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

Baoqin calls Qingsong to ask him where the prince is now?

Then she got into the kitchenette and went to work.

Soon Qingsong came back.

"Tell your mother that your Highness the crown prince has just come to the court and is now in the Mingguang palace."

Xiao Xi said she knew.

Baoqin made Furong cake, Babao Lily and yam cake today. She was afraid that she would be bored when she ate the cake. She also specially prepared a cup of tremella lotus seed soup.

She put the food into a box one by one and sent it to concubine Xiao.

"Empress, if your highness asks, you will say that you made the food yourself..." Baoqin paused here. She remembered the performance of concubine Xiao when she delivered the soup last time. Even if she sent the script to concubine Xiao, concubine Xiao would not perform according to the script.

So Baoqin changed her mouth: "you can say what you want. Please play freely."

Xiao Xixi smiled and said yes, she likes to play freely most.

She took the food box and sat in the sedan chair. Baoqin followed her on foot.

The party came to Mingguang palace.

Father-in-law Chang learned that concubine Xiao was coming and came out to meet her in person.

He smiled and said, "Why are you here today?"

Xiao Xi smiled and said, "I'll send some cakes to the crown prince. I don't know if it's convenient for Fang to go in?"

"Your Highness the prince has just finished the discussion. Please follow the slave."

Xiao Xixi followed father-in-law Chang to Mingguang palace.

Just then, Dong Mingchun, the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment, came out of it.

The two sides met face to face.

Dong Mingchun stopped and saluted.

"Wei Chen said hello to his mother."

Xiao Xi caught a glimpse of his face and followed his footsteps.

Dong Mingchun is in his forties this year. He is a little fat, but because he is from an aristocratic family and wears official clothes, he looks very magnanimous.

To outsiders, he is a middle-aged uncle with a little temperament.

Only Xiao Xi could clearly see that Dong Mingchun's seal hall was blackened, and there was a bit of red evil spirit between his eyebrows. It was obvious that he was about to face a bloody disaster.

When he found that concubine Xiao didn't move, father-in-law Chang wondered, "why doesn't the empress leave?"

Xiao Xi took back her eyes: "nothing, let's go."

She walked past Dong Mingchun without squinting.

After walking out of Mingguang palace, Dong Mingchun sighed and showed a sad face.

Xiao Xi walked into the room and saw the prince reading the files.

In order not to disturb their world, father-in-law Chang and Baoqin retreated wisely.

The two stood in the corridor chatting quietly.

Baoqin asked, "what do you think of the pastry you gave you last time? Does it still suit your taste?"

Grandpa Chang smiled and said, "it's delicious."

"I'll make some more for you later."

"That's Lao Baoqin."

in the house.

Luo QingHan put down the file, looked at the woman sitting opposite and asked calmly.

"Why are you here?"

"I heard you've been busy recently. I'm afraid you've been busy. I specially sent you some cakes. Have a try." Xiao Xixi brought out the cakes and desserts in the food box and placed them between the two.

Luo QingHan didn't move. He still looked at Xiao Xi and asked.

"If you have nothing to offer, stop it. What's your intention?"

Xiao Xi blinked: "what can I do? I'm worried about you. I came to see you. Why do you still doubt me?"

Luo QingHan thought: "did Baoqin ask you to come? Did she use some food as bait to attract you to sell yourself in front of Gu?"

Xiao Xixi was quite surprised. Unexpectedly, the crown prince knew the routine of Baoqin.

She stood up, bypassed the square table, sat down next to the prince and smiled.

"Your Highness really wants more. I just came to see you."

Luo QingHan is still skeptical.

Xiao Xixi picked up a piece of yam crisp with chopsticks and fed it to the prince's mouth.

"Try it. It's delicious."

Luo QingHan couldn't stand her speaking in this tone. Her eyebrows were slightly wrinkled and seemed unhappy, but her thin lips opened uncontrollably and gently bit off a small piece of yam crisp.

Xiao Xi asked, "is it delicious?"

"Not bad."

"Would you like some more?"

Luo QingHan said no.

Xiao Xixi stuffed the remaining half of yam cake into his mouth. His movements were very skilled and natural.

Luo QingHan is used to it.

Xiao Xi scooped out a tremella lotus seed soup and put it in front of the prince.

Luo QingHan took two drinks.

Baoqin knows that the prince doesn't like too sweet food, so she deliberately puts less sugar, so the tremella lotus seed soup tastes a little light, but it just suits the prince's taste.

Xiao Xi selfishly stuffed a piece of Hibiscus cake into her mouth and asked unintentionally.

"Who is the man who left here just now?"

Luo QingHan: "do you mean Dong Mingchun? He is the Minister of justice of the Ministry of punishment. What do you ask him to do?"

Xiao Xixi answered truthfully, "I happened to meet him just now and found that he was about to suffer a bloody disaster. If he is still useful to you, you'd better send someone to follow him and don't let him be killed."

Luo QingHan looked slightly changed.

He is now in charge of the Ministry of punishment. As the Minister of punishment, Dong Mingchun naturally became a member of his school.

Although Dong Mingchun is tactful and experienced, and may not have much loyalty to him, his ability to handle affairs is indeed very good. He has accumulated deep prestige in the Ministry of punishment over the years. If he is allowed to be killed, the Ministry of punishment will be in chaos, which is by no means a good thing for the crown prince.

He remembered that when he was discussing with Dong Mingchun just now, Dong Mingchun seemed to have something to say to him, but when he asked, Dong Mingchun said he had nothing to say.

At that time, Luo QingHan thought he was wrong, but Dong Mingchun refused to say it clearly, and Luo QingHan couldn't force others to say it.

At present, hearing Xiao Xi's words, Luo QingHan hardly hesitated and called Zhao Xian.

"You choose some vigorous Yu Linwei to quietly keep up with Dong Mingchun and secretly protect his safety."

Zhao Xian didn't know why the prince suddenly made such arrangements, but he didn't ask much and replied respectfully.

"I will obey!"

Luo QingHan hesitated and handed over a amulet.

"If you take this close to your body, it may be useful."

Zhao Xian took the amulet with both hands: "thank you, your highness."

He carefully put away the amulet and turned away from Mingguang palace.

Today, after leaving the palace, Dong Mingchun went directly to the Ministry of punishment. He stayed for most of the day. He didn't come out of the Ministry of punishment until the sun set.

He went straight home in his carriage.

But before long, Dong Mingchun left his house in a hurry and went out of the city by carriage from Xuanwu Gate.

It's more than ten miles away.

It soon darkened.

Dong Mingchun looked out of the window. When he saw an octagonal pavilion on the side of the road, he hurried to stop.

The carriage stopped immediately.

Dong Mingchun got out of the car. He took the lantern from the coachman and said, "wait here. I'll go back."
