Chapter 1

On the day of his 14th birthday, Zhao Sansi almost choked with a mouthful of pork trotters.

The reason was that this day she rarely stole a pork trotter from the imperial kitchen, and trotted all the way to her residence. She hid in the dilapidated yard and was eating vigorously. An old eunuch led a group of eunuchs, and without saying hello, he broke into her broken yard directly.

That's fine, although it was caught off guard, this situation was not the first time. When the unpopular noble sister of the cold palace opposite, she liked to bring a group of eunuchs to find her when she was not sent to the marriage. She was scared too much, so it was not surprising that she was no longer surprised. The point was that when the group broke in, they saluted her, and they still bowed to her.

"Slaves meet the second prince."

Zhao Sansi, who was born as a prince but never grew up as a prince, was immediately shocked. He was so scared that the fat meat on a large pig's trotter that had just bitten into her mouth slid into her throat with a "gurgle".

Then, it stuck...it was stuck. Yes, it was the kind of stuck that could not get up or down.

Anyway, it's very deadly.

Fortunately, the old eunuch Li Zhongxian, who was in charge, had seen strong winds and waves. He immediately handed the whisk in his hand to the little eunuch beside him, walked over, stood behind her, and wrapped her arms around her waist. Without waiting for her to refuse, she felt a pain in her abdomen, and then the big fat bite ran out of her throat obediently and intact, and rolled to the feet of the old eunuch with great legs.

Zhao Sansi coughed up tears in discomfort, but even so, her eyes never left the big fat meat rolling in dust under the old eunuch's feet. She felt distressed and wanted to cry. She hadn't stole such delicious pig's trotters from the imperial kitchen for a long time. Every bite of meat was her life.

"Just suddenly happened just now, I hope the second prince will understand what happened when I offended you." Li Zhongxian knelt down and saluted, saying that he meant apologizing, but his expression on his face was more respectful and not enough apologized.

Zhao Sansi, who had never received such a great gift from the palace since his mother died, could not stand such a scene? He wiped his tears and looked at a loss. After holding it in for a long time, he hesitated to the person: "I...I don't blame you, you...you get up."

"The second prince is kind, I thank the second prince for not blaming you for your kindness." Li Zhongxian stood up quickly, and then he had time to look at someone's life. Of course, those who are slaves cannot look at the master directly. Even if they have to look at him directly, they have to remain silent.

Zhao Sansi nodded absent-mindedly. She was still holding pig's trotters in her hand, and she was so hungry when she smelled the smell. Although her mother was unreliable, she knew that she could not chew the pig's trotters in front of such a little eunuch. She could only pray in her heart that these people would leave quickly.

Li Zhongxian didn't know what she was thinking, and every time he looked at someone, he frowned, especially when he noticed the black sauce on her lips, his forehead, which was already covered with Sichuan patterns, was so wrinkled that it could kill a fly. This little thing with yellow skin and skinny face didn't look like someone who could take on the heavy responsibility of a king of a country.

I think he served three generations of kings, and no one is a heroic and extraordinary person. Look at the one in front of him, except for his iconic big thick eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, like the king in front of him, there is no other part of the courage of a royal family.

Zhao Sansi grew up in this cold palace since she was a child. Her greatest ability is to observe his expressions. Although the old eunuch in front of her didn't say anything, she obviously felt the disgust emitted from him. She looked at the pig's hooves that had not been eaten yet...

I stole a chicken on my birthday last year, but was discovered by a handsome eunuch. I was forced to see someone who had a share and wanted to split a chicken leg. I stole a small bucket of milk on my birthday last year and met the maid who was said to be her favorite concubine, Concubine Xi, who was misunderstood by her emperor brother, who gave Concubine Xi milk to bathe, and intercepted the things she had worked hard to steal...

She thought that no one had interrupted this year, and she should have celebrated her birthday well...

Zhao Sansi pursed his lips, and was about to go out and confess his lenient words, and then vowed not to steal things in the imperial kitchen, the old eunuch opposite finally withdrew his eyes from looking at the broken yard and spoke quietly, "I have been here for half a day, why haven't I seen the person who serves you?"

Zhao Sansi was stunned for a moment, "Now I am the only one in the Cedar Palace."

Now it was Li Zhongxian's turn to be stunned. After a long time of surprise, he said with a look of surprise: "Are you a nanny who takes care of you?"

When Concubine Yao was not favored, she loved to commit suicide. She was sent to the Cedar Palace by the late emperor with a big belly. This palace was not a cold palace, but the place was small and slightly more like a cold palace. Although the late emperor did not care about Concubine Yao's life or death, when she heard that she gave birth to a prince, she still wanted to send nanny and two palace maids to take care of her and rewarded many treasures. However, Concubine Yao was really good and was too enthusiastic. The late emperor despised her and also despised this prince. When he remembered it during the first three years, he would send people to deliver some things, but he would not mention it again in the future.

