When the Prince Chu was not present, Bai Qianfan had nothing to worry about. She ate as she opened her mouth, thinking of Xiao Huang, she sent Yue Xiang back, "Today, when the Prince is not here, she brought Little Yellow here to take a look. It's been a while since he last came here to play."
Yue Xiang pursed her lips into a smile, agreed, and then returned back to the backyard.
After Bai Qianfan finished eating, he ate another cold porridge, rubbed her fat belly while carrying Little Yellow to eat. She had a hearty meal today, it had been a long time since she had eaten Big Sister Qi Hong's cooking, saying that she was not lying, but that she could not come, that she was too scared to death, and did not even have the heart to think about it anymore.
She hoped that Prince Chu would have a gathering every day so that she could sneak into Huailin Pavilion and eat heartily.
Satisfied, she burped and brought Little Yellow to the edge of the bamboo forest to look for bugs. In her hand was a small hoe, she dug at the fallen leaves on the ground, and when she did so, there would always be small earthworms jumping out from under the leaves, she shouted excitedly, "Little Yellow, come quickly, there's one here!"
Little Yellow had a tacit understanding. It waited for the earthworm to turn its body and peck with its sharp beak before swallowing it slowly.
One man and one chicken were playing around the edge of the bamboo forest with little bugs in their hands. They were having a lot of fun!
When Little Yellow was full, she took it and hopped back to the courtyard, but when she went in, she saw Morong Gan standing there. Bai Qianfan was like a frosted eggplant, he could not jump up immediately, but luckily Morong Gan did not notice her, so she immediately turned around and prepared to leave.
Hao Pingguan's voice suddenly came out, "Royal Concubine, you have returned."
Bai Qianfan complained incessantly. Head Steward was truly sinister, it seemed like he couldn't let himself be the punching bag today.
She turned around and saw Morong Gan looking at her. She laughed and then squatted down.
Morong Gan saw that her shoes were filthy and his skirt was stained with mud. He held a small hoe in his hand and could not help but frown and shout: "What the hell is this!"
Bai Qianfan trembled in fear, waiting for his anger to increase, but who knew that it did not. He turned around and instructed Hao Pingguan, his tone containing unconcealable disdain: "Get her cleaned up."
Hao Pingguan acknowledged, and turned to leave.
Bai Qianfan wanted to leave too, but his sharp eyes made her afraid to move. Little Yellow thought that they were still as good as ever and went over to Morong Gan's feet to peck at his shoes.
Bai Qianfan was so scared that his heart was thumping loudly. She called out to it in a small voice, "Little Yellow, come here, come here."
Xiao Huang pecked a few times, but seeing that Morong Gan did not react, it raised its head and looked to the east and west.
Bai Qianfan saw that Morong Gan had suddenly raised his leg, his mind was a complete blank, he did not care about anything else and rushed forward to grab onto his leg, "Your Highness, don't step on it, if you want to step on me, just do it!"
Morong Gan didn't want to step on Little Yellow, he only wanted to move his feet away, but Bai Qianfan suddenly pounced on him, surprising him, and almost threw him onto the ground.
He shook her off. "What are you doing?"
Bai Qianfan was only worried about Xiao Huang. Seeing that it was safe and sound, she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart and crawled up from the ground.
Morong Gan glared at her fiercely before turning back to the house.
When Qi Hong came out and saw her like this, she thought that the Duke had done something to her and almost cried. She carried her and went into her room to comfort her, saying, "It's alright, Princess, as long as you have a temper, it's fine."
Bai Qianfan was still a little confused, "Is this considered as having been sent before?"
Qi Hong thought, what else could she do since she had already brought you up to the ground.
When Bai Qianfan finished cleaning up, she wanted to go back. Hao Pingguan thought, the Duke is taking a nap, if he doesn't wake up and see the Royal Consort, will he get angry again? After thinking about it, he still had to keep Bai Qianfan here.
"Princess, why don't you take a nap? It's not too late to leave after dinner."
Bai Qianfan said: "I will go back to my Moon Reaching Pavilion to rest, and I won't come over for dinner. Head Steward, your highness has already vented his anger today, he won't scold you again, don't worry."
Hao Pingguan didn't feel awkward since she had already seen through his thoughts. He chuckled, "Since Your Highness didn't tell his to leave, then he can't leave. If you want to leave, then I won't be able to find you.
was not Hao Pingguan's match with any of these nonsense. She thought for a while and said, "I'll come over after Your Highness has finished his afternoon nap."
"Why are you running around? Your house is in the back. It would be better to take an afternoon nap there."
Lv He chimed in from the side, "That's right, Royal Concubine, let's listen to Head Steward. Look, as soon as you arrive, the Prince's face darkened. If you continue to be so dazed, perhaps the prince will have a smile on his face. "
In any case, Bai Qianfan didn't see anything wrong with it, so she was tied down by them and had no choice but to agree.
Morong Gan did not sleep at all. Instead, he leaned on the bed and started reading a book, after looking around for a while, he felt that the inside of the house was stuffy, so he walked towards the window. When he wanted to completely open the window, he saw movement inside the house.
He stood there in a daze.
Without a doubt, the one in the room was Bai Qianfan. He did not expect that she did not leave and instead stayed, in the room opposite to his.
After seeing her for the past two days, he had been able to maintain a calm heart. Instead of seeing her, he couldn't suppress the evil fire in his heart. He knew that this wasn't a good omen.
He had decided to sever all ties of love, but his mind was still on her. Seeing her angry, not seeing her angry made him feel even more baffled. He had never felt so complicated before.
Thinking back to the time with Pearl... In fact, they had never been together before. At that time, they were still young and knew that they were engaged to each other, so there was nothing to be embarrassed about meeting each other due to their familiarity. She called him Third Brother and he called her Zhu Er. They spoke together, they rode together, they never quarrelled, he never got angry, every time they played together there would be other people, the crown prince, and the other brothers, but in the blink of an eye, everything changed …
He sighed and came back to his senses.
He got up, and without calling for anyone else, he walked into the inner hall with his soft shoes on. Bai Qianfan's house had no one outside, she was not used to being closely guarded, she did not need to stay at night, and she did not need to follow him when she went out.
After he entered through the curtain, the little girl was sleeping soundly on the bed. Because she had been washed, her face was white and clean, her face indifferent. No matter how he looked at it, she wasn't some heavenly beauty, but something that moved his heart.
He stood beside the bed for a long time, listening to her light breathing. He must have been scared by her breathing for the past few days, so he frowned again.
Looking at her at such a close distance, her face seemed all the more transparent and lustrous. His gaze fell on her lips, which were pink, slightly pouting.
He swallowed, straightened up, and walked out of the room.
The moment the curtain closed, Bai Qianfan opened her eyes and heaved a sigh of relief.
