The reborn prince's little palace maid in the apocalypse

Chapter 7 The Bottom Line of Stealing Food

An Jiu looked at the chicken drumstick in his hand and was very surprised. You must know that this little friend of yours doesn't care much about anything on weekdays, but he is most concerned about food.

As long as it was edible, whether it was dragon liver and phoenix marrow, or sesame seed cakes and steamed buns, there was nothing she wouldn't eat, and they were all her favorites. Under normal circumstances, as long as the food comes into her hands, it is like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and there will be no return.

I remember back then, I was too hungry when I came back from a mission in the middle of the night, so I thought about going to the dining room to get some food.

Who would have thought that as soon as he climbed through the window and entered the dining room, he saw a big pig's head swaying under the stove, with two big ears still flapping. He was so frightened that he couldn't move at that time.

For a secret guard who specializes in killing people, An Jiu is quite courageous. On weekdays, mountains of corpses and seas of blood are common, let alone a pig. Therefore, pigs are not scary, and pig heads are even less scary. But the premise is that the pig head cannot be - cooked.

An Jiu is not afraid of the sky, the earth, the dead, or ghosts, but he is afraid of spirits.

This is a problem I inherited when I was young.

At that time, he was still in the secret guard camp. Because he learned kung fu quickly and performed well, even though he was young, he was selected as the secret guard of the eleventh prince. Just because the eleventh prince was older than him at the time, besides being The eleventh prince's secret guard is also the prince's stand-in at critical moments. Later, the eleventh prince became the prince, and their team changed from the prince's secret guards to the prince's secret guards.

As the youngest of the Eleventh Prince's secret guards, the other secret guards usually doted on him as a younger brother and took good care of him, but they also loved teasing him the most.

Especially An San. On weekdays, An San likes to read the most and often calls himself a scholar. For a while, he fell in love with fairy tales. Not only did I read it for myself, but when I met An Jiushi, who was still a little boy, I would tell him bedtime stories every night. The stories were full of monsters and monsters. During the day, no matter what I saw, I would also think of those gods and monsters. The story still needs to be told to Xiao Anjiu.

Therefore, those foxes with nine tails, cats with eight tails, and wood carvings and clay sculptures of beauties, as long as they have a little bit of human appearance, they all become monsters with boundless power in AN San's mouth.

This planted a deep shadow in the heart of An Jiu, who was still little at that time.

So when he saw a overripe, sauce-red, big pig head dripping with soup, nodding towards him, An Jiu subconsciously thought that because he came to eat it secretly, he would be punished and would be punished. I ate the sauced pig head, ugh...

Even when he later saw Xiao Ba holding a gnawing pig's head under the stove, it didn't calm his weak heart. He started fighting with Xiao Ba at that time, but as soon as they got involved, he was beaten by Xiao Ba. He was beaten and locked in a large tank next to him. Finally, he was let out after all the good things he said. After returning, he still had nightmares all night.

Especially after I got to know Xiaoba later, in retrospect, I realized that the most disgusting thing that day was that little girl. Not only did she scare him, beat him, but she didn't even give him a bite of meat...

Today, Sister Xiaoba can share a chicken drumstick with him, and Xiaojiu suddenly has a bad premonition.

"Sister Xiaoba, are you unhappy today?" An Jiu didn't dare to eat the chicken legs, quietly moved out, and asked cautiously.

"Do you smell anything?" Xiaoba sniffed.

"What does it smell like?" An Jiu took a couple of hard breaths. He didn't smell the smell, but instead took a breath of cool air.

"Don't you know that beef is being shared everywhere today?" Xiao Ba turned to look at An Jiu. He was also a foodie, and he didn't know such an important thing. He was so demotivated and unhappy.

An Jiu is also a black man. He caught a spy yesterday, and later found out that that guy was actually a killer with a reputation in the world. Eunuch Quan led his men and did not come out of the dungeon until noon today. The various departments in the East Palace coordinated their arrangements and were still busy.

I also ran outside for a whole day, and when I came back in the evening, I was sent here to trample the terrain. I really didn’t find a chance to go to the dining room to find something to eat.

Thinking of food, An Jiu suddenly realized the key word he just heard: "Beef? You said you would share the beef today?" Beef, Grandpa Qiang's beef with special sauce! Just thinking about it makes me drool!

"Has the beef been sauced in the kitchen? Is there any soup left?" The beef usually distributed to the East Palace is about ten kilograms. Little secret guards like them will definitely not be able to eat it, but there is still a chance for soybean soup.

Xiaoba didn't even bother to give him a look, and continued to stare at the study, as if he could get some meat in this way.

"No way! They are all gone. Your Highness is not in the palace. These people were separated too quickly."

His Highness was not in the palace. Xiao Ba instantly raised his eyes and looked at An Jiu. His Highness was not here. No one would eat the meat. It would be cold if no one would eat it. The beef would not taste good if it was cold. It was such a waste. Moreover, His Highness would not eat the cold meat when he came back. eat. So now the meat in the study is a bowl of meat that the prince does not want, and the meat that the prince does not want belongs to her. The more Xiaoba thought about it, the more reasonable it became, and the more he thought about it, the brighter his eyes became. It's hers anyway, so there's nothing wrong with her eating it in advance.

