Morong Gan was especially anxious to return home today, hence he asked Hao Pingguan immediately, "Is the princess coming?"
Hao Pingguan was startled. He had been to the manor for the past two days and had only returned this morning. But the tone of voice of the prince was very familiar.
He bowed and replied, "Reporting to your highness, the wangfei didn't come."
Morong Gan's footsteps paused, he did not come over? He rushed back in a hurry, thinking that Bai Qianfan would definitely be at the Huailin Pavilion, even if he wasn't here to look for him, he would definitely come to look for Qi Hong.
He felt a bit disappointed, but he didn't say anything. He walked in with a calm expression.
After he showered and changed his clothes, he went into the study and found Xiu Yuanshuang waiting for him there. The reason he married the two wangfei to enter the palace was to divert the attention he had towards Bai Qianfan. In the end, not only did he not succeed in changing the situation, he had even lost control of the situation.
"What do you need This King for?"
"Yes, your highness. There weren't any women in the palace in the past, so the seventh day of the seventh month hasn't even passed. This year, Your highness has given you three wives. The next day is the seventh day, shouldn't you …"
Morong Gan was not interested in any of these things, he just waved his hand and said, "Whatever you want."
Seeing him open the documents to read, Xiu Yuanshuang hesitated for a moment, then said: "My prince, it's getting hot, the wangfei's room did not have an ice bowl placed on top, she said that she can't even rest well after her afternoon nap, and sweated profusely.
Morong Gan lifted his head as expected, "Do you only know now whether or not the ice pots are placed inside the princess' room?"
Her tone was full of blame, and Xiu Yuanshuang felt somewhat wronged. She had just taken over the house, so when Hao Pingguan handed the matter over to her, she did not put the ice bowl in the room. She had only asked this because she wanted to probe him out, but it had become her fault!
She slightly bowed with a humble expression. "It was my negligence."
Morong Gan asked, "What is there to be lacking with the wangfei, I'll prepare one for her. If she is afraid of heat, prepare two ice pots for her. She is already small, and if she sweats like this every day, the wind won't be able to blow anymore. "
"Yes, I understand."
Morong Gan thought for a moment, then said, "Princess is still young, even though he has a servant girl by his side, he can't think it through. You should stay close, and take care of his more."
Xiu Yuanshuang thought, the king usually did not talk much with her, even if he were to go to Fallen Star Pavilion, he would only talk so much for Bai Qianfan, and now, Bai Qianfan did indeed have a lot of weight in his heart, just that, it was as she had thought, it was because of the affection between brother and sister.
"Prince, don't worry. I know. I had a meal with wangfei this morning. Wangfei likes to eat the coincidental braised food I brought with me. I ate all six of them in one go. What a great appetite."
However, Morong Gan frowned, "Why did she ask you to bring him over?
Xiu Yuanshuang didn't think too much into it. In order to show how nice she was to Bai Qianfan, she said, "There are only two servings for Princess Huo Wu to eat for breakfast every day.
Morong Gan leaned back, his eyes filled with frost, as he asked word by word, "Why are there only two rice bags for Princess Hua-Yang's breakfast?"
Xiu Yuanshuang was shocked, her mouth opened slightly, but no words came out. How could she know? This was a rule that had been postponed from the beginning.
But then again, now that she was in charge, Princess Hua-Yang's breakfast was just two simple buns. One of her concubines had poured out many different kinds of food, such as silver rolls, coincidentally fried and sold them.
Seeing that the Prince Chu was angered, she kneeled down and said, "Your Highness, this cannot be blamed on me. All the meals in the palace have different levels, and when I took over the inner chamber, this was the level of the wangfei. At that time, Your Highness, Your Highness … I have asked Head Steward Hao and he said that if I don't move first, I won't think too much about it … "
Morong Gan took a deep breath. After all that, it was actually his own fault, it was him who had treated Bai Qianfan badly, and the people below him saw that he was acting on his face, so they criticized him.
His original intention wasn't like this. Although sshe didn't want to meet or speak, he was willing to eat and drink to support her. After a year or so, he would leave her and find a good husband to marry her off. This bunch of darned servants, in these past few days, Bai Qianfan did not know what grievances she had suffered.
He blamed himself and was angry at the same time. He slammed the table, "Call Hao Pingguan in!"
Hao Pingguan was waiting at the door when he heard the voice. He immediately knelt down after entering the door.
In the past, the Prince had calmed down, after all, there was a Prime Minister Bai between them. Occasionally, the Prince would act on impulse, but after a while, there would be more to do, and he thought it was going to be like that. He didn't expect that the prince's feelings for his wife would rise again.
Morong Gan walked around the table, without saying a word, he lifted his leg and kicked, causing Hao Pingguan to fall onto the ground. He clutched his heart, crawled up, and then kneeled down, "Prince, please calm down, this servant is guilty.
Morong Gan was filled with true qi, it was no wonder that Bai Qianfan was being so friendly with him yesterday. Although they didn't meet each other, they still couldn't bear to lose her in the slightest. That day, when they heard that she had fallen into the lake and had risked her life to save her, these damn servants actually dared to wrong her!
"Sure, let's go and get it." The voice then called out to Ning Jiu, "Go and execute your punishment."
Ning Jiu replied. Seeing that Hao Pingguan's legs were weak, he stepped forward to support him and supported him out of the door.
Seeing that Xiu Yuanshuang was still kneeling, Morong Gan was not in a good mood, "Get up, you should do things more carefully in the future.
"Yes, I understand." Xiu Yuanshuang stood up, blessed her body and slowly retreated.
This was the first time she had knelt on the ground for so long, and the icy, hard ground made her knees hurt. In front of Morong Gan, she forced herself to endure, and after walking out the door, she placed her hand on Qiu Wen's shoulder and said weakly: "Quick, help me go back."
Qiu Wen saw that her expression was not good, and asked worriedly: "Master, what did the Prince do to you?"
A new wife was punished to kneel before him in less than a month's time. If Gu Qingdie knew about this, her mouth would definitely go crooked from laughing.
Her heart was in panic for no reason. The prince loved Bai Qianfan to this much, and upon hearing that she had been tortured, not only did the Head Steward get slapped, even she was punished to kneel. Was this really the love of a brother to a sister or the love of a man to a woman?
He had picked a conversation to test the waters, but this incident had made her even more confused and unable to make sense of the situation.
