That night, the captain sent lake crabs to the two distinguished guests on the boat.

"I bought this at the dock today, but it's still fresh. Although it's past the season for eating crabs, the crab paste is thick and has a different taste." The captain had a flattering smile on his face.

The crabs delivered to Zhou Qiong were large and round, and they looked like top quality at first glance.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiong didn't buy it, and suddenly asked: "I only have eight here? I wonder how many have you given to Eunuch Liu?"

With a arrogant look on his face, he said that if you don't give me enough, I will smash this plate of crabs into your face.

"Haha, you have few people, so I am less prepared..."

The captain didn't dare to lie. If Zhou Shizi called a servant in the kitchen to ask, he would be able to find out immediately, so he had to tell the truth.

Zhou Qiong's face darkened as expected, "If there are four of us, master and servant, just eight? Are you so brave, asking me to share it with my servants?"

"Your Majesty, it's my fault. I'll cook the remaining crabs for you right away!"

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qiong didn't listen to him at all, and said angrily: "My aunt is also a concubine after all, and I am his nephew. You don't want to please me but go to please a eunuch. You are really as stupid as a pig!"

Even as he said this, he still didn't feel relieved, so he threw the crab plate away, and it all hit the captain.

"Go away, steam all the crabs and serve them to me, or I will complain to my uncle when I get back."

Zhou Qiong played the role of a playboy perfectly.

Soon, Liu Baoquan received the news.

"What's going on again?" Liu Baoquan asked.

Zhou Qiong is really fed up. Today she dislikes the fact that the bedding is not warm. Tomorrow she dislikes the fresh smell of the river on the clothes washed by the washing lady on the boat. Now it's night, what's going on?

The little eunuch smiled and said: "The captain found high-quality crabs at the wharf where he sells goods. Don't you want to please you two? However, Prince Zhou dislikes that there are not as many crabs on his side as you do, and he is losing his temper. ."

"Oh?"

Liu Baoquan became interested and said, "This captain is used to being a good person."

There were twelve on the plate in front of him, and he probably thought he would have enough to reward his servants after he finished eating.

The little eunuchs all agreed.

"Who says it's not the case? The people on this boat always want to please their godfather. Because of you, the children's daily meals are better than those of Prince Zhou's servants."

"That's right, that's right. It's just a run-down prince's mansion where all the elders are dead. It's not certain whether he can succeed in the title. He's still here to set the pedigree of the heir apparent. If His Majesty hadn't favored him so much because of his old love, who in Ruidu would have done it. Buy his account?"

"If you ask me, our father-in-law was too polite to him. Our father-in-law is kind-hearted. If it were anyone else, who would be willing to take this dude on board."

"Master is not good, and this person is even less good. I think his staff is very out of tune. He wants to defraud others of their money all day long!"

"If I were the Crown Prince of Zhou, I would stay calm and don't make such fools of myself. They are just a few crabs, but they deserve to be angry? They are really uneducated."

As they talked, the emotions of the little eunuchs were aroused.

"I just heard from the cook that the captain asked them to steam all the crabs. I think the captain wanted to appease him. Otherwise, let's..."

The little eunuch made a throwing motion.

Someone immediately disagreed and said, "Why throw it away? We'll secretly bring it back when it's cooked. Who dares to come to Godfather's place to search?"

"Yes, why don't we share the food?"

Not to mention the size of such fresh river food, the fat inside is very fragrant. Even in the palace, you rarely have the opportunity to eat it, so why waste it?

Besides, with Eunuch Liu here, he would naturally cover up for them.

The words of the little eunuchs made Liu Baoquan feel anxious, and he immediately nodded to the most skilled one among them, "Then you go, be careful, we can't let anyone take advantage of us."

"Yes! Just wait for me to return with a full load!" The little eunuch walked out of the cabin.

Liu Baoquan picked up a crab casually and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, it is really a big crab. Look at this arrogant young man, he is just like some people. He thinks he is arrogant and domineering and no one dares to bully him. In fact, he has been someone else for a long time. A plate of Chinese food.”

"I'll try this today, and you guys will eat it too. If it's not enough, just wait for the next pot!"

"Yes, thank you father-in-law."

The little eunuchs immediately swarmed over and started sharing the food.

Crabs are troublesome to eat, but the young eunuchs are used to serving people and are extremely skilled at peeling crab meat. They served Liu Baoquan first and then ate the rest by themselves.

Less than half a quarter of an hour later, the little eunuch who had gone out came in with a tub full of cooked crabs, and he burst into laughter and cheers.

As they were eating, they heard the captain and the cook hurriedly shouting "Where are the crabs?" outside. Then they heard Zhou Qiong's guards yelling and scolding, asking the captain if he was disrespectful to the prince. The crabs, even the ones that were hot and hot before, are gone.

It was noisy outside, but the eunuchs looked at each other and smiled.

My heart is filled with secret and dark happiness.

What kind of prince, if he has no power, he is worse than these eunuchs!

In the middle of the night, waves of fishy smell came from Liu Baoquan's cabin.

The little eunuch who kept vigil for him climbed out of the cabin door with his legs and feet sore from straining. He alerted the crew and captain, and quickly invited the accompanying imperial physician over.

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Baoquan asked.

He has a lot of skills and his physical condition is better than these little eunuchs, but because he has been out of court a few times, his body is also very weak.

"Did someone poison me?" he asked.

The imperial doctor paused while checking his pulse, then shook his head and said, "Probably not."

Then he said: "What did you and the other father-in-laws eat yesterday? They have the same symptoms as you."

Liu Baoquan frowned immediately.

Could it be those crabs?

But he had eaten crabs in the palace in the past, but he never felt so upset. There must be something wrong.

While the imperial doctor was observing his expression, he suddenly discovered that red spots appeared on his face. After a while, many small pimples appeared on his face.

Then the itching appeared.

Liu Baoquan stretched out his hand to grab it, but the imperial doctor grabbed his wrist, "Father-in-law, please don't scratch it, or you'll leave scars."

Liu Baoquan gritted his teeth to endure the raging itching, and asked, "What's going on?"

The imperial doctor pondered for a moment, then checked the pimpled face of the little eunuch next to him, and finally said: "It may be Chiyoufeng's disease."

"You might as well think about it, what did you eat last meal?"

The little eunuch on the side hugged his belly and shouted: "Crabs don't count, we ate a lot of crabs yesterday."

The imperial doctor nodded, "That's right. Crabs are cold, especially crabs that have outlived their season. They are very cold in nature. Eating too much can lead to diarrhea. As for the rash on the face... the previous palace Concubine Lili also suffered from Chi Youfeng because she ate too much river food."

Thinking of yesterday, in order to humiliate Zhou Qiong, he specially ordered someone to steal the crabs he brought back.

Liu Baoquan almost spat out his blood.
