Bai Qianfan saw that Morong Gan's expression was unsettled, and was extremely uneasy. She could only smile at him.
Morong Gan saw that she was acting like a shameless cat, and was a bit helpless, but he deliberately wore a straight face. "Only an imperial concubine would have the guts to ignore this duke's words."
Bai Qianfan cried out, "I didn't, Your Royal Highness, when did I take your words for granted?"
"I said that …" Morong Gan blushed a little, "A man's taboo cannot be told to others, why don't you listen?"
"His Royal Highness said that we can't ask our men, but didn't say that we can't talk to the young lady."
Morong Gan looked at her unfathomable eyes, and violently swallowed his breath, "Remember, you can't say anything to anyone!"
"Why can I tell you?"
"I am the prince, and you are the princess consort. The estate is our closest family, so you can say it."
"Even Lateral Princess and Concubine Princess cannot do it?"
"No."
Bai Qianfan thought for a while, "Logically speaking, the Lateral Princess and the Prince are the closest, so sooner or later, I will have to leave the palace."
Morong Gan swallowed his breath, "Before we leave the palace, you are the proper Princess Chu. We are the closest, so if you have anything to say, come and find me.
Bai Qianfan did not understand, "What do you mean not short?"
Morong Gan felt that he was too heartless, why would he tell her this? At that time, if she saw the real chapter, he would know whether it was long or short.
He said in a rough voice, "It's nothing, don't ask so much."
Bai Qianfan felt that he was strange, since she had just risen up and was not allowed to ask, the Duke didn't ask, so she nodded her head obediently, "Your highness came here so late, is that what you want to say?"
Of course, Morong Gan came over for some other reason, but this interruption meant that time had passed again. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "I originally wanted to bring you out for a walk, but it's already so late, I should …"
Bai Qianfan's eyes lit up: Out? Going out? "It's not too late, it's only a quarter past midnight."
Looking at her excited expression, Morong Gan thought for a while, "Alright, but we have to set a rule of law. One, follow me closely and don't run around, two, when the time comes, I will have to go back, and three, don't talk to men randomly."
Bai Qianfan was naturally willing to do anything. As long as she could go out and play, she would be able to get ten chapters without any problems, let alone three chapters.
On the Day of Begging, the rich family had arranged to have three or five relatives and friends kneel and burn incense in their homes, doing all sorts of things like begging, but the small family liked to do it outside, and whenever there was a time, they would split open and come out, under some big tree, in front of a high platform, regardless of whether they recognized it or not, each of them would kneel with an incense stick in their hands, and not even the men could refuse, because it was all about wishing, asking for a name, asking for a marriage, asking for a son, asking for a healthy and longevity, everywhere.
The stalls in the market were set up all the way until ugly, selling incense burners, goods for the Beggar Festival, and girls' rouge and cosmetics, as well as hairpins and jewellery, and even more snacks. At this point, everyone was a little hungry, sitting down to eat a bowl of dumplings, or boiled eggs with sweet wine, or small wontons sprinkled with sesame oil, and even the air was filled with fragrance.
When she was young, she did not have much money on her, so she only wanted to watch the show. When she went out today, she would eat and drink to her heart's content, and also bring some small gifts to the servant girls.
She changed into a set of clothes and followed Morong Gan out. The servant holding the lamp accompanied them to the main entrance, where Morong Gan waved his hand to tell them to stay, it was moonlight outside and the market was bright. He did not need anyone to hold the lamp, he just wanted the two of them, like the normal couples, to go out and stroll around, eat something, and once he was tired, he would return home to rest.
Although it was already a bit late, the street was still bustling with activity. Half of the children were wearing new clothes and carrying lanterns, scurrying around everywhere. The girls and older sisters were wandering around the stall, picking up this and that, bargaining with the hawkers. The young men were in groups of three or five, either worshiping or sitting at the food stalls and talking loudly.
Bai Qianfan was like a little bird in a cage, once she left the cage, she immediately became lively, and completely forgot about the rules. He looked around, and just happened to have a reason to grab her hand and hold it tightly in her palm. Sometimes, she would get anxious and try to break free. When he swept her gaze over her, she would no longer dare to act rashly, obediently allowing him to hold her hand.
Other than the stalls, there were also people playing with monkeys and sabers. Bai Qianfan walked over and saw that there were many people surrounding them. She quickly dragged Morong Gan to take a look. But when she got closer, she was so small that even if she wanted to rip someone off, she couldn't. She was anxious as she raised her head to ask Morong Gan, "What are you playing inside?"
Morong Gan looked at his with interest and answered, "Soft arts."
Bai Qianfan had never been out of doors before, so she had never heard of it before. Clinging on Yue Yang's shoulder, she tiptoed inside, and excitedly shouted: "What is it, let me see what it is?"
Morong Gan raised her up and took a look. Ha, his eyes were opened, the small girl had unexpectedly pulled down a young lady, Bai Qianfan's eyes were wide open as he muttered: "Did her bones break?"
Morong Gan put her down, "I rely on this to earn my living, what's the point of selling this for a discount every time?"
Once Bai Qianfan landed, there was nothing left to see. Anxiously, she begged him with a bashful expression, "Your highness, please hold me up again."
Morong Gan said: "Although you are not heavy, to be able to lift it so high is already heavy. Aren't my arms sore?" Seeing her depressed face, he smiled, "How about this, I'll hug you and see."
Bai Qianfan was a little embarrassed, "I'm already this old and I'm still being carried, aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
Who would look at them? Furthermore, Bai Qianfan had a small stature and big eyes and a small face, if she was in his arms and someone saw her, she would be the same as Big Brother, holding her little sister in his arms.
Bai Qianfan looked around, seeing a little girl riding on his father's neck, she suddenly had an idea. She pointed her finger, and said to Morong Gan while grinning: "Can I sit on the prince's neck?"
Morong Gan looked in the direction she was pointing at and nearly forgot. She was constantly reminding them that there was a difference between the two of them, ah. There was no such thing as a wife riding on her husband's head. Only this junior can ride on his neck for the rest of his life!
Seeing that he did not make a sound, Bai Qianfan tugged on his sleeves and shook him, her face filled with anxiety: "Hurry up, we won't be able to watch any longer."
Morong Gan initially did not want to agree to her request, but he squatted down, and secretly scoffed at himself for being unpromising, and deliberately put on a straight face: "Just meddle with your matters, hurry up, you'll be back in a while."
Bai Qianfan rode up, her two small hands hugging onto his neck, and happily called out, "Good prince."
Morong Gan's heart trembled, he thought that if the word "Duke" were to be changed to his name, then he would be able to enjoy himself even more.
