Back to the manor, he met Zhou Ziming, the minister in charge of guarding the reservoir in the outskirts of the city, at the gate. He said that the reservoir in the eastern suburbs had had a leak this morning and was in the process of being remedied, but the hole was getting bigger and bigger, and it looked like the water level was going to rise soon.

Zhou Ziming said, "The Ministry of Industry, Minister Su, and Vice Minister Liu are both here. I couldn't think of any other way, so I sent my subordinate to look for His Highness." "If we really go down the river and end up with good land and bad land, something big will happen."

Morong Gan laughed bitterly, he had led his men to fight, and water treatment was now his problem.

He passed the item in his hand to the servant, "Take it in for my wangfei." He turned and mounted his horse, bringing Jia Tong and galloped towards the eastern suburbs.

The servant opened the jar curiously. Yo, a dark, shiny Oil Gourd. It seemed like the princess was favored by the court. When the prince went to court, he would buy her a toy to bring back. He quickly covered it and slipped back into the yard.

Before they reached the backyard, they ran into the Yang Liniang. This was brought by the wangfei herself and placed in the backyard. She reckoned that she would be the princess' future wife, so he quickly bowed and greeted, "Greetings, Miss Yang. Has Miss Yang ever seen a wangfei before? "

Yang Liniang did not dare to be rash in front of the Huailin Pavilion and the servants in the backyard, but in front of the other servants, she also understood a little bit. She straightened her back and swept her gaze over his face. "Why are you looking for an imperial concubine?"

"It's like this," the servant smiled. "Just now, the prince returned with a Oil Gourd that he asked this servant to give to his wife."

"Where is the prince?"

"The prince has important matters to attend to, so he didn't enter the palace in time. That's why he asked this servant to come over."

The Yang Liniang said, "Don't run, the Royal Concubine isn't in the backyard. She went for a stroll, but you couldn't find her.

The servant thought, 'That's right. The wangfei likes to wander around, and it's hard to find her even after a while. Why don't we give it to Miss Yang?' Then he handed the jar to Yang Liniang, "Miss Yang, be careful, don't let the Oil Gourd escape."

Yang Yu snorted in his heart, a Oil Gourd, it seems like that day's chitchat, Prince Chu remembered it in his heart. She was also a little confused now, did the Duke treat Bai Qianfan with pity, or did he really care about him? But now that the Oil Gourd was in her hands, she could do whatever he wanted with it.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely give it to Princess Hua-Yang."

Since Morong Gan was not here, she was not in the mood to go to Huailin Pavilion. He hastily rushed to the back garden where Bai Qianfan was just about to take a horse stance by the pond.

She waved the things in her hand. "Princess, quickly come and see, the Prince gave me a Oil Gourd."

Bai Qianfan was extremely playful, seeing that the incense was almost burnt up, she stood up angrily and ran over like a wisp of smoke, "Let me see, oh, what an elegant Oil Gourd, ah, it has wings in the middle of its tail, it's white, really beautiful."

She plucked a blade of grass from the side of the road to tease him. "Open your mouth and scream. Let your sister hear if your voice is bright or not."

The Yang Liniang found it funny. "The wangfei has a little sister chicken, and now there's a little Oil Gourd. Your family is getting stronger and stronger."

Bai Qianfan did not understand the slight derogatory tone in her words, and said in pleasant surprise, "Is it a female?" She grabbed it and looked at it carefully, but she couldn't tell what it was. "Whether it's male or female, I can't tell."

The Oil Gourd was completely alert and silent. Bai Qianfan played with it for a long time, but it did not make a sound. Bai Qianfan was a little dejected, "Does it know how to call me that? Your Highness shouldn't have bought a mute."

"The day when the Royal Concubine mentioned the Oil Gourd to the Duke, I thought that the Prince was giving it to her. I didn't expect him to give it to me."

Bai Qianfan was not surprised at all, "Of course it's for you, you're his wife, if you're the prince, then remember to buy you a small toy to prove that he cares about you, sister, do not be anxious, when we get the chance, I will mention it to her highness, it's exactly a title, and you can get the head butler to send you a few close servant girls, everything will be fine."

Yang Liniang had always felt that the relationship between master and servant of Moon Reaching Pavilion was a little strange, so she tried asking, "I see that esteemed wangfei's servants aren't that considerate either. Why don't you let the Prince give you a new batch? "

Bai Qianfan sighed: "I'm in a different situation than you, the Prince is still treating me well, but my family's matters are not something he would bother about."

"I heard that you were the one who accompanied the servants over. How come you have second thoughts about them?"

Bai Qianfan continued to use the grass leaves to tease the Oil Gourd, and said, "Every family has its own problems."

Since she mentioned it, Yang Liniang might as well ask for an explanation, "I heard that the Duke and Prime Minister Bai are not in harmony, is it true?"

This is not a secret, Bai Qianfan nodded her head, "I heard that they are enemies."

"Wouldn't it be hard for the princess to be stuck in the middle?"

Bai Qianfan laughed bitterly, "There is nothing difficult about it, it has nothing to do with me. "His Royal Highness is not an unreasonable person. He won't do anything to me."

The Yang Liniang was silent for a moment before asking directly, "Does the wangfei like the prince?"

Bai Qianfan thought for a while, "I can't really say whether I like him or not. Her Royal Highness is a kind-hearted person, he always reminds me of my Big Brother. When Big Brother was at home, she also helped me comb my hair. "

"In other words, the Crown Princess views the Prince as his elder brother."

"It should be the same." Bai Qianfan said, "If the prince has always been so good to me, staying here would also be a good choice."

Once she clearly understood the feelings Bai Qianfan had for the Duke, Yang Liniang heaved a sigh of relief. "But you are a wangfei and your husband."

Bai Qianfan laughed, "To be honest, Big Sister Yang, the relationship between the Duke and my father is like that of an enemy.

"Has the Prince hinted?"

"I don't need any hints from him. I know what I'm doing."

The Yang Liniang sighed in grief. "The wangfei is also a poor person!" She glanced at the Oil Gourd. "Let's play this for Princess Hua-Yang. I don't like it anyway."

Bai Qianfan was a little surprised, "This is a gift from the Duke, you don't want it?"

The Yang Liniang smiled embarrassedly. "To be honest, I'm most afraid of these insects.

Hearing her words, Bai Qianfan picked up the jar, "Then, I won't be polite." She plucked a fresh and tender leaf and placed it in a jar, telling the Oil Gourd to eat it, then said to herself, "Let me choose a name for you, what should I call you? "Since it's so dark, why don't we call it Little Black?"

She looked at it seriously, and suddenly Little Yellow walked over and stretched its neck towards the pot. Seeing that it was a bug, it subconsciously moved its mouth to peck at it.

Bai Qianfan hurriedly stopped it, "You are not allowed to eat it, she is your little sister, in the future, you all must love each other." She raised her head and asked Yang Liniang, "Isn't it too weird to have a chicken and insect as friends?"

The Yang Liniang covered her mouth and chuckled. "There's nothing to be surprised about coming to the consort's place."

Because she was afraid of being exposed, Yang Liniang found an excuse and asked Bai Qianfan to follow her to the Fallen Star Pavilion to play with the flowers. She didn't go to the Huailin Pavilion for the entire day.
