Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 194 The Prince Treated as a Chicken

Ningyuxuan.

After dinner, Huang Ye ignored others and fell asleep. She hadn’t slept well for two nights in a row. Her tense nerves suddenly relaxed and she felt extremely sleepy.

She slept until sunset. When it was time to finish her meal, Hongdou woke her up. She had to wake her up. Today, all the ladies were coming to the palace, and she didn't know which lady the emperor would stay with. She had to prepare in advance. What if the emperor came? She couldn't sleep in when the emperor came.

Huang Ye yawned and got up. Hongdou casually braided her loose hair into a pigtail and tied it with a ribbon. The food was already on the table, but Aunt Fanghua and Xiao Xiangzi did not come in.

"I just got up too. I've already asked my aunt, and she said they all had already eaten." Seeing Huang Ye looking at her with questioning eyes, Hongdou said immediately.

"Call Green Bean to come and eat." The small kitchen couldn't be cleaned up in a short time, so they had to go to the imperial kitchen to get food. However, the meals for the two beans were collected from the canteen that was specially used to prepare meals for the palace maids and eunuchs. Today was her first day, so she might as well eat with her.

Hongdou ran out to call Ludou, and Huangye sat down. She was not very hungry now. Due to the cold weather and the long journey, the food brought from the imperial kitchen was no longer very hot. It seemed that this small kitchen should be cleaned up quickly so that she could cook by herself in the future to avoid eating these half-warm meals.

The most satisfying thing about the palace for Huang Ye is that there is a very humane rule here. If the ladies do not want to get their meals from the imperial kitchen, they can convert their monthly food expenses into silver and buy ingredients and cook their own meals in the imperial kitchen.

This can be considered a benefit given to the ladies in the palace. A lady who is short of money can get the food allowance, and then eat worse, and can save a lot of money. Therefore, almost every palace has a small kitchen. Of course, most of the small kitchens are just for decoration and are only used to cook some soups. Which lady who can enter the palace can be short of that little money? Very few of them actually use the small kitchen to cook.

Hongdou and Ludou came in together, and the three of them quickly finished their dinner. Huang Ye saw that it was still bright outside, so he walked out of the dining room and wanted to go out for a look.

As soon as she walked out, she saw the prince running towards her from the corridor. When he saw Huang Ye, he threw himself into Huang Ye's arms, looking very aggrieved.

Huang Ye's heart skipped a beat. Oh no, she forgot about the prince during the meal. No wonder she felt like something was missing just now. It seemed like the prince was going out hunting by himself tonight.

"I'm sorry, Prince. I forgot about you when we were having dinner just now." Huang Ye is a good master who can take the initiative to admit his mistakes: "How about you go out and find food by yourself tonight? There is nothing here now. Otherwise, you can hunt two rabbits tomorrow and I will ask Green Bean to roast them for you?" Now that the prince has passed the test and is her pet, she is not afraid that people in the palace will do him any harm.

The prince still felt wronged. He was bullied for not being able to speak. Where was his nest? Where was his warm and comfortable nest? His master must have forgotten it.

Aunt Fanghua, Xiao Xiangzi, and the maids and eunuchs of Ningyuxuan were all standing in the yard, watching Huang Ye discussing something with her pet, and they were all curious.

Xiao Xiangzi walked over and looked at the prince curiously: "Madam, this... uh, this chicken... can it really understand?" Although the list said that the Madam would bring a bird, he had never seen a bird weighing several kilograms. Seeing it fluttering and running in the corridor just now, it didn't look like it could fly. It looked like a chicken, and a hen at that.

The prince turned around and glared at Xiao Xiangzi. Huang Ye began to laugh. This laugh was like a blooming flower, which dazzled Xiao Xiangzi. His master was so beautiful.

Xiao Xiangzi, who was dizzy from Huang Ye's laughter, continued to jump on the edge of death: "Madam, this chicken is really well raised... The feathers on its body are shiny and glossy, it must be a hen..."

The prince suddenly jumped down from Huang Ye's arms and pounced on Xiao Xiangzi. This little eunuch was too much. He tolerated being called a chicken, but he actually called it a hen. How could he, a dignified male eagle, have the dignity to do that? I peck... I peck... I peck peck peck...

Xiao Xiangzi was so scared that he ran around the yard. Is this chicken so fierce? It is indeed a pet raised by the queen. It is different from others.

Hongdou and Ludou were amused by Xiaoxiangzi's embarrassed look and laughed out loud. Hongdou laughed so hard that he hiccuped: "Xiaoxiangzi, you are such a talent... Prince is an eagle, Hiccup... a male eagle... Hiccup... Prince, you have come to this day... Hiccup..."

The people in the yard also noticed that, although the eagle was chasing and pecking Xiao Xiangzi all over the yard, it was sensible and only pecked at his clothes without hurting anyone.

Xiao Xiangzi understood what he heard, and he apologized to the prince while running: "Prince, I'm sorry, I didn't recognize you just now... I apologize to you, Uncle Diao, can you please stop, I'm so tired..."

The prince was pleased by the calls of "Uncle Eagle". He stopped and paced in the yard with the steps he thought were very powerful.

Everyone who had never seen the prince was stunned by his particularly anthropomorphic behavior. Is this eagle so smart? Can it really understand human language?

A young eunuch named Xiao Chengzi, who looked only about eleven or twelve years old, called out to the prince curiously, "Uncle Diao."

The prince became even more arrogant. He stiffened his neck and glanced at Xiao Chengzi with his little eyes, as if to say, "You are sensible."

Little Xiangzi, panting like a dog, kept shouting: "It's amazing, it's amazing, this old man Diao really understands what we say." Although he has the title of chief eunuch, he is actually only seventeen years old this year, still a half-grown boy, at the age of loving to play. He ran to the prince happily and said: "Uncle Diao, I will build a nest for you in my room. Can we live in the same room?"

Xiao Xiangzi patted his chest and said, "I, Xiao Xiangzi, promise that I will share with you any delicious and fun things." It would be cool to tell others about living with such a powerful and humane Uncle Diao.

The prince glanced at him, then staggered into his room: Okay, since he was so flattering, he agreed reluctantly. He didn't do it for the delicious food and fun things that the little eunuch promised to give him.
