A concubine's daughter is reborn and I want to enter the palace!

Qin An looked around and saw no one around, so he quickly pulled Haitang to a corner.

"Why did you come to see me again, Xiao Haitang?" Qin An said with a smile, his hands folded across his chest.

Haitang took out two persimmon cakes from her clothes, handed them to Qin An, and said to him, "Brother Qin, I took these from our palace. Do you want to try them?"

Qin An subconsciously said, "Wait a minute! You didn't steal this!"

Haitang said depressedly, "Of course not! How could I have stolen it! This was a reward from our young master. He only gave me two pieces, and I couldn't bear to eat them myself..."

As she spoke, Haitang lowered her head.

After hearing this, Qin An looked at Haitang's depressed look, his heart full of guilt. He hurriedly pulled Haitang's hand and put the two pieces back into her hand.

Haitang asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

"Your young master only gave you two pieces as a reward. How can I steal your love away from you? You should keep them for yourself!" Qin An touched Haitang's head lovingly.

"No, I want to give it to you myself." Haitang said with her stubborn little face raised.

Qin An was very moved by Haitang's persistence and said, "Little Haitang, you are so kind. Your master only gave you two pieces, and you still think of me! But I have to say that your master is a bit stingy~"

Hearing Qin An's criticism of Song Qingwan, Haitang immediately became unhappy, "Don't say that about my mistress! There were six persimmons in that small dish, and the mistress first gave me two, and then gave two each to Yingcan and Xiaozhongzi!"

"Okay, okay~ It's my fault, you can keep it for yourself." Seeing Haitang being so loyal to her master, Qin An had the courage to admit his mistake.

Haitang took Qin An's hand again, and this time only put a piece of persimmon cake in it, "How about this, we each have one piece?"

Qin An nodded happily, "Okay!"

The two of them secretly ate some persimmon cakes together and chatted.

Haitang said worriedly, "Brother Qin, will you be punished if you are not on duty there? Hurry over there after you finish eating!"

Qin An smiled cheerfully, "It's okay, my good brothers are there to help! They heard the noise and knew you were looking for me, so I came right over!"

Haitang's face flushed red. "Ah... everyone knows what you did! You're so annoying!" But in her heart, she felt a sense of pleasure of achieving her goal.

Qin An tilted his head and said, "Huh? You were still worried about me just now! Why are you saying I'm annoying now?"

Haitang ignored him and ate the persimmon cake in her hand silently.

Qin An looked at Haitang, who was like a little hamster. She didn't respond when he talked to her, but just kept her head down eating persimmon cakes. The more Qin An looked at her, the more he liked her.

Qin An leaned down and said, "Okay, Haitang, don't be angry with me. I told them this just to make it easier for you to see me. Otherwise, no one would take my place and I wouldn't be able to come out."

"Please forgive me, please?" Qin An continued

"Okay then, I'll forgive you this time!" Haitang said, raising her head.

Seeing Haitang finally look up at him and say that she forgave him, Qin An was so happy that he couldn't help but pull Haitang's hand and said, "Little Haitang, you are so nice!"

"Your hand..." Haitang said embarrassedly

Qin An then realized that he was being rude and quickly let go of Haitang's hand. But as soon as he let go, he felt a strong sense of loneliness in his heart.

"Sorry, sorry!" Qin An apologized repeatedly.

Haitang also made awkward movements, tucked her hair behind her ears, and whispered, "It's okay..."

Qin An leaned against the wall and said, "Haitang, you know what? I wanted to talk to you before, but you didn't want to talk to me. But recently you have been so nice to me. It always makes me feel... unreal... like I'm dreaming."

Haitang hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, when the young lady and I first entered the palace, I once recognized the wrong person and got into trouble. I almost killed the young lady, so I dare not recognize him rashly again..."

"Is it a boy too?" Qin An suddenly looked at Haitang nervously and asked

Haitang shook her head and said, "No, it was a girl whom I met in the imperial kitchen. She approached me deliberately and I was too stupid to fall for her trick. At that time, my young master and I had just entered the palace and we thought people's hearts were too pure!"

After hearing that it was a girl, Qin An secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "Experience is accumulated slowly. Haitang, you are not stupid, you are just very simple and kind!"

When Haitang heard Qin An use such beautiful words to describe herself, she couldn't help but smile bitterly and murmured, "No, I'm very bad."

Qin An bounced Haitang's little head and said, "If you were bad, you wouldn't be taken advantage of by others!"

Haitang took a deep breath and said, "Okay, it's getting late. I have to go back. If I take too long, my mistress won't be able to find me and will get worried."

Qin An replied, "Okay, then I won't see you off. I have to go on duty soon. Next time I'll secretly bring you something delicious~"

Haitang quickly shook her head, "No, no, Yufangzhai is far away, I'll come find you! You are not allowed to come find me!"

Qin An wanted to say something. He couldn't let a girl take the initiative to look for him every time. However, seeing Haitang's determined look, Qin An had no choice but to agree.

Qin An: "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you. You go first! I'll leave after I see you go."

Haitang nodded and left quietly. When she left, she couldn't help but look back and saw Qin An opening his mouth wide, saying "Persimmon! Cake! Very! Sweet!" with his lips without making any sound.

When Haitang saw Qin An like this, she couldn't help but smile. Qin An on the opposite side saw Haitang smile, so he also smiled and waved goodbye to Haitang.

This time Haitang resisted the urge to look back, but quickened her pace and left.

Qin An watched Haitang leave, smiled again, and returned to his position to stand guard.

Haitang wiped her mouth and eyebrows as she walked, fearing that the young lady would notice something when she returned...

In Yufangzhai

Yingcan was taking care of Song Qingwan's daily life. Song Qingwan asked in confusion, "Why are you the only one here these days? Where's Haitang? Where did that little girl go?"

Yingcan said, "My dear, your greedy girl, don't you know? She has gone to the imperial kitchen to look for delicious food again!"

Song Qingwan couldn't help but smile. "This Haitang is really greedy~ Forget it, let her be. It's just hard for you. You have to be busy with other things and take care of me."

Yingcan quickly said, "It's not hard, it's not hard! My lady, it's too polite for you to say that. This is Yingcan's job!"

In order to avoid revealing her flaws, Haitang went to the imperial kitchen and brought back many delicious foods for Song Qingwan.

Song Qingwan joked, "You little greedy cat, you always rush to go at this time! You always let Yingcan do your work for you."

Haitang forced a smile. She had no choice. After all, it was Qin An's turn at this time. She hoped that everything she did could help the young lady...
