The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day

  Chapter 288 No one before, no one afterwards

  Chen Liangyuan broke up because of the quarrel with Concubine Xiao Fang last time. At this moment, she was a little uncomfortable seeing Concubine Xiao Fang.

  Yao Zhaoxun saw the brocade box and fruit basket in Baoqin's hand, and asked curiously: "Is the empress also here to give the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to His Royal Highness?"

  Xiao Xixi nodded and said yes.

  Yao Zhaoxun: "We are also here to give the Mid-Autumn Festival gift to His Highness. Right now, His Highness is discussing matters with people in Mingguang Palace.

  Xiao Xixi felt that waiting a while was not a big deal, so he waited here with everyone.

  Since Yao Zhaoxun can be selected as a concubine in the East Palace, she is naturally good in appearance, but she has a problem with her, that is, she loves gossip and wants to talk to people when she is bored.

  Seeing that Concubine Xiao Fang was quite good at talking, she tried to chat with her.

   "Why don't you go back to your mother's house today?"

  Xiao Xixi was taken aback: "What are you going to do when you return to your natal home?"

  Yao Zhaoxun was a little surprised: "Don’t you know the empress? According to the rules of our palace, every year on the Mid-Autumn Festival, concubines with third grade or above are eligible to return to their natal family and reunite with their family members for the festival."

  Xiao Xixi suddenly said, "So there is such a thing."

  No wonder the other side concubines and Liangdi are not here, and their feelings are all going home to reunite.

  Xiao Xixi asked curiously: "Isn’t there still a Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the palace tonight? They have all returned to their parents’ home, what about the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet in the evening?"

  Yao Zhaoxun: "They will return to the palace before the sun sets, and will not delay the Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet."

  Xiao Xixi nodded, indicating that she understood.

  She only entered the palace last winter, so she is not very clear about these things.

  Yao Zhaoxun reminded: “If the concubine on the side wants to go home for the holidays, it’s still too late to leave the palace.”

  Xiao Xixi smiled: "No, it's good for me to spend the festival in the palace."

  The people at General Zhongmu's mansion were afraid to avoid her. If she went home for the holidays, she might scare everyone in the family to death, so she shouldn't go back and add to the traffic.

  Yao Zhaoxun was particularly curious in her heart. She did not understand why Concubine Xiao Fang did not want to go back to her family for the holidays.

  She remembered that Concubine Xiao’s natal family was General Zhongmu’s mansion, and it took only half an hour to take a carriage from the palace to the General’s mansion. Concubine Xiao Bianxi was reluctant to return to her natal family. Could it be that she had some suspicion with her family?

  Yao Zhaoxun is very curious and has a strong brain supplement ability.

  She began to fantasize about the grievances between Concubine Xiao and her family.

  Xiao Xixi noticed that Yao Zhaoxun’s gaze towards him became more and more weird, and couldn’t help asking: "What's the matter with you?"

   Yao Zhaoxun shook his head quickly: "Nothing."

  Not long after, Dong Mingchun and two other officials of the Criminal Ministry walked out of Mingguang Palace.

  When Dong Mingchun saw Concubine Xiao Fang, he stopped and bowed his hands in a salute.

  As soon as they walked with their front feet, Father Chang came out with his hind feet.

  He originally came to Xuan's concubine and went in. When he saw Concubine Xiao, he was surprised.

   "When did the empress come? Why don't people pass it through? Please come in quickly."

  Xiao Xixi, as the concubine with the highest points on the court, was naturally the first to walk into the Mingguang Palace.

  Luo Qinghan sat behind the book case, with a pile of files piled up in front of him. He was reading the files in his hand, and when he heard footsteps, he raised his head slightly and found that the person was Concubine Xiao.

  He put down the file in his hand and asked: "Why are you here?"

  Xiao Xixi: "My concubine is here to give you gifts."

  She took the brocade box and fruit basket from Baoqin and put them on the small table next to them.

