Chapter 268 The Glamorous Killer VS The Undefeated God of War Prince 11
“Girl, look at this Mingxi Courtyard, it’s so many times better than the Fangfei Courtyard we lived in before!”
Xiang Ling He followed beside him, not to mention how happy he was, and kept praising him, "The prince is so kind to you. He even gave you a place where even the concubine is qualified to live before he goes to bed."
Yu Yao looked sideways at Xiang Ling and said, "Xiang Ling, don't say too much, lest others overhear it and make things worse."
Although she said this, she was still very happy in her heart.
While the two were talking, a rush of footsteps broke the tranquility in the courtyard.
Eunuch Li Fook walked in with a whisk in his hand and a smile on his face, followed by several maids and boys with low eyebrows.
"Miss Yu, the prince is considerate of the lack of manpower around you, and specially ordered the old slave to send a few people for you to dispatch."
Eunuch Li's voice was full of respect, and he was smiling. Pointing to the maids and servants, "Miss Yu, please take a look. They are all smart children with clean backgrounds."
"I have seen Miss Yu."
The maids and servants saluted Yu Yao with great eyesight.
Yu Yao took a look and found that they were all quite clever and upright in appearance, but the most important thing about the people serving around them was loyalty.
As for whether the back is clean, you will only know if you observe it slowly.
She took two steps forward and bowed slightly towards Li Fu: "They are all very smart and their appearance is very upright. I feel sorry for bothering my father-in-law to make this trip."
Said, Then he took out a delicately embroidered purse from his sleeve and handed it over.
Eunuch Li Fuk took the purse and smiled even brighter: "Miss Yu, you're welcome. This is the old slave's duty. The prince also gave many items, including fine jewelry, fabrics and rouge and gouache. I hope the girl likes it." . ”
Several little eunuchs came up with trays covered with red silk, and they opened them one by one.
In an instant, people are dazzled by the jewels and jewels.
Yu Yao stepped forward and took a closer look. All kinds of brightly colored expensive fabrics, light and breathable, are suitable for this season and can be used to make clothes immediately.
There are also well-made jewelry and fine rouge and gouache.
"Huh? Is this Luo Zidai?"
Seeing Luo Zidai, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Luo Zidai seemed to be a tribute from Persia, and the number was extremely rare.
There are only a few boxes every year, and they are basically distributed to the favored women in the harem.
For example, queens and concubines.
There are none who have a slightly inferior status or are not very favored.
"Eunuch, this..."
Yu Yao pointed at the box of luozidai and looked at Eunuch Li with doubtful eyes.
Eunuch Li thought she didn't recognize it, so he explained with a smile: "This is Luozida, a product of Persia. The prince said that the girl might like it, so he ordered the old slave to bring two boxes from the warehouse."
This is not what Yu Yao wants to ask, but thinking that Xuanyuan City often fights against various countries, and the good things collected on the battlefield may be more than the emperor's treasury.
It is not unusual to have Luo Zidai.
In addition to Luozidai, there are also several boxes of fine fresh tea leaves, as well as a box each of golden melon seeds and silver naked seeds.
Xuanyuan City was probably afraid that she would have nothing to reward her slaves, so he specially prepared these two things for her.
Don’t mention it, these two things came quite in time. She really didn’t have anything on her that could be rewarded.
There are only a few banknotes brought from the Western Regions.
“Please, father-in-law, thank the prince for me.”
Yu Yao bowed slightly and said with a smile.
“Of course.”
The two of them said a few polite words, and Eunuch Li took the people away.
Yu Yao asked Xiang Ling to take the reward into the room, and then looked at the new faces.
They either bow their heads shyly or look around curiously. They are all in their prime, with longing and uneasiness about the future shining in their eyes.
"Now that you have entered Mingxi Courtyard, you are my people. I only have one rule here, and that is to be absolutely loyal. Although my status is not high, I can still punish a few disobedient slaves. ”
Her voice is soft but has a power that cannot be ignored.
Now there is no mistress in Prince Qin's mansion, no concubines or concubines, and the few women in the backyard are not sleeping with him.
They are not even considered concubines. They probably don’t have the ability to hire people yet. I think these people should be pretty clean.
But what needs to be said still needs to be said.
These people lowered their heads and began to show their loyalty.
Yu Yao didn’t say anything and started naming them one by one.
"You, named Xiangtao, have a lively temperament, so you will be responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard."
"You, named Xiangju, are calm and reserved, and you will be responsible for managing my clothes. . ”
“And you, with your moving eyes, are called Xianghe and are responsible for the daily cooking of tea. ”
The two young eunuchs were named Xiao Zhongzi and Xiao Xinzi respectively. One was responsible for bringing food, and the other was responsible for inquiring about news.
