Chapter 399
"The third emperor's grandson is the eldest son of the prince, and the prince is the only son of the empress. Jingui's son is the emperor's grandson, and he is the best candidate for the emperor's grandson. It became his only weakness, but the little grandson was rescued. In the past, the mansion and the East Palace had always had an indirect relationship, but now it happens to take this opportunity to become a direct relationship. How can a person as shrewd as the prince miss this opportunity."

Bai Kou explained slowly while watching Shizi's footsteps vigilantly.

"I'm ashamed to say that you just left him at the beginning and didn't care about it. If the child didn't follow you by himself, you might have to throw him again."

"Well, the servant girl has screwed up two people. How could she take the child out to find his family? When Marquis Wu asked, what would the servant girl do if the child told the truth? That's why I had to run away quickly." Okay. Besides, the servant girl doesn't know him as the emperor's grandson. He only thinks he is a child of a wealthy family. The adults will definitely look for him nearby. As long as he cries casually on the street, Marquis Wu will rush over immediately to treat him. The wounded searched the scene and asked for confessions, and by the time they finished their work, the servant girl had already disappeared."

"quibble."

"The truth."

Seeing the crown prince approaching, Bai Kou took two steps back obliquely, but Gu Yun suddenly launched a sneak attack, easily grabbed Bai Kou and brought him back to the Arhat couch, and the two squeezed into the seat between the couch table and the armrest.

"Well, well, what do you want to say?"

"There's nothing to say, you've already made predictions, so I won't bother you."

Bai Kou suddenly felt like he was being tricked, and he didn't have any temper with this young master.

"Okay, as long as you're happy, maidservant first..."

"No." Gu Yun interrupted Bai Kou without waiting for her to finish, "You are not the only one in charge of the mansion, you haven't taken over Mama Pang's shift yet, it is her business to inform the West Kitchen to continue entertaining the emperor's and grandson's followers tomorrow. , you don’t overdo it on your behalf.”

"Oh."

Gu Yun touched Bai Kou's head, took off his shoes and sat on the couch, with a pile of cushions on his back, his right leg stretched out from under the couch, his left leg was bent, his left hand was around Bai Kou's waist, and his bent The left knee was right against her back so that both of them could sit comfortably.

Bai Kou sat for a while, but he didn't see Shi Zi talking. Turning his head, he saw that he had fallen asleep with his eyes closed, but just when he was about to gently take his hand away, Gu Yun woke up sensitively.

"What are you messing with?"

"You kicked onto the couch just now, the maid just wanted to take the tea tray away so as not to overturn it." Bai Kou said with a sincere and innocent face, as if she really thought so.

"Nonsense, you think I'm asleep?"

Bai Kou stuck out her tongue.

Gu Yun retracted his left leg suddenly, but Bai Kou was unprepared, his back suddenly emptied, and she fell backwards, Gu Yun stretched out his hand to hug and pull her, and pulled her into his arms, laying her left leg flat on the mat. The crook of her legs made it difficult for her to get up.

"Stay honest, I'll sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy."

"Oh."

Gu Yun hugged Bai Kou with both hands, pressed his chin against her cheek, closed his eyes and fell asleep again, the breath of his breath blowing her bangs.

Bai Kou felt more and more like a big doll, and decided to sew him a full-length pillow when he had the chance, and let him sleep with the pillow in his arms. The current position is awkward and uncomfortable.

Gu Yun slept peacefully this time, and no one came in from outside. Bai Kou boldly leaned against Shi Zi's chest, and after a long time, she also became sleepy again, and fell asleep unknowingly.

In a daze, Bai Kou felt itchy on her forehead, as if there were bugs flying around her face, she subconsciously raised her hand to wave it, but couldn't lift it, then opened her eyes suddenly, facing Gu Yun's eyes are smiling.

"Hey, son~~~"

"Did you sleep comfortably?"

"Well~~, it's pretty good." Bai Kou nodded generously.

Gu Yun was annoyed and funny at Bai Kou's frankness, he kissed her heavily on the cheek, and finally let her go to the ground.

"Okay, okay, go do your work, let you sleep enough tomorrow night."

Bai Kou stood on the ground smoothing out her wrinkled clothes and skirts, smiled and saluted and ran away.

Gu Yun leisurely went to the study room, stood in front of the bookshelf in a daze, wanted to read but didn't want to read, February is the spring, now it's useless to hold Buddha's feet temporarily, he wandered back and forth in front of the bookshelf for a few times and finally gave up, Walk out the door and go for a walk in the back garden.

Bai Kou went all the way to the East Kitchen, and stopped by to look at the ice cellar and the second-bedroom courtyard. The girls who were recovering from their injuries lived comfortably these few days, with sufficient food and medicine, and their expectations for future life, their spirits and spirits also returned. Yes, the small courtyard is full of laughter now.

Arriving at the East Kitchen, Bai Kou asked Zeng Zhu to confirm tomorrow's menu, because the princess and the emperor's grandson were coming again, so they needed to add a few more dishes. After everything was arranged, Bai Kou also went to the back garden to check the roasted lamb tomorrow. The bonfire of the legs is not ready.

There is a small firewood room in the waterside pavilion, in which there are charcoal used to burn the earth dragon and the fire wall, and hundreds of catties of fruit wood for roasting the leg of lamb have been piled up inside. There are separate seats for men and women, men's seats are on the first floor, women's seats are on the second floor, there is only half a hall on the third floor, and the other half is an open platform for viewing the scenery. It is very comfortable to hold banquets there in summer, but last year the mansion just gave birth to a filial piety. , There are many things to do, and there are few banquets. I am afraid that this summer will be lively every day.

After checking the first floor, Bai Kou went to the second floor. When he was about to go downstairs after checking, he was standing at the stairs but heard strange movements from the third floor. Out of curiosity, he went upstairs to have a look.

The door of the hall on the third floor is wide open. The inside is the same as downstairs. There are soft partitions that can divide the hall into small rooms at any time. Bai Kou walked directly through the hall and saw that the door to the outside platform was also open. The servant who thought it was sweeping the floor went upstairs to clean it.

But when Bai Kou stepped out, facing the corner of the unobstructed platform of the artificial lake, a pair of men and women were flirting, and a piling activity suddenly started amidst giggling laughter. The whole platform floated into Bai Kou's ears, the woman facing Bai Kou raised her head and couldn't see her face clearly, and the man with her back to Bai Kou didn't know who it was, but she could only judge from the clothes that it should be a young master from the house , either the Eldest Young Master or the Second Young Master, anyway, it's not the decoration on the clothes of the Crown Prince, and the other young masters are still young and not tall enough.

Suddenly seeing this scene in broad daylight, Bai Kou was a little stunned. Just as she was about to leave quietly, a hand was stretched out from behind to cover her mouth tightly, and the other hand wrapped around her waist, forcing her to leave. Picking her feet off the ground, she quickly evacuated without a sound, and the two people who were walking on the platform didn't notice any other movement at all.
