C370 Since when did he have a warm heart?

New Year's Eve was a sunny day. Due to the empress's funeral, all of the red lanterns in the mansion had been plucked, and everyone wore plain clothes. Although there was no new year atmosphere, there was still a sense of joy on their faces.

Since morning, Morong Gan had locked himself in the study room since the day he woke up. Hao Pingguan knew that because of the incident with the Little Princess, his highness felt sad, so he didn't dare to disturb him, but … He hesitated for a moment at the door, then knocked.

Morong Gan's voice was calm and indifferent, "Come in."

Hao Pingguan pushed the door and entered, "Your highness, it's New Year's Eve today, and as for Grand Consort, what do you think?"

Although the relationship between Prince Chu and him was never good, he had never been lacking in matters of etiquette. However, the last time Little Princess suffered and came back to the palace, the Marquis' face was long pulled back, and he was not able to calm down for a few days. If he did not mention the Grand Consort Rui, the relationship between mother and son would probably be even worse than before.

Morong Gan was busy organizing his documents, with a thick stack of reports stacked neatly. He put it away in a drawer and said, "As usual."

Hao Pingguan asked, "As usual, are you sending it over personally?"

"No, send someone over."

"Yes, this servant knows," Hao Pingguan turned around and was about to leave, but then remembered, "Does Your Highness have anything to say to Grand Consort?"

Morong Gan's cold eyes swept across, Hao Pingguan could not help but shiver, immediately bowing and retreating, "This servant understands."

On the thirtieth day of the new year, there was no food at noon. The adults were hungry, so the children could eat two snacks to fill their stomachs, and when they reached the main entrance of the restaurant, they would set up a round table, which was not commonly used, with plates of dishes arranged in a circle. In the middle of the table, there was a big bowl of elbow meat, which was also a small plate of cold plate.

In the past, Morong Gan would always go to the palace to accompany Grand Consort Rui to eat New Year's Eve dinner. Since he was not going this year, Hao Pingguan decided to ask for instructions.

Morong Gan sat under the window with a book in his hands and stared at the book, but he did not flip through the pages of the book even after a long time. Hao Pingguan was not sure if he had heard himself speaking, so he asked again, "Your highness, it's already time for the competition, shall I set the table?"

Morong Gan raised his head and looked at the sky, "It's still early, wait a little longer."

Hao Pingguan responded. He bent his body and left, and saw Huangfu Zhuer standing on the porch, she seemed to be unsettled, and would look towards the door from time to time, as though she was waiting for someone. He was somewhat baffled. The prince was sitting in her room, seemingly at peace, but her mind was preoccupied. Miss Huangfu was not as demure and demure as usual. Could it be that someone really wanted to come?

He slowly walked forward and heard Lv He say to Qi Hong on the corridor, "Looking at her flustered look, she must be afraid that the wangfei would come back, which would be useless. Since it's New Year's Eve, this grandpa will definitely bring her back for a reunion dinner. Just watch and see. This time, when I get back, I will definitely not leave again. "

Hao Pingguan didn't know why he was going crazy, probably because it was New Year's Day today and nothing was taboo, but he said without thinking, "I think Miss is worrying for nothing, the wangfei has already left, how will she come back?"

"Gone?" The two maidservants were shocked.

Especially Qi Hong, who grabbed his sleeves, her face pale. "Head Steward, you have to be clear, why did the wangfei leave? Where did she go?"

"Miss is asking me a question," Hao Pingguan said. "The wangfei ran away two days ago, how would I know where she went?"

This news was simply too shocking. Qi Hong's legs went soft, her eyelids rolled, and actually fell onto the ground. Hao Pingguan immediately went to help her, but there was someone who was faster than him, in a flash, that person had already pulled Qi Hong into her embrace.

Only now did he clearly see that the one holding onto Qi Hong was Ning Jiu, it was not strange that Ning Jiu had such quick movements, but what he found strange was that Ning Jiu was a cold person, how could he be willing to help?

Lv He, who was at the side, was also dumbstruck, and stared at him in a daze.

Ning Jiu's face slightly blushed, but his expression was still cold. "Are you just going to watch like this?"

As if she had just awoken from a dream, Lv He exclaimed and hurriedly led the way, "Sorry to trouble you, but please send me back to my room."

Ning Jiu followed behind with Qi Hong in his arms, he lowered his head and looked at the person in his embrace, and frowned slightly, seeing that it was a tall and slender figure, why did he not hold anything in his hands?

Lv He pulled up the curtain and waited for him. When he stepped onto the threshold, Ning Jiu bent his waist and did not stick to it, but the moment he bent down, he smelt the faint smell of an orchid coming from Qi Hong's body. The blush on his face spread all the way down to his neck.

He placed Qi Hong on the bed, and in front of Lv He, he unhesitatingly took Qi Hong's arm, took her pulse, held his breath and probed for a while, then said, "There's nothing major wrong with her, let her rest. Give her some hot water when she wakes up." With that, he turned around and left.

He walked very quickly, and when Lv He finished tucking Qi Hong in and turned around, Ning Jiu had already lifted the curtain and went out. She chased after him to the door: "Ning Jiu, thank you."

Ning Jiu turned his head to look at her, but didn't show any expression at all.

A few years had passed, and it could be said that they didn't have any sort of relationship with Ning Jiu. When they first met, was it still how they were now?

Jia Tong turned around and saw Lv He staring at her back in a daze. Her heart skipped a beat. She had her eyes on Ning Jiu?

He angrily rushed over, and brought his face closer to Lv He: "What are you looking at?"

Just as Lv He was in a daze, she was shocked by him, and angrily hit him with all her might: "Die, even your soul is scared away by you!"

"What are you talking about, it's the new year. Hurry up and spit out the foam."

Lv He was aware of her slip of tongue, she spat at her three times, and just as she raised his head, Jia Tong called out to her with a bitter face, "Wife."

Lv He frowned, "What nonsense are you talking about, who's your wife?"

Jia Tong panicked when he heard her. In the past, when he called her his wife, although she would not agree, he was still a shy and angry little girl.

Without waiting for him to regain his senses, Lv He saw that nobody was around and pulled him in.

This sudden action caught Jia Tong off guard, and his previous dejected mood immediately soared. After entering the door, he took the opportunity to press Lv He against the wall, hoping to get something good out of it.

Lv He fiercely kicked on his knee, and bellowed: Get up!

Jia Tong hurriedly grabbed his tail and retreated two steps back in anger.

Lv He glared at him, "Let me ask you, do you know about the matter of the wangfei running away?"

"I only found out yesterday when I came out of the palace."

"Why didn't you tell me?"

Jia Tong opened his mouth, but could not answer.

"Alright then, you've exposed yourself, right? What do you mean by 'the world is closest to me'? You didn't hide anything from me, did you? Did you lie to me? Such a big thing happened, yet you didn't tell me?"

Jia Tong said in a meek voice, "I thought you knew."

"I know a hammer!" Lv He was so angry that she wanted to curse, "What did I say? "Should I look for him or not?"

Jia Tong slowly took a step back towards the door, then took another step back, "Your Highness said he won't look for me."

"Hey, my bad temper …" Lv He looked around angrily, wanting to fuck this guy up.

Jia Tong quickly escaped and ran a distance away. He let out a sigh of relief and said depressingly: "Why did you hit me if you're not looking for me? If you have the ability, then hit me."
