After rebirth, I made the princes cry

Vinh Phuc is often the deserted province on New Year’s Eve.

The princes are going to the palace banquet, and most of the officials have already had a holiday on this day, and they have gone home to spend the New Year with their parents. There are only a few servants left in the seven prince mansions, starting from New Year's Eve until the Yuan Dynasty. On New Year's Eve, the master's family will enjoy meat, wine and silk, so that they can enjoy more abundant food than before. Maybe those servants with higher rankings will gather together to drink and have fun on New Year's Eve, but after all, they cannot make too much noise. Yes, even Bisu Mansion - there are actually several concubines in the Second Prince's Mansion. Of course, they are not qualified to accompany the Second Prince to the palace banquet, but because they are quite favored and have the honor of the master's family, on New Year's Eve Musicians and dancers could be allowed to perform for the entertainment. However, not long ago, the second prince pleaded for Pan Chi, but failed to stop the third prince's torture stick. Not only was the second prince reprimanded by his majesty, but I heard that even Mrs. He was punished. Who knows whether the third prince will provoke His Majesty's anger at the palace banquet tonight and cause trouble for the second prince. So the concubines did not dare to take risks and spent the New Year's Eve in silence.

As soon as they passed Haizheng, Yu Yu ran to the concierge to wait. He was an internal minister of Xinsu Mansion. Just like the relationship between Lu An and Sikong Beichen, he was also the attendant of the fourth prince. Logically speaking, he should accompany him today. Yes, but the master Sikong Yuehu likes to be alone and is never the kind of nobleman who can't live without people around him. Yu Yu doesn't have to follow the palace to serve him. He is here to welcome his master back home.

"Minister, don't worry. The slaves don't dare to be careless. They have been guarding the gatehouse all the time. Moreover, in all these years, whether it is a palace banquet or a private banquet, I have never seen His Highness drunk. In this cold weather, I really don't need to Come and wait here.”

Yu Yu chuckled and said, "As soon as I came in, I smelled the smell of wine. Do you want me to see where you hid the wine?"

The two slaves laughed.

"Today is New Year's Eve after all, so there's no harm in having a few sips of wine. I'm also here to prevent you from getting too drunk on a whim. If His Highness drinks too much, you won't notice at all and have never thought of getting married."

"Your Highness, you drink a lot. When did you drink too much?"

It is true that there were times when he drank too much, and it was just recently, but Yu Yu did not publicize his master's affairs. He rubbed his hands over a pot of charcoal fire and said, "This year is different from previous years! Your Highness recaptured Yizhou and led the Chinese army." Feeling proud and proud, His Majesty is overjoyed. Can His Majesty refuse to let His Majesty drink a few more glasses of wine with him on New Year's Eve? His Majesty also likes to drink strong alcohol. If you don't notice it in the palace, if you come out and the cold wind blows, you may get sick. , I came here to greet you out of caution. After all, I have taken care of His Highness for these years, and I can detect the slightest abnormality even if Your Highness doesn't say anything."

Yu Yu is not only careful, but also has a sharp nose, good eyesight, and a pair of very sensitive ears. When he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and stopped in front of the gate, he hurried out of the concierge. Sure enough, he saw that the master had just dismounted and stood still, and his own guards would lead the mount. Going to the stables, Yu Yu hurriedly took a look at the master's expression. This time he really didn't drink too much, so he just held the lamp in front of him. There was no mistress in Xinsu Mansion. The master usually did not live in the main house, but usually stayed in the book garden. At that time, there were only two servants waiting in the book garden. Yu Yu listened to the master's instructions and lit the fire pit. He knew that the master not only did not drink too much, but did not even feel sleepy, so he followed him into the Nuan Pavilion and took care of changing clothes.

When he was living in Yan, Sikong Yuehu liked to wear long robes with round collars and small sleeves and leather straps to facilitate movement. He generally did not like to let his servants make tea. He would occasionally let Yu Yu do it, but most of the time he would do it himself.

"You can rest now." After changing out of the long-sleeved robe and long skirt, Sikong Yuehu felt that he no longer needed to serve. As he left the Nuan Pavilion and went to the tea room he preferred, he announced to the waiter. The day's work is now complete.

