He was obviously holding back his anger in his heart, but when he returned to the manor, the first thing he said when he saw Hao Pingguan was: "Has the princess consort come over?"
Hao Pingguan saw that his expression was strange and carefully replied, "Not yet, this servant will go and invite the wangfei now."
"No need," he waved his hand, striding in with large strides. After taking a few steps, he asked again, "Won't the wangfei come over for dinner today?"
"He should be here. I heard the conversation between the wangfei and Qi Hong last night, and said that they wanted to try a new dish today. I reckon he'll be here soon."
Morong Gan did not say anything, he only walked two steps before calling for people to come over, "Prepare water, I want to take a bath."
"De Le, I know that the prince is going to take a bath now. When the water is ready early in the morning, I will tell them to be quick with their hands and feet." Hao Pingguan left in a hurry, but he did not ask Lv He to bathe in it. Instead, he sent Xiao Kuzi up to the Moon Reaching Pavilion to invite his Royal Consort.
So when Morong Gan finished his shower, he saw the little girl in the courtyard kicking the shuttlecock, her forehead shining with sweat. The corners of her mouth raised, her pair of eyes were big and bright, blinking up and down like the wings of a butterfly, it was truly beautiful when she flapped her wings.
Morong Gan looked on as he kicked a rock over, causing Bai Qianfan to stop in his tracks. He did not avoid the attack, but Bai Qianfan knew that he was the one who did it, and rushed over to hit him, "My prince, what are you trying to do, what are you trying to cause me trouble for?"
After being pushed around twice by her, Morong Gan felt all the pores on his body open up, probably because he had just finished showering and was basking in the sunlight, that was the feeling he got! In short, he was feeling extremely comfortable, after being pushed, he was not angry at all, but hiding and laughing as he moved, he laughed, and then swung his fist in front of him again, so that the Prince Chu, instead of fighting with the lady, naturally ran. Thus, under the gazes of everyone, saw Little Princess chasing after him through the courtyard, all of them opened their mouths wide in shock, their eyes wide open, as though they were following the movements of the two figures.
Hao Pingguan squinted at the sky. Did the sun rise from the west? Was he seeing things? Was he the one who had served the lord? Was it the Evil God that the people spoke of? He was usually so calm, how did he become like this when he was together with the Little Princess?
The two of them were running with a chick chasing them from behind. It fluttered its wings from time to time, appearing to be in a hurry.
Hearing Bai Qianfan's panting from behind, Morong Gan turned around and stopped his footsteps. Caught off guard, he ran over and immediately opened his arms wide to catch her, with a doting look on his face, "Look at you, you've ran all sweaty and went to take a bath. It feels great."
Bai Qianfan propped him up by his chest, took him out from his embrace, raised his sleeves to wipe his sweat, and was held down by him, "How come you don't look like a girl, is there anyone who can wipe their sweat like you?" He took his towel, lifted her chin with one hand, and carefully wiped the sweat away.
Bai Qianfan slightly narrowed her eyes, like a lazy cat, "I will remember you wiping my sweat for me, your highness, remembering for the rest of my life. Just like how Big Brother helped me comb my hair, I will remember this for the rest of my life. "
Morong Gan looked up, "I've never combed your hair before?"
"Yes, I remember your kindness towards me." Bai Qianfan said, "My prince, you are also sweating, let me wipe it off for you."
As she said that, she raised her sleeves once again. Morong Gan frowned, "Where is your handkerchief?"
Bai Qianfan laughed in embarrassment, "I forgot to mention, I left in such a hurry."
Morong Gan snorted, "Have you forgotten, this servant has forgotten too? Later on, let Hao Pingguan go over and give it a good beating. "
"It has nothing to do with them. If you put them on my clothes, I will take them off myself. When I left, I forgot." She took the towel from his hand and said, "You don't mind being dirty, I'll use this to wipe it for you."
Morong Gan snorted again, his meaning unclear. He himself didn't know why he would do so many such petty actions in front of Bai Qianfan. It probably meant that he wasn't someone who would be casual.
Bai Qianfan pulled his arm and pressed down, "You have to bend down, I can't reach you." She paused for a moment before praising, "Your highness is really tall. He really deserves the four words, 'standing erect in the heavens and on the earth'."
Prince Chu, who was praised, was very proud, "Of course, among the few brothers, I was the only one who rose so high, even the Emperor was shorter than me by half a head."
Bai Qianfan laughed: "Your highness is so tall, I need to use too much strength. It's already not bad for me to be able to get your shoulder in such a hurry."
Morong Gan looked down and sized her up. His shoulders, were probably done for, just reaching her chest now, he did not know how much longer it would take. He grabbed her by the waist and lifted her up. "How do you feel?"
Bai Qianfan pretended to look around and laughed, "Not bad, you've broadened your horizons."
When she spoke, her breath sprayed into his chin and neck, making him feel warm and whooshing with a hint of clean smell. Morong Gan swallowed hard and put her down, "Then hurry up and grow as long as you can."
"I have to eat more to grow faster." Bai Qianfan touched her waist, "I feel like I've grown some meat recently. Your highness, just now, I weighed it in my hand, did I get any heavier?"
Morong Gan: "I don't feel anything, it's light as a feather. I'm not worried about anything else, I'm just afraid that when the wind blows, it'll blow you away."
Bai Qianfan laughed out loud, "It would be great if it was like that, I want to go somewhere."
After Morong Gan heard this, his heart tensed up. Where do you want to go? Was she not satisfied with being here?
"Where do you want to go?"
"There are a lot of places I want to go to," Bai Qianfan counted on her fingers, "The first one to go to Jiangnan, I heard that it is a picturesque place with countless delicious things. "The houses are also beautifully built, and there's also the Wu Peng boat. You can sit and pick lotus blossoms …"
"Alright, I'll take you there."
"Huh?" Bai Qianfan was startled, she then thought that she had overtaken herself and laughed embarrassedly: "Prince, don't take it seriously, I was just saying it."
"What I've promised you, I'm not just saying it. When I'm free in the future, I'll definitely bring you there." He changed the subject, "But why is there no movement when you promised me?"
After enduring for so long, he finally couldn't hold it in anymore and decided to be frank. Otherwise, he would never be able to quell the fury in his heart.
Bai Qianfan did not understand. "What did I promise your highness?"
The corner of Morong Gan's mouth twitched, as if he felt wronged. "Where's the wager you promised me?"
Bai Qianfan blinked her eyes, "Didn't Your Highness say that there was no need for me to repay you? Furthermore, Prince thinks that my embroidery work is not good. I thought that Prince didn't like it, so I didn't embroider it for you. "
Morong Gan stood there in a daze, he did not even think about embroidering for him, let alone the fact that when her hands become bloody holes, he would embroider for others! Luckily, he was still thinking about him for so long … Really … This was so infuriating!
"Do you think it's rare for me to not embroider?" Prince Chu pulled back his sweat towel forcefully, turned around and left with a stern face.
Bai Qianfan looked at his back in a daze, "Everything is fine, why are you so temperamental now?"
