C57 – Serve Master Well
Yin Xu walked all the way into the Third Prince Mansion, and what entered his vision was a pavilion pillar. The fake mountains and flowing water, even during the late winter, were unexpectedly overflowing with green, displaying a rare scene filled with vitality.
Han Sen led him forward, and saw the admiration in his eyes, laughing: “This courtyard was specially designed by the Emperor, he even picked plants and flowers to resist the cold, and even if it’s the imperial garden, winter would not be able to compare to our courtyard.”
Yin Xu muttered: “What a waste!” It was just a few mediocre flowers and plants. It would be better to just spend more effort and effort on them.
Han Sen smiled and stopped talking.
“Which courtyard does Teng Yu live in? “Why aren’t you here yet?”
Han Sen was already powerless to correct the act of calling him by his name, and replied submissively: “Your Highness is living in the Scenic Garden, we’ll be there after we cross the courtyard. But Your Highness is about to enter the palace, so you should be in the bathing pool right now.”
“It just so happens that this young master wants to take a bath as well. Go ask Little Wu to bring me my clothes.”
“...” Han Sen intentionally placed the person in the other courtyards, but from the looks of it, it seemed as though he wanted to stay in the Scenic Garden? He was really fat!
“Seventh Young Master, Scenic Garden has always been only occupied by His Highness. There are many guestrooms in the mansion, how about this old servant choose a scenic spot for you?”
“There’s no need to trouble yourself. The weather is so cold, so it’s warmer if we squeeze together. I’ll move in when the spring starts.” Yin Xu did not have much interest in the so called scenery, it was just a few flowers with sparse spiritual energy, it did not enter his eyes.
Han Sen thought: You can even find such an excuse! Every guest room in the prince’s mansion had a land dragon built within it. Even if one did not sleep under the blanket, they would not feel the cold. It was unknown whether or not he really knew.
However, this matter was not something that he could decide, and in the end, would depend on Third Prince’s decision.
He brought them to the bathing pool, and separated them by a door he asked: “Your Highness, how about this servant arrange Seventh Young Master’s group at Songtao Pavilion?”
Subtle sounds of water could be heard from inside, and after a moment of silence, Teng Yu replied with a short “Mn” word.
Han Sen heaved a sigh of relief, turned around and politely said to Yin Xu: “Seventh Young Master, Songtao Pavilion is the courtyard closest to Scenic Garden. There is also a large bathing pool inside, please follow me.”
“No rush.” Yin Xu raised his brows, went around him and pushed open the door in front of him.This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com
“Seventh Young Master ...” Han Sen wanted to stop him, but he heard Third Prince’s voice from inside: “Let him in.”
Han Sen took a step back and guarded the door quietly.
After Yin Xu entered, he kicked the door shut off from Han Sen’s gaze. The room was filled with mist, it was warm and moist, and white mist rose from the huge pond in the middle of the room. As for the people in the pond, they were not able to see everything clearly.
He stepped forward, and the first thing he saw was the two thin maids kneeling at the edge of the bath.
Yin Xu squinted his eyes and walked steadily to the side of the pool, looking down at the man who had closed his eyes.
The two maidservants quietly raised their heads to glance at the approaching person, their hands did not stop moving, one washing Teng Yu’s long hair and the other massaging his shoulders and back.
From Yin Xu’s point of view, he could just see the graceful bodies of the two maids, their pointed chins and captivating red lips.
“Didn’t you say that you are in a hurry to enter the palace? Seeing how His Highness is leisurely enjoying himself, it seems like he isn’t in a hurry at all. “
After a while, Teng Yu opened his eyes and looked at Yin Xu lazily. “Come down to wash together?”
Yin Xu laughed inexplicably, “Sure.” He then opened his arms and said to the two maids, “Come and help this young master change his clothes!”
“...” Surprise flashed across the two servants’ faces at the same time. They were first-rate palace maids beside Third Prince, thus, they had the right to be in close proximity to him. However, they had only served this kind of master.
Seeing their hesitation, Yin Xu snorted unhappily.
“Go and serve Master Huo.” Teng Yu smiled and instructed them. Since he had spoken, the two servants naturally had to do it.
The Songtao Pavilion was indeed very close to the Scenic Garden, it was only separated by a wall, and a pruned weirdly shaped pine tree grew in the courtyard, and there weren’t any unnecessary flowers or plants. It was obvious that the man lived there.
