Chapter 10

Lady Li chuckled, "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is so busy, why did he still have time to visit the Cold Fragrance Pavilion the night before last?"

After saying this, she deliberately glanced at Xiao Xixi.

Xiao Xixi was engrossed in eating and completely missed Lady Li's gaze.

Lady Li was quite annoyed.

This silly girl!

She raised her voice slightly, "Xiao Xixi, are you listening to us?"

Xiao Xixi lifted her head from the fruits and tea snacks, looking around blankly.

Seeing this, Lady Bai smiled gently, "It seems Xiao Xixi wasn't listening."

Xiao Xixi wasn't entirely oblivious; she had heard the general content but didn't quite understand why these women suddenly called her. Did they want her to join their conversation?

Well, since she had eaten the fruits and snacks provided by Lady Bai, she should at least help liven up the atmosphere.

Xiao Xixi focused her thoughts.

They had mentioned His Highness the Crown Prince and something about being busy with myriad state affairs.

Emmmm...

Xiao Xixi asked seriously, "Who is Li Wanjun? Why does His Highness the Crown Prince want to... 'day' him?"

Lady Bai: "..."

Lady Li: "..."

All the concubines: "..."

Baoqin almost wanted to kneel before her.

My dear lady, just look at what you've said! How can you be so crude?!

After a long silence,

Lady Bai finally broke the silence with difficulty.

"The wind is a bit strong today."

Chen Liangyuan dryly echoed, "Yes, the wind is too strong, I didn't hear anything."

Lady Li swiftly changed the topic.

"I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince almost got injured during the hunt."

This immediately caught everyone's attention.

They eagerly erased the crude remark from their memory and collectively engaged in the discussion about "the Crown Prince almost getting injured."

"Do you know what happened?"

"I heard the horse was spooked and threw His Highness the Crown Prince off."

"His Highness the Crown Prince is unharmed despite this, truly blessed and fortunate."

...

Next, they engaged in various forms of flattery towards the Crown Prince.

Xiao Xixi couldn't join in, so she happily continued eating.

At this moment, a eunuch's announcement came from outside.

"His Highness the Crown Prince has arrived!"

The concubines, who hadn't expected the Crown Prince to come, were all delighted.

They quickly checked their appearances to ensure they looked their best from head to toe.

Luo Qinghan stepped into the Cui Ming Pavilion.

He was wearing a blue wide-sleeved robe, and the wind made his clothes flutter, complementing his cold and handsome face, giving him an ethereal quality as if he were about to ascend to immortality, beautiful beyond human measure.

Lady Bai and Lady Li led the other concubines to greet him.

"Your humble servant greets His Highness the Crown Prince."

Luo Qinghan's harem contained over a dozen beauties, ranging from plump to slender.

Amidst this group of charming women, he looked like a handsome Tang Monk who had mistakenly entered a demon's cave.

The more he remained seated, the more people wanted to strip him of his clothes.

Luo Qinghan asked indifferently, "What were you talking about just now?"

Except for Xiao Xixi, all the concubines stiffened.

What were we talking about?

We were talking about why you want to 'day' Li Wanjun?

Cough, cough!

Lady Bai coughed lightly, her voice soft, "We were just discussing how His Highness the Crown Prince almost got injured during the hunt."

Lady Li's tone was full of concern, "We are all very worried about Your Highness's safety."

The other concubines nodded in agreement.

"Yes, yes, Your Highness must take good care of your health."

Lady Bai coughed again, looking quite uncomfortable.

Luo Qinghan looked at her, "Are you sick again?"
