The mind-reading sick prince led me and the system to go crazy

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but worry when she thought about the banquet to be held at home tomorrow but she hadn't made any preparations yet.

Looking up at the delicious food on the stalls, Lu Xiaoxiao swallowed her saliva and did not stay outside for long. She asked Bai Zhi to stay and pack up some cakes she wanted to eat.

Then, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly pulled Xie Xi towards the Prince's Mansion.

"Your Highness, you should have told me earlier. Otherwise, I wouldn't have wasted the surprise you prepared so carefully today. There are still many delicious foods that I haven't been able to taste."

"It's okay. Whatever you want to eat, I'll have them cook it in the mansion."

"I know your highness is the best!"

"Ah."

-

After returning to the Prince's Mansion, before Lu Xiaoxiao had time to go back to Jingxiang Courtyard to wash up, she saw the young girl who served Concubine Xiao coming over, "This servant greets Your Highness and Master Lu Liangyuan."

"Young lady, why are you here?"

Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously raised her eyes to look at Xie Xi and saw that he seemed to have no idea what Concubine Xiao would say.

Qingcong: "My master wants Master Lu Liangyuan to go to Qingshuyuan, saying that there is something important to discuss."

"The master also said that if Your Highness is here, please accompany Master Lu Liangyuan there."

Without waiting for Xie Xi to speak, Lu Xiaoxiao responded first: "Okay, I understand. I will go with Your Highness right away."

After she finished speaking, she winked at Xie Xi and said with a smile, "Your Highness, would you like to go together?"

Seeing this, Xie Xi smiled and hummed softly.

Qingcong lowered his head and waited for His Highness and Lu Liangyuan to leave first.

Mu Qing was still walking at the end, holding the sword.

After a while, Qingshuyuan.

At this time, Concubine Xiao was sitting in the pavilion in the yard looking through the account book.

After hearing a soft voice of "Sister Concubine", Concubine Xiao came back to her senses from the pile of account books. She raised her eyes and looked towards the entrance of the yard.

Seeing that it was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lu Xiaoxiao, Concubine Xiao immediately stood up and walked quickly to the two of them.

Concubine Xiao had a gentle smile on her face. When her eyes fell on Lu Xiaoxiao's face, she took another step back and looked at Lu Xiaoxiao carefully. Suddenly, her eyebrows slightly frowned, "You've lost weight."

"It's only been a few days since we last met. How come you've lost so much weight, Sister Lu?"

Lu Xiaoxiao subconsciously let go of Xie Xi's hand and turned around in front of Concubine Xiao. She stared at Concubine Xiao and said aggrievedly, "That's all because I miss Concubine Sister so much that I've lost weight."

When Concubine Xiao heard this, she was immediately amused by her and admitted her fault, "Yes, yes, it's all my sister's fault. I'll ask the kitchen to make more nourishing soup for Sister Lu."

Having said that, Concubine Xiao took Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and led her into the pavilion.

Xie Xi was left standing there alone.

Xie Xi: ???

That was clearly his little one, why did Xiao Shuyi always have to snatch it from him?!

Xie Xi felt mixed emotions, helplessly watching them forget about him.

Now, his role as the Crown Prince is indeed becoming less and less dignified.

Concubine Xiao actually forgot that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also here.

At this moment, Concubine Xiao only had Sister Lu in her eyes. Seeing that Sister Lu had lost weight, she couldn't help but feel distressed.

As soon as the two of them sat down in the pavilion, Concubine Xiao told Qingcong to go and tell the kitchen to cook some bird's nest porridge and send it over.

"Thank you, Sister Concubine."

Lu Xiaoxiao curved her eyes and smiled sweetly, "I wonder if Sister Concubine asked me to come here, but is there anything you want to discuss with me?"

"Yes, yes, I almost forgot about the main thing."

After she mentioned it, Concubine Xiao remembered it instantly and said with a smile: "Sister Lu, tomorrow is your birthday. According to His Highness's idea, a birthday banquet will be held for you at the mansion tomorrow. The invitations have been sent out."

"However, I don't know what dishes to prepare for tomorrow's banquet, so I wanted you to come over and take a look..."

At this point, Concubine Xiao paused for a moment and continued, "Also, I have sent someone to deliver the new dress that the embroiderer has just made to Jingxiang Courtyard. When you go back, try it on to see if it fits you."

"If you like it, you can wear that new dress tomorrow. If you don't like it, I will think of a way to prepare something better for you..."

"like!"

Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect that the concubine sister had already prepared new clothes for her. She was stunned for a moment, and then quickly replied: "I like everything that the concubine sister prepared!"

