I was a queen in ancient times, no, a maid!

After Cheng Yu was called to the East Courtyard by Wanxiang, she realized that it was not the prince who asked her to come, but Wanxiang who called her there privately.

The doctor invited from outside has arrived and is diagnosing the prince in the house.

Wanxiang saw Fucui was also outside, so she didn't dare to go in.

Fu Cui glanced at Wanxiang.

"Did you call her here?"

Wanxiang took a step forward and walked in front of Fucui.

"What else can we do? It's good that the prince doesn't lose his temper. If he does, you and I will definitely suffer. And this breakfast was indeed made by Cheng Yu, and she is not a member of the palace now."

Even if she was beaten and scolded, she didn't dare go back and tell the older girl.

It turned out that Cheng Yu was called over by them to take their place and be scolded.

After standing outside the door for a full quarter of an hour, the door of the wing room was opened and Wanxiang and Fucui were called in. The door was open, and Cheng Yu, who was standing outside the door, also heard what the doctor said.

"… Boil three bowls of water into one bowl of medicine and give it to the prince. The prince should eat a light diet recently and it is best not to eat any meat."

Wanxiang glanced at Cheng Yu.

Cheng Yu clutched the handkerchief in his hand and dared not say anything more.

After a pause, she looked at the doctor and asked softly, "Doctor, I am the cook who has been cooking for the prince these days. Can the prince not eat any meat at all?"

"It's best not to eat it yet, especially when taking soup medicine."

As for the reason, the doctor was very tight-lipped and didn't say anything at all.

Wanxiang followed the doctor to get medicine. The prince's affairs were a big deal to this personal maid.

Fu Cui went into the house, and soon came out and called Cheng Yu in.

"The prince asked you to enter the house."

Seeing that Fu Cui didn't follow, she was the one calling out.

Cheng Yu naturally wanted to explain it clearly. The Prince vomited blood after eating the food she cooked, and she was the primary suspect of the poisoning. Now she could explain it to the Prince alone. She had to take this opportunity.

Walked in quickly.

Looking at Zhao Shiyan who was sitting on the bed instead of lying down.

Cheng Yu immediately explained, "My Lord, please be discerning. I am definitely not the one who poisoned you. I belong to the eldest lady, and she is your biological sister. You two are the closest to each other in this palace. If I had the intention to murder you, the eldest lady would not have been able to fail to notice."

"Besides, I have no grudge against you, why would I poison you?"

Cheng Yu dared not not explain.

Her life is in the hands of the prince.

If the prince could not distinguish right from wrong and really killed her in a rage, I think even if the lady knew about it, she would just sigh and would not create a rift between her and the prince because of her.

After all, a maid's life is cheap.

Zhao Shiyan looked at Cheng Yu, whose face was red with anxiety, and said calmly: "You are not the one who poisoned me. You are not wrong. On the contrary, I will reward you."

"What do you want..."

Cheng Yu's mood at this moment was like a roller coaster, up and down.

Wait, let her stroke it.

The prince vomited blood after eating the breakfast she made.

She was called over by Wanxiang and thought she was being questioned.

But now she stood in front of the prince, and instead of blaming her, he wanted to reward her.

She couldn't refuse this reward, otherwise, it would seem that she was humble and cowardly.

But she didn't understand why the prince gave her a reward.

"My Lord, may I ask you, why did you give me a reward?"

Zhao Shiyan: "Your cooking really suits my taste. Why, you don't want it?"

"Thank you very much for the reward, Master."

At the beginning, he asked why the reward was given, and at the end he just said thank you for the reward, Your Highness.

The speed of this change was so fast that even Zhao Shiyan was a little surprised.

The idea of ​​rewarding was not a coincidence on Zhao Shiyan's part. He came up with the idea after eating the food prepared by Cheng Yu.

She put a lot of care into her cooking, and every dish she made tasted incredibly good, a level above any other food he had ever eaten.

It has to be said that Zhao Shiyan really likes the food cooked by Cheng Yu.

As a result, I began to like her more.

"what do you want?"

Zhao Shiyan asked.

Cheng Yu was really afraid that Zhao Shiyan would reward him with some valuable things. Firstly, valuable items, such as jewelry, would be suspected of the master favoring the servants, especially now that the master was a man.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Wanxiang and Fucui were planning on becoming the prince's concubines in the future.

They were somewhat hostile towards anyone who rashly appeared in front of the prince.

There is no need to create enemies for yourself in a short period of time, especially two at once.

Cheng Yu said bluntly that he wanted a reward.

Zhao Shiyan did not expect that Cheng Yu would ask for money so directly. He thought Cheng Yu would say anything.

When Cheng Yu came out of the prince's room, he was called aside by Fu Cui.

"Yu'er, did the prince embarrass you in any way?"

Cheng Yu thought to himself, the prince asked me what reward I want, is this considered a difficulty?

Her silence made Fu Cui think that the prince had scolded her.

Then he said:

"Don't be afraid. The prince just said a few words to you, which is not a big deal. Go back and have a rest. I'll ask Mother Fang to prepare lunch at noon."

Cheng Yu didn't expect that he could get half a day off.

She nodded and said okay.

He looks really aggrieved.

Of course Fu Cui also breathed a sigh of relief. Since the prince had attacked Cheng Yu, he naturally would not attack them again.

Cheng Yu felt relieved that she didn't have to prepare lunch for the prince in the morning. As for the reward that the prince mentioned, she didn't dare to even think about it whether he would give it to her or not.

If someone gives it to us, we will take it.

Don't get angry or throw a tantrum if you don't give it to me.

Cheng Yu has been working in the big kitchen these days. Occasionally, she would be asked to go there to deliver meals to the prince. She took the opportunity to find out about her brother.

My brother Cheng Bin raises horses for the prince in the backyard.

She had inquired around and found out that there were five or six men in the backyard who were raising horses for the prince, and they were all men. It would be inappropriate for her to go directly to the backyard to find her brother.

If a young woman rashly went to the stable in the backyard and was targeted by someone with ulterior motives, it would be difficult for her to resist.

Cheng Yu accidentally found out that the brother of Heiya, the maid who was in charge of cooking in the big kitchen, also worked in the prince's stable. Later, she cooked a few special meals and specially gave some to Heiya. In the past few days, she had a good relationship with Heiya.

Heiya is just a little darker, tall, chubby, and very strong.

He is a sincere person.

After Cheng Yu fed her for a few days, Heiya already regarded Cheng Yu as her best friend.

Knowing that Cheng Yu wanted to go to the stable to find her brother, Heiya took the initiative to help call for help.

"Yu'er, what you said, I'll call your brother to come over, you cook me some roujiamo, the meat you cook is delicious, I love it."

Cheng Yu said hurriedly: "No problem."

She didn't want Heiya to go alone, but wanted Heiya to accompany her. However, Heiya went ahead to call people, and she would wait outside the door. She just had to call her brother out.
