Chapter 75

When Luo Qinghan got up, it was still dark outside.

Eunuch Chang led the palace maids and eunuchs into the room to serve the Crown Prince with his morning ablutions and dressing.

Despite the many people moving around the room, occasionally making some noise, Xiao Liangdi continued to sleep soundly, showing no signs of waking up.

In theory, the concubine who had served the Crown Prince the previous night should personally attend to his morning ablutions and dressing the next day. No concubine had ever dared to stay in bed after the Crown Prince had woken up.

Eunuch Chang was speechless; Xiao Liangdi really had a lot of nerve!

What made him even more speechless was that the Crown Prince did not say anything to her, allowing her to continue sleeping.

Baoqin stood at the door, peering inside. She saw that the Crown Prince was already dressed, but her mistress was still fast asleep.

She was both angry and anxious, wishing she could perform a lion's roar to wake her mistress up.

Taking advantage of the Crown Prince's departure to the flower hall for breakfast, Baoqin rushed into the bedroom and grabbed Xiao Liangdi's shoulders, shaking her vigorously.

"Miss, wake up!"

Xiao Xixi opened her sleepy eyes and looked at her blankly. "What's wrong?"

"The Crown Prince is having breakfast next door; you need to get up and serve him!"

Xiao Xixi became a bit more alert, smacking her lips. "Breakfast? It's already time for breakfast?"

Baoqin really wanted to kneel before her.

How could she be so focused on the wrong things?

In such a long sentence, she only remembered the word "breakfast"!

While dressing her, Baoqin quickly said, "For the past two mornings, you didn't serve the Crown Prince with his morning ablutions, and you could explain it by saying it was your first two times serving him, and your body needed more rest. But today is the third night, and you really can't stay in bed anymore! Get up quickly. Even if you can't serve the Crown Prince with his dressing and washing, at least see him off at the door. Don't let others think you are being arrogant because of his favor."

Xiao Xixi was extremely sleepy, her eyelids feeling as heavy as lead, constantly drooping.

She stood there, her mind blank.

When Baoqin told her to raise her arms, she raised them; when Baoqin told her to lift her legs, she lifted them.

Two other palace maids entered with hot water and quickly helped Xiao Liangdi with her washing and hairdressing.

Due to the urgency, they only styled her hair into a simple bun, and there was no time to apply makeup. Baoqin urged Xiao Xixi to leave.

Xiao Xixi, dazed and confused, arrived at the flower hall.

By this time, Luo Qinghan had finished his breakfast and was preparing to leave.

Seeing Xiao Liangdi, he was quite surprised.

"Why are you up?"

Xiao Xixi yawned, weakly saying, "Your concubine is here to see you off."

Being a concubine in ancient times was really hard; not only did she have to serve in bed, but she also had to see him off.

Baoqin secretly gave her a look, urging her to be more spirited and not to lose her composure in front of the Crown Prince.

Unfortunately, Xiao Xixi didn't pick up on Baoqin's signals and continued to yawn one after another.

Luo Qinghan said, "You should go back to bed and continue sleeping."

Xiao Xixi rubbed her sleepy eyes. "Your concubine will see you off first, then go back to bed."

Baoqin facepalmed.

It's fine for you to go back to bed, but don't say it in front of the Crown Prince!

At least maintain some decorum!

Luo Qinghan walked out of the Qingge Hall's main gate.

Baoqin secretly tugged at Xiao Liangdi's sleeve, reminding her to say something sweet to the Crown Prince to encourage him to come back tonight.

Xiao Xixi immediately understood and gave the Crown Prince a standard ninety-degree bow.

Her solemn attitude was like bidding farewell to a deceased person.

"Thank you for your patronage, and we look forward to your next visit!"

Luo Qinghan: "……"

Baoqin: "……"
