"See, I told you it was easy, and you're so skilled at it, you don't even need my guidance."
After killing the fish, the two went to catch chickens. After taking care of everything, Hongyi felt a little proud.
It doesn't seem very difficult.
However, he was soon slapped in the face by his own thoughts.
After the chef gave Hongyi some guidance, he felt that he was very talented, so he went out to relieve himself for a while.
When he came back, the whole kitchen was filled with thick smoke, and a handsome man in red clothes ran out with his face stained black.
Someone shouted "Fire!" and everyone rushed to the kitchen to fetch water to put out the fire.
When the Sixth Princess heard the noise and came over, the fire had already been put out. She asked if anyone was injured and then looked at the one in red.
"I asked you to make lunch, not to set the kitchen on fire."
Hong Yi knew he was in the wrong, so he said politely, "I was wrong."
Seeing him look like a bullied man with a dark face, the Sixth Princess rolled her eyes in her heart.
Asking him to make lunch was a non-starter.
"Okay, stop cooking and just do the laundry and cleaning from now on."
After lunch, the maid collected a pile of clothes and gave them to Hongyi.
"These are the princess's favorite clothes. You have to wash them by hand. You can't ruin them, okay?"
Hongyi nodded and thought to herself that even though she couldn't cook, she had done laundry herself, so it was impossible that she couldn't do it either.
When he was with Bai Yi before, Bai Yi was the one who did the cooking, so he didn't know how to cook at all.
Holding the dress made of luxurious fabric in her hand, Hongyi fetched some water, took out the dress and began to wash it carefully. After rubbing it a few times, she heard a "click" and the dress in her hand was torn.
"Why did it crack?"
Hongyi felt that he was finished this time. Being punished to wash clothes was just a punishment for his sins, and now it seemed that he had added insult to injury.
The maid just said that these are the Sixth Princess’ favorites.
After putting the clothes into the basin, Hongyi sat down on the ground dejectedly.
The Sixth Princess was eating some fruit, leaning back on the chaise longue with a contented look on her face as she asked the maid.
"How's it going over there in Red?"
"Don't worry, Princess. I'm doing the laundry."
The Sixth Princess was not at all reassured. When she heard the woman in red washing her clothes, she stood up immediately.
"Let's go and take a look."
This person must not ruin her clothes by washing them.
When they went to the laundry room, they saw Hongyi sitting on the floor with a goose yellow dress in her hand, looking hopeless.
The Sixth Princess had a vague sense of foreboding in her heart and quickened her pace as she walked up to the person in red.
When Hongyi heard footsteps, she quickly put her skirt back into the basin and stood up.
"Princess, why are you here?"
The Sixth Princess glanced at him, picked up the dress in the basin, looked at the conspicuous hole on it, and asked almost with her back teeth gritted.
"What's going on?"
"My hand was too strong, so it... cracked."
The more Hongyi spoke, the more guilty she felt. How could she have known that the skirt was so fragile?
"Why don't you use your inner strength to break it up?"
The Sixth Princess was so angry that her voice rose a little. This was her favorite skirt, and she had only worn it once.
"I didn't use my internal energy."
Hongyi realized that the Sixth Princess was really angry, and she didn't know what to say to calm her down.
"Tell me, was this intentional?"
The Sixth Princess stared at him with her big almond-shaped eyes, making him feel that she would cry out of anger at any moment.
"I didn't mean it."
Hongyi was annoyed. He was usually very eloquent, but now facing the Sixth Princess, he couldn't say a word to make her happy.
"Princess, don't be angry. I will find a way to recover for you."
"Recovered? Even the best embroiderer can't restore it to its original state."
The Sixth Princess didn't want to see him again and left in anger.
…
at the same time.
The Fifth Princess's Mansion is completely different from here.
Bai Yi felt that the Fifth Princess was particularly cold and distant towards him, and everything about him was arranged by her personal maid.
After getting off the carriage, he didn't even see the fifth princess.
While he was thinking, there was a knock on the door. The man in white opened the door and the fifth princess's maid was standing outside.
"The princess asked you to come over for questioning."
Bai Yi followed the maid through the corridor to the main hall.
"Princess, the people are here."
"Come in."
The fifth princess put down the tea in her hand, and the man in white came in and bowed respectfully with her eyes lowered.
"Get up."
"Thank you, Princess."
Bai Yi stood up straight, wondering what the fifth princess would ask.
"Have you ever saved me before entering the palace?"
The fifth princess stared at him and asked tentatively.
Facing her tentative look, Bai Yi swallowed the words on the tip of his tongue and said, "Princess, no."
The princess probably doesn't want to remember the past events that were related to that man. He can't open the princess's scars for his own selfish reasons.
And even if I really told her, apart from letting her know that I saved her, what would it change?
Nothing can change the fact that she doesn't care about herself.
"I understand."
Seeing his frank expression, the Fifth Princess dispelled her doubts and thought that Luo'er must have made a mistake.
"Then what happened when you kidnapped Luo'er before?"
The man in white simply copied what the man in red said and put the blame on him.
"I heard from my brother and the others that when they found you two, there were many other girls with you. Now that you are by my side, don't you feel like you are being held captive?"
"Those women were rescued by us and followed us voluntarily. Princess, you can ask the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The Fifth Princess was surprised by Bai Yi's eager rebuttal. She asked why this man was so anxious. Was he worried that he would not be able to work in her house because of this matter?
"Don't be nervous, I'm just asking casually."
After returning to his residence, Bai Yi still couldn't understand the fifth princess's intention in asking these questions.
The maid walked over to the Fifth Princess and, while refilling her tea, she said, "This white-robed guard actually has several scars on his wrists. Isn't he said to be a skilled poison user? He can't even get rid of the scars on his own hands."
"Maybe he himself doesn't want to be treated."
Sometimes some injuries are not incurable, but it depends on whether the injured person is willing to be treated, just like herself.
The maid paused as she poured the tea, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Princess, would you like to let the princess take a look at your body?"
"Don't mention this matter again."
…
The emperor was originally looking forward to his little cotton-padded jacket coming to coax him, but when it came time for dinner, there was still no sign of his little cotton-padded jacket.
This was the third time Eunuch Cao asked the emperor if he wanted to serve the meal. Looking at the sky outside, he wanted to say something but didn't dare.
"Go to Zuihua Palace."
The emperor stood up. It would be the same if Luo'er didn't come. It was enough for him to know that Luo'er would coax him.
Eunuch Cao thought to himself that the emperor really wanted to see Concubine Xian. Why didn't he just go there directly? Why did he have to sit for so long? When Concubine Xian didn't come, he just went there himself.
