After Morong Gan walked for a long time, the crown prince still remained seated and did not move. Zhuge Qianyu walked out from the inner room and bent down, "Your Highness, what do you plan to do?"
The Crown Prince raised his head slowly, looking confused. After a while, he smiled helplessly, "What can I do? He's the commander, he fights as he pleases, he says stop as he pleases, I can't do anything about it."
"This old man had been walking around the mansion for the past few days and heard the servants talk about the Prince Chu and Princess Wangfei. The Princess Chu is the Prince Chu's weakness, why not your highness … "
"No," the crown prince firmly interrupted him, "Princess Chu had just returned to his residence, Prince Chu had placed all his attention on her, probably becausehe was too immersed in her thoughts, she did not even care about his big plans, now that he is acting, he can only do bad things, wait, wait until the news from the north comes back."
"Even the Prince Chu did not take General Li's assassination into heart and refused to head north. Could he be suspecting his highness?"
The Crown Prince smiled, "My third brother may be born into the martial arts world and may look casual, but he is actually very careful. Nothing could escape his eyes, so we must be careful and not make the slightest mistake."
"Naturally, this old man will instruct you." Zhuge Qianyu stroked his beard, "When Your Highness saw Princess Chu today, what kind of person did you think she was?"
"Previously, I heard Zhu Er say that she was simple-minded, so I had never believed her, since she is after all, Bai Rubing's daughter, but seeing her today, I'm afraid Zhu'er is right," he pointed at the tea leaves on the table and laughed bitterly: "The tea that I sent to her was back as a gift, and the only person who can be so confused is the Princess Chu."
"Since that's the case, if she has really become an obstacle for His Highness, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to take care of her."
"Let's observe for a bit before we talk. If she is hiding her strength, then we will alert her if we act rashly." The Crown Prince held the tea in his hand and twirled it around twice before smiling, "Third Brother has taken a fancy to her. It's really hard to understand."
"Regarding this matter of love tribulation, I can't explain it clearly," Zhuge Qianyu stroked his beard and shook his head, "The so-called question of what love is in this world is something that can lead to life and death. Even if Your Highness did not meet with it, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to escape."
The Crown Prince placed the tea on the table and stood up. "However, she is rather pretty."
In the evening, Morong Gan arranged a feast and invited the crown prince to have dinner with him. Actually, he should have already treated the two of them to a meal a long time ago, it was only because he deliberately suppressed it, the reason was very simple. Firstly, he was afraid that Huangfu Zhuer would say something unpleasant that would cause Bai Qianfan to misunderstand.
However, Bai Qianfan had taken the initiative to ask for this meal, he had no reason to reject it, so she could only give the orders.
The atmosphere around the banquet was not bad. Huangfu Zhuer did not talk much, and appeared to be very quiet. The crown prince was a person with knowledge, he knew about astronomy, he knew about geography, and he talked about the affairs of the world from east to west with great confidence. When Bai Qianfan heard this, she looked at him with admiration, and finally concluded, "Second brother is so powerful, no wonder you could become the crown prince."
Everyone laughed, including the Crown Prince. "There are many more people who are stronger than me, such as third brother. Most of my knowledge is from books, but he has traveled far and wide, so the experience is different."
Bai Qianfan turned and asked Morong Gan: "Have you been to many places? "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Following the group and leaving no matter where you go is a very common thing. There's nothing much to say."
"But when I was in the manor, I heard those old soldiers talk about marching and fighting. It was very interesting."
"Alright, if you like it, I'll tell you."
The two of them asked and answered each other. One of their eyes was shining, while the other was smiling with curved eyes. It seemed to be a very loving scene.
The Crown Prince watched quietly, in the light, Huangfu Zhuer lowered her eyes, took a handkerchief and puckered her lips, and slowly stood up: "Crown Prince Brother, Third Brother, Royal Consort, I have finished eating, you guys take care, I will go back first."
"Eat some more," Bai Qianfan passionately persuaded her to stay. "There are still so many more dishes, it's such a waste."
Huangfu Zhuer, "..." The word 'wasted' was too foreign to her. Even if she were in trouble and hid somewhere to live, she would still be under the protection of the crown prince. She had never thought of changing anything.
"I've finished eating as well, so it's a good opportunity to send off Zhu'er." The crown prince also stood up and took the cape from the servant girl's hands to cover Huangfu Zhuer with, "The night wind is strong, be careful of catching a cold."
"Thank you, Crown Prince Brother." Huangfu Zhuer smiled at Morong Gan and the crown prince, then turned and left with the crown prince.
Bai Qianfan and Morong Gan sent them to the door, and watched as they walked further and further away in the night until they disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Morong Gan brought Bai Qianfan back to the table, "Are you still going to eat? If you're full, I'll call someone to come in and clean it up. "
Bai Qianfan rubbed her fat stomach, wondering, "It looks like I can't eat anymore, but what if there's so much food left?"
"Why are you worrying about this?" Morong Gan glanced at her, "Of course my underlings will."
"How? Down? How unfortunate, "Bai Qianfan looked at the bowls and plates on the table, nagging," When I was at the Dark Water Town, I could only make three dishes every day, and I just happened to finish eating them all. It wouldn't be a waste at all.
When she mentioned those things, Morong Gan felt his heart ache. He pulled her into his embrace and said depressingly, "In the future, I will definitely not let you suffer from such hardships again."
Bai Qianfan raised her head with all her might, and looked extremely surprised: "How can that be considered as suffering? To be able to eat until one is full, hunger is the only way," she thought for a moment, "I think like this, dumping it out is indeed a waste, to give it to the guards on night duty to eat, I'll go ask them first if they dislike it?"
"They dare?" Morong Gan glared, "You make them look down on you even with such thoughts? You make them look beautiful."
The nobles were all well-fed, with chopsticks sticking out from the plate of food no more than three times. Seeing that they didn't even move, how could the servants dislike them? They only hated the fact that there were too many people who were being rewarded, one person with one chopstick missing, and they still hadn't tasted anything yet.
Only the Prince Chu Palace was different. In the past, Morong Gan had eaten alone, he did not like to be extravagant, so he was able to leave with little to go on. As the rewards were not easy to give out, they were all poured out, and slowly became a rule. When Bai Qianfan came later, the dishes on the table increased, but the rules were the same, the Prince Chu's dishes did not reward the underlings.
But from that day onwards, the rules of the courtyard of the Prince Chu changed. The guards were not unhappy at all. The rich and beautiful dishes that the nobles had were originally something they could not enjoy. Compared to their original supper of steamed buns with pickled vegetables or a bowl of noodles, there was a world of difference.
