Chapter 58
C58 – You’re Teasing Me?
Han Sen hesitated for a while, shot a glance at the Young Eunuch who was attending to him, and then led Yin Xu to the backyard.
When they reached the second door, the butler and Wu Sheng were left outside. After all, the rear courtyard was filled with Third Prince’s concubines.
Of course, Yin Xu had a special identity.
“The backyard is more than half the size of the front courtyard. Because the manor doesn’t have a proper mistress, we didn’t meticulously manage it. It looks a bit desolate.”
Yin Xu laughed and thought: This is more than depression, compared to the magnificent front courtyard, this backyard is like a woodshed.
“Has Teng Yu never come before? “How could he spread those ludicrous stories of his private life if he didn’t go into the backyard?”
“His Highness naturally came.” Han Sen replied very briefly, and did not explain the reason.
After walking for a while, he occasionally bumped into a few servant girls. When they saw Han Sen, they respectfully bowed and sized him up, probably because they wanted to see how high this new male pet could go.
“What do they do?”
“Who do you mean?”
“This is my concubine’s pet in the backyard. She’s locked in this square inch of land and won’t step out of the door until she’s outside. What can I do?”
Han Sen thought about it carefully, “Probably… “It’s just embroidery or playing the zither, most concubines just spend their entire lives like this.”
“What about the first wife?”
“The principal wife is much busier and has to attend to her in-laws. She has to be like a husband and daughter, as well as a housekeeper for her finances. Naturally, these concubines can’t compare to her.”
Yin Xu nodded, thinking: No wonder my position is so low, all I do is play, I’m a cripple!
When he arrived outside the door, Han Sen introduced: “This is the eastern courtyard, the place is occupied by the palace maids bestowed by the Emperor as well as the beauties sent by the various princes and princes.”
Yin Xu stood at the door for a while. Seeing that no one was moving around in the courtyard, it was probably because he received the news beforehand and hid in his room, not coming out.
How boring! Yin Xu curled his lips and followed Han Sen.
“This is the Southern Courtyard, and the place is where the ladies and singers from various rich merchants have come to.”
Yin Xu looked up and down, and realized that this southern courtyard was even more exquisite than the western courtyard. “What kind of logic is this? “The southern courtyard is better off than the eastern courtyard?”
Han Sen coughed and replied in a low voice: “Your Highness said that most of these people are just here to serve you, do not be harsh on them.”
Using Teng Yu’s words, “The people of the western courtyard came here with different goals, I have raised them and it is enough to waste rice and food, do you still want me to worship them?”
After they finished looking at the western courtyard, Han Sen stopped and asked casually, “Seventh Young Master, is it not early yet? The Northern Courtyard is rather remote. If you want to go there, you have to get someone to bring you lanterns. “
Yin Xu originally did not have the intention to continue walking, but after hearing this, he became interested, and did not ignore the wariness that flashed past Han Sen’s eyes.
There had to be something he didn’t want him to see! Yin Xu said: “Since you’ve come, let’s take a look.”
Han Sen lowered his head and promised. He then went into the western courtyard and brought out a lantern, then led Yin Xu to walk towards the direction of the northern courtyard.
The more they walked, the more deserted it became. Originally, they could still see one or two servants on the road. However, after they passed the western courtyard, not a single person could be seen.
“The magnificent Third Prince Mansion, the rear courtyard is actually so deserted, aren’t you afraid that outsiders will find out?” Yin Xu joked.
“Most of the people living in the Northern Courtyard were abandoned by His Highness. They were no different from the Cold Palace. Naturally, it would be more deserted.”
“Oh, I see.”
When he approached the northern courtyard, Yin Xu’s originally casual attitude had become much more serious. He glanced at Han Sen and smiled.
“This Northern Courtyard…” Not bad. ” He might not have a keen sense of smell like Teng Yu, but it was still easy to tell whether a place was filled with men or women.
The Northern Courtyard was filled with a strong sense of vitality. It was completely different from the three courtyards that he had just passed. There must be a lot of men gathered inside.
Yin Xu originally thought that the North Courtyard was a gathering place for male lovers, which was why he was full of vitality. However, when he stood at the entrance of the North Courtyard, he overturned his conclusion.
So when Yin Xu stepped into the courtyard for the first time, it was still as empty as before, with no one moving outside. He stood in the middle of the courtyard, patrolling the arranged houses, and said with a smile: “This place is actually a good place.”