Although Xiaoba is usually greedy, he still has principles. Xiaoba can still distinguish clearly what can be eaten and what cannot be eaten. The most important thing is to only eat what won't cause trouble. This is also one of the reasons why Xiaoba and Anjiu can get along well.

When he first arrived at the dining room, Xiaoba wanted to eat everything he saw. He wished he could put everything he could eat into his own space. It's just that her abilities haven't recovered yet, and she can't open up space. She just stares at the food every day, waiting for the opportunity.

At that time, Aunt Fu thought she had gone crazy because of a fever, so she took her with her every day and had to learn all over again about etiquette and how to treat others. Inadvertently also prevented Xiaoba's apocalyptic behavior.

Befriending An Jiu, apart from not being acquainted with each other at the beginning, there was also the fact that An Jiu did him a favor at that time. I also taught myself a lesson.

At that time, because of Aunt Fu, I couldn't touch the food in the dining room. I went out to look for food and accidentally found the small kitchen in the imperial concubine's palace and saw a bowl of steamed cake inside. It is a steamed pastry that is poured into a bowl-shaped mold with various flavors of milk paste. Because you have to use a small spoon to eat it, it looks very elegant and is very popular with the nobles in the palace and the ladies in the capital. like.

Xiaoba ate and took away all the bowls of steamed cakes in one go. When she went back and was enjoying her meal, she met An Jiu who came to see her. An Jiu saw the exquisite bowl of steamed cake, and after hearing her directions on where to get it, he knew it was from the imperial concubine's palace. He yelled something bad and ran away.

Xiaoba followed, and when he arrived at the imperial concubine's palace, he saw a group of people surrounding two young eunuchs who were making wooden boards. A bowl of steamed cake was lost in the imperial concubine's kitchen. The person who ate it could not be found, and no one saw who took what. Therefore, no one in the small kitchen could escape from top to bottom. Everyone was guilty. At this time, the only choice was Only by pushing out the culprit can everyone else be protected. And the two little eunuchs were the last ones to be pushed out. The imperial concubine said that if they dared to eat secretly, they would be beaten to death.

What Xiaoba didn't understand at that time was the order of hierarchy and the supremacy of imperial power. She didn't know that because of her gluttony, two innocent people were about to be beaten to death. At that time, she was indifferent to life, and her actions were based on the laws of survival in the apocalypse when Taoism and law collapsed.

An Jiu used some tricks in the dark to make the two young eunuchs fake their deaths, and then replaced them in the corpse refining room.

Later, An Jiu told Xiao Ba that it was okay to eat secretly, but it was his ability not to be caught, and the bottom line was not to cause trouble to others.

An Jiu discovered that although Xiaoba didn't care about the life or death of others, he was not a person who killed innocent people indiscriminately. She behaves like a king walking in the forest. Being strong is only for survival. Only hungry tigers can hurt people. A well-fed tiger or a rabbit will not even look at it if it jumps in front of you. She has no respect for life, only indifference, including her own.

An Jiu took Xiaoba up the high wall of the Imperial City and showed her the Sedum City outside the Imperial City. At that time, An Jiu just pointed out and told Xiaoba who lived in the east, west, south, and north of the imperial city. The rich in the east and the poor in the west, the rich in the south and the poor in the north. There is an order of superiority and inferiority, and the five elements and eight works each perform their duties. Everyone is born differently, has a different destiny, and has a different status. While enjoying the rights of his or her own status, he also has his own responsibilities.

And this word of responsibility is particularly important in the palace. In this palace, every stitch and thread, and even the fallen leaves on the ground, have people who are responsible for them. Everything must come from somewhere and go from there. Whenever something is lost or destroyed, or something goes wrong, the person who responds will be punished if he is lightly punished, or will be killed if he is severely punished.

An Jiu secretly told Xiao Ba that actually I don't like the imperial concubine either, because the imperial concubine has a son and is at odds with the prince, so I won't say anything about it openly, but secretly everyone knows that the imperial concubine, the third prince, the eighth prince and the prince born to the imperial concubine are... Donggong is the enemy. If he could cause trouble for the imperial concubine, he would be willing to do so, but this trouble could not bring trouble to the East Palace, nor could he kill innocent people indiscriminately. He often went to the small kitchen of the imperial concubine's courtyard to steal food. But you can't let others die just because you want to satisfy your own appetites.

We have the ability to get what we want easily, we can stain our hands with blood and kill for our own goals, and we can kill everyone in the world for our master, but this does not mean that we can do whatever we want. (An Jiu’s point of view is based on the hierarchical background of the feudal dynasty. Loyalty to the master and the concept of right and wrong are not in line with the outlook on life and values ​​​​of the current society. The author’s reminder: Article 232 of the "Criminal Law" [Intentional Homicide Crime] Murder is against the law!!!)

On the wall of the imperial city, Xiaoba looked outside the city. What she saw was far more clear and clear than what An Jiuzhi showed her.

She saw the flow of people passing by; she saw shops selling goods; she saw people in the crowd supporting the old and the young, some saluting each other, and some bringing their wives and children. Most importantly, she saw something she had never seen in the apocalypse. , the smiling faces of passers-by on the road. There is no sadness, no lamentation, no cynical resentment.

In Xiaoba's eyes, the entire capital city was enveloped by the rising breath of life.

When night falls and the lights of thousands of houses are lit, the awakened plant power in Xiaoba's body mutates, and the mutated power is-vitality.
