Hao Pingguan knelt on the ground when he entered the door: "Lord Wang, the old slave is guilty." "It's better to take the initiative to confess than to be interrogated by the prince.

Murong Mian looked at it coldly, "Tell me, what did you do?" ”

Listening to Murong Mian's unkind tone, Hao Pingguan's heart became more and more bottomless, on the day of marriage, the princess mistakenly broke into the Huailin Pavilion and caused him to be beaten by the board, this time he couldn't run away, he drooped his head, and his voice was terrified, "Go back to the prince, the princess is here in the courtyard today, and help the red and green lotus make acacia cakes." ”

Murong Mian glanced at the cake on the table, so to speak, this cake also has her credit, he just ate the cake made by the enemy's daughter, but he didn't care about this, and straightened his face, "It's okay for the princess to not understand the rules, but as the chief manager, it's a little unreasonable." ”

Hao Pingguan's forehead was sweating, "The old slave told the princess, but the princess said......" He looked up and glanced at Murong Mian, and said stubbornly, "She is not an outsider, she is the prince's newly married daughter-in-law, and she slept in the same bed for the first night." ”

Murong Mian was drinking tea with a cup, and when he heard this, he squirted out a mouthful of water. There were so many sporadic splashes on Hao Pingguan's face, and he didn't dare to reach out and wipe them.

Murong Mian didn't know whether to laugh or be angry, Bai Qianfan was right, they did sleep in the same bed the first night, he was so impressed by the events of that day that he felt ridiculous every time he thought about it, but she said that she was not an outsider...... Hum! This treats oneself as an outsider.

He was silent for a moment, tapped his fingers on the table, and said slowly, "Since the princess said so, then don't stop her in the future, let her come if she wants to." ”

Hao Pingguan was taken aback, can he let the little princess walk around Huailin Pavilion at will? It's easy to say in other places, what about the study, the prince's study is a forbidden place in the house, except for two guards, two maids and him, no one is allowed to enter, the prince is so wary of the little princess, she is a person from the Baixiang Mansion after all!

He hesitated for a moment, "What does the prince mean, the princess can walk around at will in the Huailin Pavilion?" ”

"Hmm."

"Anywhere? Including this study? ”

Murong Mian laughed, "She said that she is not an outsider, so this king simply won't defend herself." ”

Hao Pingguan saw him smiling, his face calmed down, and he also put his mind at ease, seeing that Murong Mian didn't call him up, he asked tentatively, "If the prince has no other instructions, the slave will go down to the board." "Since the little princess is allowed to enter the palace, then he will not be punished.

Who knew that Murong Mian lifted his eyelids, mumbled, and picked up a pen to write an excerpt.

Hao Pingguan snorted in frustration, withdrew gently, and just arrived at the door, he heard Murong Mian's cool voice, "Next time, if you don't tell me in time, don't sit in the position of the chief manager." ”

Hao Pingguan knew the reason why he was really punished, if the prince didn't rub the sand in his eyes, it was impossible to get lucky, so let's take the punishment.

As soon as Hao Pingguan left, Murong Mian put down the pen and took out a secret letter from a pile of documents, which was a complaint against Prime Minister Bai's brother-in-law Li Gang for occupying fertile land and oppressing the people.

In the eyes of the people, this is a big deal, but in Li Gang's eyes, this matter is not worth mentioning at all, there is a niece who is a concubine, a brother-in-law who is a prime minister, and a father who is a second-class official, who can help him?

This kind of situation was also handed to the emperor, but for the emperor, how could a common man compare to the prime minister who held real power, it was just a pretense to reprimand Prime Minister Bai and ask him to discipline him strictly. Now that this situation has been presented, it is estimated that it will end up the same way.

It is said that the prince is guilty of the same crime as the people, but how many can really do it? Murong Mian smiled bitterly, wrote a few words on the shape with a pen, and held it down for the time being.

He had to do it, but he couldn't thunder loudly and rain little, and in the end he was disturbed by the emperor. So don't move Li Gang for now, and find a breakthrough from elsewhere, Bai Qianfan is the breakthrough he wants to find.

