Chapter 9: The Women of the East Palace
Luo Qinghan's fingertips gently rubbed the talisman, and Xiao Xixi's bright smiling face appeared in his mind.
He put the amulet in the purse he carried with him.
"What is Xiao Liangdi doing this day?"
Father-in-law Chang replied truthfully: "She moved back to the Qingge Hall this morning, and then she stayed in the Qingge Hall and never came out again." By the way, in the afternoon, Concubine Bai sent someone to send an invitation to Xiao Liangdi, wanting to invite her to the tea party tomorrow afternoon. ”
Luo Qinghan showed a thoughtful expression.
Father-in-law Chang thought that the prince would go to the Qingge Hall tonight to spend the night.
However, Luo Qinghan didn't say anything and went to the study again.
In the afternoon of the next day, Xiao Xixi took Baoqin to Cuimingxuan.
On the way, Baoqin was like an old mother who sent her silly girl to school, nagging constantly.
"You wait to see Concubine Baifang, your attitude must be better, don't say anything that shouldn't be said, if what the other party says makes you unhappy, just smile, don't talk back, just pretend to be stupid and confused. After all, Concubine Bai is a concubine, her grade is higher than yours, and her father is the prince's concubine, and the prince is very polite to her, even if you don't please her, try not to offend her. ”
Xiao Xixi yawned: "I know." ”
In front is Cui Ming Xuan.
Bao Qin deliberately helped Xiao Xixi straighten out her skirt and hair, making sure that she didn't look flawed now, so she made an OK gesture.
This gesture was made by Xiao Xixi to Baoqin before, and Baoqin found it interesting and learned it.
There were already quite a few people sitting in Cui Ming Xuan.
Not only Concubine Bai, but Concubine Li and Xu Liangdi, Chen Liangyuan, Zhao Meiren and others also came.
More than a dozen concubines in the backyard of the East Palace have almost arrived.
They knelt on the cushions in order of rank, and on the low table in front of them were all kinds of melons and fruits and refreshments.
Xiao Xixi took Baoqin forward and bowed his knees.
Concubine Bai was born into a scholarly family, and she was born beautiful and elegant, but unfortunately she was not in good health, and she was going to have an illness in three days, so that the whole person had a weak willow temperament.
It is precisely because of this feeling of weakness and helplessness that it is easier to stimulate the desire of male animals to protect.
She smiled and said to Xiao Xixi.
"Sister sit down."
Xiao Xixi walked to the vacant seat next to him and sat down, and his eyes were immediately attracted by the melon and fruit refreshments in front of him.
These things look delicious.
Grunt~
Swallow your saliva quietly.
Seeing her staring at the melons and fruits and refreshments on the table, Concubine Bai said with a smile: "These are the snacks I prepared for the sisters, you all try them and see if they are delicious?" ”
Xiao Xixi immediately picked up a piece of shortbread, put it in his mouth and ate it.
She praised from the bottom of her heart: "It's delicious! ”
Baoqin, who was waiting next to her, sighed.
What's not good for you?
The others complimented the refreshments, and the conversation slid off to something else.
As the only woman here who can sit on an equal footing with Concubine Bai, Concubine Li has many fewer scruples when speaking than others, and her posture is more casual and natural.
"I heard that Sister Bai was sick again yesterday, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince go to see you?"
When the others heard this, they were all stunned.
Concubine Bai didn't seem to hear the mockery in these words, and still smiled softly: "I'm just a little uncomfortable, just sleep well, where do you need His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to run in person?" ”
Chen Liangyuan was very close to Concubine Bai on weekdays, and immediately answered when she heard the words.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very busy every day, how can he run to the backyard all day long, not only Sister Bai, but we sisters have not seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for a long time."
She was obviously looking for Concubine Bai to go down the stairs when she said this.
