C162 Probing

Xiu Yuanshuang arrived at the Moon Reaching Pavilion early in the morning, saying that she wanted to accompany Princess Wangfei for breakfast. Bai Qianfan naturally wished that she could grow up alone. She would be happy if someone was willing to be her friend.

Yue Xiang had stayed in the Duke Palace for a long time, so she naturally knew the purpose of Xiu Yuanshuang's visit. On the surface, it looked like she was smiling, but she was feeling a little disdainful in her heart.

Bai Qianfan's breakfast was placed on the table. A bowl of rice porridge and two simple buns. When they were favored, the servants would greet Bai Qianfan with unusual enthusiasm, and when they saw him from afar, they would greet him with respect. Furthermore, it wasn't just eating from afar, as she could choose from the meatbuns, soup dumplings, silver rolls, chopped onion, coquettish and so forth. There was also rice porridge, bean juice, egg oars, rice milk, etc. When he lost her favour, the standard naturally fell.

Fortunately, Xiuyuan Cream brought her breakfast. The silver silk roll was sold by chance, and it had enough egg oars and soy sauce for two or three people. As Xiuyuan Cream was a lady of a noble family, she only ate seventy percent of her fill, so she just picked up the silver silk roll and ate a bowl of egg oars.

Bai Qianfan was different, she had a big appetite and couldn't afford to waste it, so she tried to finish what she could. In reality, this idea was nothing difficult for her.

Seeing that she was eating excitedly, Xiu Yuanshuang asked while pretending to be uninterested: "I heard that the princes ate at your place yesterday?"

"Yes," Bai Qianfan bit her lips, and vaguely replied. "I had eaten a lot of food at his place before, and he asked me to return it." After swallowing down the food in her mouth, she suddenly laughed, "Actually I took a big advantage over him. Huailin Pavilion's food is so delicious, how can the kitchen in the front yard compare to it?

Xiu Yuanshuang caught hold of the core question, "If the Duke wants you to return it, doesn't that mean that you'll have to eat at his place for many days straight?"

"Of course not," Bai Qianfan said as she picked up the soy milk and took a sip, "The prince has just casually said that he doesn't want the dishes cooked by Big Sister Qi Hong, isn't it stupid for Barbara to come over to my place to eat?"

Xiu Yuanshuang probed, "Have the wangfei and the prince reconciled yet?"

Bai Qianzhang nodded. "Your highness meant that, but he might change one day. You probably don't know, your highness is a bit temperamental, for a moment good, for a moment bad, I don't care, I'm good, I accept, I don't care, I also accept. In any case, I'm going out in the future.

Bai Qianfan's attitude surprised Xiu Yuanshuang greatly. She did not seem to have any intentions in that regard towards the Prince Chu, "You're going to go out even after making up with her?"

"Of course, because of my father, the prince won't let me stay for long. He said that he will break off relations with me in the future and find a husband for me."

Xiu Yuanshuang was overjoyed, "Does Your Highness really say that?"

"Of course it's true. When the prince is well, he is willing to treat me like a little sister."

"What about bad times?"

"Then that's the enemy."

Xiu Yuanshuang laughed, "You sure are open-minded."

"Or else, this is the Prince Chu Palace, everything will be decided by the Duke."

Xiu Yuanshuang then asked, "What is the Prince doing, staying here for so long?"

"Nothing much, just talking."

Xiu Yuanshuang laughed dryly, "Why do I feel that Prince does not seem to be someone who likes to talk?

"I probably thought that he treated me badly in the past and wanted to build a good relationship with me, so he kept blabbering on and on."

Xiu Yuanshuang heard her nagging about Morong Gan and felt it was kind of funny, but since Bai Qianfan said it like that, she could rest assured. Everything had not changed, Bai Qianfan would still leave the house, and she would still have the chance to support him in her position in the Crown Princess.

Since the prince thought of her as a little girl, she had to do the same. She looked around the room and said, "It's getting hot, the house's going to have ice pots placed on top. Tomorrow, I'll get someone to bring the ice pots over to my wife."

Bai Qianfan beamed, "Aiyo, that's great. I was feeling the heat and couldn't even take a nap. Yue Xiang fanned me, and sweat came out all over her forehead.

Yue Xiang said, "Royal Concubine, quickly stop talking about this. I'm sweating profusely, why don't you give me a slap later on?"

When Xiu Yuanshuang heard this, the servant girl's face grew big enough to be slapped by the royal consort. She became stern, "How dare you let your master slap you, you want the prince to know about this, what's wrong with that?"

Yue Xiang was shocked, the Lateral Princess was the manager of the house, for a moment she had leaked her mouth, and she had caught his conversation, this time it was bad.

Bai Qianfan tried to smooth things over: "It's not her fault, it's me. She served me well."

Xiu Yuanshuang said: "Royal Consort, you are good at everything, except being too domineering towards your servants, repaying them with favors, returning them back to their masters for rules and regulations, the Duke calls me his boss, if you understand, I will not forgive you."

"Elder sister, please don't," Bai Qianfan smiled along with her, "I'm not some proper master. Furthermore, Yue Xiang has given her all to me, you must punish her for such a small matter. I'm sorry."

Now that Xiu Yuanshuang wanted to build a good relationship with her, maybe in the future, the Duke would accept her as her sworn sister. After all, they were family, so they had to fawn on her.

She was usually rather casual with Bai Qianfan, but when she saw him here, she followed the rules and bowed, not allowing him to see if she could catch a hold of her weakness.

The three of them talked for a while, before Xiu Yuanshuang asked, "What time is it?"

Qiu Wen said from the side: "Master, it's already time."

It just so happened that she had something to report to Morong Gan about, so asked if he was going to the Huailin Pavilion s.

Bai Qianfan thought about it, but still shook her head. Although she could go to the Huailin Pavilion now, she couldn't be as impudent as she was in the past.

If she didn't go, it wouldn't be good for Gu Qingdie either. After Xiu Yuanshuang left, she said, "Why wouldn't Princess Wang Fei go? Didn't we already make up with her then?"

Bai Qianfan said: "Elder Sister Xiu has matters to discuss with Your Highness, it's not good for me to follow you."

Gu Qingdie did not think so, "What's wrong with that?

"I don't deserve to be a wangfei. It's not like I don't know."

"That's not necessarily true. Your highness had dinner with you yesterday and even said something so tactful. It's clear that you like your wangfei." Gu Qingdie had changed her plans. If she could keep Bai Qianfan, and drag him down, she could still ascend to the position of Crown Princess. After all, with her identity, she could not become the Crown Princess.

Xiu Yuanshuang was smart, she was the boss, and her life as a Concubine Princess would not be easy, but Bai Qianfan was different. She did not have scheming, and she was simple.

However, her words were different from Bai Qianfan's understanding. What she said was the love between a man and a woman, Bai Qianfan had the preconceived impression that it was the love between siblings, so she didn't really care too much about it.
