterious yet excited tone.
"Actually, I came to you just to tell you this. I heard that the prince went to Changle Palace early this morning."
Xiao Xixi was confused: "Isn't it normal for the prince to go to Changle Palace to pay respects to the Queen Mother?"
"The prince didn't just go to pay his respects. I heard that when he left Changle Palace, he also took Xie Tianxian with him. Right now, the two of them are talking in Cuimingxuan. Many people have seen it."
Xiao Xixi was stunned for a moment before she remembered who Xie Tianxian was.
She looked surprised: "Are you saying that Xie Chuxue was brought to the East Palace by the prince?"
Yao Zhaoxun nodded and said yes.
Baoqin, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but become anxious when she heard this.
Could it be that the prince has taken a fancy to Xie Chuxue?
Although Baoqin had never met Xie Chuxue directly, she knew from the things she had heard that this woman was definitely not a simple person. If Xie Chuxue really hooked up with the prince, she would definitely become a strong rival of Concubine Xiao in the future!
But because Yao Zhaoxun, an outsider, was standing in front of her, some things were difficult to say. Baoqin could only suppress her anxiety and remain silent.
Yao Zhaoxun invited enthusiastically, "Sister, do you want to go to Cui Ming Xuan with me?"
Xiao Xixi asked back: "What are you looking at?"
"Of course, I want to see what that Xie Tianxian looks like. I am really curious about how beautiful she is to be able to make the King of England, the Second Prince, and the Crown Prince all so bewildered."
Xiao Xixi had met Xie Chuxue several times and was not curious about her appearance. What she was more concerned about now was the prince.
The prince had previously made it clear that he had no such intentions towards Xie Chuxue, but now he has brought her to the Eastern Palace. What is he trying to do?
Could it be that he suddenly realized the beauty of Xie Chuxue?
But based on Xiao Xixi's understanding of this big pig's hoof, beauty has no appeal to him at all.
Moreover, he knew very well how complicated the relationships behind Xie Chuxue were. It was impossible for him to get involved with such a deep-minded woman with bad intentions.
Xiao Xixi declined Yao Zhaoxun's invitation.
Yao Zhaoxun was not disappointed either. She knew that Concubine Xiao never liked to get involved in such matters. After saying goodbye to Concubine Xiao, she ran happily to Cuimingxuan, intending to go and see what was going on.
Since the prince is busy now, the fish soup definitely cannot be delivered.
Xiao Xixi and Baoqin returned to Qingge Palace.
Xiao Xixi couldn't wait to open the food box and take out the fish soup inside.
The white fish soup tastes very delicious.
She was eating the fish soup happily and didn't notice that Baoqin's eyes were becoming more and more sad.
Baoqin really felt sorry for Concubine Xiao.
Concubine Xiao went to see the prince yesterday and waited for him for a long time, but didn't even see his shadow. Today, she went to bring fish soup to the prince, but was told that the prince was dating another woman.
This feeling is so painful just thinking about it!
But Concubine Xiao acted as if nothing had happened and continued to drink the fish soup happily.
It was obvious that she swallowed all the bitterness in her heart along with the fish soup!
The more Baoqin thought about it, the sadder she became, and her eyes became red.
After Xiao Xixi finished drinking the fish soup, she licked her lips with satisfaction. When she looked up, she was shocked to see Baoqin crying.
"Why are you crying? I just drank some fish soup. The prince doesn't want to drink it anyway, so it's a waste to leave it there. If you don't want me to drink it, then just say so. There's really no need to cry!"
Baoqin wiped her eyes and said, "It's okay. I just got some sand in my eyes. What else do you want to eat? I will make it for you as long as I can make it."
Xiao Xixi was very surprised: "Really? Then I want to eat bamboo tube rice!"
Baoqin: "Okay, I'll do it for you right away."
Her silly daughter is already so miserable, she must make sure she eats and drinks well!
There was a bamboo forest behind them. Baoqin asked someone to cut down a bamboo, cut it into pieces, cleaned it, and washed the rice...
After a while, the aroma of bamboo tube rice wafted from the small kitchen.
All the gluttony in Xiao Xixi's stomach was seduced out.
She groped her way to the kitchen door, put her paws on the door frame, and looked inside.
Baoqin turned around and saw her eager look, and said with a smile: "Madam, the bamboo tube rice is not ready yet, please don't be anxious."
Xiao Xixi took a deep breath and said, "I'm not in a hurry. I just want to smell it."
After waiting for a long time, the bamboo tube rice was finally ready. Xiao Xixi looked at the bamboo tube rice in front of her with a rich fragrance, her mouth watering. She picked up the chopsticks and prepared to eat, when she suddenly heard someone shouting outside.
"The prince has arrived!"
Xiao Xixi: “…”
Why did you come at this critical moment? !
This guy's timing is so accurate!
Baoqin urged excitedly, "Your Highness, the prince is coming, please go and greet him!"
She originally thought that the prince had been seduced by Xie Chuxue, but she didn't expect the prince to turn around and come to Qingge Palace again. It seems that the person the prince likes most in his heart is still Concubine Xiao.
Xiao Xixi put down her chopsticks reluctantly.
She had just reached the door when she saw the prince.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
