C133 Free access to and from the palace

Morong Gan coughed even more violently. It was practically pounding his chest and stomping his feet, which gave Bai Qianfan a fright. He quickly went over and patted his back: "Prince, what happened?"

Mo Rong secretly glanced at the emperor with a guilty conscience. Halfway through, he intercepted the tribute. It was not a small matter, but at least it didn't seem like much to him. Just a few rows of grapes. Every year, envoys from small countries would pay tribute to him. It was a rare occasion for him to come here, but he always had a caravan installed. Besides sending it to the palace, he also had to be a few powerful ministers. However, the sudden mention of it made him feel somewhat awkward.

"Where did the wangfei eat her milk? It's not for sale in the capital, it's a special product of Fu Fan. Yesterday, there were only a few waffling envoys who came to pay their respects, but none of them sold that.

The Queen noticed something strange and laughed: "Noble Consort remembered wrongly, what I like to eat is lychee and longan from the south. "In the past, I gave him a lot of food, but after eating for a while, I couldn't bear to let him go. I only wanted to have a taste and only had time to look forward to the coming year."

The Imperial Consort Bai bit on the grapes and only asked Bai Qianfan: "Where did you get the wangfei? I also sent people to get some."

Bai Qianfan was a simple person, but she had thought of an excuse. "Royal Brother, I have to explain to you, my younger brother."

The emperor casually waved his hand. "I know it's nothing. It's just a bunch of grapes."

The Imperial Consort Bai pretended to only know then, and said in shock: "So the milk that Princess Chu has eaten is the tribute of Tuo Fan, why haven't you entered the palace yet?"

The empress sighed in her heart. She was too impatient, her cultivation was still shallow compared to her father.

The emperor also frowned slightly. They were all intelligent people, it would be fine if they just asked a few questions, but if they were to spread it out, it would actually make things difficult for them. He slightly smiled, "I know about this matter. Originally, the amount was very little, and since it's difficult to distribute among the palace, it's good to reward Princess Chu."

"Your majesty, since everyone is here, why not go to chenqie's place for a meal. Your majesty and Prince Chu haven't had a drink together for a long time, so chenqie and Princess Chu got along well and also wanted to invite her to Chenqie's palace to play."

The emperor then said, "Since the empress has invited us, third brother, third sister, shall go take a seat."

The Emperor spoke out, but Morong Gan did not know what to say. He nodded and left this place.

Imperial Consort Bai watched as they left, so angry that she threw her teacup. She had meticulously planned for so long, how could this be the result? Why wasn't the emperor angry? Why didn't he punish them? Even a few curses would have been fine. How could he pass it so easily?

After arriving at the Phoenix Cry Palace, the Queen ordered for a meal as the four of them sat around the table. As the emperor was present, the dishes were more numerous than usual, and there were a large group of people standing behind him. Bai Qianfan was somewhat unaccustomed to it, as she was used to being invisible. There were so many rules and regulations, she didn't know what to do, so she decided to not change the situation and only eat the dishes in front of her. She couldn't speak, she couldn't make any noise, she even drank the soup silently.

The Queen didn't eat much, but after a while, she put down her chopsticks. Palace Maid went up and passed a warm towel to her to wipe her hands.

The Queen stopped her chopsticks, and Bai Qianfan dared not eat anymore, taking small sips of the Fruit Nectar and sipping it.

The Queen asked with a smile, "Are the dishes still suitable for the Princess Chu?"

Bai Qianfan didn't even know what she had eaten. In any case, it wasn't as delicious as what Qi Hong had cooked.

"If you feel good, come by often. Speak up, and accompany me. What do you say, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing the Queen's question, he immediately said, "I have given the decree that Princess Chu can freely enter and leave the palace from now on. Whether it's to see the Noble Consort or to come to the Empress's place, it's all fine."

Bai Qianfan was still sitting there foolishly, but Morong Gan secretly pinched her, causing her to make an 'oh' sound. She stood up and squatted down as a blessing, "Thank you, your majesty the Emperor."

