Chapter 44 Throwing Away the Fish Tank
With Pearl's martial arts skills, it was impossible for her not to hear the Regent approaching her.
"Forgive me, young lady. I just went to the toilet and was stopped by Guard Shufeng when I came back."
"Nothing, just carry me back."
She didn't comment, but the seed of doubt about Pearl was planted.
Zhenzhu was also a little frightened. She had to be more careful next time, otherwise her identity would be exposed.
......
The Regent returned to Mingye Court with wet clothes. Xishun was shocked: "The prince fell into the water?"
He quickly ordered the eunuch to prepare hot water for his master's bath, ginger soup to ward off the cold, and clean clothes.
The Regent's clothes were almost frozen, but his voice was even colder than his clothes: "Bai Qinghuan went to the hot springs, why didn't you tell me?"
Xishun's head seemed to be struck by lightning: "The prince went to the hot springs?"
Is it such a coincidence? The prince can only take a bath a few times in a winter.
"That white girl..."
Wouldn't it be that the prince saw everything?
The prince came back with wet clothes, what a mess! born! it’s done! Varied! What!
I really want to know!
"Is Miss Bai okay?"
"It's me who's in trouble. Prepare some cold water."
The Regent stepped into the room and said, "Go and receive twenty lashes yourself."
"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."
The door of the room was closed mercilessly, and Xishun was in despair.
The old wounds haven't healed yet and new ones have appeared.
“What a hard life.”
Before receiving the punishment, the prince asked the eunuch to prepare cold water for his bath.
Wait, why cold water?
Your Majesty... hehe...
"I finally got it."
The twenty lashes he received were not in vain.
He went to receive his punishment humming a little tune.
The guards in the torture room were completely confused. It was the first time they saw someone so happy being whipped.
Before the fight was over, Pearl arrived.
"Are you here to watch the execution?"
Pearl knelt down without saying anything: "Come and receive the punishment."
After a while, the breeze came.
Same moves, same number of whips.
The guards were enjoying the fun: "It's really strange today."
"What did you do wrong? Tell me."
"snort..."
Shu Feng was so angry that he said, "Just say what you want to say, don't ask nonsense questions."
The only thing that is not accepted here is Shu Feng.
What did he do to offend anyone? The prince was going to take a bath, so he just had to wait outside.
As a result, Miss Bai was there, Xishun hadn't said anything yet, and there was also Zhenzhu, and no one knew how to stop her.
He swore he saw nothing.
He looked at them both fiercely, and they lowered their heads guiltily. It was indeed their negligence.
The guards didn't find out anything, but they were itching to do it, so they whipped quickly. In a few seconds, they had given each of them twenty lashes.
It seems that the prince is in a bad mood today.
He has been busy these days.
Being busy and happy, happiness is built on the pain of others.
......
The next day, Bai Qinghuan had just sat up when Biyun brought new news.
"Are you saying that the prince accepted the gift from Yun Yuyan?"
This is not a good thing.
"Yes, girl."
"Bring me bamboo strips and rice paper. I want to make a folding fan today."
Send him things every day to help him develop a habit.
Get used to her presence.
"Girl, can you make fans?"
Bai Qinghuan rolled her eyes at her and said, "Everything has a first time, right?"
Thinking of the Regent's blushing but forbearing look last night, Bai Qinghuan sketched a cute and ferocious little wolfdog on the fan.
Then draw a bright crabapple flower.
The little wolfdog looked back at the crabapple flowers high up. He could see them but could not eat them. His face looked ferocious but also adorable.
Contradictory and harmonious.
She is the crabapple tree and the Regent is the little wolfdog. There is no better image than this.
With Biyun's help, a folding fan was quickly made.
Bai Qinghuan imitated the elegant and suave scholar and shook his head a few times. A cool breeze blew over him: "A-choo..."
Well, it’s indeed a bit inappropriate to give a folding fan as a gift in the middle of winter.
She made the folding fan on a whim, but as it was getting dark, it was too late to change to something else.
"Send it there."
......
When the Regent came back from court, he saw a glass fish tank on the desk in the study. Anchovies were swimming leisurely there, and suddenly they started to bite the grass underneath, then tried to retreat, but failed to bite it.
He suddenly thought of the embarrassment of last night, and his lower abdomen began to stir.
He took big strides and sat behind the desk to hide the abnormality of his body.
I was so angry that I couldn't help but say, "Throw away the fish tank."
If he can't see it, then everything will be fine. He is still the cold-blooded regent with no desires or demands.
Xishun was confused: "Please think twice, my lord."
Did the fish tank offend the prince?
"I'll throw it if you tell me to."
Xishun took the fish tank and left, but he didn't dare to throw it away. Instead, he put it in another room to keep it.
The prince was obviously angry when he spoke. If you regret it later and ask him for it again, where would he get it?
A qualified eunuch chief must think three steps ahead.
As smart as he is!
When Biyun came over with a folding fan, Xishun just happened to be coming back.
When the Regent saw the complete painting of the little wolf and dog on the fan, he thought that it was finally complete this time.
Unlike a wolf in the dark, where only the eyes can be seen.
What does it mean to just draw a little wolfdog?
"What do you mean?"
"The girl didn't say."
"Go down."
That she herself was a vicious little wolf-dog?
Or is he a crabapple?
The little wolfdog wants to pick this high mountain flower?
"You don't know your own limits."
Having said this, his heart was in turmoil. The Regent slammed the fan shut, stood up and threw it into the red box, which then closed with a bang.
Out of sight, out of mind.
In the next few days, Bai Qinghuan sent over something new every day, such as fan pendants, wood carvings and other small items.
The Prince Regent accepted them all but threw them into a red box without looking at them a second time.
There was no response from him, but Bai Qinghuan was not disappointed at all and continued to send him gifts every day.
Because she had already learned from Xishun that the Regent had been put away in a box.
As long as it is not thrown away, she will continue to send it.
......
During the days when Bai Qinghuan was recuperating from his injuries, the Prime Minister's Mansion was very lively.
With the help of Bai Qingyou, Aunt Zheng's three shops quickly turned from loss to profit, and within a few days they brought in several hundred taels of silver.
Aunt Zheng was so happy that she would go to the accounting office every day to count the money several times, looking forward to the good days of spending money like water in the future.
But today, when she came back from inspecting the shop, she found that the accountant had not even a tael of silver left.
Screaming: "Where's the silver?"
Accountant Cui replied, "It was the Prime Minister who sent him away just now."
"Did the Prime Minister say what to do with it?"
"No."
The Prime Minister is the head of the family, and it is not for him, the accountant, to ask what he does with the money.
Aunt Zheng was so angry that she didn't even go back to the yard. She just waited at the door for Bai Changhao to come back.
Bai Changhao walked slowly in from outside in a very good mood, and saw Aunt Zheng standing inside the door with a gloomy face.
Before he could ask what happened, Aunt Zheng took the initiative:
"Prime Minister, where is the money in the account office?"
