Chapter 268: Beautiful Killer VS Undefeated War God Prince 11
"Girl, look at this Mingxi Courtyard, it is so much better than the Fangfei Courtyard where we lived before!"

Xiangling followed beside him, and she was so happy that she kept praising him, "The prince is so good to you that he gave you a place that only concubines are qualified to live in before you even sleep with him."

Yu Yao glanced at Xiangling and said, "Xiangling, don't say too much, lest someone hears you and causes trouble."

Although I said this, I was still very happy in my heart.

As the two were talking, the sound of hurried footsteps broke the silence in the yard.

Eunuch Li Fu walked in with a whisk in his hand, smiling widely, followed by several humble maids and servants.

"Miss Yu, the prince sympathizes with your lack of manpower and has ordered this old servant to send a few people to serve you."

Eunuch Li's voice was full of respect, and he pointed at the maids and servants with a smile, "Miss Yu, please take a look, they are all smart children with clean backgrounds."

"Meet Miss Yu."

The maids and servants saluted Yu Yao with great tact.

Yu Yao took a look and found that they were all very smart and good-looking, but the most important thing for the people serving them was loyalty.

As for whether the back is clean, you will only know after careful observation.

She took two steps forward and bowed slightly to Li Fu: "They are both very smart and good-looking. I am really sorry to trouble you to make this trip."

As she spoke, she took out a beautifully embroidered purse from her sleeve and handed it over.

Eunuch Li Fu took the purse and smiled even more brightly: "Miss Yu, you are too polite. This is my duty. The prince also gave you many things, all of which are the best jewelry, fabrics, rouge and powder. I hope you like them."

Several young eunuchs came up with trays, all covered with red silk. They removed the red silk one by one.

In an instant, the sight of all kinds of jewels and precious stones was dazzling.

Yu Yao walked forward and took a closer look. There were all kinds of brightly colored expensive fabrics, which were light, thin and breathable. They were all suitable for wearing in this season and could be used to make clothes immediately.

There are also beautifully crafted jewelry and the finest rouge and powder.

"Huh? Is this Luo Zi Dai?"

Seeing the luozide, she raised her eyebrows in surprise. Luozide seemed to be a tribute from Persia and the quantity was extremely rare.

There are only a few boxes every year, and most of them are distributed to the favored women in the harem.

For example, the queen and the imperial concubine.

There are no ones who are of a slightly lower status or who are less favored.

"Father-in-law, this..."

Yu Yao pointed at the box of Luozidai and looked at Eunuch Li with a puzzled look.

Eunuch Li thought she didn't know it, so he smiled and explained, "This is Luozidai, a product of Persia. The prince said that the young lady would like it, so he ordered me to bring two boxes from the storehouse."

This was not what Yu Yao wanted to ask, but thinking about how Xuanyuan City often fought wars with various countries, the good things looted on the battlefield might be more than what was in the emperor’s treasury.

It is not uncommon to have Luozidai.

In addition to Luozidai, there are also several boxes of high-quality fresh tea, and one box each of golden melon seeds and silver nude seeds.

Xuanyuan Cheng probably feared that she had nothing to reward her servants, so he specially prepared these two things for her.

Not to mention, these two things came just in time, as she really had nothing to give as a reward.

There were only a few silver bills brought from the Western Regions.

"Please ask the eunuch to thank the prince for me."

Yu Yao bowed slightly and said with a smile.

"nature."

The two men exchanged a few polite words, and Eunuch Li left with his men.

Yu Yao asked Xiangling to take the reward into the house, and then turned her eyes to the new faces.

Some of them lowered their heads shyly, while others looked around curiously. They were all in their prime, with their eyes flickering with longing and anxiety for the future.

"Since you have entered Mingxi Court, you are my people. I have only one rule here, and that is absolute loyalty. Although my position is not high, I can still punish a few disobedient servants if I want to."

Her voice was soft but had a power that could not be ignored.

Now there is no mistress, concubine or concubine in the Qin Palace, and the few women in the backyard do not serve the emperor's bedchamber.

She is not even a concubine, so she should not have the ability to place people there. I think these people should be quite clean.

But what needs to be said still needs to be said.

These people bowed their heads and began to show their loyalty.

Yu Yao didn't say anything and began to give them names one by one.

"You, whose name is Xiangtao and whose personality is lively, will be responsible for taking care of the flowers and plants in the yard."

"You, who are calm and reserved, will be called Xiangju and will be responsible for my clothing management."

"And you, with your lively eyes, will be called Xianghe, and will be responsible for the daily preparation of tea."

The two young eunuchs were named Xiao Zhongzi and Xiao Xinzi. One was responsible for serving meals, and the other was responsible for gathering information.