"You are sweet-mouthed."

Concubine Xiao smiled, and couldn't help but raised her hand to pinch her cheek lightly, with an indulgent look on her face: "As long as my sister likes it, I just want to see my sister happy."

Lu Xiaoxiao blinked and acted coquettishly towards her: "That's because Sister Concubine is so good to me!"

"Cough cough cough."

Xie Xi, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help it anymore.

From the time he came in and sat down in the pavilion until now, Concubine Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao acted as if they had never seen him.

Xie Xi frowned, his deep gaze fell on the tightly clasped hands of Concubine Xiao and Lu Xiaoxiao, and he snorted softly: "Xiao Shuyi, is it time for you to let go?"

"Huh? Your Highness?"

Upon hearing this, Concubine Xiao looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in shock, and said hesitantly, "When did His Royal Highness come here? Why haven't I seen His Royal Highness before?"

Xie Xi said expressionlessly: "...I came here with Xiaoxiao."

Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”

Lu Xiaoxiao felt guilty, so she silently looked away and quietly withdrew her little hand.

[No wonder I always feel like I forgot something. It turns out I just forgot about His Highness...]

[It's over. My sister and I have ignored His Highness. His Highness will definitely be very angry, right? ]

Concubine Xiao heard the inner voice: "..."

Damn, I just saw Sister Lu, and she actually ignored His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! !

Concubine Xiao quickly stood up and apologized to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, it was my negligence for a moment. Please calm down."

"Your Highness..."

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoxiao also stood up. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by Xie Xi, "Forget it, I'm not angry. Sit down, Xiao Shuyi, there can't be a next time."

Concubine Xiao replied, "Yes, Your Highness, I will keep it in mind."

Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Xie Xi guiltily. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something else.

As a result, the next moment, her mouth was covered by Xie Xi's big hand.

Lu Xiaoxiao was confused:?

"Lu Xiaoxiao, you are not allowed to talk anymore."

After he finished speaking, Xie Xi withdrew his hand. He lowered his head, picked up the teacup, poured himself a cup of tea, put it on the table, but did not drink it.

[Your Highness seems to be still angry? No, to be more precise, Your Highness is angry with me? ]

[His Highness is angry, how should I comfort him? ]

Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help feeling distressed. She secretly glanced at His Highness, and then looked at her sister, the concubine, with a pleading look.

Concubine Xiao sighed inwardly and gave a look that showed she was helpless.

Who knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was so jealous? If he hadn't held Sister Lu's hand just now, I'm afraid His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would have continued to remain silent.

Concubine Xiao was helpless. If the prince was angry, Sister Lu would comfort him. She decided to continue talking about business first.

"I wonder if Your Highness has thought about where to hold the banquet in your mansion tomorrow?"

Concubine Xiao: "Do you want to invite the opera troupe and dancers to your house?"

Regarding the matter of inviting the opera troupe, Concubine Xiao actually wanted to ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince yesterday, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not in the mansion yesterday.

Perhaps His Highness had taken Sister Lu somewhere for a stroll, and Concubine Xiao couldn't bear to disturb their interest, so she didn't send anyone out to find His Highness to discuss the matter.

"Just hire a troupe..."

After a slight pause, Xie Xi suddenly turned his head and glanced at Lu Xiaoxiao, then sighed helplessly, "Forget it, everyone, please come over here."

Xie Xi still remembered that at the palace banquet that day, Lu Xiaoxiao had been staring at the dancers. Perhaps she really liked watching the dancers dance.

Since tomorrow is her birthday, we should make her happy.

Lu Xiaoxiao became nervous instantly after being glanced at.

[Your Highness just looked at me! Is Your Highness no longer angry?! ]

Xie Xi quickly looked away.

Concubine Xiao, who noticed His Highness's little action, almost laughed out loud.

But when she thought that His Highness was still angry with Sister Lu, she suppressed her smile again, clenched her fist and coughed lightly: "Okay, I'll remember this."

"Then the arrangements of the mansion will be left to me?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Xiaoxiao quickly raised her hand. She didn't dare to speak, but just kept signaling with her eyes: I want to help too!

[It's my birthday party after all, so I should do something, right? I can't keep my sister, the concubine, tired all the time...]

Xie Xi pretended that he had not seen Lu Xiaoxiao's actions. He hummed and said to Concubine Xiao, "Then I'll leave it all to you."

Concubine Xiao nodded, then deliberately avoided His Highness's sight and quietly made a gesture to Lu Xiaoxiao to indicate that it was okay.

A smile suddenly appeared on Lu Xiaoxiao's face. Her eyebrows were curved and dimples appeared on her cheeks. She said silently: Thank you, sister concubine!