Compared to the other three courtyards, the Northern Courtyard was much more spacious. Outside the courtyard was a circle of tall trees that surrounded the entire Northern Courtyard and very well blocked it from view. There were no flowers in the yard, and there were some messy marks on the ground, as if it had just been tidied up.
Yin Xu could feel that there were people in the house, and there were quite a few of them. These people gave him a very familiar feeling, their Qi was very similar to the Dark Guard beside Teng Yu.
Han Sen stood behind him with his back bent and asked calmly, “Seventh Young Master, leave after you’ve finished reading. It’s still the backyard after all.
“Mn, that’s true, let’s go, it’s about time Teng Yu returned as well.” Yin Xu took one last glance at the tightly shut door, then left with a smile.
Teng Yu returned a bit later than Yin Xu expected. It was said that he was left with food by the emperor, and after the meal, he was diagnosed by a few old doctors of the imperial hospital who took turns after he was done with his meal. It was only when every imperial physician told him that there was nothing wrong with his body and he was only suffering from a deficiency of Qi and blood did he let the emperor release him, bringing back with him two large carts of rewards.
The yard was brightly lit. The eunuchs who accompanied them sang a long list of rewards, “Your Majesty’s reward …” A hundred taels of gold, two pairs of jade ruyi, one golden Buddha, four literary treasures … “
As Yin Xu looked at those few large boxes, a feeling of “jealousy” involuntarily arose in his heart.
“The Emperor is so generous!” He opened a large wooden chest, which was filled with cloth. Even if he didn’t touch it, he could tell that it was of high quality.
For example, for clothes, cultivators only cared about the high defensive capabilities of their clothes, while mortals cared about the poor quality of their clothes. The cut and cut cloth didn’t match, and the embroidery was not as exquisite; one was more important to practical, and the other was more important to enjoyment.
Teng Yu opened the other chest and called Yin Xu over, “Take a look at these ingredients, if you need them, go ahead and take them. However, give me the two that you gave me the other time, one bottle each.”
Yin Xu rolled his eyes at him, “Do you think that medicine is easy to obtain?” And a bottle for each.
He walked over to take a closer look at the medicinal herbs in the box. The list was still carefully stuck outside the box. There were indeed a few that he needed.
Actually, Yin Xu did not know that many medicinal ingredients, and the ones he knew how to concoct were only a dozen or so types.
There were many herbs which he was unable to find in the world of rebirth, and there were only five that could be made up. Luckily, this world didn’t lack some superior poison formulas, so he could learn some more.
Picking out the ones that he recognized, there were many medicinal ingredients that were considered to be very valuable in the eyes of mortals. In Yin Xu’s eyes, they were no different than grass and grass because he did not recognize them.
Yin Xu calculated and said, “There are not enough medicinal ingredients.”
Teng Yu nodded his head, “If you need anything, just tell Han Sen. In short, the more of the two medicines, the better.”
Actually, Teng Yu wanted to ask for the formula even more. There were two old men who belonged to him at the Grand Hospital. Compared to a young boy like Yin Xu, he trusted the level of the imperial physician even more.
However, the matter of a formula … It was easy for a few things to go wrong, but at the current stage, he had not gotten to know Yin Xu that well.
Other than the medicinal ingredients, Yin Xu had also picked out some other things. But this time, other than the two pairs of jade ruyi, Yin Xu did not touch anything else, in any case, the rest were all kept in his residence. If he wanted to steal them, that was fine, but he did not need to keep them for himself.
As long as he didn’t empty his warehouse, Yin Xu could give him whatever he wanted. Why would he want to steal it?
After telling his men to store the remaining items, Teng Yu asked Yin Xu to follow him to the study room.
“Sit.” Teng Yu said to the teenager who was currently visiting his study excitedly.
Yin Xu retracted his gaze from the two bookshelves, and sat opposite to him, playing with the ink and paper on the table.
Teng Yu raised an eyebrow, “You don’t want to know what happened after I entered the palace?”
“I’m all ears!” Yin Xu immediately put down his things and adjusted his posture.
Actually, it’s nothing much. After enjoying a fake round of pleasantries, after eating an awkward meal with the emperor, and after listening to his lecture, I beat him up and gave him a candy, there’s nothing new about it.
“What else?” Yin Xu was doubtful and waited for him to finish. If that was all, why did he call him into the study room?
“Also, that box was given to me by the Imperial Consort Yun. I never used anything from her.
“…” Yin Xu replied with an expression of “you’re kidding me”.
