After eating and drinking, and taking a nap, Xiao Xixi felt much more comfortable.
But Luo Qinghan's mood is still not too high.
Xiao Xixi tried to make him happy by telling a cold joke, but her saliva dried up, and his expression still didn't loosen at all, looking hard and cold.
She had no other choice but to use her trump card and decided to sing a song on the spot.
Just as she opened her mouth, she was met with Luo Qinghan's death stare.
A lyric was stuck in my throat, and I couldn't spit it out.
Xiao Xixi was disappointed: "Can't even my singing heal you?"
Luo Qinghan: "Your singing will only make me more depressed."
Xiao Xixi: "..."
She sighed and said, "How can I make you happy?"
Luo Qinghan stretched out his hand, hugged her gently but firmly, embraced her whole body, rested his chin on the top of her hair, and said softly.
"Don't make a sound, just let me hug you quietly for a while."
Xiao Xixi shut her mouth obediently, treating herself as a human-shaped pillow and letting him hold it.
After a while, she reluctantly opened her mouth again.
"Do you really need me to sing a song? I think this atmosphere is very suitable for a cappella."
Luo Qinghan: "No more nonsense, then you can only eat white rice porridge every day."
The lethality of this threat was too great, Xiao Xixi didn't dare to say a word, and huddled in his arms honestly.
Probably because his embrace was too warm and comfortable, and before she knew it, she fell asleep again.
Luo Qinghan looked down at her, and saw that she was sleeping soundly. He didn't take the fact that he was asleep for a long time to his heart, but he was worried about it.
He couldn't help but cursed in his heart, a little thing with no conscience.
the next day.
Before dawn, Xiao Xixi was called up from her sleep by Luo Qinghan.
She rubbed her eyes and asked vaguely, "What's wrong?"
Luo Qinghan: "Get up, have breakfast, and follow me."
Xiao Xixi was puzzled: "Where are you going?"
Luo Qinghan didn't speak, took the hot and humid towel from the palace maid and wiped Xiao Xixi's face in person.
He had never served anyone before, and he didn't have a good grasp of the strength. He rubbed it all the time, and his little face was red with rubbing. Coupled with her misty eyes because she hadn't woken up, she looked extra weak and pitiful.
The palace maids and eunuchs next to them didn't dare to look at them, they all lowered their heads wisely.
In the past, they would have been puzzled by the emperor's indulgence of the concubine, but now they have become accustomed to it.
In fact, apart from the status of the emperor and the imperial concubine, the atmosphere when the two of them get along is no different from that of ordinary folk couples.
After washing her face, Xiao Xixi felt much more awake.
She crawled out of bed on both hands and feet, and the maids immediately gathered around to wait on her to change her clothes and comb her hair.
It wasn't until breakfast that Xiao Xixi woke up completely.
As she ate, she asked, "Where are we going?"
Luo Qinghan took a sip of hot soup and said softly, "Go to court."
Xiao Xixi was so frightened that she choked, she quickly picked up the cup and drank two big mouthfuls of hot milk before swallowing the food stuck in her throat.
Luo Qinghan picked up the silk handkerchief and helped her wipe the milk from her mouth.
Xiao Xixi asked in astonishment, "You go to court, what are you taking me to do?"
Luo Qinghan: "I don't need you to do anything, just stay honest and don't move."
Xiao Xixi couldn't understand: "But why?"
Luo Qinghan looked at her fixedly: "I have to keep an eye on you, lest you do anything with your body again."
Since no one else can control her, he will control her himself.
He wants to keep her under his nose all the time, so that she has no chance to do things again.
After breakfast, the two took the dragon chariot to the council hall.
This is the first time that Xixi has gone out so early. She is still sound asleep at this time on weekdays.
She couldn't help yawning.
Luo Qinghan: "You can sleep for a while, and I'll remind you when I get there."
Xiao Xixi was not polite at all, and immediately fell down, lying on the side of the collapsed.
She rested her head on his lap, then pulled his oversized sleeves over herself, closed her eyes, and went into sleep mode for a second.
Luo Qinghan looked down at her, his fingertips hooked on a strand of her hair.
The cold white fingers contrasted sharply with the jet black hair.
When Long Nian stopped, Eunuch Chang reminded in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, here we are."
Luo Qinghan patted Xiao Xixi's cheek lightly.
Xiao Xixi opened her eyes, put her hands on his lap, sat up slowly, and muttered.
"Why did it arrive so soon?"
Luo Qinghan led her down the dragon carriage.
In front of it is the east gate of the Council Hall, which is also the exclusive passage for the emperor.
At this time, the sky was already bright, but the temperature was still very low, and the cold wind was blowing.
Xiao Xixi couldn't help shrinking her neck.
Luo Qinghan held her hand even tighter.
He reminded in a low voice: "The ground is slippery, be careful."
Xiao Xixi hid half of her face in the fox fur scarf.
The snow-white fox fur made her face even smaller and more beautiful.
She murmured, "Yeah."
Luo Qinghan led her up the steps and entered the left side hall of the council hall through the east gate.
He asked Xixi to stay in the left side hall and warned.
"Don't run around, just sit here and wait for me to go down."
Xiao Xixi nodded obediently and said yes.
Luo Qinghan left Cao Nuo here, let him take care of the imperial concubine, and then went to the main hall.
The conference hall is divided into the main hall and the left and right side halls. On weekdays, the emperor and the civil and military officials are in the main hall. The left side hall is generally the emperor's exclusive resting place, and the side hall is the resting place for the courtiers.
The side hall is next to the main hall, and the two are connected by a door.
At this time, the door was open, and the emperor sitting on the top could see the scene in the left side hall as long as he turned his head slightly.
While listening to the courtiers discussing business affairs, he was distracted from Xiao Xixi who was staying in the left side hall.
Originally, Xixi was kneeling on the cushion, but after sitting for a while, she probably felt her legs and feet were sore and numb, so she changed to sitting cross-legged.
This sitting position is a bit vulgar for a woman, but Luo Qinghan has long been accustomed to her casual behavior, so she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
There are some refreshments on the table in front of Xiao Xixi, which were sent by Cao Nuo.
While eating tea, she listened to the courtiers discussing business affairs.
Listening and listening, she dozed off and yawned one after another.
By the time she hit her thirtieth yawn, the morning was finally over.
Luo Qinghan walked into the left side hall and extended his hand to Xixi.
"Let's go."
Xiao Xixi put her hand into his palm and let him pull herself up.
Probably because of sitting for too long, my head was a little dizzy when I first stood up.
She shook her body.