"There's no need to be so courteous. I've said that we're all family. Don't look at the palace doors but it's actually convenient for the royal concubine to come." To talk with the empress, to relieve fatigue, and to be close to each other as my sister-in-law. "

When Bai Qianfan heard the word "sister-in-law" come out of the emperor's mouth, she felt really close to him. If not for these complicated rules, they really would have a very close relationship. The emperor was the eldest and the empress was the eldest sister-in-law. There was no need to be worried or hiding anything, that was good indeed.

The emperor seemed refined, but his majesty was still there. The empress did not put on airs, she was kind to people, and when she smiled, she was kind. Due to her poor health, she always appeared to be weak and delicate. Bai Qianfan had a good impression of her, she was much better than Imperial Consort Bai.

Her cup was empty, so when no one gave her any fruit dew, she just came herself, and took the things in between, causing them to jingle. Everyone's gaze turned to look at her, and she became even more flustered, she almost dropped the cup.

Bai Qianfan said, "This isn't wine."

The empress laughed. "Although it's not wine, it's easy to get drunk if you drink too much. I've seen Princess Hua-jie drink quite a bit today, so I'm afraid he'll fall asleep after returning to the estate."

Morong Gan took the chance to leave. "Royal Brother, Royal Sister-in-law, Royal Consort isn't a problem to me, I don't want to get drunk and make things difficult for you. Chendi will take her back first."

The emperor seemed very happy that he had almost finished his meal. He nodded and said, "Since that's the case, you can take the wangfei back first and let her visit often in the future."

Morong Gan and Bai Qianfan saluted and the two of them came out of the Phoenix Cry Palace. Someone had arranged for Bai Qianfan's shoulder to be moved from the front and back, as they walked towards the palace gate.

Reaching the door, the two of them went down to the ground. Bai Qianfan seemed to have something heavy on her mind, she gloomily followed beside Morong Gan without saying a word.

Morong Gan also looked to be deep in thought, and did not pay much attention to her. The palanquin that was sent over was still waiting outside the palace, Morong Gan sent her to a palanquin, then got on his horse and slowly headed towards the Prince Chu Mansion.

When they reached the residence, the palanquin had already been lifted up to the Huailin Pavilion level. When Qi Hong came over to take a look, she found that Bai Qianfan had already fallen asleep.

She gestured towards Morong Gan that she was sleeping, but he waved his hand, signalling for her not to scratch. He walked over and picked her up and carried her into the house.

Bai Qianfan slept light as he woke up from her daze and rubbed her eyes, "You're here?"

Morong Gan saw that she was yawning so much that he couldn't even open his eyes, and said, "You sleep, I'll carry you to your bed."

He carried Bai Qianfan into his bedroom and carefully placed him on the bed. Then, he quietly helped her take off her shoes and covered her with a blanket. The little girl made a noise as she turned over and fell asleep.

Morong Gan sat down at the side and thought about what had happened today. His brows furrowed as he thought about it; Was it the Imperial Consort Bai's idea, or was it the Emperor's arrangement?

The person on the bed groaned and turned around. Her cheeks were red and her lips were even more colorful than usual. She probably kicked off the blanket due to the heat.

Morong Gan walked over and gently touched her forehead. He was indeed sweating, he lifted the quilt, untied her belt, and opened her outer robes a little wider. Although her summer clothes were thin, it was still unbearable to wrap them in so many layers.

When he started, she knew she was going to do it. She closed her eyes and took off her clothes.

Two tiny arms and two tiny legs protruded from a pile of fine embroidery. His slender neck and snow-white shoulders were also exposed.

Her breath was light and full of the scent of fruit dew. Even the air was tainted by it. It smelled faintly sweet.

Morong Gan bent his waist and looked at her carefully. He saw her face slowly enlarging in front of him and unknowingly got so close to him that all of her Qi was sprayed onto his face.
