Chapter 205 Pingkang Palace

Outside the palace, when Shangguan Jing was planning ahead for the future government affairs, Xiao Jingheng in the palace was living a life that was not much different from that in the Huaiyang Palace.Anyway, they are squatting in the yard like a prison and can't go out. Anyway, they are always guarding against being killed.

For ten days, Xiao Jingheng has not seen the emperor, nor the empress dowager.When he was the "dumb" son of King Huaiyang before, the emperor and the empress dowager liked him very much, especially liked him singing and dancing with Shangguan Jing as if telling jokes, but now his status has changed. In theory, The relationship with the emperor is getting closer, but he was rejected by guards from afar, and on the contrary, he looked more like an outsider than before.

But Xiao Jingheng accepted this well, because he regarded himself as an outsider.For him, the imperial palace has never been a good place, if it is not a last resort, he would like to stay far away.Together with Shangguanjing, go to the south and find a good place with a warm climate to settle down.

Because his sister Jing is most afraid of the cold.The grand and gloomy palace in front of him is actually not suitable for the sunny sister Jing.

But who knows?Standing in the courtyard of Pingkang Palace, Xiao Jingheng looked up at the clear and cloudless sky, just like when he was in the remote backyard of Huaiyang Palace.

In the past, the courtyard of Huaiyang Prince's Mansion was also desolate and cold, and it was not suitable for Sister Jing at all.But she went, and the yard soon became warm and lively as if it was illuminated by the sun.

After Sister Jing became the lord of the Sixth Palace, the palace would definitely no longer look like the one in front of her eyes. Xiao Jingheng was very confident about this.

So, let him work harder!Xiao Jingheng smiled in a good mood, looking at the closed gate of Pingkang Palace.He worked harder, trying to get Sister Jing to sit on the queen's position as soon as possible, and let her freely transform these huge palaces that are connected into pieces into what she likes!
Theoretically speaking, Xiao Jingheng's treatment in the palace is actually much better than when he lived alone in Huaiyang Palace.At least he is very important to the emperor now, so even if the emperor doesn't like him, he won't let him die easily.

For example, after Xiao Jingheng's judgment, at least he is in Pingkang Palace, so he can eat and drink at ease.No one had ever told him so clearly, but Xiao Jingheng observed that Qi Zhengrong personally brought over his three meals a day.

Moreover, Qi Zhengrong would never randomly hand over the food boxes of the Imperial Dining Room to any of the eunuchs who were assigned as errands in Pingkang Palace, even if these eunuchs were all chosen by him himself.

Qi Zhengrong is a person close to the emperor and the chief internal supervisor in the palace. From his rank of fourth rank, of course he would not come to serve Xiao Jingheng for dinner.

But he always led people into the door, stared at the inner eunuch beside him, put the food box on the table, and watched the people put the food and bowls and chopsticks in the food box in front of Xiao Jingheng one by one. Turn around and leave without delay.

On the first three days of the prince’s funeral, the Hegong plain clothes, the eunuchs of Pingkang Palace all changed into plain white robes, the concubines also changed into plain dresses, and even the empress dowager wore little A royal blue brocade robe.

Only Xiao Jingheng, dressed in a crimson brocade robe, was in stark contrast to a group of white-robed eunuchs in Pingkang Palace.It's not that he didn't want to show respect for the funeral, the key point is that he brought into the palace only two clothes, none of which were plain.

Anyway, no one thought of making plain clothes for him, so he couldn't borrow the eunuch's clothes to wear them, could he?So Xiao Jingheng had no choice but to be embarrassed, and tied his duck-egg blue belt on the outside as a show of courtesy, this is the closest he has to white clothing.

Qi Zhengrong, who was dressed in plain clothes and delivered the meal, of course noticed his strange attire, but he still didn't say anything, as if he didn't see it, as usual, set the meal and left.

In the past few days of the prince's funeral, the emperor was in the Qiyuan Hall. As the emperor's personal eunuch, Qi Zhengrong should be extremely busy, but he still came to deliver meals in person three times a day, never missing anything.

Xiao Jingheng also discovered that a fixed young inner supervisor was always in charge of his daily tea, and no one changed shifts with him.People are not made of iron, so naturally they need to rest, so Xiao Jingheng can't drink hot tea anytime and anywhere like he was at home with Chen Nanny and Yingxia serving him. He has time for tea and water, The eunuch who made tea was on duty. He had water to drink. At night, he could only get a pot of pre-boiled tea and put it next to his bed. He didn't have hot water if he wanted to drink it.

Xiao Jingheng quickly adapted to such a life.Not only was he not dissatisfied, but he found the eunuch making tea very interesting.The inner eunuch must have received strict instructions from Qi Zhengrong, so he was so careful that he was in danger.

Even when he was not on duty, he had to put away Xiao Jingheng's tea leaves, teapots and tea bowls and carry them away to feel at ease. The only teapot left for Xiao Jingheng was always placed near the inner side of the bed, as if he wanted to hide it .

Xiao Jingheng lived in Pingkang Palace like this for a few days.He was too quiet, so quiet that he didn't say a word all day, and he never took the initiative to ask the servants for requests, and he did many things by himself.When the washing water is brought to him, he will wash it, and he will not need it without him.

He combed his hair, changed his clothes, and the inner eunuch took them away to be washed, but he didn't ask, he just changed when he saw some freshly washed clothes beside the bed, and it didn't matter if he didn't change them.

He didn't speak, and the inner eunuchs would not take the initiative to talk to him. Although these people were hardworking and conscientious in their errands, when they saw Xiao Jingheng, they never moved forward, and they were all silent like dummy.

The inner eunuchs quickly figured out Xiao Jingheng's life pattern, he always got up early in the morning, and then he would practice martial arts in the yard until Qi Zhengrong personally brought someone to deliver breakfast.

Xiao Jingheng is very considerate and never delays Qi Zhengrong's time, so he always eats breakfast directly covered in sweat, and then takes a bath and changes clothes, and then or flips through the few books on the Pingkang Palace bookshelf by himself , or just take a look at the fish raised in the fish tank in the yard. It’s so boring all morning.

Not talking, not doing anything, being so boring every day, how can this person hold his breath?The inner eunuchs felt that Xiao Jingheng was really a weirdo.

The strange person Xiao Jingheng moved to Pingkang Palace more than ten days before he spoke for the first time on his own initiative, and the person he struck up a conversation with first was none other than the young eunuch in charge of tea.

"What's your name?" Xiao Jingheng asked suddenly.

"Return to your son." The inner eunuch seemed to have never expected Xiao Jingheng to speak suddenly, and was startled: "Everyone in the palace is called slave Xiaoxi."

 ——Here is the dividing line of the small life in the palace——
  Xiao Hengheng, in fact, life is going well recently, the eunuch Qi is afraid of being jointly and severally responsible, so he is quite cautious.

  Even more cautious was the little eunuch in charge of the tea, who was almost paranoid.
