Chapter 11

Concubine Bai softly said, "I heard that Your Highness was almost injured, and my heart is restless. I caught a bit of a cold, so I fell ill again. Cough, cough, it's all because I am so useless."

Luo Qinghan asked, "Have you seen the imperial physician?"

Concubine Bai's gaze was as gentle as water, and her voice became even more melodious and pleasant: "It's just a minor illness, no need to trouble the imperial physician. I'll be fine if I rest a bit. Thank you for your concern, Your Highness."

"You should still seek treatment early if you are ill. Later, have someone take my token to the imperial medical office and get a consultation."

Concubine Bai lowered her head, her fair face tinged with a faint blush, revealing a touch of feminine shyness, which was very alluring.

She responded softly.

"Um."

Chen Liangyuan suppressed the sourness in her heart and smiled, flattering, "Your Highness is really good to Sister Bai."

Concubine Bai softly said, "Your Highness is good to everyone."

Chen Liangyuan deliberately put on a coquettish air: "Not at all, Your Highness is best to you, Sister!"

Concubine Bai did not speak further, only looking at the Crown Prince with tender affection.

Concubine Li cursed Concubine Bai in her heart.

This white lotus flower just pretends to be weak to attract the Crown Prince's attention, how shameless!

And Chen Liangyuan is also brainless, only knowing how to flatter the white lotus flower, thinking that this will help her secure a place in the Eastern Palace? Dream on!

Concubine Li's eyes flickered, and she revealed a bright and seductive smile.

"Your Highness, I have been practicing the Western Region dance recently and have made some progress. I wonder if Your Highness would like to come to my place tonight to watch?"

All the concubines were speechless.

Concubine Bai was just trying to attract the Crown Prince's attention, but Concubine Li was actually trying to get the Crown Prince to spend the night in her quarters! How shameless!

Luo Qinghan said indifferently, "We'll see."

Concubine Li was unwilling to give up and continued to pout and cling, trying to change his mind.

The other concubines, not wanting to be left behind, racked their brains to find reasons to get the Crown Prince to spend the night with them.

Luo Qinghan remained unmoved.

He had seen this kind of drama since he was young and was already used to it.

His gaze swept over the women and finally rested on Xiao Xixi.

At this moment, all the women were vying for his favor, but only Xiao Xixi was still focused on eating.

The fruit peels in front of her had already piled up.

Judging by the quantity, she must have eaten a lot before he arrived.

Luo Qinghan couldn't help but call out.

"Xiao Liangdi."

Xiao Xixi lifted her head, still chewing, her cheeks puffed out.

Luo Qinghan remembered the little squirrel he had raised as a child.

She looked very much like that squirrel now.

A bit cute.

When the Crown Prince called Xiao Liangdi, all the women fell silent and turned to look at Xiao Xixi.

The once nearly invisible Xiao Xixi suddenly became the center of attention.

Xiao Xixi quickly swallowed the food in her mouth and stood up.

"Your Highness, what do you need?"

Luo Qinghan twirled the teacup in his hand and said casually, "Tomorrow is the Empress Mother's birthday, and there will be a banquet in the Phoenix Perch Garden in the evening. You will accompany me to attend it."

Xiao Xixi blinked her almond eyes.

The Empress's birthday banquet.

There must be a lot of good food, right?

Go, go, go!

Not going would be inhuman!

She nodded excitedly, "Okay!"

If the concubines' gazes toward Xiao Xixi were just filled with envy and jealousy before, now they were multiplied by ten to the Nth power.

The intense jealousy was almost enough to cut Xiao Xixi into a thousand pieces.
