Bai Qianfan hurriedly nodded her head, she was previously trapped in Prime Minister Bai's Mansion so she had no chance of going out. After entering the Prince Chu Palace, it was the first time she went out today, she really liked it here. She did not need to look at anyone's face, and she did not need to worry about being hurt.
The reason why Morong Gan was so merciful was because she had been beaten up in the palace and the person he brought had suffered a grievance, it was because he had not taken good care of his. Although he had punished Madame Bai, Bai Qianfan had already suffered, he decided to give her some compensation, just like how he promised to comb her hair and now agreed to let her shop.
The distance from here to Prince Chu Palace was not too far, so Morong Gan asked Jia Tong and the Bridge Faction to return. Ning Jiu stayed behind, and the three of them strolled around while returning.
When Bai Qianfan got to this place, she was like a fish in water, she joyously squeezed into the crowd. She spent a small amount of money to buy egg pancakes and treat Morong Gan and Ning Jiu to eat.
The two men frowned to indicate that they didn't want it. She didn't force him, but held them happily in her hands. The three of them stacked together, bit down, and took a month's worth of bite. She laughed until her eyes became like slits.
The snacks outside were not necessarily better than the snacks that Qi Hong cooked, it was purely this carefree feeling, it was not tasty, and had become tasty. She ate her egg pancakes and stood among the people playing with the big sabre for a while. Then, she threw a copper coin and an eight or nine-year-old girl with a ponytail came over and bowed towards her. Bai Qianfan was a little embarrassed as she took out a silver coin from her pocket and threw it into the jar.
Morong Gan would ride through the streets everyday. When he didn't feel anything good about the streets, he felt that it was too noisy and chaotic. He stood in front of a painting stall and watched with his hands behind his back. He felt that it was meaningless, so he greeted Ning Jiu and said that he would go back first.
While they were talking, a commotion broke out in front of them, as if someone was shouting to capture the thief. A woman's voice cried out miserably, "God damn the little thief, that's my dad's money for grabbing the medicine. Stop! Stop! Catch him! Hurry and catch him!"
Morong Gan was the nosy one, he raised his chin towards Ning Jiu and said, "Go chase them."
Many of them followed to watch the show, pushing Morong Gan to the side of the road. He steadied his feet, stretched his neck to take a look, there were too many people around, so he was unable to see what was happening. He could only hear that the voices were getting further and further away, probably chasing after them.
He was responsible for the safety of the feet of the Son of Heaven, no matter how small or trivial, but when he saw it, he had to take care of it. With Ning Jiu coming out, it should not be a problem. He remembered Bai Qianfan, and turned his head to glance at the blade wielding men, eh? He looked around seriously, but he saw that there was no Bai Qianfan in the crowd. She was still as passionate as before, but there was no Bai Qianfan at all.
He felt that it was weird, why did he not say anything when the little girl had walked far away. He walked forward along the road, all the way until he reached the entrance of Prince Chu Palace.
Seeing him, she immediately went up to Qian'er and greeted him, "Your Highness has returned."
Morong Gan asked, "Has the princess consort returned?"
On the way out, she was sitting in a sedan chair, and he wanted to take a look at her, but he didn't see her. Now that the prince had asked, he hesitated a little and carefully recalled that three women had entered the room in the morning, one was a washerwoman, one was a new cook, and the other was a maid who had come back from the entrance.
"Reporting to Your Highness, I haven't seen an Imperial Consort."
Morong Gan did not mind, he knew that the little girl herself should have returned, as she was not far away from his house. With his hands behind his back, he casually entered the mansion.
After a while, Ning Jiu came back, saying that he caught the little thief and sent him to the yamen.
Morong Gan acknowledged, and waved him off, yawning and wanting to take a nap.
Lv He bent her waist as she smoked. Qi Hong served him as she took off her clothes, and because sshe was worried about Bai Qianfan, he asked, "Master, the wangfei didn't come back with me?"
Morong Gan lazily sat down on the side of the bed and said, "She's watching a show on the street. Ifhe's done, she'll naturally come back."
Qi Hong still wanted to speak, but seeing his tired expression, she probably drank some wine at the Spring Festival Gala, now that she had gone, her face turned red. She could only swallow the words that were on her lips, but she was at a loss of whether to laugh or to cry, who would ask her husband to leave her wife alone on the streets, even if he did not accompany her, he would send a servant to accompany him, just in case Little Princess wanted to buy something, someone would have to take it for them.
After Morong Gan fell asleep, she retreated out of the house, thought for a bit, then ran to Head Steward.
Hao Pingguan had suffered a few setbacks in connection with the Little Princess, so he remained cautious. After he heard Qi Hong's words, he started muttering in his heart: It was the prince who threw Little Princess onto the street. Master did not say anything, if he found the person without permission, it would be inappropriate, the prince's attitude towards the Little Princess is still unclear, it would be better for him to not cause trouble.
"Miss Qi Hong, it's rare for Princess Hua-Yang to go out to play. I see that Prince's intention is for Princess Hua-Yang to have a good time, why not send someone to look for Princess Hua-Yang later?"
Qi Hong thought that it was strange. "We just let the wangfei stay outside alone, not sending anyone to serve her?"
To be honest, those servants don't think much of her, and the Prince knows that even if he doesn't care, it's not good for him to interfere. After all, the Royal Concubine is a young miss of the Prime Minister Bai's Mansion, so no one knows what the Prince is thinking.
Qi Hong heard from Head Steward that without the orders of the Duke, he did not plan to send people out to find the Little Princess. But the prince had gone to sleep. Without any urgent matters, no one dared to scratch him.
When he looked up, Ning Jiu was already standing in the hallway. She walked over and asked, "Ning Jiu, when you came back, did you see the wangfei?"
Ning Jiu was a little surprised, "She did not come back with you?"
Qi Hong shook her head, "No, I said that she was watching acrobatics on the streets. It's almost time for the competition, and I haven't seen her return."
Ning Jiu said, "Tell the Head Steward to send someone to look for it."
"I was just talking about it with him over there, but Head Steward meant it, if the Prince did not say anything, it would be hard for him to send the people there."
Ning Jiu frowned: "I'm afraid that Head Steward wants to suffer a setback again." He raised his head and looked at the sky, "I'll ask Jia Tong to go out and search."
Qi Hong frowned slightly as she spread it out, "Thank you, Ning Jiu."
Ning Jiu's expression was indifferent. "Why are you thanking me? Wangfei is everyone's wangfei, not just you."
Lv He came out from behind the curtain and heard their conversation, "What are you looking for? The wangfei might have returned to Moon Reaching Pavilion long ago, you just need to send someone to ask around."
Qi Hong thought that it was true. If the Little Princess did not use her Huailin Pavilion, perhaps he would have gone back to her Moon Reaching Pavilion. She sent the little girl there to gather information.
Some said that they did not see Bai Qianfan, while some said that they might have gone to the garden. The little girl wandered around in the backyard for a long time, and only when the sky was about to turn dark did she report back to Huailin Pavilion. She was also not sure if Bai Qianfan had returned. Thus, she transferred over the words of the Moon Reaching Pavilion Servant Girl, saying that the wangfei had gone for a stroll in the garden and did not see him.
Qi Hong thought that Bai Qianfan had returned to her residence so she didn't think too much about it.
