Chapter 393 Two Drunk People
"Cai Rui, why weren't you waiting here just now? Where did you go?"
When A Jin approached the yard with a tray in his hand, he saw Cai Rui standing straighter than a pillar.
Cai Rui, startled, smiled and begged for mercy, "Guard Jin, I accidentally drank a few sips of cold air, and I had to run two extra trips... Please be merciful and forgive me this time."
Ah Jin swept his sharp eyes over her and questioned her harshly.
"Did you enter the courtyard without permission while I was away? Or did anyone else enter?"
Cai Rui shook her head like a rattle, almost pointing to the sky and swearing that no one had entered the yard.
Once the master's affairs were involved, the usually affable Ah Jin instantly changed his expression and gave a cold warning.
"You better stay outside and guard. If I find you leaving your post again, go to Aunt Fangyun and receive your punishment."
"Guard Jin, I promise I will never make the same mistake again. Please don't tell Aunt Fangyun about this."
When Cai Rui heard the name, she couldn't help but tremble.
The village suffered from a drought that year and there was no harvest.
Aunt Fangyun exchanged six bags of wheat bran for twelve girls, but in the end she was the only one who survived.
Cai Rui shed many tears in private for her fellow villagers who died young, and because she was a tearful person, she was ostracized by others.
After being bullied once, she got lost and accidentally entered Aunt Fangyun's yard, where she saw an extremely gorgeous small garden.
The young girl has a natural yearning for beauty, and she couldn't help but approach the fiery red flowers.
Just as she was about to reach out to pick the fruit, her feet touched something.
Cai Rui looked down and saw that she had not been able to eat for three days and had a high fever.
When the housekeeper found out, she thought she was just too sad to bear the successive departures of her fellow villagers. She reported it to Fangyun and called a doctor for her.
From then on, Cai Rui was very respectful to the smiling Fang Yun, but she was always thinking about how to escape from her.
Later, she learned from the nanny who had benefited from her that Qingliangtai needed a maid to serve. Cai Rui used up all the money she had saved from doing show work for several years and successfully got to be with Madam Yun.
Cai Rui's gaze drifted into the courtyard as the gate opened, and she silently said in her heart: Madam Yun must do her best.
She slept on the same bed with the prince. If she could please the prince, she would have the chance to be kept by his side, and she could also stay away from Fang Yun, who was a hypocrite.
Fangyun lived in a farm twenty miles away from Qingliangtai and often came to pay her respects to the prince.
Cai Rui had naively thought about exposing Fang Yun’s evil deeds before, but her indenture contract was always in Fang Yun’s hands.
The more she saw, the more she realized that it was a taboo for a servant to inform on her master, and it was uncertain whether she could keep her life at that time.
"Cai Rui, the masters have gone to bed, come in and clean up the main room!"
A Jin's low voice brought Cai Rui back to reality from her memories.
She quickly agreed in a low voice, tiptoed into the main room, and put the food on the table into the tray one by one without looking around.
"Guard Jin, the main room has been tidied. Do you have any other instructions?"
"This meal has barely been touched. You can take it and divide it up."
A Jin, in a good mood, straightened his clothes and told her to come back on duty in half an hour.
"Thank you very much for the reward from Guard Jin."
Cai Rui praised the person highly, and nice words came out of her mouth like a spring.
In less than a quarter of an hour, she appeared at the kitchen door with a smile on her face.
"The master was so kind that he gave me the remaining food as a reward. Cai Rui, remembering everyone's care for me, brought it here to share with everyone."
The young men who stayed in the kitchen cheered happily when they heard this.
"Thank you, Sister Cairui, for thinking of us."
"Sister Cairui, it's just a small favor, there's no need to take it to heart."
"Sister Cairui, you are so kind."
"Sister Cairui..."
A simple-minded young man with a poor speaking ability stepped forward, took the large tray from Cai Rui's hand, and placed it on the stove.
The honest young man swallowed his saliva at the temptation of the meat that was almost untouched on his chopsticks. He looked at the person behind him in confusion.
"Sister Cairui, this meal looks like it hasn't been touched, but is the master dissatisfied with the kitchen?"
"Acai, don't worry. The two masters are in high spirits today and have had a few extra drinks. They haven't had time to eat."
Cai Rui explained with a smile amid everyone's astonishment.
"While Guard Jin is serving his masters, go and call Master Fatty over so we can all get some good food to last through the winter."
"Sister Cairui, I'll go right away."
The honest Acai ran away with a few steps, and the others hurriedly lit the fire to heat up the food.
The aroma of meat filled the air in the kitchen. Cai Rui quickly filled her stomach and hurried out, holding two large coarse pottery bowls placed together.
"Acai, Sister Cairui is Madam Yun's servant, and she's not something we kitchen workers can dream of. Don't get caught up in it, kid."
"Big Head, what are you talking about? I just..."
"Acai, the brothers all saw you staring at Cairui..."
The honest young man's face turned red after being teased by several people, and he didn't even dare to pick up a single piece of meat or vegetable on the table with his chopsticks.
The fat master couldn't stand it anymore and stopped the people who were making a fuss.
"The prince is here at Qingliangtai, so you all should restrain yourself."
Acai looked at the fat master gratefully and took the initiative to take on the job of pouring out the slop.
The night was deep, and Zhen Huan opened her hazy eyes in the warmth. The warm chest in front of her frightened her so much that she stepped back.
She looked up suddenly and met a pair of smiling eyes.
"Huan'er, did you get enough sleep?"
"Your Majesty, you...I...we..."
Unlike last time when both of them were wearing pajamas, this time Zhen Huan only wore a thin light pink albizzia flower bellyband.
She was so embarrassed that she couldn't speak for a moment.
After Zhen Huan's memory lingered on Prince Guo's heartfelt words, she took the initiative to toast again and drank one glass after another.
As for what happened afterwards, she had no memory at all.
Now, there are only her and Prince Guo on the bed, and the clothes on them...
As she moved, cool breeze blew into the quilt. Zhen Huan, with a flushed face, wrapped herself in the quilt in a hurry and rolled into the bed.
"Huan'er, you rolled up the quilt, are you trying to freeze your husband to death?"
Prince Guo also came over, stretched out his long arms, and blocked the beauty wrapped in the quilt against the wall.
"Huan'er, can you bear to see me without a blanket?"
Zhen Huan was forced into a dilemma by Prince Guo's shameless words and could only plead in a low voice.
"Your Majesty, Mo Chou..."
"Huan'er, I don't like hearing these two words. Please change your words."
The skin on Zhen Huan's shoulders exposed outside the dark green brocade quilt was as delicate as cream, emitting a faint pink sheen, making people want to touch it.
Prince Guo's throat moved, and his hand that was supporting the wall turned, inadvertently brushing against Zhen Huan's shoulder.
The warm and delicate touch made him lower his head involuntarily.