Later, for some reason, this Concubine Yao was also content with her own self-righteousness and did not act like a demon.

However, the late emperor did not look down on her a little bit. Instead, she did not look for a sense of existence and could not remember this person in her heart. When the late emperor went, no one remembered the mother and son. When the palace servants sent the news that the Yao concubine of Cedar Palace had been sent to the Cedar Palace a few years ago, it happened that the new emperor ascended the throne, and it was just when internal and external troubles. The funeral of this Yao concubine was also hastily done. As for this unpopular prince, no one mentioned it, and no one could remember it.

However, even so, the mother and son are the lords of the same palace, and there is no reason not to even serve anyone around.

"After the mother's absence, the palace maids said that they were assigned new errands and all left. The nanny also passed away the winter of the previous year, so I was the only one left in the Cedar Palace." Zhao Sansi didn't think there was anything to be surprised at all. Her mother said that in this deep palace, the child who was not caring for her father to live well is God's greatest gift.

Maybe he is old and his heart will be softer. Li Zhongxian looked at her like this and felt sad. He sighed, took out a veil from his arms, walked over and wiped the sauce on her lips, "Your Highness will not live like this again in the future. This time the emperor will send an old slave to invite you."

Zhao Sansi looked at the pig's trotter in his hand, "Does the emperor brother know that I steal things from the imperial kitchen and want to punish me?"

"..." A prince fell to stealing the imperial kitchen! This was ridiculous! But looking at the man in front of him, the old prince's uniform that obviously did not fit well, it was obviously the clothes from a few years ago... Li Zhongxian opened his mouth for a long time and didn't know what to say. Looking at the nervous little prince, he lowered his eyes and sighed, "I will take you to see the emperor first, and you will know it when you arrive."

Zhao Sansi was a little reluctant to part with the pig's trotters, but she definitely dared not refuse to obey the orders of her brother. After a long time of confusion, she hesitated and said: "Then... OK."

Perhaps seeing her thoughts, Li Zhongxian took the pig's trotters from her hand and wiped her hands with a veil. "Don't worry, when you have seen the emperor, I have told the imperial kitchen that you can do whatever you want."

Zhao Sansi's eyes lit up. As long as there is food, "Then, let's go."

Everyone in the palace said that the palace was so big, either shining or magnificent, but Zhao Sansi never felt that way, because the Cedar Palace, which she had lived for more than ten years, was apart from the rusty door locks and the broken borer beams.

Until she was sitting in the sedan chair and was carried through alleys after alleys, looking at the increasingly golden plaques, she finally believed that her home was very large, and other places except her residence were colorful.

I don’t know how long it took to leave, but the sedan chair finally stopped outside a palace gate. She followed the old eunuch, walked through one door after another, and was taken into a room full of fragrant smell.

After all, I was curious. There were not so many rules in the Cedar Palace where no one came.

Therefore, although Zhao Sansi was nervous, his eyes were still curiously looking around. As soon as he looked up, the first thing that caught his eye was a woman. The woman was wearing a peach-red palace outfit, surrounded by bead hairpins, and was sitting sideways on a soft couch next to the big bed, supporting her head with one hand and napping. From her perspective, she could only see a side face, but she could vaguely see that she was a beauty.

She had some impression of such a palace outfit, and her mother also had it, but it was far less beautiful than the one in front of the woman. Although she could not think that her mother was ugly, she had to admit that even if her mother wore such a palace outfit, she was not as beautiful as the one in front of her.

Zhao Sansi couldn't help but look at the beautiful ones, whether they were people or things. She couldn't help but look at them a few more times until a cough sounded. She then stopped her gaze in a hurry and subconsciously looked at the source of the sound. Looking at the man who was being held up by the old eunuch, Zhao Sansi was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly bowed and bowed, "I... I have seen the emperor brother."

The person on the bed coughed so much that the woman who was dozing beside him seemed to be unaffected at all. It was not until he heard Zhao Sansi's voice that he lazily lifted his eyelids and looked at her. His expression was slightly stunned at first, then he naturally closed his eyes, turned his head and put his hand in the palace maid next to him. He was very kind of demeanor, and then blessed Zhao Sansi, "I have seen His Highness the Second Prince."

When Zhao Sansi looked at him, he glanced quickly and moved away, and quickly bowed his hand. However, when he was at his mouth, he didn't know what to call him, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The man on the bed finally recovered from his cough and waved his hand at her, "No need to be polite. You usually don't know much. This is Concubine Xi. You can call Concubine Xi."

"San Si meets Concubine Xi."