Everyone was assigned work, and Mingxi Courtyard gradually became more alive.
Yu Yao rewarded each person with a purse, which contained only a few taels of silver, so he turned around and entered the house.
"Girl, where are these golden melon seeds and silver seeds?" Xiangling came to her with two boxes in her arms and said with a troubled expression.
Yu Yao took one look and said, "Give it to me."
Xiang Ling handed the box over.
She reached out to take it, carried the box to the bedside, and opened the bottom cabinet.
It looks like she put the box inside, but she actually put it secretly in the space.
Close the cabinet door.
Although she is not yet a bed attendant, and Xuanyuan City has not yet given her a position, the treatment given to her is at least above the level of a concubine.
A concubine is not qualified to live in such a nice courtyard, nor do she have so many maids and slaves to serve her.
Dinner meal was brought over by Xiao Zhongzi, mutton stir-fried with green onions, duck stuffed with rice, vinegar-stuffed pork slices, hibiscus and agarwood.
There is also a bowl of Codonopsis pilosula and pigeon soup.
Four dishes and one soup.
The food was much better than when she was in Fangfeiyuan.
She only had meat and vegetables at that time. No, it should be half meat and one vegetarian.
All meat dishes such as chicken, duck, beef, sheep and pigeon have never been served on the table.
At most, it is just some vegetables stir-fried with slices of meat, which is considered a meat dish.
It’s not that Xuanyuan City is harsh, but that this is how concubines are treated.
How well can a concubine be treated if she has no one to sleep with?
It’s good if I can feed you.
Now Xuanyuan City can make her living standard rise sharply with just one word.
No wonder those women in the backyard are desperately trying to compete for favor.
Without pampering, there is no guarantee of life.
She couldn't eat half of it anymore, so Xiang Ling gave the rest to the maids and boys outside.
She only ate half of each dish and left the other side untouched.
In this era, the master's appreciation of vegetables is a kind of reward, and no one will dislike it.
Xiang Ling happily took her leftover food outside and shared it with everyone.
Of course, she kept the best mutton stir-fried with green onions for herself.
They, the slaves below, usually have enough to eat at most, and have no chance to eat anything meaty, let alone eat such good food.
Several maids and slaves in Mingxi Courtyard were very happy to see their master enjoying the vegetables, and felt that they had hope for the future.
Yu Yao walked around the yard to eat while holding her belly.
At this time, night has fallen, and the Mingxi Courtyard is caressed by the soft moonlight, making it even more quiet and beautiful.
Xuanyuan City came under the moonlight, and his figure was elongated in the candlelight, making him look extraordinarily tall.
When she saw Xuanyuan City, she was slightly startled and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, "I have seen the prince."
The voice was soft and a little cheerful.
Xuanyuan Cheng was dressed in a black brocade robe, walking steadily, and his face looked even more handsome under the moonlight.
He stopped in front of Yu Yao, smiled, helped her up, and said warmly: "Is this Mingxi Courtyard still to your liking?"
Yu Yao raised her head and faced the profound depths of Xuanyuan City. eyes, smiled slightly, "It's good, Your Majesty took the trouble."
As soon as he finished speaking, he followed his hand.
The two of them walked into the house hand in hand. The interior was elegantly decorated and candlelight flickered, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.
Xiang Ling served two cups of hot tea at the right time, and then quietly withdrew, leaving the couple enjoying a rare quiet time.
Xuanyuan Cheng sat casually on the couch, took a sip of tea, and then put it down.
Thinking about her illness in the past few days, he looked at her and asked with concern: "You were ill in the past few days? But you are feeling better. Have you asked the government doctor to see you?"
Yu Yao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine."
Xuanyuan City frowned slightly when he heard her calling herself, and said seriously: "Yao'er, in front of this king from now on." , there is no need to call yourself a slave, since you have entered my palace, Prince Qin, She is the king's woman, so she should call herself my concubine."
Yu Yao's cheeks were slightly red, "But my servant... I haven't slept with you yet. Is it against the rules?"
Xuanyuan City Haha. With a smile, he suddenly picked him up and walked towards the inner room.
Looking at the woman in his arms, he said dotingly: "After tonight, everything will be in compliance with the rules."
"Your Majesty."
Yu Yao exclaimed, her hands instinctively wrapped around his neck, her face already flushed.
Although she is already an experienced driver and is very greedy for this man, it does not prevent her from blushing.
It's not that she likes Xuanyuan City much, but that she has wanted it for a long time due to pure emptiness.
She touched the man's abdominal muscles without leaving a trace, and found that the man's figure was really great, and she thought that would satisfy her.
