Chapter 752: This side gets rewarded, and the other side kneels
It is true that Changgui is a servant, but it also depends on whose servant he is.
There is only one servant in Prince Yi's mansion who is trusted by the prince and can serve him personally.
"No gift!"
"No gift!"
When Aunt Qin and Aunt Liu saw Changgui bowing, they both hurriedly raised their hands to support him.
Changgui didn't dare to provoke them, fearing their pillow talk;
They also did not dare to offend Changgui, and they also wanted to please Changgui, but were also afraid of Changgui's gossip.
Changgui is the one who serves the prince closely.
Although he is a servant, if they really offend him, who knows if he will find a chance one day to give them a needle or put eye drops in front of the prince, then they will soon fall out of favor.
The relationship between them is just like the old saying: Using a stick to fight a wolf - both ends are scared!
It is said that it is easy to see the King of Hell but difficult to deal with little ghosts. This is the truth.
"Changgui, is the prince still busy?"
Aunt Liu spoke first with a smile.
"I heard that the prince has returned home, but I don't know...at this time of day, has the prince had lunch?
I made some food and sent it to the prince!"
As Aunt Liu spoke, she turned around, took the big box from the maid, and handed it to Changgui personally. She also glanced at the big box, and the meaning in her eyes was self-evident - there are benefits for you in the big box!
"Yes, that's right. It's the same for me!"
Aunt Qin also stepped forward and said, "I was also worried that Your Majesty didn't have a good lunch, so I hurriedly made a few of my specialty dishes and sent them to Your Majesty.
It’s just right for you to use now, Your Majesty. It will be cold in a while!”
As Aunt Qin spoke, she handed over the big briefcase and glanced at the briefcase with a charming look.
This hint is something Changgui understands, and it clearly means that there are benefits for you in the big box as well!
Changgui was holding a large food box in one hand, feeling delighted. It seemed that... there was money coming into his little piggy bank again!
To be a servant in this palace, the monthly salary you receive is actually not much.
Their main way of making money, apart from receiving rewards for running errands for their master, is to get rewards from currying favor with the masters in the mansion. All these added up are much more than their monthly salary!
Since Changgui gets benefits, he will naturally be in a good mood towards others.
Then, Changgui bowed to Aunt Qin and Aunt Liu and said, "You two aunts, please go back first!
I will definitely convey your thoughts to the prince, so please rest assured, my two aunts!"
"Okay, time to work!"
Aunt Qin and Aunt Liu thanked him and looked eagerly at the study hidden by bamboo trees in the distance of the courtyard. Then they reluctantly left with their maids, heading east and west.
Changgui did not take the big box directly to the study, but went to the small house where he lived not far away.
After entering, Changgui closed the door first, then opened the lid of the large box...
He was right. In addition to two small plates of food, there was a small purse on each side of the first layer of the large box.
Changgui picked it up and looked at it...
A purse filled with a few golden pumpkin seeds;
There were a few silver ingots in a purse.
Well, that's right. Just for these golden melon seeds and silver ingots, Master Changgui will take the trouble to deliver these food to you!
Changgui was very proud.
Although she was a servant beside the prince, these concubines slept in the prince's bed.
But don't these concubines in the prince's bed still have to please a servant like me?
Changgui put the two purses into his silver box and locked it, then hid the box again. Then he carried the two large briefcases out of the door and went to the prince's study.
Arriving at the door, Changgui put down the briefcase and knocked twice gently... He listened carefully but did not hear any response from the prince.
Changgui kowtowed twice more and said, "Your Majesty, I am Changgui!"
"Come in!"
Finally, he heard the prince's response from inside. Changgui hurriedly pushed open the door of the study, reached out to pick up the two large boxes, and walked in.
"Your Highness, Aunt Qin and Aunt Liu came to visit you just now. They were worried that you didn't have a good lunch, so they cooked their specialties and sent them to you.
Your Majesty, would you like some?"
Xiao Jingyi lazily glanced at the two large boxes that Changgui had placed on the table, then raised his eyelids to look at Changgui, and said faintly, "How much benefit did you get from running this errand for them?"
Changgui was still waiting to hear the prince's instructions on whether to use the food or not, but unexpectedly, the prince asked him how much benefit he had received to run errands for these concubines.
Changgui was startled, and quickly took two steps back, knelt on the ground, and touched the ground with his head, "Your Majesty, please forgive me!
I dare not hide it from Your Highness... the two concubines did give me some tips, but I... I did not run errands for them just for this little bit of tips!
I will always remember in my heart that I am the prince's servant!
The reason why I brought in the food brought by the two concubines was because I thought... Your Majesty, you have neither breakfast nor lunch today.
I'm worried that Your Majesty will starve to death.
So…so…it just so happened that the concubines brought some food, and I thought…I thought I could ask the prince to have some…
I deserve to die! Please...please punish me, Your Majesty!"