  "This is a moon cake made by Baoqin, please try it."

  Luo Qinghan does not like to eat sweets, and naturally has no interest in moon cakes.

  At this time, Chen Liangyuan, Zhao Meiren, Yao Zhaoxun and other low-ranking concubines also walked in, and they all saluted the prince.

  Luo Qinghan didn't mean to talk to them more, he only briefly dealt with a few sentences, and let them send them out.

  Before they left, they handed the specially prepared Mid-Autumn Festival ceremony to the hands of Grandpa Chang.

  It’s obviously not the first time that Father Chang has faced this kind of thing. He skillfully packed up these gifts, had them move out, and distributed them to the court ladies and eunuchs below.

  The prince does not like to eat sweets, these mooncakes can only be left to wait for them to break, it is too wasteful, it is better to reward the people below.

  Waiting for Father Chang to finish all these things, he turned around and saw Baoqin standing under the corridor smiling at him.

  Grandpa Chang stepped forward: "Girl Baoqin came out too?"

   "His Royal Highness and the empress are talking inside, it's too horrible for me to stand there," Baoqin took out a brocade box, "This is the moon cake I made. I hope you don't dislike it."

  Father Chang took the brocade box and smiled and said thank you.

  Inside the house.

  Xiao Xixi used a knife to cut the egg yolk and lotus paste mooncake in front of him into several pieces. She dug out the egg yolk inside and put it into her mouth, and then she fed the remaining lotus paste mooncake to the Prince's mouth.

   "His Royal Highness, taste this moon cake, it's quite delicious."

  Luo Qinghan looked at her blankly: "You ate all the egg yolks, and deliberately let the lone eat the rest of you?"

  Xiao Xixi’s expression is very innocent: "No, my concubine thinks that the egg yolk is not delicious, so I specially ate it for you."

   "So, lonely still have to thank you?"

  Xiao Xixi smiled: "Thank you, it's not necessary. If you want to eat egg yolk lotus paste moon cakes in the future, you can ask your concubine to help you eat the egg yolk."

  Luo Qinghan felt that this woman was really getting bolder.

  He casually took a bite of the mooncake and said he didn't want to eat it anymore.

  This thing is too sweet, and it's greasy to eat.

  Xiao Xixi happily stuffed the remaining lotus seed paste mooncake into her mouth.

  Luo Qinghan picked up the tea cup, and the tea dilutes the sweetness in his mouth.

   He looked at Xiao Xixi as he was immersed in eating, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to go back to General Zhongmu's mansion for the holidays?"

  Xiao Xixi was still eating mooncakes in her mouth, and her voice was a bit vague.

   "I won't go back, I will spend the festival with His Royal Highness in the palace."

  Luo Qinghan used his fingers to help her wipe off the mooncake crumbs on the corners of her mouth, and said lightly: "What's the point of spending time with loneliness?"

  Xiao Xixi swallowed the mooncake in her mouth: “Of course it’s interesting. His Royal Highness is so spicy for her concubine. Not only does she take her to the night market, she also buys candied gourds for her to eat. Concubine likes to stay with her.”

   "Then if someone buys you candied haws, would you also think other people are good?"

  Xiao Xixi decisively shook her head: "Of course not. Even if others are willing to buy candied haws for their concubine, they will not allow their concubine to raise pigs and grow vegetables in the palace. No one else can compare to you!"

  Luo Qinghan: "..."

  Yes, which prince would be so absurd?

  He is truly unprecedented, and there is no one in the future!

  At noon, Xiao Xixi stayed in Mingguang Palace to have a meal with the Prince.

  The imperial dining room delivered twenty dishes, and a large table was filled.

  Xiao Xixi saw so many delicious foods, I just thought this trip was a great value!

  She took a sip of the old duck soup and praised sincerely.

   "It's so delicious!"

  After lunch, she touched her swollen belly and asked expectantly: "His Royal Highness, can my concubine come to you for a meal in the future?"
