Bai Qianfan woke up very early the next morning and calculated the time, but before the hour was up, he was already waiting by the side of the road. After waiting for a while, she saw Morong Gan carrying two guards and jumped onto the horse, pulling on the reins as she headed to the main entrance.
Normally, the cautious and prudent person would definitely not do something dangerous when they were in danger. However, Qi Hong and the Sophora Flower Pancake were too attractive and she was unable to resist them. All she wanted to do was to stay by Qi Hong's side, even if it would help her do something.
She knew the way out even though it was dark and she couldn't see anything clearly. However, she managed to find Qi Hong's room smoothly and knocked on the door softly, "Sister, sister, I'm coming."
The one who opened the door was Lv He, and upon seeing her raise her eyebrows, she said, "Heh, the wangfei sure is early, you're looking for the prince, but unfortunately, the prince just left, if you run fast you might even be able to catch up."
Bai Qianfan was a little afraid of Lv He, as this head servant girl had a strong mouth, she was not going to forgive him, and was not as easy to talk to as Big Sister Qi Hong.
Since she was young, she had been used to being bullied by the slaves. She bent down and smiled, "Good morning Sister Lv He, I'm here to look for Sister Qi Hong."
Lv He blocked the way, and did not plan to let her in, "Why are you looking for her?"
Bai Qianzhang licked his lips, revealing a row of small teeth. "Elder sister said that she will make a Sophora Flower Pie today and asked me to help." She said a lie with a straight face and a straight face.
Lv He raised her eyebrows, "Qi Hong said that? How dare she ask an imperial concubine to make a biscuit? "
"No, I took the initiative to ask for it. I also want to learn how to do it."
When Qi Hong had finished cleaning up in Morong Gan's room, she saw Bai Qianfan at the door of his own room, and was just about to be pushed aside by Lv He. She was shocked, "Esteemed wangfei, you came really early."
When Bai Qianfan saw her, she immediately smiled until her eyes became slits, then affectionately came over and pulled her hand, "Good morning, elder sister. Have you eaten breakfast yet?"
Qi Hong said, "It's still useless to keep Master close to the door, has the wangfei eaten yet?"
"I specifically came to accompany Big Sister for breakfast," Bai Qianfan said as she held her arm. "I haven't washed yesterday's clothes, so I'll bring them over to Big Sister after I've washed."
"It's fine. If you like her, then stay behind. If you don't like her, then just send her over."
Lv He saw that they were talking and laughing, and sighed: "Qi Hong, our Huailin Pavilion has rules, not just anyone can come. I advise you to just let the princess go back.
Qi Hong was in a bit of a difficult situation, she was not worried about herself, she was afraid of letting the Duke know, that it would harm the Little Princess. But when Bai Qianfan came running over early in the morning and looked at her expectantly, she couldn't say anything.
Bai Qianfan was very insistent on what she thought was right now. Of course she was afraid of Morong Gan, but since he was not here, she did not need to worry about him. In the end, she still carried the title of Royal Consort and refused to leave.
"Sister Lv He, I'm the prince's new wife. Can't a wife come to my husband's courtyard?"
The new wife was said by Lv He herself last night, she did not expect Bai Qianfan to use such words to stop her, if she were to really cause a ruckus in front of the prince and reveal what she had said, she would not be able to bear the consequences.
She grinded her teeth as she looked at the pitiful young girl.
Seeing that the atmosphere had tensed up, Qi Hong tried to smooth things over. "Alright, it's time to eat breakfast. Seeing Lv He standing there motionlessly, she stepped forward to persuade him, "You too, why are you fighting with a child? She is the Crown Princess, the prince's official wife, so please save some face for her."
Lv He was not used to her acting as a good person, "I am doing this for your own good.
"Since I know that you're doing this for my own good, I'll put your feelings at stake. Why don't we take this as an example next time?" Qi Hong coaxed Lv He, half pushing and half pulling her away as she entered the house like a small tail.
Qi Hong brought Bai Qianfan his breakfast. Rice porridge, pickled vegetables, and a plate of small soup dumplings.
Bai Qianfan's eyes lit up. Having a hot bite to eat is awesome, looking at the steam rising, and the fragrance rushing into her nose, she nodded her head quickly. "Very good, very good, I like it." As she spoke, she reached out her hand to pinch a small dumpling and stuffed it into her mouth impatiently.
She hadn't eaten hot food in a long time, so she might have forgotten how to heat it up. Once she bit it off, the hot soup flowed out, causing her to cry out" "Oh!"
Qi Hong was shocked, and immediately drank a cup of cold water, "Spit it out quickly, and cool it down with cold water."
Bai Qianfan could not bear to let go of the meat, it was too fragrant, there was no reason for her to vomit. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath, then said vaguely, "No silk, after a while, the soup will stop."
Seeing her miserable state, Lv He covered her mouth and laughed, "Royal Concubine, your tongue is already scalding hot, why don't you just swallow and chew it!"
Qi Hong hit her, "You don't have to care about your wangfei, you still dare to make sarcastic remarks."
Bai Qianfan exhaled a few times, and slowly started to feel better, but her tongue was a little numb, dull, and unable to speak quickly. She did not say a word and only focused on eating, using her bright smile to praise Qi Hong's culinary skills.
Qi Hong saw her giggling as she looked at him, and she was unknowingly amused, "Princess Consort, why are you always looking at this servant?"
"Elder sister is beautiful, oh I want to tie a man, oh I'm going elder sister."
Hearing her strange words, Lv He laughed even harder, she smacked her shoulders and whispered, "Our master marrying this is not bad, it's good to use it to tease me."
Qi Hong rolled his eyes at her, "Stop bullshitting. What are you joking about?
Lv He snorted, "You think she's an imperial concubine? Who in the mansion thinks anything of her?"
Bai Qianfan ate hurriedly first because she was used to it, but then she deliberately slowed down, as if she was enjoying her leisure. From time to time, she would smack her lips and savor the aftertaste. Even the pickled vegetables felt that they were extremely tasty, so she asked Qi Hong, "Elder sister, did you also make this yourself?"
"Yes, your highness likes it. It's made every year."
"You can also teach me later. When there's no food, it's best to bring it to me."
Qi Hong didn't understand what it meant by "when there's no food". As an imperial concubine, even if Bai Qianfan wasn't liked her, she would still eat and dress up properly. However, she didn't take it to heart and said, "Royal Concubine likes to eat, she'll take some over later.
The two of them were talking, and it was unknown when Lv He had walked out of the house, but she was speaking to someone at the door, "Head Steward is here?"
Qi Hong was shocked, and subconsciously looked at Bai Qianfan. Little Princess, on the other hand, looked calm, picked up a small piece of pickled vegetables and slowly chewed them.
