Bai Qianfan thought that since she left the buddhist hall early, she should have the chance to talk to Morong Gan. She didn't want to argue with him, and she wasn't comfortable with him getting angry. Actually, even now, she still could not understand why Morong Gan was angry. It was not that she did not want him to marry a concubine, it was just that as long as he was happy, she could marry eight or even ten of them.
But when she was about to go to sleep, she did not see any trace of Morong Gan. Not only him, even Feng Ruying was nowhere to be seen. They both liked each other. This was definitely sweeter than honey, would he want Feng Ruying to call him her husband, or would he also want to press her down …
They should have, right? After sitting there thinking for a long time, she suddenly felt that it was funny. They had probably gone to bed already, so what was she still thinking about?
The Grand Consort Rui walked in. "It's not early anymore, why aren't you resting, Princess?"
Bai Qianfan hurriedly stood up, "I'll be leaving now, Grand Consort won't be able to rest."
"This Dowager has always stayed late, so she should go soon," he sized her up. "The wangfei is waiting for the prince. Don't wait any longer, he won't be coming over tonight. The Duke and Ruying have both gone to sleep, and so should the Princess. "
As expected, she had already fallen asleep. Bai Qianfan acknowledged her and squatted down to enjoy her blessings before heading back to the room.
The second day was the birthday of the Grand Consort Rui, so Bai Qianfan woke up early, thinking that Morong Gan might be able to say a few words before going up to the court, but before she could even go to the right hall, the Grand Consort Rui had already sent someone over to invite her. She said that after a while, the masters of the different palaces would send people over to send things over for her to let her have a look. Bai Qianfan was the serious daughter-in-law of the Grand Consort Rui, so she should attend to these matters.
Arriving at the main hall, Bai Qianfan saw that the servants were preparing food, all kinds of delicious breakfast were placed on the table, causing him to be elated, she had been hungry for a few days, and today, she should be able to eat them all.
However, the moment she sat down, the Kong Mama appeared out of nowhere and stood beside her without a sound.
Bai Qianfan started to panic when she saw her. Just as she was about to reach out and grab a green jadeite candy bag, pa, her arm received a blow, as if she had eyes for a mirror, unexpectedly hitting the same spot, causing Bai Qianfan to grit her teeth in pain. She gasped.
"Princess wants to learn how to use chopsticks, we are not barbarians."
Bai Qianfan had no choice but to pick up the pair of White Ivory Jade Eagles and pick up the candy. That chopsticks was heavy, slippery and couldn't be used properly, when she picked it up, the candy's skin was torn, a deep red juice flowed out and dripped onto the plate like blood.
People who were old could pass off as red on their birthday, but it was taboo to see red water filled with soup. Grand Consort Rui looked at the red puddle and her face darkened slightly.
Bai Qianfan laughed in embarrassment, extended his scallion like finger and quickly rolled it up on the plate. After that, she put it into her mouth, and the little bit of red sugar disappeared without a trace.
Everyone looked at each other, at a loss for words.
Kong Mama came back to her senses, raised her ruler and hit her on the arm fiercely. "Princess Hua-Yang is not a child, he's so funny and generous."
Bai Qianfan cried out in pain.
"As the imperial concubine, you must remain calm and collected in the face of situations. You must also control your anger, happiness and laughter."
Bai Qianfan rubbed his arm, it was fine if she didn't touch it, but if she did, the pain would be even worse. The only choice was to eat porridge. After drinking half a bowl, Kong Mama coughed out a few words from behind her, as if she had a conditioned reflex. She helplessly watched as Kong Mama took away her bowl.
What a waste. The table of delicious food had not been touched at all, and all of it had been taken away.
Not long after the meal, the masters of the various palaces brought the food over. There was not a single heavy one. The embroidery was exquisite, the handwriting was delicate and beautiful, and said that the empress had personally embroidered them, and it took her nearly a month to finish the work. Grand Consort Rui looked at the lifespan map, and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After the eunuch left, she waved her hand to have him take it without taking another look.
had never seen such a beautiful coral tree. It was red, beautiful, and smooth, to the point where her eyes were wide open while standing at the side. She made sounds from her mouth, as if she was a countryside girl who had never seen the world.
The Grand Consort Rui was beaming with joy, and continued to say yes, gently stroking the smooth branches of the tree, as though she was in love with them. She also gave a bag of gold barns to the young eunuch in the Imperial Consort Bai Palace.
Bai Qianfan watched the scene at the side for a long time. She also agreed to do the same, as she also rewarded the gold barrow, but she could tell that the Grand Consort Rui liked the coral tree that the Imperial Consort Bai gave her even more. Because of the Hundred Life Map, she turned around and let the people take it, but the coral tree had always been standing in the middle of the hall.
Nothing else from the other palaces was more precious than the Imperial Consort Bai, and nothing else was more thoughtful than the Queen. The attitude of the Grand Consort Rui was naturally a bit different, and the things that rewarded him were also a bit worse.
After all the people had left, Grand Consort Rui asked her, "Did you figure out anything?"
Bai Qianfan thought for a while, "This humble one is stupid, could it be that the gifts of the young masters cannot surpass the empress and Imperial Consort Bai?"
Grand Consort Rui glanced at her indifferently, "You're not stupid. This was natural, as was the order in which gifts were delivered. Only after the Queen and the Noble Consort have sent them off can the others send them off, they can't go ahead of them. This person, no matter what position he was in, he had to know what to do. If they lost their sense of propriety, they would make others laugh. Esteemed wangfei, don't you think that makes sense? "
Bai Qianfan nodded in agreement, but she did not agree with it. Giving gifts was important to the heart, as long as the intention was good enough, what was there to talk about? They had to be divided into different grades. Back then, she had embroidered a purse full of threads that was sent to the prince, so he didn't mind. Marrying to the Emperor was even worse than being a prisoner. She was still the better, married to the Prince Chu, not to mention whether she was good to eat or not, he even spoiled her, took care of her with all his heart, and allowed her to be free and comfortable in the palace.
Thinking up to here, she really missed Morong Gan a little. She hadn't met him yesterday, but today was the birthday of Grand Consort, so she should have at least met him. After seeing her, she would definitely take the initiative to ask for peace. She would obediently listen to him and not make him angry again.
But what if he didn't like her anymore with Feng Ruying … Bai Qianfan was startled by this thought, and immediately shook his head and comforted himself. That won't happen, the king would not hate the new, he's not that kind of person.
Grand Consort Rui glanced at her in displeasure, "Why are you talking to yourself there? The banquet will be held in the afternoon. Go to the kitchen and see if everything is ready. "
