Those Years Being Exploited by the Emperor [Crossing Books]

The silk tree outside the window has lost all its leaves, revealing the blue sky behind.From time to time, wild geese flew south, leaving a flying trace.

The smell of food filled the cold hall, and the food was still steaming not long after it was taken out of the food box.The light rice porridge and crispy side dishes looked much finer than the meals he had eaten before.

"Your Highness, Young Master Shen has left, you...don't eat." The old eunuch stood aside, unconsciously wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve.In fact, he thought that Shen Yanchu would not let His Highness the Seventh Prince go so easily, but Mr. Shen put down the food box and left.If His Highness the Fifth Highness was in trouble, he would definitely not let it go so easily, presumably...

Xiao Yu looked up at the old eunuch, remained silent for a while, and put down his chopsticks.He only ate two or three mouthfuls of what Shen Yanchu sent over, but he didn't feel particularly uncomfortable.

"You followed me... I really wronged you." Xiao Yu finally stopped keeping silent and said in a very soft voice.He threw the chopsticks back into the food box, and slowly sat down on the chair next to him.

His eyes were dark, like a very deep pool of water, he couldn't see to the bottom, he didn't look like a boy of sixteen or seventeen at all, it was so deep that it was shocking.

"How can you be wronged?" The old eunuch smiled, with a gleam in his cloudy eyes, and the white hair on his head made his smile look a bit harsh, "The servant is willing to follow His Highness."

Xiao Yu lowered his head again, looking not very interested.He saw that there was another layer under the food box, so he opened the first layer with rare curiosity.There is a package of exquisitely packaged pastries inside, and the price is expensive judging from the paper on the outside.

"Your Highness..." The old eunuch looked up at the Seventh Prince in surprise, this big bag of snacks confirmed his thoughts even more.This Young Master Shen is really showing his favor to His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince?

No one in the palace would show favor to Xiao Yu.This is the imperial palace, interests are paramount, and everyone wants to climb up.A concubine wants to be a queen, a queen mother.The prince wants to be a prince, he wants to be an emperor.And Xiao Yu was just an unfavored prince who was forgotten by the emperor, anyone could step on him.

However, the old eunuch didn't say these words. He hoped that someone would treat Xiao Yu well, but he was afraid that others would hurt Xiao Yu if they had plans.

Xiao Yu didn't know what the old eunuch was thinking at this time, he only knew that he had never eaten such an exquisite pastry.His mother and concubine have ignored him since he was a child, and it is his luck to be able to live until now.When he was five years old, he was suggested by the queen that he should go to school, otherwise his emperor's father would have no impression of him at all.

It was at that time that he felt that his imperial brothers were different from him.The other emperor brothers have mothers and concubines to take care of them, and they will send exquisite pastries and tea in their spare time, and there are many servants to serve them.There were many times when he also wanted to taste the exquisite pastry with fragrance, but no one brought it to him.

Xiao Yu didn't answer the old eunuch's words, but stretched out his hand and slowly opened the paper bag containing the pastries.The paper package is very fragile, and it will be torn open when it is torn lightly, revealing the white and yellow Sophora japonica cake.The rich scent of Sophora japonica and the scent of pastries rushed into Xiao Yu's nose.

He couldn't help but picked up a piece of Sophora japonica cake and put it in his mouth.

Take a bite, and the sweet Sophora japonica sauce flows out of the dough slowly, with a sweet scent of Sophora japonica, the outer crust is crispy and soft, and the taste is excellent.

"Take it first." Xiao Yu said in a low voice, he glanced at the Sophora Fragrant Cake and remained motionless, looking very reluctant, but his stomach was full.

"Yes, I will put it away for you, and I will take it out when Your Highness wants to eat." The old eunuch understood that this meant that His Highness liked the dim sum, and was afraid that someone would spoil it again.

When the old eunuch carefully left with his snacks, the thin young man looked at the bare shadow of the silk tree on the window and let out a long sigh.

What kind of person is Shen Yanchu...?

He was born in the palace since he was a child, so he is already sensitive enough to these malice and scheming in the palace.It was because he was sensitive enough that he couldn't guess what Shen Yanchu meant.Today's show was actually a bit clumsy, obviously it was embarrassing, but in fact it was to bring him food.

Otherwise, even if it is a reward, you don't need to use such means if you want to humiliate.Especially the Sophora japonica cake, it is even more unnecessary.If it's humiliating, it's enough to send food, why send a bag of delicate snacks?

I even heard that his face turned pale when he ate breakfast, showing everything on his face. This is not a person who is struggling in the deep palace.

Well, what does this have to do with him.Xiao Yu lowered his head and let out a long sigh, picked up the book on the table and read it carefully.

At this time, Shen Chu still didn't know what Xiao Yu thought of him. The problem he was most worried about now was that he couldn't swim.

The task given to him by the system was to rescue Xiao Yu from the lotus pond, which meant that someone must have pushed the hero down the lotus pond recently.Thinking of this, Shen Chu couldn't help but feel sorry for Xiao Yu for a second, because he would be tortured by blood in the early stage of being a cool hero.

But he cared more about himself.

Wearing a book and wearing a villain, doing tasks to hug your thighs is counterproductive, and jumping into the lotus pond to save the hero in winter.

That night, Shen Chu tried swimming in the bathtub in his room.He had studied for more than a month in the real world, but he didn't learn it.Now in the book world... well, he still didn't light up his swimming skills.

After drinking a few catties of bath water, Shen Chu confirmed this conclusion again.

