Glancing up, I saw a young and bright face, a pair of dark, narrow eyes, and a pair of bright red lips that were neither thin nor thick.
There was a large swelling on his face, which abruptly destroyed his gentle beauty.
Helian Yu held the steamed bun in his arms and took a step back cautiously.
"Hurry up! The Concubine Shu has ordered that if you dare to delay the Emperor's lunch, you will be punished!"
The eunuch from Concubine Shu's palace came to deliver the message. The steward from the imperial kitchen bowed and scraped, said a few flattering words, and then hurriedly called on the cooks and palace servants to get busy again.
Helian Yu was afraid of being discovered, so she crouched and carefully moved behind the table. Suddenly, she felt a chill on her back. She turned around and saw the pretty little eunuch raising his hand to grab the stove.
Helian Yu took a deep breath and turned his eyes to the stove.
Sure enough, a ferocious-looking fat cook was holding a fire poker and was about to burn the pretty little eunuch's hand.
If you get burned by a fire stick, you will probably be scarred for life.
Seeing that the young eunuch was about to be scalded, Helian Yu didn't care about anything else. He quickly got up and threw the vegetable steamed bun in his hand over.
The fire stick was knocked off balance, and the fat cook yelled, startling the pretty young eunuch so much that he came to his senses and withdrew his hand.
Helian Yu stepped forward, grabbed the pretty young eunuch by the collar, and dragged him out of the imperial kitchen.
Such a big move caused chaos in the imperial kitchen.
The fat cook yelled frantically, "Catch the little thief! Someone is trying to poison His Majesty!"
Helian Yu almost fell flat on his face.
The tyrant only has three years left to live, poisoning him is totally unnecessary! Everyone in the imperial kitchen stopped what they were doing and gathered around the two men.
Helian Yu started by grabbing the pretty young eunuch by the back of his collar, and when he stood up, he grabbed his wrist and led him out of the imperial kitchen.
But the imperial kitchen was crowded with people, as swarming as locusts. The two of them ran quickly, playing a big game of hide-and-seek with everyone.
"Don't worry about me, just go away."
Helian Yu gritted his teeth and smiled: "Why didn't you say it just now?"
If he had said it a moment earlier, she would have left him and run away alone.
He had to wait until he was surrounded before he hypocritically said such a thing? The people in the palace were so hypocritical.
The handsome young eunuch was stunned. Helian Yu's straightforward and honest remarks made him at a loss for words.
"Eunuch Li is here!"
In front of the main gate was a eunuch wearing a red robe. He was the second chief steward of the imperial kitchen, Eunuch Li Wei.
Li Wei walked forward, his fairly handsome face looking a little unsightly with his age.
He asked a dozen eunuchs to surround Helian Yu and the other man, and waved to the other people in the imperial kitchen.
He raised his voice and shouted, "Everyone, go back to work! If we delay His Majesty's afternoon meal, we will all lose our heads!"
The palace servants knew what was more important and quickly returned to their seats.
Li Wei looked at Helian Yu, who looked like a black loach, with disdain in his eyes. Just as he was about to send him away, he glanced at the person beside him and smiled, "Xiao Muzi, go get two steamed buns for this dirty little thing and send him away."
"As for this little eunuch, bring him to our courtyard. You have to teach him the rules!"
Two warm white buns were stuffed into Helian Yu's hands.
But, little dirty thing? Helian Yu gritted his teeth, took a big bite of the big white steamed bun, and followed Li Wei and his group.
In the novels she had read, eunuchs were all cruel and perverted. She saw that Eunuch Li Wei was quite similar. He would not cause any harm...
Helian Yu couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he tiptoed and followed quietly.
Li Wei brought the pretty little eunuch to a small courtyard, which looked narrow but clean and elegant.
"Isn't this Eunuch Chang? Why is he so rude in our imperial kitchen?"
Li Wei lifted his chin with his hand, his cloudy eyes were like venom, glued to his lustful face.
