Buddhist Miracle Doctor: The Dark Prince, Can't Get Rid of Him

Chapter 36: What is the meaning of "extreme joy leads to sorrow"

I don’t know if Xizhu’s skills in asking for ingredients are good enough, but no matter what she wants, it is in the basket that Tieniu carries.

Because the prince had deliberately instructed, after Qian Xinru came that time, no one else came again.

Even the prince himself has never shown up.

The three people in the yard cooked three meals a day in different ways. The three of them had clear division of labor, cooking, washing vegetables, and making fire, and they were very busy and happy.

In the first few days, the three of them were quite cautious, guarding against the prince's sudden visit.

However, no one came to disturb them afterwards. Except for the two people at the gate, the two people who changed shifts at night, and Tie Niu who delivered the food, the people in the Marquis's mansion seemed to have forgotten the three people from Wenxin Garden.

The three of them did not feel miserable; on the contrary, they lived a very happy life.

The difference is that Mu Yingbao is looking forward to the opportunity to leave the Marquis' Mansion every day. She doesn't want to stay here for the rest of her life.

Those two are different. They think it would be great if they could live like this until they grow old.

Once, when the three of them were joking in the room, Dongzhu said this, and Mu Yingbao asked her with a smile, "Don't you miss that handsome and heroic prince anymore?"

She thought the two girls would blush, but unexpectedly they said frankly that they still wanted to live their current life.

That day, the three girls of similar age talked a lot. Mu Yingbao also realized that in the eyes of other people in the Marquis' Mansion, Dongzhu and the other four would sooner or later be the ones to warm the prince's bed.

The other maids in the mansion were jealous, but they didn't know that among the four of them, only Nanzhu had that idea. The other three felt that this was their fate and they had no choice. The prince was a rare talent, and being his woman was the dream of many women.

However, these three are smart. They know that even if they become the prince's women, it is not as if a sparrow will turn into a phoenix by flying to a tree.

The status of a servant is here, a fact that can never be changed in a lifetime. In this backyard with high walls, the water between women is very deep. If you are not careful, you will become a victim of the competition for favor among women.

If the mistress is strong, you can forget about getting pregnant with the prince's child. Even if you are lucky enough to get pregnant, you may lose the child due to some small accident one day. If you are lucky enough, you may never be qualified to be a mother in your lifetime.

With the prince's favor came all kinds of conspiracies and calculations.

Mu Yingbao asked Xizhu and Dongzhu, since they knew this, why didn’t they persuade Nanzhu?

The two said that Nanzhu had told her three people, and she knew all of this, but she didn't care. As long as the prince gave her such an opportunity, she would rather be a moth flying into the fire.

Mu Yingbao was also deeply moved after hearing this. Although from what they said, Nanzhu was in unrequited love, Mu Yingbao still admired her persistence in love.

Because, from Xizhu's words, Nanzhu's love for the prince is just that kind of pure admiration, and she doesn't care about status.

Mu Yingbao didn't think Nanzhu was stupid, nor did she doubt whether her love was vain. She felt that no matter in modern times or in ancient times, no matter how complicated people's hearts were, at least there should be a sunny side in her heart, and she should believe that there is still pure love in this world.

Mu Yingbao felt helpless about Dongzhu, Xizhu and Beizhu. They had already accepted their fate. If the prince accepted them, they would be his women. If not, they would still be his servants.

After this period of contact, Mu Yingbao's feelings for these two have deepened, and he prepares delicious food for them without reservation.

Happy days always pass quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Mu Yingbao and Liangzhu have been in Wenxin Garden for a whole month.

Mu Yingbao suggested celebrating by preparing a table of food and holding a full-moon banquet. As long as the two of them had something to eat, it would be fine, so of course they raised their hands in agreement.

The breakfast was simple, diced pickled meat and eggs fried with cold rice from the previous night, with a bowl of bone soup. For lunch, I just fried two dishes to make do.

After noon, Mu Yingbao started working in the kitchen. There were two dishes to be eaten in the evening that needed to be pickled and prepared in advance.

Dongzhu was washing clothes in the yard, while Xizhu was sewing soles for Mu Yingbao, and her eyes would occasionally drift toward the gate. When Mu Yingbao came out, she saw it, and the scene was just like the village women standing guard outside the gate for the cadres' meeting in the war movies.

