Xiao Xi was dreaming that she was eating ice cream. A table full of ice cream of various flavors was set up.

She was eating happily when she suddenly heard someone calling her name.

Xiao Xi immediately woke up from her dream.

Open your eyes and there's no ice cream.

At this time, there was only a cold man in front of her.

Xiao Xi was stunned: "Your Highness!"

She quickly stood up holding the wall and saluted the prince.

Because she just woke up, her brain was not very clear, and the salute movement showed a bit of clumsy meaning, which looked even more stupid.

Luo QingHan looked at her deeply and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?"

"Didn't you ask someone to send me a basket of mulberries before? I ate some, and the rest was made into jam by Baoqin. This jam is delicious. It can be eaten with double skin milk and seasoned in milk tea. I think it tastes very good, so I specially sent you a can."

As she spoke, she raised the pottery pot in her hand like a treasure.

Luo QingHan took the pot and handed it to father-in-law Chang.

Luo QingHan took Xiao Xi's hand and found her fingers a little cold. He asked, "have you been waiting here for a long time?"

"I came to you after dinner. Unfortunately, you weren't here. Ink painting said you were out on business. I don't know when I can come back. I had to wait for you here for almost two hours!"

Luo QingHan smiled: "so you fell asleep?"

Xiao Xi didn't look embarrassed at all, and frankly admitted.

"Waiting for someone is really boring. I fell asleep accidentally."

Luo QingHan took her hand and walked inside. "You should stay in the house. It's too cold outside."

Xiao Xixi: "it's OK. I think it's cool outside."

"Why are you alone outside the door and Baoqin is not with you?"

"She was there just now. She said she was afraid that my concubine might catch a cold. She went inside to get a blanket."

As soon as Xiao Xi's words were finished, Baoqin hurried out with a blanket in her arms.

She was surprised to see the prince and concubine Xiao coming with her. She quickly stopped and saluted the prince.

Luo QingHan said faintly, "don't let concubine Xiao stay outside alone in the future."

Although there are bodyguards at the door of Linde hall, theoretically nothing should happen, but what if? There are too many dangers in this palace. It's easy to fall into the pit if you're not careful.

Baoqin quickly knelt down and confessed: "it's the negligence of the slave and maid. The slave and maid deserve to die."

Luo QingHan: "it's unintentional to read you. It's time to kneel and burn incense."

Xiao Xixi wants to plead for Baoqin. Baoqin has already spoken before she speaks out.

"Thank you, your highness!"

Luo QingHan led Xiao Xi away.

Xiao Xixi couldn't help looking back. She saw Baoqin winking and motioned her not to plead with the crown prince.

It's just a time to kneel and burn incense. It's nothing at all.

It's more like a reminder.

The prince reminded Baoqin to be more cautious.

At the same time, the prince is also telling others that he attaches great importance to concubine Xiao. There is no room for any mistake about concubine Xiao.

Baoqin knows this very well and kneels willingly.

Xiao Xi followed the prince into the bedroom.

When there was no one around, Xiao Xi couldn't help asking for love.

"Your Highness, can you spare the Baoqin?"

Luo QingHan didn't answer, but stretched out his arms: "serve the orphan to bathe and change clothes."

Xiao Xixi came forward to help him undress and undress, and whispered, "I'm an adult, and I don't need Baoqin to stare at me all the time."

Luo QingHan looked down at her and said nothing.

His clothes were faded one by one.

When there was only the last pair of trousers left, Luo QingHan pressed her hand and whispered, "OK, go out."

Xiao Xixi also wanted to see the Baoqin, so he nodded: "that concubine is leaving."

After taking her out, Luo QingHan took off his pants and exposed large bruises on his knees and legs.

This is the injury he knelt out in the side hall of Weiyang palace just now.

He sat in the tub with pain, closed his eyes and breathed out a long breath.

Xiao Xi went to find Baoqin.

Baoqin was surprised: "aren't you waiting on the prince? Why did you run out?"

Xiao Xixi: "I'm worried about you."

"I'm fine. The time of burning incense will soon pass. Go back quickly. If the crown prince knows you're looking for me, he may punish me more severely."

Xiao Xi was relieved to see that she looked in good spirits.

"Then I'll go back first."

Baoqin urged, "go quickly."

Xiao Xixi returned to the door of the bedroom hall and saw father-in-law Chang still waiting outside the door. She asked, "hasn't your highness finished bathing?"

Grandpa Chang nodded and said yes.

Xiao Xi plans to wait outside until the prince has finished bathing.

Grandpa Chang looked at the closed door and said in a low voice.

"Your Highness may be in a bad mood tonight."

Xiao Xi was surprised: "what's the matter, your highness?"

As a slave, father-in-law Chang couldn't talk much about things between the prince and the emperor. He said vaguely.

"Your Highness has been very busy in recent days and encountered a lot of bad things. Your Highness has always liked you very much. Please help persuade him. Maybe you can make his highness feel better."

Xiao Xixi seemed to understand: "Oh."

The prince's voice came from the room.

"Chang Xi."

Father Chang quickly answered, "here!"

He took some small eunuchs in, took out the used bath soup, poured it out, and then wiped off the water stains splashed on the floor.

When Xiao Xixi walked into the room, he saw that the prince had put on his bedroom clothes and was sitting on the edge of his bed to wipe his sword.

The sword in his hand was the annihilation of the emperor's reward.

His expression was very focused. His fingers held the cloth towel and wiped the blade again and again.

The sharp and bright sword reflected his dark pupil.

Father Chang retired with the eunuchs.

Only Xiao Xi and the prince were left in the house.

The prince noticed Xiao Xi standing not far away. He put down his sword and asked, "what are you doing there? Come here."

Xiao Xixi walked over and sat down beside him. His eyes fell on the sword in his hand and asked tentatively.

"Does your highness like this sword very much?"

Luo QingHan said faintly, "it's OK."

Xiao Xixi: "look at you, you should cherish this sword."

Luo QingHan: "what Gu cherishes is not the sword, but the meaning of the sword."

Xiao Xixi asked like a pupil, "what's the meaning of this sword?"

"It used to be a sword worn by the emperor Taizu. It followed the emperor Taizu in the South and North, witnessed countless important histories, and won the heads of many enemies. It is not only a symbol of courage, but also the inheritance of faith."
