Chapter 68 Singing
In Qingge Hall, Xiao Xixi sat cross-legged on a cushion, her cheek supported by her right hand, her eyelids drooping little by little.
Baoqin stood at the door, stretched her neck to look outside, and muttered softly.
"Why hasn't His Royal Highness arrived yet? Is there something delaying him?"
She waited for a while, but still the prince's carriage did not arrive.
She turned her head to look at Xiao Liangdi, but saw that Xiao Liangdi's eyelids were completely closed.
The master is actually dozing off!
It was already dark and the prince hadn't shown up yet, but her master was not in a hurry and could even sleep?
How big is this heart?!
Baoqin walked over with a bitter face, waiting angrily for the face of her master who was sleeping soundly. She wanted to wake her up, but in the end she couldn't bear it and turned away angrily.
After a while, Baoqin came back with a blanket in her hands.
She gently covered Xiao Liangdi with the blanket.
Although it is late summer and the temperature is not low, it is still a bit chilly at night. It would be bad if you catch a cold.
Xiao Xixi's eyelashes trembled.
She opened her eyes and sat up a little, her mind still in a half-asleep state.
It took her a while to realize where she was.
She rubbed her eyes and asked in a muffled voice, "What time is it now?"
Baoqin said, "It's already the hour of Xu."
"Oh, it's already seven o'clock..."
Baoqin was full of questions: "What did you say?"
"Nothing," Xiao Xixi covered her stomach and lay on the table like a pool of melted ice cream, "I'm so hungry, when can I have dinner?"
Baoqin felt so distressed that she coaxed him softly, "Wait a little longer, the Crown Prince should be here soon."
Xiao Xixi groaned: "The prince didn't say he would come to Qingge Palace tonight, what if he doesn't come?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The prince has been staying overnight in our Qingge Palace these past few days, and he has also had his dinner here. Logically, he should have come tonight. Perhaps something has delayed him. Why don't I ask someone to find out?"
Xiao Xixi was so hungry that she said weakly, "Go quickly and come back soon."
"Yes."
Baoqin turned and walked out, calling a clever little eunuch.
"Qingsong, go find out where the Crown Prince is right now and whether he will come to Qingge Palace tonight?"
Qingsong agreed readily and trotted out of Qingge Hall.
He had not run far when he saw the prince's carriage. He was about to step forward to pay his respects when he suddenly heard a woman's singing not far away.
He couldn't help but stop.
Not only Qingsong, but Luo Qinghan who was not far away also heard the song.
The tune of the song was gentle and melodious, and the lyrics were not the common Shengjing elegant language, but the dialect of Chenliu County. It sounded thin and soft, with a unique gentle rhythm.
Luo Qinghan couldn't help but listen attentively.
He had heard his mother sing this tune when she was still alive.
He was too young at the time and couldn't remember the lyrics, he just vaguely remembered the tune.
He had never heard this kind of tune again since his mother passed away.
Thinking of his deceased mother, Luo Qinghan had a myriad of thoughts in his mind. He got off the carriage and walked slowly towards the direction where the singing came from.
Seeing this, Qingsong in the distance thought to himself that something was wrong. It must be some vixen singing to seduce the prince.
Judging from the prince's expression, he must have taken the bait.
Qingsong hesitated for a long time, but decided to follow quietly and take a look.
He needs to know which vixen is singing?