Fortunately, the kitchen was far from the courtyard gate, so the smell could not reach that far. The two could only see smoke coming out of the kitchen chimney, and had no idea what the three people were doing or eating. Otherwise, if they had smelled the smell, the secret of the kitchen would have been exposed long ago, and they would not have been able to stay safe until now.

To be honest, Mu Yingbao had a good impression of the gatekeepers. They were very dedicated. Each of them had a knife on his waist and stood on each side. They worked rain or shine and took turns to eat. Moreover, they never stepped into the courtyard gate.

Of course, she wasn't clear at night.

At least, there is no need to worry about safety. I eat well during the day, no one comes to cause trouble, and I sleep well at night.

If she could enter and leave the mansion freely and go shopping, she might consider it if it continued like this.

Because we were going to have a big dinner in the evening, dinner was prepared earlier than usual.

In order to avoid arousing suspicion by going back and forth, the three of them ate in the kitchen after the dishes were ready.

Seeing the last dish being served on the plate, Xizhu, who was always more steady than Dongzhu, couldn't help swallowing.

"Girl, this is the chrysanthemum fish. It really looks exactly like it. It smells so good. How can you bear to eat it?" Dongzhu said with her eyes wide open, looking at the last chrysanthemum fish.

"That's easy. You don't have to eat those pieces. Keep them for yourself." Mu Yingbao teased her.

"Okay, I'll keep one piece." Unexpectedly, Dongzhu really planned to do so.

The three of them sat down, Xizhu opened the sealed wine jar and scooped out three bowls of wine.

"Girl, the wine smells good and it's not spoiled. How come you are so amazing that you can even make wine?" Dongzhu said admiringly again.

"This isn't brewed by me, but it's my combination. Come on, let's celebrate the full month of our little life together in this yard. Let's drink." Mu Yingbao was sure that the honey wine was ready after looking at the color of the wine bowl, and he picked up the bowl and greeted people.

After a month of getting along, the three of them have become very familiar with each other.

In fact, if they were not afraid of causing trouble, Dongzhu and her sister would have wanted to bring some of the delicious food made by Mu Yingbao to the two sisters in the Prince's courtyard to have a taste.

The three of them clinked their bowls together and each took a sip. The other two nodded and said it was delicious, and they couldn't wait to pick up the food with their chopsticks.

This morning, I asked Tieniu for a grass carp. Mu Yingbao used the fish meat to make chrysanthemum fish, and stewed the fish head and bones with tofu. I also used shrimp to make golden butterfly shrimp, egg yolk pumpkin, green vegetables, sweet and sour spareribs, cold peanuts, and boiled beef.

There are eight dishes in total, which is not considered a feast for Mu Yingbao. Unfortunately, ancient times were not as advanced as modern times, so there are only a few varieties of vegetables and some seasonings are missing.

However, for Dongzhu and Xizhu, this was more sumptuous than what they ate during the Chinese New Year. However, after entering Wenxin Garden for a month, it seemed like every day was like Chinese New Year. Many of the dishes that Mu Yingbao made were new to them.

"Girl, with your cooking skills, you can be a chef in a big restaurant." Dongzhu's mouth was covered in grease from eating so much.

"Chef? I don't want to work for others. I want to open my own restaurant if I have the chance in the future." Mu Yingbao drank two bowls of honey wine, and her little face turned red.

"Girl, you want to open a restaurant of your own?" Xizhu asked in disbelief.

"Yes, otherwise why would I marry into your mansion for the dowry and suffer humiliation here? Those are the capital for me to carry out my grand ambitions in the future." Mu Yingbao didn't intend to hide it from the two.

I feel so sad, it would be great if these two could be with me, it would be so nice to have reliable helpers!

Oh, so that's what's going on? The two girls finally understood today that this girl had married into the Marquis's mansion enduring humiliation for a better future!

The three of them ate for more than half an hour before the full moon banquet came to an end. They had almost finished all eight dishes, except for the fish head tofu soup, which had only a little bit left in the porcelain bowl.

Just when Dongzhu was about to get up to clean up the dishes, the kitchen door suddenly opened.

The three of them turned their heads to look at the voice, and were frightened when they saw who was coming...
