Chapter 319 What are you thinking about
Xiao Zhengdu looked very unhappy when he came out from the Queen.
The palace said that it was because King Hanhai was seriously ill, and His Royal Highness King Youshan was very worried because of his deep brotherly love.
But Xiao Zhengdu knew that he was not.
Of course he was worried about Xiao Zhengze, but more importantly he was jealous,
But what is there to be jealous of?
He didn't want to watch Lou Xiao and Xiao Zhengze being so affectionate anymore. He knew that Xiao Zhengze was very proud now and had firmly grasped Lou Xiao. He must not want to be separated from her for even a moment.
The relationship between him and Lou Xiao had just begun, but it died halfway, and he couldn't blame anyone.
Feeling depressed, Xiao Zhengdu was perfunctory when he met someone who was greeting him.
Then he saw Li Huaiqing, and Xiao Zhengdu stopped him, thinking that how could he be the only one suffering, Li Huaiqing should also be in pain like him.
"Your Highness, why are you stopping me? Is there something important?"
The two came to a deserted pavilion and tacitly asked the servants to leave.
Without Xiao Zhengdu saying anything, Li Huaiqing sat down like a host and poured hot tea for the two of them, "Please."
This means treating Xiao Zhengdu as a guest.
Xiao Zhengdu couldn't stand Li Huaiqing's tricks, but the fragrance of tea was overflowing, and it was indeed a rare good tea.
He picked up the teacup but did not drink it. He put it between his mouth and nose and sniffed it, saying nonchalantly,
"You seem to be at ease, as if you are always calm and at ease, and don't worry about anything."
Li Huaiqing smiled and said, "Your Highness is too kind. I am a human being, not a piece of wood. I will always get anxious and worried sometimes."
He vaguely heard the rumors in the palace, "Your Highness looks worried, is it because His Highness King Hanhai is sick?"
Xiao Zhengdu took a sip of tea and sighed, "This is really good tea."
After taking a sip, he put it down and said, "You are indeed well-informed. He is sick again."
Just one word "again" shows how fragile Xiao Zhengze has always been.
"Your Highness is weak, he will be fine after some rest, it's not a big deal."
Everyone knows about Xiao Zhengze's health. He gets sick every time, but he will recover soon under the careful care of the imperial physician.
But he didn't expect that this time it would be different.
Youshan King Xiao Zhengdu sneered, "It seems that everyone knows... Your Majesty loves him. He always refuses to take the medicine, and only agrees to do so after Your Majesty asks for this and that."
Li Huaiqing was at a loss for words. It was not convenient for him to speak about other people's royal affairs.
Li Huaiqing didn't come to complain to him, so he just interrupted the topic.
"This time, he asked His Majesty for something again. I was very unhappy, so I wanted you to be unhappy too."
He was too straightforward, curling his lips and said, "He asked His Majesty for a marriage with Lou Xiao."
Li Huaiqing paused, his expression changed for a few moments, but he soon calmed down, put down the tea bowl in his hand,
"What does this have to do with me? Your Highness wants me to be unhappy, but it seems you have miscalculated."
Xiao Zhengdu smiled wryly, "Really? It's okay?"
He took out the jade pendant that had been in his pocket for a long time and placed it on the table under Li Huaiqing's cold gaze.
She pointed at the side of the jade pendant, signaling him to look more carefully, "If I remember correctly, this is the jade pendant that you carry with you, Li Huaiqing, right? Is it okay?"
They both knew the other's thoughts very well, but Li Huaiqing just refused to admit it.
"A jade pendant is just a jade pendant. I have countless jade pendants at home. Your Highness, do you think they are my personal jade pendants?"
Looking at the stubborn Li Huaiqing in front of him, Xiao Zhengdu's original intention to humiliate him came back.
So he told me how he got it.
"Aren't you curious about how it ended up in my hand? Li Huaiqing, you are a man of deep thoughts. You thought that giving the jade pendant to the other party meant that you would be together for life, but Lou Xiao doesn't buy it."
He laughed whenever he thought of Li Huaiqing winking at the blind man. "I guess you said at the beginning that you wanted her to keep it for you, thinking that after a while, she would understand your intentions. But she didn't understand."
Xiao Zhengdu picked up the jade pendant, threw it up and caught it again.
'"If you tell her that you are keeping it for safekeeping, she will really think that it is for safekeeping, thinking that she will return it to you one day.
As soon as I said I would pay it back to you, she confidently handed it over to me. "
He also used this opportunity to tell him that he was more important than him in Lou Xiao's heart.
Li Huaiqing's eyes fell on the jade pendant, his brows were cold,
"Your Highness, if you like to keep it, then you can. The Li family is wealthy and powerful, and I don't care much about this jade pendant."
Xiao Zhengdu held it in his palm, "Really? I don't care." He wanted to crush it in front of him, but changed his mind halfway.
"It's a pity that such a good jade pendant was destroyed by me. The Li family is so rich that they don't care about this jade pendant, so I will be a good person and give it to the cripple on the street."
If someone saw that Li Huaiqing's personal jade pendant fell into the hands of a disabled person,
No matter how innocent he is, he can no longer be innocent.
"Wait a minute," Xiao Zhengdu raised his lips proudly as Li Huaiqing spoke.
"Your Highness wanted to make this humble official unhappy. I have to say that Your Highness has done it."
Li Huaiqing values his reputation very much and will never allow the jade pendant to fall into the hands of lowly people.
"Is it just the jade pendant that makes you sad? Lou Xiao said in person that she is willing to marry Xiao Zhengze, right in front of your majesty."
Did she say it herself?
Li Huaiqing quickly responded, "Your Highness, there is no need to keep testing me. I feel that you are the saddest one."
After he finished speaking, he immediately felt a murderous intent around him. Xiao Zhengdu knew that he had been hit on the mark, and he became angry and embarrassed.
"How can this king be sad!"
But you seem to care a lot.
Li Huaiqing didn't really not care, he just kept his composure.
Lou Xiao is going to marry Xiao Zhengze? He was indeed shocked at first, but he was not so sad that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
Xiao Zhengze's heart and eyes are full of Lou Xiao, but how long does he have to live?
"Has His Majesty issued an order? What is the auspicious date?"
Xiao Zhengdu frowned, “The Ministry of Rites will be ready soon, but the most favored prince of the royal family will have to wait two or three years if they want to hold a wedding.
Li Huaiqing looked calm, "It's still early, things haven't been decided yet, I really have nothing to be sad about."
Xiao Zhengdu also came to his senses at this time. No matter how anxious Xiao Zhengze was, some steps in the marriage would not be simplified.
And two or three years later——
No one knows what will happen next.
Li Huaiqing reached out and took the jade pendant from Xiao Zhengdu, and after examining it carefully, he realized that it belonged to him.
He smiled and said,
"I am not angry. I wish them the best. The Duke of Zhenguo has been single until now, and it is indeed time for someone to take care of him. I think His Royal Highness the King of Hanhai will indeed be a good husband. Don't you agree, His Royal Highness the King of Youshan?"
Xiao Zhengdu stared at him in a daze and said speechlessly, "Li Huaiqing, what on earth are you thinking about?"