When Yin Xu went in, the butler had already packed their luggage, and was anxiously waiting in the room with Wu Sheng. He thought to himself: Young Master is too preoccupied, he just entered the door and impatiently went to find the Third Prince, I wonder if there will be any gossip from the servants.
“Songtao Pavilion has four large rooms and two side rooms. The injured male Zi’an is placed in the west wing. The rest can be arranged by the Seventh Young Master.
Yin Xu was quite satisfied with his living quarters. It was close to the main house so it would be easy for him to climb over the wall, but he still said, “Don’t have girls only if you’re male.”
Yin Xu didn’t really like girls from the mortal world. They were too delicate, feeling like they could break at a touch.
Han Sen thought that he did not like girls, and secretly selected people in his heart. He pondered about which of the older, average looking, loyal and loyal male servants should he have in the mansion, and it would be best if he kept his mouth shut.
Because his master was not around, Yin Xu used his dinner very simply. With a few pieces of pastries and a bowl of soup, the amount required made Steward Han frown and think to himself: If this was a girl, it would definitely be difficult to raise!
“Come on, let’s go for a walk.” Yin Xu stood up and brought his two servants to follow Manager Han as he officially began to view the Third Prince Mansion.
“There are only three princes’ residences on this street, and our Third Prince Mansion is the largest and most exquisite. Even the combined forces of the First Prince’s and Second Prince’s manors aren’t as heavy as our Third Prince Mansion.” Manager Han used his slightly high-pitched voice to give a general overview of the estate.
Yin Xu touched here and there, showing genuine curiosity towards things in the mortal world. Especially since he had never seen or heard of many things here, it was the first time he couldn’t help but be curious.
In the eyes of others, he looked like a bumpkin, even the butler and Wu Sheng was more restrained than him.
“The Emperor really can bear to put his money away.” No wonder everyone thought that the emperor’s most beloved son was Teng Yu. Just the money spent on him was enough to make people jealous, it was most likely that it had given Teng Yu a lot of hatred.
The palace is divided into the front courtyard and the rear courtyard, the front courtyard is the residence of His Highness and the guest guards, the back courtyard is the residence of the concubines, and the front courtyard is also divided into seven different courtyards. Songtao Pavilion is the guest room for the distinguished guests who have come to visit, from the start of the estate until now, no one else has lived here.
“To the Third Prince, other than the emperor, who else could be his” esteemed guest “?”
“Isn’t there one in Seventh Young Master now?” Han Sen laughed with a good temper.
Yin Xu shrugged, his expression did not change, and did not think that it was a great honor, but instead, the butler and Wu Sheng were beaming with joy, seemingly filled with pride.
Han Sen had never been able to figure out this youth’s personality. He might say that he loved vanity, but he would often display disdain towards money and power, saying that he was naive and kind, and his actions completely didn’t match.
“The backyard is simply divided into the east, west, south, and north sides. The people in the backyard are not allowed to step out of the two gates without being summoned, so Seventh Young Master only needs to understand the front courtyard.”
“How many people live in the backyard?” Yin Xu asked with interest. With Teng Yu’s reputation outside, this number should not be small.
The corner of Han Sen’s mouth twitched, and he replied sincerely: “This old servant has not calculated it carefully, there are about seventy to eighty people here, but most of them were sent over by various parties, it can’t even be considered as half a master. You don’t have to mind them.”
Yin Xu stopped in his tracks, turned around suddenly, and looked at him with shining eyes: “Do you think I care?”
Who cares what you ask? Director Han cursed silently and replied, “This old servant means you don’t need to care about the people in the backyard, they won’t have the chance to cause trouble.”
“I believe that. Bring me there, let me see what kind of country’s beauty is contained within.”
“This... The backyard is the woman’s residence, it might be inconvenient for you. “
“Didn’t you say that they aren’t even half masters? You can’t even take a look at this esteemed guest of yours? Or are you afraid that I would do something bad to Teng Yu’s woman? “
“Of course not, it’s just that it’s against the rules.” Han Sen clasped his hands together and thought: You little brat, do you have the heart to do anything?
Yin Xu’s face darkened, “What rule? Who made the rules? Teng Yu told me not to enter the backyard? “
“No, Third Prince didn’t.” Han Sen bent his waist lower.
“Isn’t that good enough, moreover...” I heard that there are more than women in the backyard of Third Prince Mansion, right? Since the women are not willing to see it, then let’s go see the men. “
Han Sen wiped off his sweat, and thought: It’s better to look at women.
