Under the bright sun and rare good weather, the carp swimming in the pond was even more cheerful than usual. Bai Qianfan held onto a bag of fish food, and sprinkled it out lightly. The golden carp scrambled out of the water to eat, splashing water all over the place, and a rainbow light shone under the sunlight. Bai Qianfan was so amused that she started giggling.
Hao Pingguan smiled as he walked forward to beat the crap out of his, "The wangfei is feeding the fishes, the prince is back, he said that he wanted to take you out, the sedan is waiting outside."
Bai Qianfan asked, "Where are you going? Do you want a change of clothes or something? "
Hao Pingguan looked at her, "Your clothes are good enough, hurry up and follow me. Other princes have been waiting for a long time."
Bai Qianfan threw all the fish food into the water. She took the wet towel that Gui Yue passed to him and wiped her hands, then followed Hao Pingguan happily.
Upon reaching the second door, Morong Gan rode on his horse in casual attire. His tightly-tied legs peeked out from under his robes, his legs were long and nimble as he stepped on the horse with his deerskin boots.
Bai Qianfan waved to him, smiling until her eyebrows curved.
Morong Gan coughed once, his expression bland, "Quickly get on the palanquin, it's time to go."
Bai Qianfan sat inside, and quickly stuck her head out to call him, "Your Highness."
Morong Gan raised his eyebrows, "What?"
"Please teach me how to ride a horse in the future."
Morong Gan rode on his horse and came over, "You want to ride a horse?"
"I feel much more comfortable riding a horse than riding a palanquin. I've ridden it once before, but it was too fast and my legs were worn out."
Morong Gan's face suddenly darkened. He remembered that time when Du Changfeng brought her back from Ox-Head Mountain. The two of them rode the same horse … For such a long journey, the two of them were stuck together … Her legs were frayed.
He dismounted without a word and carried her out of the palanquin and set her on the horse.
Bai Qianfan said in surprise, "You want me to ride it now? "But …"
He stepped forward and gently cradled her in his arms. His saddle was big enough for two. The leather saddle was soft and delicate and would not break her leg.
He spoke in a muffled voice, "With me here, nothing will happen to you."
He looked at Hao Pingguan and immediately ordered his men to carry the things on the back. Morong Gan saw that everything was ready, so he raised his whip and led the horse towards the Palace gate.
In the distance, Gu Qingdie stood under a tree and followed the horse and the two people on horseback with a resentful gaze. Even when they disappeared around the corner, she was still staring blankly at them.
Zi Qiao said softly, "Master, let's go. The sun has already reached its peak, it's not good to bask in the sunlight for too long."
Gu Qingdie retracted her gaze, "Do you know where they are heading to?"
Zi Qiao stuttered, "This servant has asked around, but Huailin Pavilion's population is very tight, so the silver is not good either."
Gu Qingdie clenched her teeth, and slowly walked towards the backyard, "Are you saying that Jia Tong and Bai Qianfan's relationship is not bad?"
"Yes, I heard that they had a master-disciple relationship. One night they went out on a date in the back garden and someone caught them. The prince was furious, but later on he let it go."
Gu Qingdie snorted, "You can endure it like that? Your Highness is too magnanimous. "
"Another time, I don't know what happened, but the Duke punished Jia Tong with thirty whips. I heard that it was also because of Bai Qianfan."
Your highness probably hasn't seen the real deal." Gu Qingdie's lips curled up into a sinister smile. Bai Qianzhang wouldn't be so lucky. "Keep asking around and tell this concubine of any news.
"Yes," Zi Qiao said respectfully, "This servant knows."
Morong Gan brought Bai Qianfan out of the residence and walked along the main street as he headed straight ahead. The little girl had a straight back and stretched out her neck to look around, but when Morong Gan saw her narrow shoulders and the butterfly bones sticking out from behind her, he felt a little sad.
He tenderly reached out his hand to touch her, but Bai Qianfan suddenly turned her head, and his hand paused in the air. Facing the pair of dark eyes, he suddenly felt somewhat helpless, and his hand slowly fell down.
"What is it?" he asked.
"You haven't said where you want me to go?"
He purposely put on airs and said, "We'll know when we get there."
Ahead was the busy street. He took her in his arms, and with a jerk of his long arms, the wide cloak covered her, leaving only half of her face visible.
Bai Qianfan refused to obey and struggled to come out. He held her tightly, "Don't move, you're an imperial concubine, don't show your face so easily."
Bai Qianfan stopped struggling and pouted, "The next time you come out, I'll just play the role of a servant."
Morong Gan smiled, whipped his horse, and they galloped away. Bai Qianfan was forced to file her body and could only stay in his embrace. Morong Gan hugged her with one hand and pulled on the reins with the other. A bright smile appeared on her face as she ran towards the red sun.
After running for a while, he slowed down and asked softly, "Are you tired?"
She gasped for breath and grabbed his sleeve. "It's okay."
After running for a while, they had already reached the outskirts. The ears of the wheat in the field had ripened, and the yellow leaves were bent over. On the other side was a vegetable patch with rows upon rows of them, neatly arranged. There were green cabbage, slender red chilli peppers, and purple eggplants … Beautiful as a picture scroll.
Bai Qianfan's eyes did not even catch a glimpse of her, she was just like a bird out of its cage, pleasantly surprised. Morong Gan tilted his head and looked at her, "You like this?"
"I like it. In the past, my wet nurse used to tell me about her land, and she even said that she would take me to see it when she had the chance. It's a pity …" Her voice dropped, and there was a touch of sadness.
"I have a manor in the east suburbs. When are you going to take a look? There are a lot of things there, and I can assure you that you'll like them."
She raised her face into a smile. "Don't go back on your words, Prince."
Morong Gan said, "When did I break my promise?"
Bai Qianfan thought for a while, "Last time, you said you would show me your rod, but you have not shown it to me until now."
Morong Gan's face turned green, he felt that something disappointing had raised his head, and immediately pushed her forward, the reins into her hands, "Didn't you say we need to learn to ride horses? "Let's train first."
The place was narrow, so Bai Qianfan was pushed into the saddle and pressed against it. She turned his head angrily and said, "If you're not going to look, then you're not going to look, why are you so angry?"
"It was you who asked me to ride a horse, and now you're pushing it." She then heard Morong Gan snort and quickly jumped down, walking forward, Bai Qianfan was left alone on the horse, feeling a little afraid, she sighed and said, "My prince, why did you leave, your horse wouldn't pout its hooves, right?"
Morong Gan acted as though he did not hear, and walked forward.
Bai Qianfan panicked. Her legs instinctively tightened around the reins. The horse raised its front legs and happily ran past Morong Gan. When he looked up, she was crying as she turned around and shouted at him, "Prince, save me!"
He raised his hand and whistled into his mouth. The horse gradually stopped, and she still looked at him piteously, like an abandoned child. Morong Gan's heart suddenly tightened. He quickly walked over and jumped onto the horse, then pulled her into his embrace and asked softly, "Are you still going to use your little temper?"