Yu Yu knew that his master never seemed to be troubled by loneliness, and there was no need for a servant like him to accompany him for chatting. But today was New Year's Eve after all, and he had waited until this hour indifferently. He felt lonely and lonely, but he expected that his master could accompany him. Have a few drinks, not alcohol, tea will do.

"It's already this hour, and His Highness is still going to the tea room. He probably doesn't feel sleepy. He might want to have a midnight snack for a while. There are slaves waiting by his side, and he can also run some errands for His Highness..."

Before Yu Yu finished speaking, he saw a group of people in front of him were coming here, and the leader was Bao Qin. He reluctantly shut up. Loneliness was human nature, and he couldn't complain about Bao Qin's ulterior motives.

"Look, it seems like you don't need to run errands anymore."

Yu Yu sighed.

"But I need your help to eat."

Sikong Yuehu temporarily turned around. His tea room must be kept clean, but looking at the array of things Baoqin created, not to mention the fishy food, it was just the hair oil on the hair of the maids, the powder on their faces, and The fragrant fragrance on his clothes was a catastrophe to the teahouse, but he was always too lazy to correct unimportant personnel matters, so he just went to the pavilion to socialize.

Baoqin probably also knew that Sikong Yuehu had some quirks, so she didn't let the maids carrying food boxes crowd into the pavilion to return them, and stared at Yu Yu for a while. At this time, all of Yu Yu's senses were degraded and dull. He knelt down firmly on one side without saying anything, and took the lead to grab the spoon, filled a bowl of Hangzhou Pujiang, and handed it to the host: "Hangchuang Pulp is better than tea soup to relieve hangover. After all, there will be a big court meeting tomorrow. , Your Highness, please don’t take a rest too late.”

Sikong Yuehu nodded, and Yu Yu took out another bowl of Hangzuo syrup and drank half of it first.

Baoqin drooped her eyebrows, and of course she understood that Yu Yu was testing poison by doing this.

Intellectually she knew that His Highness had a noble status after all, and it was a rule that people around him should test the poison first in daily meals, but emotionally she still felt that although these meals were not handled by her, they were all prepared under her supervision. If she wanted to try She should try the poison.

She is very aggrieved now.

In fact, the Liang family was not an insurmountable obstacle for her in her previous life. A little trick could make His Highness feel disgusted with the Liang family. However, the eunuch Yu Yu has become a mountain that she can never overcome. His Highness's patrol camp is Yu Yu. Accompanying her, Yu Yu is still responsible for changing clothes at home. Bao Qin really can't understand. Your Highness obviously doesn't have such evil habits, why does he have to let an eunuch take care of his daily life? !

Yu Yu actually felt that he was like a bright light, illuminating the ambiguous atmosphere that Bao Qin had painstakingly created.

But he didn't feel like an eyesore.

His Highness is a prince. He grew up in the inner court before he was ten years old. In addition to his mother Fu, there are also eunuchs who take care of his daily life. He is the most outstanding one among them. As a servant of the prince, he not only has to learn how to behave, he also has to know the basics of how to interact with ingredients. According to the principle of grams, anything that can be used as food must be non-toxic, but when several non-toxic ingredients are combined together, it is very likely to be harmful to the human body. He has memorized recipes since he was a child, and he not only has to determine whether a dish contains grams. Ingredients must also be identified through smell and taste to determine whether there are foreign substances mixed in the food that should not be mixed. He has received professional training, but what do maids like Baoqin know?

Maybe you firmly believe that all poisons pass the silver test, but you don't know that, except for arsenic, thousands of poisons do not use silver needles to test for poison.

What's more, His Highness obviously doesn't want to be alone with Baoqin!

"Thanks to His Highness's kindness, I and my brother are reunited. After being separated for so many years, I can finally spend New Year's Eve with my brother tonight." Baoqin took a clean plate, selected fried rolls from the dazzling array of dishes, and knelt down. , stretched out his arms: "This dish was made by my own hands. It is a dish from my hometown. After my brother tasted it today, he lamented that he had not tasted it for a long time. In fact, I have never tasted the pan-fried rolls that my mother-in-law made by myself. I only tasted it recently. Learned deliberately.”
