Chapter 87: Little Squirrel
When Xiao Xixi ran out again, he found that Concubine Bai and Liu Wu were gone.
She thought to herself that it was just right to leave, and there was no need for an extra portion of the roast duck to Concubine Bai.
Xiao Xixi said happily: "Baoqin, I just saw it, the roast duck is ready, can you eat it now?" ”
"Wait a minute, slave maid go and get ready."
Bao Qin went to work in the kitchen.
Soon she brought out the sliced roast duck, which was served with many side dishes, sauces and crepes in addition to the duck.
This is what Xiao Xixi specially requested, she first picked up a small pancake, picked up a piece of roast duck meat and put it on it, then sandwiched some side dishes, brushed with sauce, and finally rolled up the pancake.
She opened her mouth to eat, when she caught a glimpse of the prince sitting across the table quietly watching her.
Xiao Xixi could only close his mouth and reluctantly handed over the freshly wrapped duck meat rolls.
"Your Highness to taste?"
Luo Qinghan reached out and took the duck meat roll.
It was the first time he had eaten duck meat in such a strange way.
He tried to take a small bite.
Xiao Xixi asked expectantly, "Is it delicious?" ”
Luo Qinghan slowly finished eating the duck meat roll in his hand, and then said, "It's okay." ”
It seems that every time I ask him if it tastes good, he answers this way.
Xiao Xixi couldn't tell whether he liked to eat or didn't like it for a while.
She asked tentatively, "Do you still want it?" ”
Luo Qinghan bowed his head.
Xiao Xixi resigned herself to her fate and continued to roll the duck meat, and handed it to him when it was finished.
After rolling three duck meat rolls for Luo Qinghan in a row, he finally said he didn't want to.
Xiao Xixi happily picked up the chopsticks and rolled himself an oversized duck meat roll.
She held the duck roll in both hands, opened her mouth wide, and took a bite of it.
His mouth was stuffed with food, and his cheeks bulged out.
As she chewed, her bulging cheeks moved.
Luo Qinghan looked at her and couldn't help but think of the squirrel he raised when he was a child.
He waved his hand back from the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting next to him.
The two of them were the only ones left in the room.
Luo Qinghan said casually.
"Lone once had a squirrel, and you looked like it."
The same gluttony, the same cuteness.
Xiao Xixi asked while eating, and her voice was a little vague: "Your Highness will also have pets." ”
Luo Qinghan had never told anyone about these things, not because he didn't want to say it, but because he couldn't find someone to talk to.
At this time, he was in a relaxed mood, and felt that it was okay to say something, so he said.
"That was when Lone was six years old, Lone picked up a squirrel in the imperial garden, and I don't know how it ran into the palace, and it was injured, and Lone relented when he was old, so he took it back to raise."
At that time, Luo Qinghan was still young and could not live independently, so he lived in the Jiaofang Palace with Queen Qin.
Luo Qinghan said slowly: "The queen mother doesn't like small animals, and she was afraid that she would find the little squirrel, so she hid the little squirrel in her house." Lone usually has to go to Taixue to attend classes, and he can't stay in the house all the time, so he asks Chang Xi to help keep an eye on it, so as not to let it run out and be discovered. ”
Xiao Xixi swallowed the food in his mouth and asked curiously, "And then?" ”
"One day Lone came back from Taixue and was told that the little squirrel was dead, and it was the queen mother who made it fall to death, and Lone was punished by the queen mother for this."
Xiao Xixi's eating action was paused.
She cautiously asked, "Have you been beaten?" ”
Luo Qinghan: "No, the queen mother has never beaten Lone, she just let Lone kneel in the courtyard for a whole night." ”
Xiao Xi was stunned.
Is it so ruthless?!
