After living in Prince Rui's mansion for a few days, Qingtian seemed to have adapted to life here a little.
Although she was still not used to the fact that a group of servants would always surround her, she no longer wanted to hide out of fear like she did at the beginning.
But when there was nothing to do, she still liked to keep Birui alone by her side and send everyone else away.
So everyone in Prince Rui's mansion was extremely envious of Birui.
Why didn’t I think she was so capable when I was in the palace before?
How could he become the young master's confidant so quickly?
Everyone has witnessed how Prince Rui and Princess Rui have spoiled the young master during the few days he has been back.
Being favored by the young master, although not a meteoric rise to fame, makes a huge difference to one's status in the prince's mansion.
What's more, the servants in the palace are basically all family-born children.
Almost all of my parents, brothers and sisters work in the mansion.
After Birui was valued by the young master, the stewards in the mansion began to treat her family differently.
Her parents had both been transferred back from the farm. Now one had an easy job in the stable, and the other was a housekeeper in the kitchen.
When everyone saw her brothers, they spoke much more politely than before.
The family also knew that this was all thanks to Birui, and everyone welcomed her with a smile.
"Xiao Rui, look what your mother brought you." Bi Rui's mother stood outside the yard on a sunny day, holding a white cloth bundle in her hands.
Birui received the news from the maid and hurried out of the yard.
"Look, these are your favorite vegetarian buns." As soon as Birui's mother saw her daughter, her face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum smile.
Birui said with a hint of impatience: "Mom, didn't I tell you not to bring me food?
"I am following the young master, how could I be without food?"
"Oh, silly child, how can it be the same!"
When Birui's mother saw that her daughter refused to take the bundle, she simply took out a big, plump white bun from it and stuffed it into Birui's hand.
"Try it while it's hot. It won't taste good if it gets cold..."
Birui knew her mother's temper. If she didn't eat the buns today, her mother would keep lingering here.
She had no choice but to grab the bun, take a bite, chew it a few times and swallow it.
Seeing this, Birui's mother hurriedly asked, "Is it delicious? This is made for you by the people in the kitchen who I watched over."
“We use the tenderest part of the choy sum, and add eggs and vermicelli.
"It's even more refined than the ones made for the masters!"
After hearing this, Birui was so scared that she almost threw the bun in her hand away.
She lowered her voice and said, "Mom, what are you talking about! Is this the place to say such things? If someone hears it, it will be over!"
"Oh, what are you afraid of? The young master doesn't like to have too many people around him. He only wants you to serve him. Everyone in the mansion knows this. Who can..."
Before Bi Rui Niang finished speaking, she suddenly heard her daughter's trembling voice say, "Young Master, this servant..."
When Birui Niang heard this, she lowered her head and saw Qingtian standing inside the door looking at them.
Her legs suddenly went weak and she fell to her knees with a thud. The bundle in her hands fell apart and the plump white buns rolled all over the floor.
"Oh, the buns are all dirty, what a pity." Qingtian looked at the buns on the ground and said with a distressed look on his face.
When Birui Niang heard this, she thought Qingtian didn't hear what she had just said, and she instantly became energetic again.
She greeted Qingtian with a big smile on her face, and then said, "My young master, my daughter Birui has been kind and perceptive since she was young.
"If you allow her to stay with you, she will definitely serve you well..."
Birui couldn't stand listening any longer, so she quickly stopped her mother and said, "Okay, Mom, stop talking.
"Shouldn't it be time to start preparing dinner? Why don't you go back quickly?"
Fortunately, in front of Qingtian, Birui's mother listened to her daughter and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Yes, it's time to go back and prepare dinner."
Birui Niang stood up and prepared to leave.
Qingtian suddenly asked, "What are you going to do with these buns?"
Bi Rui Niang slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, look at my memory. I'll pack it up and take it back and throw it away."
"Throw it away?" Qingtian's eyes widened in surprise. "You're just going to throw away such delicious buns?"
Upon hearing this, Birui winked at her mother repeatedly.
It was a pity that Bi Rui Niang didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all. Instead, she said with a smile: "Yes, my young master, you don't know that our palace is different from... We don't lack these things and money at all.
"Such dirty things cannot be fed to the master.
"And the prince and princess have always treated us servants well and would never let us eat such dirty things..."
Before Birui Niang finished her words, Qingtian shouted towards the yard: "Xiaoye!"
With a roar, a huge dog, more than half a person's height on all fours, suddenly rushed out of the yard.
Birui Niang was so frightened that she stepped back repeatedly. Although she had heard that the young master had a big wolfhound, it was really scary to see it so close suddenly.
Xiaoye ran to Qingtian, wagging his tail and waiting for her next order.
Qingtian pointed at the buns on the ground and said, "Try them. Do you like them? Here are some for you!"
Xiaoye only eats the food given by Qingtian. Even if Qingtian goes out for a few days occasionally, he has to designate someone to feed him in advance.
Once Qingtian returns, the person previously designated will no longer be valid.
Xiaoye followed Qingtian's order, walked up to a bun, smelled it, and found the taste acceptable.
But he still carefully bit open the crust, smelled the bun filling again, and then started eating.
Birui Niang’s bun is quite big, but compared with Xiao Ye’s, it suddenly becomes small.
Seeing Xiaoye devouring the buns on the ground one by one, Birui Niang was so frightened that she quickly said, "Well, well, young master, I will take my leave first."
Birui's face turned red. She looked at Qingtian, wanting to apologize on behalf of her mother, but for a moment she didn't know where to start.
Qingtian didn't seem to take the matter seriously at all. Seeing Xiaoye finish his buns, he called to him, "Come on, let's go for a walk."
Seeing this, Birui hurried to follow, and Qingtian did not stop her.
It seems that the young master really didn’t hear it?
Birui followed Qingtian and Xiaoye, and couldn't help thinking about what had happened before.
Come to think of it, no matter how smart the young master is, he is still a child after all. Moreover, he has just been found and should not understand the twists and turns in the palace.
Although she thought so, Birui always felt a little uneasy in her heart.
She remained absent-minded like this until evening.
After helping Qingtian wash up, Birui finally couldn't help but kneel down and said, "Young Master, this servant girl did something wrong today. This servant girl admits her mistake on her behalf. I beg you to be lenient with her."
