The Favorite of the Court of Joy

After breakfast, Zhang Xiaoqian remembered, where are the pastries he bought yesterday?

"Xiaocheng, have you seen the five boxes of pastries I bought? It's the box with the palace pastry shop printed on the outside."

Xiaocheng thought for a while and nodded, "Yes, the prince asked the slaves to put them away, and said that if the young master wants it, he can go to the prince to ask for it."

Zhang Xiaoqian was so angry that he slapped the table, but hurt himself, "I want it from him? Humph! I obviously bought those pastries for five taels of silver, why do I have to ask him for them when I want them? Damn, this shit The prince is too unreasonable."

The maids were startled, no one was obedient to the prince, they had never heard anyone insulting the prince, this master was really too bold and special.

Then, Zhang Xiaoqian thought of his money again, he definitely didn't have it on him, and when he woke up, his body was even more slick, "Xiao Cheng, where are my clothes from yesterday? Did you see my money?"

Xiaocheng replied: "The lord let the servant take the clothes to wash, but the servant did not find any silver in the clothes."

"His grandma's, it must have been taken by this bullshit prince again. Huhu, I'm so mad." Zhang Xiaoqian was so angry that his whole body became hot, "When will he come back?" We must settle the score with him.

"Not necessarily. Sometimes the prince will go down early, sometimes the prince will come back after dinner, and sometimes the prince will disappear for several days in a row. Before leaving, the prince ordered the slaves to take good care of Young Master Qian."

"Okay, if he comes back, please remember to notify me as soon as possible."

"Yes, Young Master Qian."

Zhang Xiaoqian thought about it, now that he has turned himself over to become the master, there are not so many rules, and there is nothing that can't go here or there, but he has to take advantage of this time to get familiar with every corner of the palace, the most important thing is Where are the back and side doors?When do the guards change shift?Which way is the least traveled?

Zhang Xiaoqian came out of the room, walked around here and looked there.There are many small courtyards in the palace, according to Xiaocheng, those small courtyards are where the prince's concubine and his male favorite live.Hearing this, Zhang Xiaoqian ridiculed in his heart: a big pig's hoof that both men and women eat.But in Xiaocheng's view, this is a very normal thing. Aren't the masters of any rich family full of concubines and male pets?

Zhang Xiaoqian stopped and looked around, feeling a little tired, "Xiaocheng, have we walked through this palace once?"

Xiaocheng shook her head and said: "Although we haven't finished the walk, we have generally gone through the most important places. Except for the gate and the front hall, there are some courtyards in the back that are relatively remote, and half of the unfavored concubines will be arranged. get there."

"Like a cold palace?" Zhang Xiaoqian added.

Xiaocheng nodded.Zhang Xiaoqian despises him, he really is a big pig's hoof, if he has a new love, he will abandon the old one.

Zhang Xiaoqian sighed: "This palace is really big."

Xiaocheng smiled and said: "Yes. This palace was built by Lord Deming (Zhao Minghan's father) when the prince was still a prince. The mansion was expanded. So our mansion is the largest mansion in the capital besides the imperial palace."

Zhang Xiaoqian continued to complain in his heart, no wonder he could accommodate so many concubines and male pets.

"How many children does the prince have?" Zhang Xiaoqian asked purely out of curiosity, thinking that there are so many women with so many hoofs, there should be many children.

Xiaocheng shook her head again, "There is no little prince or princess in the palace yet. But the prince doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all." Xiaocheng couldn't understand why the prince didn't want children. The prince always deliberately prevented concubines from getting pregnant.

"Oh, that's it." Hehe, it's impossible for him to show it if he's not in a hurry, but let people laugh at his incompetence.

After walking for so long, Zhang Xiaoqian was really tired. Seeing the West Lake Garden not far away, he said, "Let's go to the pavilion to rest for a while, and Xiaocheng will call for some refreshments."

Xiaocheng asked the second-class maid behind her to prepare refreshments, and then followed Zhang Xiaoqian to the garden.

"Hey, Xiaocheng, look, are the ones picking flowers Xiaolu and Xiaoqing?"

Xiaocheng took a closer look at the distance, and said firmly: "It's really them."

"Hehe, I haven't seen them for a few days, I miss them so much, let's go and say hello."
