The Imperial Concubine Just Wants To Be a Salted Fish Every Day - Chapter 1117

[Chapter 1117 Retreat without a fight]

When Xiao Xixi fell into a daze, she felt that someone was lying down beside her.

She felt the familiar breath, and consciously rolled over into the other’s arms.

Luo Qinghan hugged her and rubbed her chin on the top of her hair.

Xiao Xixi raised her eyelids with difficulty, and asked in an angry voice.

“How’s it going?”

She asked endlessly, but Luo Qinghan understood what she was asking.

He said softly, “The Empress Dowager is indeed very ill.”

Xiao Xixi looked up at him, trying to comfort him, but found that there was no sadness in his eyes.

He still looked so calm.

It seemed that the seriously ill younger brother of the Empress Dowager did not affect him in any way.

Xiao Xixi suddenly didn’t know what to say.

Luo Qinghan kissed her forehead and asked in a low voice, “I feel a little cold, can you hug me?”

Xiao Xixi hugged him without hesitation, put her face on his chest, and rubbed it affectionately.

Luo Qinghan felt that his heart gradually became warmer.

This warm current has been spreading from the heart to the limbs.

He was finally not so cold.

…

The news that the Empress Dowager was seriously ill spread among the royal family.

Princess Hua’an, who had already escaped into the empty door, was extremely uncomfortable when she learned of this.

She really wanted to go to the Taimiao Temple to see her mother, but she was still guilty, so how could she have the face to beg the emperor?

In the end, she could only be alone in the Buddhist hall, silently reciting sutras and chanting the Buddha, hoping that her mother could seek blessings and help her to get through this difficult time.

It is now the end of the year, and the New Year will soon be approaching.

Everyone has prepared things and is ready to celebrate the New Year happily, but now the Empress Dowager is seriously ill and may die at any time. No one dares to celebrate at this time, and every household is very low-key.

The palace has even begun to prepare what Bai Shi needs to use.

The mausoleum of the Empress Dowager has already been built, and now it only needs to be checked and confirmed that there is no problem.

After obtaining the emperor’s approval, the British King Luo Yechen took the princess and son to the Taimiao Temple.

They were there to visit the Empress Dowager.

However, the Empress Dowager has been in a coma, unable to respond to the outside world.

The three members of the King’s family soon left the Taimiao Temple.

Afterwards, other princes and nobles received the emperor’s permission to enter the Taimiao Temple to visit the Empress Dowager.

Everyone knows very well that this is actually the last time.

Time passes day by day.

Seeing that the New Year was getting closer, Luo Qinghan suddenly received a good news from Wanhai City——

There was turmoil in the country of Qiandao. The national teacher wanted to murder the emperor, control the government, and forcibly fought against the big bloom on the grounds of revenge for the third princess and the little prince.

However, the three princesses returned to Qiandao Country safely not long ago, and together with General Jin entered the palace to rescue the emperor, and the national teacher was also assassinated by a mysterious person at the same time and died.

The emperor of the Qiandao Kingdom was successfully rescued, and the civil unrest came to an end.

The Qiandao State army moored near the port of Wanhaicheng has been evacuated, and the Qiandao State Emperor also sent an apology letter to the Dasheng Emperor, asking the Dasheng Emperor to forgive the past and restore the friendly relations between the two countries.

Luo Qinghan announced the news early the next morning.

This should be the only good news in recent days.

The courtiers smiled one after another, congratulating the emperor, and at the same time, they did not forget to flatter the emperor, believing that only the emperor was wise and martial, so he could be blessed by God and let the enemy retreat without a fight.

Now that the war is over, Xiao Lingfeng should naturally return to the DPRK with the army.

However, Wanhai City is too far away from Shengjing, and it will take at least two months for them to return.

Today is a small year, Xiao Xixi wants to go out of the palace to have a meal with the brothers, Luo Qinghan naturally wants to accompany him.

Instead of going out to eat in restaurants and bars, they made a hot pot in the yard where the brothers lived.

The ingredients are prepared by the seniors themselves, and the hot pot base is also fried by the seniors.

In the past, when they were in Xuanmen, they often gathered together to eat hot pot for barbecue, and they had long been familiar with the practice of hot pot.

Since Luo Qinghan and Fang Wujiu couldn’t eat spicy food, they made a mandarin duck pot.

Xiao Xixi picked up a large handful of mutton slices with chopsticks, put them in a pot and blanched them, then put them in a dipping bowl, coated them with rich sauce, and stuffed them into his mouth, eating with relish.

Pei Qianhu took a sip of wine and clicked his tongue.

“It’s just the younger brother, we can gather together, the younger brother and sister, I don’t know when the younger brother will come back?”

Luo Qinghan said in a low voice, “It will take almost two months for him to come back with Xiao Lingfeng’s army.”

Xiao Xixi picked up another large amount of mutton and put it into the pot, and asked.

“Didn’t the younger brother and the third princess look at each other? He is willing to leave the third princess behind?”

Fang Wujiu casually handed a piece of fish meat to Old Wang, who was squatting at his feet, and said calmly, “Even if he doesn’t want to, he has to come back.”

Xiao Xixi was puzzled: “Why?”

Wen Jiucheng was holding a book in one hand and eating vegetables with chopsticks. Hearing that, he looked up at her and said.

“He knows what happened to you overnight, and he is furious. How can he stay in Qiandao Country? He must come back to see you with his own eyes.”

Pei Qianhu poured himself another glass of wine and said with emotion, “No matter how important a daughter-in-law is, it is not as important as a senior sister.”

Xiao Xixi is most afraid of others mentioning her whiteheads.

She didn’t think her white hair was too ugly, but she was afraid that Luo Qinghan would be uncomfortable because of it.

She died to save Luo Qinghan. Luo Qinghan didn’t say anything on his face, but he actually always cared about it in his heart.

He privately asked people from the Taiyuan Hospital to search for ways to make his hair black, hoping that Xixi could return to its original state.

He didn’t let anyone tell Xixi about these things, but Fang Wujiu told her everything.

Xiao Xixi put a large batch of freshly hot mutton slices into the bowl of Wen Jiucheng, forcibly changing the topic.

“Second Senior Brother, stop reading, eat meat, this mutton is delicious!”

Wen Jiucheng immediately put down the book in his hand, ate a piece of mutton, and said with a smile, “It’s really delicious.”

Pei Qianhu immediately put the wine glass on the table and said with a half-smile.

“It turns out that Xixi only has the second senior brother in his eyes. Is my third senior brother unworthy to eat your blanched mutton?”

Xiao Xixi hurriedly scalded another chopstick of mutton and put it in Pei Qianhu’s bowl.

Pei Qianhu was immediately satisfied.

Fang Wujiu sighed a long time: “I haven’t even eaten a piece of mutton until now.”

Xiao Xixi had to burn another handful of mutton slices to the senior brother.

Luo Qinghan looked at her blankly, didn’t say anything, just looked at her like this.

Xiao Xixi: “…”

She stretched her chopsticks to the plate with the lamb slices again, but found that the lamb was gone, leaving only a bare plate.

Xiao Xixi can only turn around, pick up a piece of fish, put it into Luo Qinghan’s bowl after it’s cooked, and whisper to him.

“This fish is more delicious than mutton, and it’s especially tender. I won’t tell anyone else, just tell you.”

…

Good morning everyone~
