The sky was too hot, and there was an ice bucket in the room. Hao Pingguan was still sweating profusely, but he couldn't take it anymore, so he asked Xiao Kuzi to take off the thin blanket that was covering his body, put down the account, and lie down on the bed naked.
Just as Xiao Kuzi was putting him in position, Bai Qianfan opened the curtain and entered, and said crisply: "Head Steward, I saw that you came."
Xiao Kuzi cried out, "My mother!" He blocked her path like a wall, his tone tinged with complaint. "Esteemed wangfei, why did you barge in in the first place without making a sound?"
Taking advantage of this, Hao Pingguan hurriedly covered himself from head to toe with a blanket. Finally, he scolded Xiao Kuzi, "How can you speak to an imperial concubine like that, slap your lips." Then, he smiled at Bai Qianfan. "Aiyo, Princess, how can this servant bear this burden when you have come to see me? This servant's current state isn't good enough, I can only do it on your behalf. After saying that, he rapped his fingers on the bed as a form of greeting.
"Why are you being so courteous, Head Steward?" Bai Qianfan walked to the side of the bed with a smile and looked at him through the bill, "I heard that you're severely injured, is it still painful?"
"It hurts. Your servant will stop hurting once the princess consort arrives." Hao Pingguan had an expression of gratitude towards virtue, it was almost the same as crying under his eyes, "Up till today, this servant still hasn't gotten sick. Master has come to see, wangfei, you're the first, this servant's heart is really, really …" As he spoke, he began to choke.
He was a person who was used to flattering others, he never thought that he would pretend to be real. Originally, he was only good to Bai Qianfan because of her face, the king liked her, and he had waited on her wholeheartedly. The prince did not like him, but although he would not take liberties with her, but that thought had naturally faded away, and was thrown to the side and ignored. He never thought that Bai Qianfan would come specially to see him.
A man was crying in front of him, Bai Qianfan felt embarrassed and advised: "Head Steward, don't cry, it's not necessary, the Prince did not come to see you, it's his fault, he did not do anything, you served him with all of your heart, if you made the slightest mistake you would smash your butt, it would be disgraceful, no wonder he is such a temperamental person, his heart is small too, remember when I first entered the palace, I also caused you to be slapped, I don't want to blame him, but why is it like this? What have you done to offend him? "
Xiao Kuzi was stupefied when he said that. If these words were to reach the ears of the Duke, even if the Little Princess didn't die, he would at least lose a layer of skin.
Hao Pingguan's face was full of tears. His Royal Highness was moody because of Princess Hua-Yang, and the reason why I got beaten up was also because of Princess Hua-Yang …
At this time, Bai Qianfan suddenly remembered something in her hands, and showed the bill to. "This is the crispy hemp flower from the Nine Supremes Temple, I heard that it tastes tasty without sticking to its teeth, you can try it."
Hao Pingguan panicked: "Aiyo, Princess, it's good that you're here, and you're even spending the money. I really don't know what to say anymore."
Bai Qianfan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it wasn't me who bought it, it was Concubine Princess who gave it to me. I'll borrow the flowers to respect you."
"It's fine if you have that thought, Xiao Kuzi, but keep it safe. I'll try it in the afternoon."
Xiao Kuzi took it and put it on top of the cabinet, but said in his heart, just these few things, for a wangfei to be able to take it out, it would be better than a steward.
Just then, a shadow flashed, and someone walked in from the door. Xiao Kuzi called out, "Who are these people, charging in without a word, do you think this is …"
Before she could finish, Bai Qianfan called out to him, scaring him so much that his legs went weak. She laid on the counter and looked back timidly.
Seeing that Morong Gan had indeed walked in, he immediately kneeled on the ground, and before Prince Chu could say anything, he slapped his own mouth: "Prince, please calm your anger.
He hit herself really hard, with constant patting sounds. Bai Qianfan frowned, afraid that he would slap herself to death.
Morong Gan glanced at him indifferently, "Stand up."
As if he had received an amnesty, Xiao Kuzi didn't dare to be slippery in front of Prince Chu. He had used all his might to fight, making himself dizzy. He had to get up quickly and get a chair for Morong Gan to sit on.
Morong Gan said, "Aren't you going to give it to the wangfei?"
"It's my fault, it's my fault you didn't teach me well. Bastard, why don't you take a chair and let my wife sit on it?"
Xiao Kuzi was confused. He moved the chair over and blocked it, then placed the chair beside him. He called Bai Qianfan, "Princess, come over and sit."
Bai Qianfan followed his instructions and sat down. Seeing his unfriendly face, her heart was thumping, she wondered how much he had heard from outside.
Hao Pingguan, who was lying on the bed, was even more afraid.
Xiao Kuzi stood at the side, not knowing what the Duke meant.
Morong Gan sat quietly for a while, then said, "You said you were sick, this king has never come to see you, that time your legs were full of sores, all the way to your knees, who asked the royal doctor to take a look for you?"
Hao Pingguan trembled, he had forgotten about the pain in his butt, "Your highness is the reincarnated parent of this servant, I am deeply grateful to you. In my next life, in the next life, this servant will serve Your highness willingly."
Morong Gan let out a light snort, turned his head and looked at Bai Qianfan, "Princess, do you think this king is moody?"
Bai Qianfan was greatly embarrassed. She was a real person, unlike the Head Steward, who would talk so much flattery. With a red face, she muttered, "A little."
Morong Gan thought that, in front of him, she would say something nice no matter what. He never thought that the little girl would be honest, he was angry and happy, but at least the little girl was willing to tell him the truth.
This was the first time Xiao Kuzi and Hao Pingguan saw someone daring to make such a bold and sincere comment in front of a duke.
Xiao Kuzi thought that she had eaten a leopard's gall bladder, but the Duke didn't blame her.
However, Hao Pingguan finally understood that he was not unjustly accused.
Morong Gan asked again, "Do you think this king is petty?"
Bai Qianfan did not know the reason why Hao Pingguan was being punished, it was because she had said that. Now that Morong Gan had asked her about it, her face was even redder, and she lowered her head, "About that … "I don't think so. I haven't had much interaction with the Prince, and I'll only find out when I get to know that it's not good to talk about you."
Morong Gan found it funny. He knew it wasn't the case, but he was still unwilling to admit it. However, these words made him very happy.
He continued, "Since Princess Consort does not feel that he has much to do with this duke, then it just so happens that it's time to eat. Princess Consort should follow me to the Huailin Pavilion for a meal."