Concubine Xiao smiled.

Being ignored again, Xie Xi picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Because His Highness was still angry, after listening to the concubine sister confirming everything about tomorrow's birthday banquet, Lu Xiaoxiao proposed to return to Jingxiangyuan.

Concubine Xiao looked up at the sky. It was still early, but it was time for Sister Lu to go back and coax His Highness.

"Well, it's getting late, it would be better for Sister Lu to go back to the yard and rest early."

Concubine Xiao said, "When the bird's nest porridge is ready, I will ask Qingcong to deliver it."

Lu Xiaoxiao: "Okay, then I'll have to trouble Miss Qingcong later."

Qingcong stepped forward and said respectfully: "It is what this servant should do."

"Your Highness, would you like to sit in Jingxiang Courtyard?"

Lu Xiaoxiao stood up and gently hooked her white fingers around his sleeves.

Xie Xi: "...Since Lu Liangyuan invited me, I will reluctantly agree."

"Then thank you, Your Highness."

Lu Xiaoxiao smiled playfully and bowed to him respectfully: "Your Highness is the best Crown Prince in the world!"

Xie Xi couldn't help but chuckle: "You, don't be so polite."

Seeing the two of them fooling around, Concubine Xiao also laughed.

Lu Xiaoxiao and Xie Xi returned to Jingxiangyuan.

As soon as they arrived, they saw Bai Zhi coming back.

Bai Zhi was holding a lot of food boxes in her hands, all of which were what Lu Xiaoxiao wanted to eat. She placed the food boxes on the table one by one and raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her forehead.

"Master, I have done everything you asked me to do, but the pancake is a little burnt. But Xie San said that this is the best one he has ever made. If you don't think it tastes good, he will practice his cooking skills again."

"It's hard for Xie San."

[It's a bit funny to think that a secret guard like him ends up selling pancakes on the street.]

Lu Xiaoxiao sighed, and suddenly asked Xie Xi: "Your Highness, how did you come up with the idea of ​​letting Xie San open a pancake stall?"

Xie Xi: "Xie San has the highest comprehension ability. I arranged for four secret guards to study together for a few days, but in the end, only Xie San mastered it, so the pancake stall naturally belongs to him."

Xie San: If I had known this, I would have pretended that I couldn’t learn it. What a mistake!

Lu Xiaoxiao nodded thoughtfully: "So that's how it is, then Xie Sanke is really honest enough..."

"But I still want to thank Your Highness. I like today's surprise very much. I really like it!"

Before he finished speaking, Lu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood on tiptoe and quickly touched his lips. Before Xie Xi could react, she shrank back and strode into the room.

She raised her eyebrows and smiled, waving her hands as she walked back: "Your Highness, the concubine sister prepared new clothes for me, I will go try them on first."

Looking at her receding back, Xie Xi inadvertently caught a glimpse of her jade-like earlobes turning red, and he curled his lips and smiled.

Seeing this, Bai Zhi quietly retreated.

-

"Master, you're back!"

"master!"

At this time, Bai Zhu and Chen Lu were both in the room arranging Lu Xiaoxiao's head ornaments and jewelry.

Thinking about the birthday party that will be held for their master in the mansion tomorrow, the maids naturally think about dressing up their master to look stunning tomorrow.

Lu Xiaoxiao walked over and looked at them curiously: "Bai Zhu, Chen Lu, what are you doing?"

"Master, I am thinking about what kind of headgear you should wear tomorrow morning to show your beauty."

Chen Lu said with a smile.

Lu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment: "It's just a birthday party, there's no need for me to dress up so grandly, right?"

"I heard that His Highness has sent invitations to many people of status this time. Since it is the master's birthday party, the master should be the most conspicuous one, so that others will not look down on the master..."

Bai Zhu said the last sentence very quietly, but Lu Xiaoxiao still heard it, "Look down on? Me?"

"Bai Shu, why do you think so?"

Before she finished speaking, Bai Zhu knelt on the ground and lowered her head to admit her mistake: "Master, I said something wrong at the time. Please punish me."

Lu Xiaoxiao pursed her lips slightly. She did not answer Bai Zhu's words, but looked up at Chen Lu.

Lu Xiaoxiao frowned and said seriously, "Chenlu, you tell the truth, and don't lie!"

"This……"

Chen Lu hesitated, "Master, I don't know what to say."

In fact, Chen Lu knew why Bai Shu said that -

In fact, the ladies of the capital were deliberately slandering their masters in private and saying bad things about them everywhere, and Bai Zhu, who was out shopping, happened to hear it clearly...
