It was not until the hour of Si the next day that Lu Xiaoxiao woke up.
As soon as they heard the noise in the room, Baizhi and Chenlu hurried in with basins of water.
The two approached the bed with joy on their faces. Bai Zhi smiled and said, "Congratulations, Master. I will help you wash up."
"?"
Hearing the word "congratulations", Lu Xiaoxiao paused in her lazy stretching.
The tangled and sticky scenes from last night instantly emerged in her mind, and her body was still very tired at this moment.
It was only because His Highness loved her that he didn't torture her too much...
Lu Xiaoxiao reacted immediately, her porcelain-white cheeks flushed, and she clutched the quilt tightly in her hands. She pretended to be calm and coughed lightly: "Well, wash up first."
Seeing her master's blushing cheeks and wandering eyes, Chen Lu knew that her master was shy, so she quietly nudged Bai Zhi with her elbow, signaling her to be more restrained.
After all, the master is thin-skinned and can't stand their stares.
Bai Zhi understood. She lowered her head and carefully used a handkerchief to wipe her master's face and wash his face.
Chen Lu, who was standing at the side, said, "Master, I have brought back breakfast. It is the usual cakes and rice porridge. Is there anything else you would like to eat?"
"I don't have anything to eat, so this is all. No need to make another trip."
Speaking of breakfast, Lu Xiaoxiao realized how hungry she was.
"Yes, master."
Hearing this, Chen Lu responded and went to the table to set the table so that the master could eat after he finished washing up.
Lu Xiaoxiao had just finished breakfast and was thinking about going out for a walk when she heard Chen Wu come in to report that the Crown Prince had arrived.
Lu Xiaoxiao was surprised and asked subconsciously: "Your Highness is not going to the palace for the morning court? Why..."
Bai Zhi replied in a low voice: "Master, it is already Si hour now, His Highness has already returned home for a long time."
Lu Xiaoxiao: “…”
Lu Xiaoxiao coughed lightly, pretended to be calm and stood up, lowered his head and brushed his sleeves, "Okay, then I'll go see him."
"Xiaoxiao, don't you want to see me?"
A voice full of grievance sounded, and Lu Xiaoxiao, who had just stepped over the threshold, saw Xie Xi, who was wearing a black robe.
Although his words sounded aggrieved, when Xie Xi looked at Lu Xiaoshi, his eyes were filled with a gentle smile.
He walked over and took her hand naturally, "Have you had breakfast?"
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "It's not that I don't want to see you, I just thought you were still in the palace."
Xie Xi chuckled and raised his hand to brush away the loose hair on her forehead. "There is nothing important in the morning court today. Father did not send me any memorials. I can have some free time. I wonder if Xiaoxiao wants to leave the house?"
Lu Xiaoxiao: "Your Highness, what are you saying... do you want to leave the palace with me?"
"nature."
Xie Xi asked, "Do you still remember the Princess of Yan?"
"remember."
The Princess of Yan State had always had ill will towards her, so Lu Xiaoxiao naturally remembered her. However, when Xie Jin and Prince Su rebelled, the Princess of Yan State was involved. Wasn't she imprisoned by the Emperor on some pretext?
[Why did His Highness suddenly mention her again? ]
[Could it be that something happened to the Princess of Yan again? ]
Lu Xiaoxiao thought about it and wanted to open the system to take a look, but now that His Highness has brought it up, she might as well listen to His Highness first.
Xie Xi: "The Emperor of Yan sent 100,000 taels of gold as compensation, on the condition that Princess Yan be allowed to return home as soon as possible."
"One hundred thousand taels of gold?"
Lu Xiaoxiao said thoughtfully: "It seems that Princess Yan is quite valuable? But why is Emperor Yan so straightforward this time?"
"It's also a request for peace."
Xie Xi calmly told Lu Xiaoxiao about the situation on the other side of the border.
Previously, the Emperor of Yan sent troops to attack the border of Li State, but he never expected that the Northwest Army had already received the news and rushed to support in time, surrounding the Yan Army from front to back, causing the Yan Army to suffer many defeats and heavy losses. The Emperor of Yan knew that he could not afford to waste time, so he had no choice but to choose to make peace with Li State.
One hundred thousand taels of gold is more than just the "ransom" to redeem Princess Yan.
Lu Xiaoxiao blinked, looking puzzled: "So what does His Majesty mean...?"
[It's rare for the Emperor of Yan to take the initiative to seek peace. I'm sure Your Majesty will not settle this matter so easily, right? ]
[If it were me, I would definitely ask for a huge sum of money and give Emperor Yan a huge payout to teach him a lesson! ]
Xie Xi suppressed his smile, clenched his fist and coughed softly: "Father has not yet made a decision, I wonder if Xiaoxiao has any ideas?"
