bad, i'm a fool

Chapter 15 Tantai Father and Son
"Bianzhou tea ceremony, are there really so many details?"

A teacup was held in Tan Taifu's hand, he still didn't look at Xiao Hongdou, but kept staring at Han Dongwen.

"My lord, if you still remember that Zhong was in Bianzhou a few days ago, people drinking tea there are indeed more trivial than other places. I don't know if there is any reason for this rule. I will try it with Your Highness today, that's all."

Han Dongwen was taken aback, and could hardly believe his ears.

It was actually Zhong Lilin who said this.

What he had expected of the Master Supervisor was that he would not stab himself out, but instead of exposing Xiao Hongdou, Zhong Lilin even helped smooth things over, which Han Dongwen never expected.

Tantaifu snorted with a half-smile, and finally his eyes fell on Xiaohongdou's head for the first time.

"What's your name?"

he asks.

------

"What's your name?"

In the Yingchun Palace, Young Master Tantaiming held a piece of paper in his hand and looked at a maid brought out by Mi Niangniang.

What he had to do when he came to Yingchun Palace today was very simple, but it was to find out if any of the maids in bed were pregnant with Han Dongwen's seed.

If there is, it must not be left behind.

"My lord, the maidservant's name is Bai Yushi."

The maid bowed her head.

Tan Taiming nodded: "There is this."

After hearing this, one of the soldiers behind him stepped forward, raised his hand and threw out a round stone that was as long as a finger: "Take it."

The maid took the stone flake subconsciously, and the stone flake gave off a trace of blue light in her hand.

She let out a long breath, and tears were about to flow from her eyes.

Tan Taiming nodded with a smile: "Well, let's go back."

The maid hurriedly grabbed the hem of her skirt, bowed deeply to express her thanks, and returned to the Yingchun Palace.

"Let me see, the next one is... called Cui Hongting? Come out."

Another maid was called out, and her body was trembling.

The soldier threw her the same flake of stone, but this time, the flake glowed red in her hand.

"My lord, no, I won't..."

She panicked for a moment, lying on the ground incoherently.

"Shh."

Tan Taiming raised a finger and put it in front of his lips: "It's not about your life, but you have to understand who you are, if this child is born, wouldn't it be embarrassing to His Highness?"

His tone was very calm and gentle, as if he was talking about what should be said.

"Go up!"

The soldiers on the side yelled like this, and put the maid into a carriage. She almost bit her lips white, but she was still stuffed into the carriage.

"Cheng Sisi, is there any?"

Hearing this name, Mi Niangniang raised her head: "My lord, this girl was only scheduled to be on duty that day, but His Highness didn't ask her to go, let alone someone who has never been on the dragon bed. Your lord has learned a lesson!"

"So it is."

Tan Taiming nodded thoughtfully: "Since I haven't been on the dragon bed, I'm sure I can't test the happiness stone? Then come and test it quickly, and it won't delay the work, right?"

------

"My lord, the maidservant's surname is Gu, and the name given by my father is Gu Anqi. After entering the palace, everyone calls the maidservant Xiao Hongdou."

This was the first time that Han Dongwen knew Xiaohongdou's name.

Tan Taifu looked at Xiao Hongdou, and then at the teacup in his hand: "Do you know that in the National Military Division, if a servant dares to talk too much, what will happen?"

Like an electric current rushing through her back, her heart beat suddenly.

"Snapped!"

A hot slap was thrown on her face.

"Bad maid! Do you understand the rules!"

Han Dongwen's handprints were clearly printed on Xiao Hongdou's face.

After slapping him, he turned around and bowed deeply: "Don't pay attention to the nonsense of this slut, these few days I left her in the harem for a few more days, and I am so brave, I... you, Calm down."

Han Dongwen bowed so deeply that even the back of his head was exposed.

Naturally, Xiao Hongdou fell to her knees with a "plop", and didn't dare to say a word.

Tan Taifu pondered for a while, then said in a deep voice: "It seems that His Highness likes this maid."

Han Dongwen raised his head and sneered: "This, this is not true, it is, it is..."

Having said that, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and looked sideways at Little Red Bean, showing the appearance of a lustful evil spirit.

------

In the Palace of Yingchun, there were 13 maidservants that His Highness had the honor to visit this time.

The two found out that they were happy and needed to be dealt with.

Tan Taiming watched the carriage take the two people far away, finally stretched his shoulders and neck as if he had been tired for a long time, and laughed.

Mi Niangniang was still standing respectfully by the side of his black horse, with her hands down and her head bowed.

"By the way, Manager Mi."

Tan Taiming raised his eyebrows, as if he suddenly remembered something: "That Cheng Sisi's, you said she was on duty but not on the list, so why isn't the duty on the list?"

"My lord, the substitute is a girl named Xiao Hongdou, and today is only the second day of duty, less than a month."

Mi Niangniang bowed in response.

"Little Red Bean..."

Tan Taiming smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, let's talk about it in a month."

------

Outside Taishu Pavilion, Han Dongwen took Xiaohongdou for about thirty steps before stopping.

The door of the pavilion has turned the corner behind him, so he should be relieved.

Han Dongwen still only felt a chill on his back.

He slowed down, making sure that no one was around, and turned around with a bitter smile on his face.

"Did it hurt just now?"

Xiao Hongdou covered her face and looked at Han Dongwen many times.

"Did the servant do something wrong?"

After speaking, she suddenly realized that there was no one around, and said, "I, I know you are here to protect me, it's luck that your face hurts."

Han Dongwen nodded: "You were very smart just now, but you were still a little reckless."

He spread his hands and laughed at himself: "I, the emperor, only have a name left. Now you know that I am not a big character, right? So, naturally, there is no need to have so much pressure."

Xiaohongdou blinked her eyes: "You...you are willing to protect me, it is quite different from what the people in Yingchun Palace said."

"In the Spring Palace..."

Han Dongwen sighed, "Forget it, I did those things in the past, who in this palace can look at me seriously, let's count our luck today."

Xiaohongdou shook her head when she heard this: "Xiaohongdou can see it, so there must be someone else who can see it too."

She paused, and then said: "If Mr. Zhong hadn't rescued the siege just now, I'm afraid you have come out alone now."

After listening to her words, Han Dongwen cheered up a little, and adjusted his previous depressed mood.

Today, when I came to Taishu Pavilion, I met Tantai Fu by mistake. As the chief commander of the National Military Division, he must be one of the people in power.

And my former teacher Wen Yongxing did not sell himself, and Zhong Lilin's attitude towards him was actually better than he thought.

This trip, although thrilling, has gained a lot!

"You said earlier that Zhong Lilin's father, Zhong Sheng, was guarding Haizhou according to my order. After he failed and hanged himself, Zhong Lilin was also removed from office by me and thrown here in Taishu Pavilion."

Han Dongwen said it so much that he wanted to laugh: "Why should he help me?"