Everyone was assigned tasks, and Mingxi Courtyard gradually became lively.

Yu Yao gave each of them a purse with a few taels of silver in it, and then turned and went into the house.

"Miss, where are the golden melon seeds and silver nuts?" Xiangling came to her holding two boxes and asked with embarrassment.

Yu Yao took a look and said, "Give it to me."

Xiangling handed over the box.

She reached out to take it, walked to the head of the bed with the box in her arms, and opened the bottom cabinet.

It seemed that the box was placed inside, but in fact she had secretly placed it in the space.

Just close the cabinet door.

Although she has not yet served the emperor in the emperor's bedchamber and Xuanyuan City has not given her a position, the treatment she receives is at least above the level of a concubine.

A concubine is not qualified to live in such a nice courtyard, nor does she have so many maids and servants to serve her.

Xiao Zhongzi brought over the dinner, which included stir-fried lamb with green onions, duck stuffed with glutinous rice, pork slices with vinegar, and bird's nest with lotus leaves.

There is also a bowl of Codonopsis pilosula and pigeon soup.

Four dishes and one soup.

The food was much better than when she was in Fangfeiyuan.

She only had one meat dish and one vegetable dish. No, it should be half meat dish and one vegetable dish.

All-meat dishes such as chicken, duck, beef, mutton and pigeon were never served on the table.

At most, it’s just some fried vegetables with meat slices, and that can be considered a meat dish.

It’s not that Xuanyuan City is harsh, but this is how concubines are treated.

How good can the treatment be for a concubine who doesn't serve the emperor in bed?
It's good enough if I can feed you.

Now, with just one word from Xuanyuan Cheng, her living standard has skyrocketed.

No wonder those women in the backyard are trying so hard to win favor.

Without pampering, even life cannot be guaranteed.

She ate half of it and could not eat any more, so she asked Xiangling to share the rest with the maids and servants outside.

She ate only half of each dish and left the other side untouched.

In this era, the master's gift of food is a reward, and no one will despise it.

Xiangling happily took her leftovers outside and shared them with everyone.

Of course, she kept the best stir-fried lamb with green onions for herself.

The slaves under them usually just have enough to eat and have no chance to eat any meat, let alone such good food.

The maids and servants in Mingxi Courtyard were very happy to see their master presenting them with dishes, and felt that they had hope for the future.

Yu Yao strolled in the yard, holding her stomach to help digest the food.

At this time, night has fallen, and Mingxi Courtyard is caressed by the soft moonlight, making it even more quiet and beautiful.

Xuanyuan Cheng came under the moonlight, his figure elongated in the candlelight, appearing exceptionally tall.

Seeing Xuanyuan Cheng, she was slightly startled, and hurried forward to salute, "This servant greets the prince."

The voice was soft and somewhat cheerful.

Xuanyuan Cheng was dressed in a black brocade robe and walked with steady steps. His face looked even more handsome under the moonlight.

He stopped in front of Yu Yao, smiled and helped her up, and asked gently, "Is this Mingxi Courtyard to your liking?"

Yu Yao raised her head, met Xuanyuan Cheng's deep eyes, and smiled slightly, "It's fine, Your Majesty, thank you for your concern."

After saying this, she followed his hand.

The two walked into the house hand in hand. The house was elegantly decorated with flickering candlelight, creating a warm and romantic atmosphere.

Xiangling served two cups of hot tea at the right time and then quietly left, leaving the couple alone to enjoy their rare quiet time.

Xuanyuan Cheng sat casually on the couch, took a sip of tea, and then put it down.

Thinking of her illness a few days ago, he looked at her with concern, "Were you ill a few days ago? Are you feeling better now? Have you asked the court doctor to see you?"

Yu Yao nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine now."

Xuanyuan Cheng listened to her self-proclaimed name, frowned slightly, and said sternly: "Yao'er, from now on, you don't need to call yourself a slave in front of me. Since you have entered my Qin Palace, you are my woman, and you should call yourself a concubine."

Yu Yao's cheeks blushed slightly, "But I... I haven't slept with you yet, I'm afraid it's against the rules?"

Xuanyuan Cheng chuckled, suddenly picked up the person and walked towards the inner room.

Looking at the woman in his arms, he said lovingly, "After tonight, everything will be in accordance with the rules."

"Your Majesty."

Yu Yao screamed and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her face already flushed.

Although she is already an experienced person and is very greedy for this man, it does not stop her from blushing.

It’s not that she likes Xuanyuan City so much, but she just wants it because she has been feeling empty for a long time.

She touched the man's abdominal muscles inconspicuously and found that he had a really great body. She thought that aspect should also satisfy her.