Every word was like a sharp knife stabbing Xiao Anzi, but Xiao Anzi just drooped his eyelids and made no response.
"Oh, no, no! Look at my memory!"
"That's not Little Eunuch Chang, it's Little Anzi! Little Anzi!"
"I heard that Eunuch Chang lost a piece of porcelain yesterday, and it was stolen by this little Anzi. Oh, how foolish!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Eunuch Li's eyes turned stern and he raised his hand to slap Xiao Anzi in the face.
The intact half of Xiao Anzi's face also began to swell up, and he fell heavily to the ground.
Xiao Anzi was slapped to the ground. Eunuch Li stepped on his head and crushed his face hard, deforming the skin on his face.
Helian Yu hid behind a tree, munching on a big steamed bun, frowning and shaking his head.
A tiger in the plain is bullied by a dog; a phoenix in the water is no better than a chicken.
It’s a pity for that pretty little eunuch. He will probably be bullied terribly.
It's really heartbreaking.
Helian Yu planned to run away quickly after eating the steamed bun and stay away from the troubles in the palace.
"Xiao Anzi, Xiao Anzi, His Majesty has praised you for being able to serve others. We didn't have this blessing before, but today we must give it a try!"
"My throat is uncomfortable today. There is always something dirty stuck in my throat."
"Please, Master Xiao Anzi, open your mouth and take in the filth in our throat."
Helian Yu vomited, and the big steamed bun in his mouth suddenly lost its fragrance.
She hid the remaining steamed buns in her arms, wrinkled her little face, and looked at Xiao Anzi who was being stepped on by Eunuch Li.
Waiting for him to rise up and resist.
After watching the play, she went back to the cold palace to take a nap.
After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he mercifully raised his foot and glanced at Xiao Anzi's pretty swollen face, which was marked by the marks of his shoe soles. His eyes glowed green with excitement.
"Xiao Anzi, open your mouth."
Xiao Anzi's black eyes were gray, gloomy and decadent, and he slowly opened his mouth.
Li Wei laughed loudly, and the eunuchs around him also laughed and made a noise, except for little Anzi on the ground who looked up and lowered his eyes.
Seeing Li Wei let out a "huh" sound, he was about to bend down to vomit.
Helian Yu was worried that this would leave him with a psychological trauma, so he rushed out and hit Li Wei's thigh with his head, pushing him three feet away.
Helian Yu grabbed Xiao Anzi's hair, pulled him up, and ran out of the yard.
Behind him, Li Wei and his eunuchs were scolding him.
The one pulling beside him was Xiao Anzi's silent smile.
After many twists and turns, he fled in a hurry.
After about a quarter of an hour, Helian Yu took Xiao Anzi and hid in a secluded place.
Helian Yu sat down on the ground and looked up at Xiao Anzi, "Are you Chang An?"
"yes."
Xiao Anzi lowered his eyebrows and acted submissive.
Helian Yu now understood that Chang An in the book was a flexible character. With his intelligence and means, he successfully took the position of Supervisor of East Factory at the age of 20.
I didn't expect him to be so open-minded.
When Helian Yu thought back on it, she still felt disgusted. It was even more disgusting than her method of revenge by spitting.
"Chang An, did you have a falling out with Eunuch Chang?"
Helian Yu didn't think of this happening in the book, but then he thought, the book revolves around a time-traveling female protagonist, and Chang An is not the protagonist, so it is impossible for him to cover everything.
"Yes. My mother was seriously ill and needed money urgently, so she stole a piece of porcelain from my godfather. He got angry and kicked me out." Chang An pleaded in his eyes, "I have nowhere to go."
"Ah?" Helian Yu's eyes were dazed. "Your mother is seriously ill and needs money urgently. Why don't you tell your godfather directly? Could it be that Eunuch Chang is particularly stingy?"
Chang An's throat felt dry and he nodded with difficulty: "Yes."
I thought to myself: Godfather, I am an unfilial son. I have tarnished your reputation once, but I won’t do it again.