The only good news recently is that he has completed Mission [-]. With the system's reminder, he can deliver meals to Xiao Yu at any time to increase his favorability.Shen Chu will never run away from things that can increase his favorability, so besides attending classes in the study, Shen Chu often secretly delivers meals to the male protagonist, and every time he stuffs a pack of small pastries at the end.Sometimes it's acacia flower cakes, sometimes it's rose cakes. In short, most of the snacks he brings are sent to the hero.

It's just that he didn't dare to break his skin too seriously, so he only dared to secretly send it to the old eunuch.After going back and forth, he and the old eunuch also became friends.

After a few days like this, Shen Chu has never learned how to swim, but he did a good job following Xiao Shuo as a follower.The princes all finished school before dinner, and after serving Xiao Shuo to study this day, it was routine to accompany Xiao Shuo to play archery in the imperial garden for a while.Fortunately, Xiao Shuo was not considered cruel and did not make people hold apples or anything. Concubine Shu Gui didn't know anything else, but she did a good job of disciplining Xiao Shuo.

It was getting late, the sun had already set in the west, and the cold sky was like a smear of blood, and the imperial garden seemed to be covered with a layer of warm veil.

Shen Chu had never been exposed to riding and shooting, whether it was the real world or the world in the book, it was the first time.But he is still quite talented, and after a while he can hit grass targets.Compared to those dandies who started practicing since childhood, it was the first time after all, Shen Chu was quite satisfied.

Xiao Shuo also did a good job in this regard.After observing these few days, Shen Chu could see something.The fifth prince Xiao Shuo is good at riding and shooting, but he is not enlightened in reading, and he is a little clumsy in dealing with people and things, not smart enough. If it weren't for Concubine Shu's advice, he might not be able to survive.

And the third prince, Xiao Can, is good at reading and writing, but he is a little gloomy, with deep calculations in his heart, he has to care about everything, and he is not generous enough.

Thinking of the messy things, Shen Chu's arrows shot more and more sideways, and the last arrow fell to the ground without hitting the target at all, causing many people to laugh.

However, Shen Chu didn't pay attention to other people.

[Ding dong!The system prompts, please get ready!Please be prepared!Please note that task two will start in about 5 minutes! 】

This is about to start?Shen Chu was so startled that not only the arrow fell to the ground, but the bow also fell to the ground.Fortunately, the bow in the palace is not extraordinary, and it was not broken.

Shen Chu didn't have time to pick it up, so he looked up to find the location of the lotus pond.Before, he asked the system administrator if the hero would be drowned, and the system told him no, because Xiao Yu had the aura of the protagonist of the system on him.But if the mission cannot be completed, Shen Chu can only continue to pretend to be Shen Yanchu to complete future missions, and even he will lose control of this body.

The only ending waiting for Shen Chu was to be hacked into pieces. Goosebumps all over Shen Chu's body came out at the thought of this ending.

After looking around for a while, Shen Chu found that the lotus pond was not far from here, but only about 100 meters away.It's just that the road is winding, and there are a few pines and cypresses planted on both sides, so it's hard to see who is near the lotus pond.

Um?Shen Chu thought for a while and felt that something was wrong. The most reckless Xiao Shuo in the palace was right under his nose, and Xiao Yu didn't go out of the palace very often when he was fine. How could he fall into the lotus pond in such a short while?

Could it be... Shen Chu felt that something was wrong, and after talking to the others, he pretended to be respectful and left here, but actually ran to look at the lotus pond.

In this season, a thin layer of ice has formed in the lotus pond, and the dark brown residual lotus on the lake is frozen on the water surface, making the lake water filthy.It is relatively remote here, and the maids and eunuchs did not clean it with all their heart.There are a few pine and cypress trees planted on the east side of the lotus pond, Shen Chu came from here and just hid under the trees so that he would not be seen.

As soon as he hid under a tree not far from the lotus pond, there was a noise in the distance.

The voice should be the Third Prince Xiao Can.

"You little bastard, you still want to steal my limelight!" Xiao Can is 25 this year, logically speaking, he shouldn't be so reckless, I'm afraid he has been dissatisfied with Xiao Yu for a long time, and it just broke out today.

Shen Chu was analyzing the situation, when he first saw Xiao Yu staggered from being pushed, his legs softened and he fell hard on the cobblestone ground.It is winter now, and the ground is frozen and hard. It is estimated that half of the body will be bruised after such a fall.Xiao Yu didn't even say a word, but just looked indifferently at the pebbles in front of him.

At this moment, Shen Chu remembered that in the original book, the third prince was indeed the one who started first, and the fifth prince was also nearby, so they came together to bully Xiao Yu.In order to please the fifth prince, Shen Yanchu took the initiative to ask Xiao Yu to be pushed into the water.

After Xiao Yu fell into the water, the third prince and the fifth prince talked and joked together, and Shen Yanchu made peace on the sidelines.The accompanying readers on both sides made sarcasm, but no one cared about Xiao Yu.It wasn't until the third prince was afraid that he would really die that he was caught.

There is still a distance of more than ten meters to reach the lotus pond, and soon Xiao Yu will be pushed into the water.No, he must act quickly!

The more anxious he was, the more flustered he became. Shen Chu's hands were already sweating, and Xiao Yu's body was pushed closer and closer to the lotus pond. He gritted his teeth and ran back.

It can only be this way!

The author has something to say:

【small theater】

Shen Chu: If you want to keep a man, you must hook his stomach first!

Xiao Yu: Actually...it seems that you are also quite good at "eating"
