Upon hearing this, Bai Li glanced at him discreetly.
To tell or not to tell?
Would it be inappropriate to reveal what I saw that night?
Will Eunuch Wang think she's a hooligan?
Thinking of this, she swallowed hard, feeling conflicted.
Wang Houde glanced at her, then simply took her hand and walked to a quiet, secluded spot nearby.
"Alright, there's no one here. If something's on your mind, just say it," he encouraged.
Bai Li glanced around to make sure no one was nearby before saying, "Are you sure you want me to say it?"
"Speak," Wang Houde said, releasing her hand, opening the food box, and handing her the plate of eight-treasure duck.
The enticing aroma immediately filled the air, and Bai Li couldn't resist. She reached out, took a piece, and began to eat.
Wang Houde didn't rush her. He waited until she had almost finished eating before asking, "What is it? I hope you can tell me."
Bai Li glanced at the food she had finished, then at his gentle expression, and then at the things that had been bothering her for the past few days. She could only whisper, "I know you're not a eunuch."
Upon hearing this, Wang Houde looked at her with some surprise, "How did you know?"
Bai Li lowered her head and whispered, "Weren't you drunk the other night?"
Wang Houde stared at her, dumbfounded. "You took advantage of my drunkenness and then peeked at me..."
"I wasn't peeking." Bai Li quickly interrupted her. Although she did want to pull down his pants and peek that night, she didn't do it in the end.
Thinking of this, she said confidently, "You changed your pants in front of me, and then, and then I saw it..." As she spoke, her voice lowered and her face flushed.
Wang Houde: "..."
It took him a long time to process this information, and he found it hard to believe.
"So, that night when I was drunk, you were the one who helped me back to my room?"
“Yes.” Bai Li glanced at him and couldn’t help but boast, “I even washed your face.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Houde smiled and patted her head with amusement, saying, "Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work at all." Bai Li was a little embarrassed. Washing her face was nothing difficult.
Wang Houde paused, coughed lightly, and asked, "So you know I'm not a eunuch anymore, shouldn't you be happy? Why are you avoiding me instead?"
Bai Li was stunned for a moment. Yes, she really should be happy.
Because she's going to marry him soon, and if he's not a eunuch, they can have a baby together and have their own child.
Thinking of this, she nodded and said happily, "Yes, I really should be happy."
Seeing how easily she was coaxed, Wang Houde was both amused and exasperated. "Then why didn't you say why you were avoiding me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Li couldn't help but glance down, then snapped back, turned around, and shook her head. "It's nothing."
But how could Wang Houde not have noticed her little action just now?
He vaguely understood something and immediately felt a little uneasy. "Did I scare you?"
Bai Li nodded, then suddenly turned around and blurted out, "I've seen children pee before, why is yours different?"
Wang Houde hesitated for a moment, unsure how to answer the question.
He glanced at her, reached out and put the plate from her hand back into the food box, then patted her head and said with a smile, "I'll answer that question for you on our wedding night. Okay, that's all, you should go back now, I have to get back to work."
"Oh." Bai Li walked blankly towards Luanfeng Palace, but she felt a little uneasy. She felt that Eunuch Wang's smile was somewhat sinister, which made her very uneasy.
As soon as the two walked away, two more people emerged from behind the artificial hill.
The two women stared at each other for a long while before Green Fairy couldn't help but break the silence, "Miss, did we just eavesdrop?"
Holding her daughter, Wen Nongnong said matter-of-factly, "No, we were here first."
She had just taken her daughter to the Imperial Study with Lü Qiao.
In the past two days, Gu Linchao has gone so far as to take Gu Huaijin to the Imperial Study, saying that he wants to start raising his son right now.
She initially refused, but her son was really well-behaved. His father took him to the imperial study for a whole day, and he didn't make a fuss at all, so she let the father and son do as they pleased.
Despite this, she still goes over to check on things from time to time.
I never expected that when I came from the Imperial Study and passed by here, I would see Wang Houde dragging Bai Li over from afar.
She instinctively pulled Lü Qiao into the artificial hill, and then they heard every word the two of them said.
Thinking of what Bai Li had just said, she wanted to laugh.
However, she thought Bai Li would probably only find out about Wang Houde's secret on their wedding night, but she didn't expect that she would discover it ahead of time.
Although Lü Qiao also found Bai Li's words laughable, she held back.
She coughed lightly and said, "Miss, let's go back first."
“Okay.” Wen Nongnong nodded.
When they returned to their bedchamber and saw Bai Li, the two pretended not to know anything.
The next day.
Si Lan, Su Qianqian, and Lu Yingying entered the palace.
Si Lan took out the finished clothes and handed them to Wen Nongnong, "These are clothes and pants I made for the two little ones."
Wen Nongnong reached out and took it, unfolded it and looked at it, and said with great joy, "It's so beautiful. I thank their godmother on behalf of the two little ones."
Si Lan said with a smile, "I'm glad you don't mind."
"No, no, this was made by the little ones' godmother, stitch by stitch. How could I, their own mother who can't embroider, possibly complain? Besides, your workmanship is so good that even the palace embroiderers can't compare."
Wen Nongnong wasn't exaggerating. Si Lan's embroidery skills were indeed excellent, and she put her heart into it. Every piece of clothing she made for the two little ones was very good.
"If you keep praising me like this, I'll really forget who I am," Si Lan sighed. Then she reached out and took Yao Yao from her arms, looked around the hall, and not seeing Gu Huaijin, couldn't help but ask, "Why don't I see Xiao Jin?"
"His father took him to the Imperial Study," Wen Nongnong said helplessly.
"Why take it to the Imperial Study?" Su Qianqian asked curiously.
Si Lan and Lu Yingying were also very curious.
“Your Majesty means that we should start training Xiao Jin now,” Wen Nongnong explained.
Upon hearing this, the three immediately understood.
The Emperor is clearly grooming Xiao Jin to be the Crown Prince.
“But the little prince is still so young… this must be so hard for him.” Su Qianqian couldn’t help but say, feeling a little sorry for Xiao Jin, who had to start training at such a young age.
