C223 Don't you dare flatten me down

It was rare for them to be so well-organized, so the Grand Consort Rui was happy and kept them to eat.

Although his relationship with his own mother had never been harmonious, this was, after all, a woman who was born pregnant with ten months of difficulty. No matter how unhappy she was, it would slowly fade into a shallow mark as time passed. Seeing that the Grand Consort was so happy, he did not want to pour cold water on her, so he agreed.

Gu Qingdie was naturally happy that she could find her own sense of existence here, unlike the Prince Chu Palace, where Morong Gan threw her in the backyard and ignored her. Bai Qianfan did not mind, she was fine with anything as long as she was not hungry.

Seeing this mother and son daughter-in-law sitting around a table, Huang Youdao and Senior Servant Rong were truly happy from the bottom of their hearts. Every time Prince Chu came to greet him, it was as if he had placed orders. Not to mention eating, he didn't even finish a cup of tea and just left after a few words. Every time he came, Grand Consort would always be happy, but once he left, the corners of Grand Consort's mouth drooped down, making them sad as well.

They knew about this mother and son pair's mental knot. It was not something that could be easily untied in a day or a day. However, sitting down to eat together was not far from filial piety. As slaves, they hoped for their masters to be good, but as long as their masters were good, they could be good.

Because his son's wife came over, Grand Consort ordered another serving of the dishes in the kitchen. A table was set up with eyes filled with food, which Bai Qianfan was most interested in, she could not even catch a glimpse of the dishes, with her eyes blinking, her face full of joy, Grand Consort Rui, seeing this, could not help but sigh. The ones who didn't know might have thought that they were just some small fry, but they didn't know the rules at all.

Morong Gan was used to seeing Bai Qianfan like this, so he did not think much of it.

Bai Qianfan raised her head and looked at the food eunuch standing behind him. Suddenly, she remembered what happened on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Bai Qianfan secretly observed the Grand Consort Rui and Gu Qingdie eating. The maximum amount of dishes used for eating was two times, she definitely wouldn't use her chopsticks for the third time, she had learnt to do it, no matter how much she liked it, she could endure it. In any case, once they returned to the Prince Chu Palace, she could eat whatever she wanted, but here, she could not lose face for the Prince Chu.

This was the first time Morong Gan had seen her eat so elegantly like her, but upon closer inspection, he understood in his heart. He found it funny and took two more chopsticks from the dish she liked, "If you like it, then eat more."

Bai Qianfan quickly expressed her thanks and smiled at him. She really liked the Snow Toad's belly, it was warm and had a bit of chewing, and although the Bu Cai eunuch gave her two chopsticks, it was gone before it could taste anything.

Gu Qingdie lowered his eyes, but a flash of sadness in his eyes caught the Grand Consort Rui's attention.

She coughed and said, "Oh, don't be so busy with Princess Hua-Yang. You can also give food to Qingdie."

Morong Gan responded with an "En". Without even looking, he casually picked up a bowl of food and placed it on Gu Qingdie's plate. Out of the corner of his eyes, he glanced at Bai Qianfan.

However, he also knew that it was an extravagant hope. The little girl looked at him with a smile and looked very happy, asking Gu Qingdie, "Big sister likes to eat streaky pork, huh?"

Gu Qingdie forced a smile, "Not bad." Actually, the pork was not fat. It had been roasted over a small fire to be dried off. It had a lot of chew to it, but no matter how tasty it was, no gold coin lady liked to eat it. She picked it up and carefully bit into a piece of lean meat. It was very dry and had the taste of crispy butter. It would be best if it could be used as a side dish for men. She did not love it.

However, this was given to her by the Prince Chu, she was not even able to eat it, which made it seem like she was taking the risk. She refused to give him an explanation, and with a harden heart, the entire piece of soup entered her mouth, chewing and swallowing twice, quickly drinking two more mouthfuls of soup, finally suppressing the fishy smell.

Seeing that she was eating heartily, Bai Qianfan asked: "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious."

"Me too." She lifted up the plate and looked at Morong Gan.

Morong Gan picked out a thin piece of meat and gave it to her, "There's some oil, just one piece will do."

Since the same dish was given to different people, the attitude towards it would naturally be different as well. Gu Qingdie's heart was ruthlessly stung; the joy she gave her by giving her the dish previously flew away, and what remained was only resentment and jealousy. That was also her man, but to this day she was a widow! To a woman, this was both a tragedy and a despair.

She would not let herself be defeated in a single blow. She, Gu Qingdie, must be the one who laughed till the very end, the victor!

After finishing his meal and drinking some tea, Morong Gan left with his wife. The Grand Consort Rui personally sent it to the door, where Huang You and the others prepared a palanquin. Morong Gan waved his hand, "There's no need, I will just squeeze together with Princess Hua-Yang."

She was referring to Bai Qianfan, of course. She had personally lifted the curtain to let her sit inside while she followed behind her. Huang Youdao found it funny, but Grand Consort Rui shook her head inwardly. Her originally calm and rational grandfather had become so formless after being touched by Bai Qianfan.

The palanquin was not big, it was crowded when there was only one person sitting inside, and that was two people. Morong Gan was a man with a strong frame, and with that one move, he managed to land on Bai Qianfan's body. Bai Qianfan shouted, "Aiya, don't flatten me out."

He gave a stifled laugh, picked her up, sat down, and put her on his lap. He had wanted to do this for a long time, but he had never found a chance.

Bai Qianfan called out and laughed, but everyone outside could hear him clearly. Even though she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she could tell from this little bit of evidence how intimate their relationship was.

Grand Consort Rui was surprised. In front of her, Morong Gan also had a smile on his face, but that smile was stiff and stiff. It was a smile that came straight to the eyes, not to mention a casual smile from the bottom of his heart.

Gu Qingdie sat in the palanquin, her nails digging into her palms. If they were in the Palace, she might not be this angry, but in front of the Grand Consort Rui, Morong Gan obviously did not put her, a concubine, in his eyes. It was also true that she was just a concubine, how could he possibly care about her, but she was feeling wronged here. She was better than Bai Qianfan in everything, and even the Grand Consort Rui liked her.

Bai Qianfan ate and drank to her heart's content, she laid against Morong Gan's chest lazily. The palanquin swayed, and her eyes squinted like a kitten's. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with relying on Morong Gan like this. The longer they lived together, the more dependent she would be on Morong Gan, and in her heart, she had already treated him as her closest person. No matter where he was, as long as he was there, she could be at ease.

Morong Gan lowered his head and secretly kissed the top of her head.

Bai Qianfan was already confused, she replied, "I like it."

Morong Gan hesitated before asking, "I like it … Grand Consort? "

"I like it."

Morong Gan was relieved. Since he liked his, then there would be no problem with his wife.

He still wanted to ask, "Do you like me?"

The words rolled at the tip of his tongue, but in the end, he did not ask. For the time being, he would do it this way.
