The Salted Fish Concubine of the Qing Dynasty

21-25

Chapter 21

Geng Qingning put down her bowl and chopsticks, and was so anxious that she turned around. Grape was afraid to speak as if she was facing a powerful enemy. She didn't know what the homework was, and it must be the private conversation between the Fourth Prince and the princess.

Geng Qingning was really in a dilemma. It was not impossible to write it now, but the salted fish system was still watching her covetously.

However, the Fourth Prince would be angry and lose favor at most, and if the task was not completed, it would cost her life. Between the two evils, Geng Qingning made up her mind and closed her eyes to find an excuse, saying that a cat came to the courtyard today, and she was delayed for a long time and actually forgot about it.

Eunuch Quan couldn't help but complain in his heart. Could it be that after being pampered for a few days, Geng Gege became arrogant? How could he explain to the master that she had forgotten what he said casually? If the master was angry, no one would have a good ending.

Seeing his apprentice return to the front yard with a drooping face, Su Peisheng thought it was not good and shrank himself against the wall.

Eunuch Quan had no choice but to kneel on the ground and repeat Geng Gege's words word for word.

"Master Geng said: Fourth Master, please forgive me. Today, she was so happy to see the cats. She didn't even have breakfast. She made small clothes, toys, and a sleeping room for them. It was because the two cats that Master admired were so cute that she forgot her homework..."

Fourth Master immediately thought of her grinning face. She was probably circling around the cats at this moment.

It was funny to think about it. Isn't it that a bigger cat raised a kitten?

Eunuch Quan put his forehead on the ground and worshiped almost all the gods and Bodhisattvas. Suddenly, he seemed to hear a chuckle from above. He bravely peeked and saw that Master was still in the same look. It was hard to tell whether he was happy or not. He just softened inexplicably.

Su Peisheng knew that he and Xiao Quanzi had made a mistake, but the master seemed to dislike people who made excuses. Besides, who dared not complete the tasks assigned by him early? Even Prince Honghui, who was very young, turned in his homework on time and never dared to slack off.

Gege Geng was really bold, but the sky in this mansion was still up to her.

Su Peisheng's mind was turning quickly. While winking to drive Xiao Quanzi away, he changed a cup of hot tea for the fourth prince.

The fourth prince sat for a long time before picking up the teacup. He thought of the fragrant and sweet milk tea he drank in the Lanyuan yesterday. He let her relax for a day and checked again tomorrow.

Geng Qingning waited in the room for a long time, reading absent-mindedly, always thinking about the front yard. When the corner gate was locked and no one was scolded, she felt relieved and went to sleep in the quilt warmed by the soup mother. However, she was not very peaceful in her dream.

She started to worry again when she woke up the next day. What legitimate reason should she find today? After all, the leader's patience was not so easy to challenge. Geng Qingning felt that her mind was empty and she had no idea what to do.

Grape put out breakfast, put red bean porridge and spring cakes in front of her, and asked carefully, "Do you want me to put out the calligraphy? Princess, write something after dinner to help digestion."

Even Grape was worried about this matter, Geng Qingning was even more worried.

Grape was still looking at her eagerly until breakfast was over. Geng Qingning couldn't sit still any longer. How about going to the study room to pretend?