Ran to him for no reason, either a traitor or a thief, it's not a good thing, killed two maids who knew about it, and now you want to take his life directly?

It's better for him to simply invite the king into the urn, and when the time comes, he will murder the prince of the clan, this crime will be big, even if the emperor wants to follow his own interests, the kings of the clan, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty cannot agree. Isn't it easy to bring down Prime Minister Bai Cheng and clean up Li Gang?

He really has high hopes for Bai Qianfan now, hoping that the little girl will not live up to his expectations.

She wanted to come to Huailin Pavilion, so he opened the door for her to come in, waiting for her to come and murder him.

Walking on the road next to the board, the more Hao Pingguan thought about it, the more wrong it became, how could he listen to the tone of the prince, it seemed that he really wanted the princess to go to Huailin Pavilion, could it be that he stayed together for one night, it was really eye-catching? No, with the size of the little princess, a man should look down on it.

But the more he pondered, the more he felt that his guess was not wrong, and after being by the prince's side for twenty years, this intuition would not be wrong.

He didn't know if the little princess would go to Huailin Pavilion again, but the prince wanted her to go, if she didn't go, wouldn't it be a waste of the prince's hard work?

In order to atone for his sins, he turned a corner halfway and went to Lanyue Pavilion, but the maid didn't know anything about Bai Qianfan's whereabouts. He knew that the little princess Shenlong saw the head and the end, and originally sent the little maid to follow him every day, but then he lost it himself, so he was embarrassed to send someone again.

Now what? He walked out of the door of Lanyue Pavilion, helpless, and followed Xiao Kuzi to make an idea for him, "Boss, let's just stay here, until noon, can the princess come back for dinner?" ”

Hao Pingguan remembered the few cakes that the little princess grabbed before leaving, and shook his head in frustration, "The princess has food on her, and she can't be hungry." ”

Xiao Kuzi rolled his eyes, and remembered again, "There is sesame oil in the acacia cake made by the red girl, but it is fragrant, why don't we go to the garden and take a look, maybe we can smell it." ”

Hao Pingguan thought for a moment, "I'm guarding here, you go to find the princess, you don't have to miss it." ”

Xiao Kuzi said yes, strode to the other end of the garden, just walked a few steps, and saw a person in front of him, holding his head high, walking in the noon sun, full of vitality, like a thriving small seedling. It was Bai Qianfan.

He was overjoyed, and was about to call her, when someone swooped past him, and gave Bai Qianfan a shy old face: "Where did the princess come from?" ”

Hao Pingguan was so warm and polite, Bai Qianfan was a little frightened, "The chief manager is looking for me?" ”

Hao Pingguan paused for a moment, he couldn't say that the prince wanted her to go to Huailin Pavilion, the prince didn't say it at all, it was all his own speculation, he was going to mess it up, hurt the prince's face, I'm afraid she would have to be whipped.

He changed the subject, "The princess hasn't had lunch yet, has she?" ”

"No," Bai Qianfan looked at him with bright eyes, and when he saw Hao Pingguan, he remembered Huailin Pavilion, there was crimson in Huailin Pavilion, and there were many delicious foods, when would it be beautiful to go to my sister's place to eat a serious meal.

Hao Pingguan said, "The princess was in a hurry in the morning, and the red girl originally wanted to keep the princess for lunch, saying that she was going to make eight treasure duck for you to taste." ”

"Really?" Bai Qianfan's eyes suddenly lit up, and then darkened, "It's a pity that the prince is back." ”

Hao Pingguan was waiting for this sentence, and immediately added oil and vinegar, "The prince knows that you went to Huailin Pavilion today, and he is very happy, saying that the princess is not an outsider, and you must not stop you when you come." ”

"Really?" Bai Qianfan flicked his oily sleeves in the middle of winter, "Then what are you waiting for, let's go, my sister's eight-treasure duck is done, right?" ”

Hao Pingguan: "...... Come on, the minion asked Xiao Kuzi to send you in, and the minion has other important matters......"

"You're busy with you," Bai Qianfan greeted Xiao Kuzi familiarly, "Let's go, I'm really hungry." ”
