Chapter 206 Intimidation
Young master, this is what these eunuchs call Xiao Jingheng.Qi Zhengrong was really embarrassed by the name of this master for a while.He is the emperor's son, and logically a prince should be called His Highness.But on the surface, this Xiao Jingheng is the direct son of King Huaiyang and Princess Huaiyang, and the emperor has not revealed his identity for a while, so Qi Zhengrong dare not rashly call His Highness Xiao Jingheng.

But... this person's status is really not low.So after struggling for a while, Qi Zhengrong instructed the eunuchs who were assigned to serve in Pingkang Palace to call Xiao Jingheng "Young Master" for the time being, and then discuss the matter of changing the name after the emperor gave instructions.

Of course Xiao Jingheng didn't care what others called him.He nodded to the eunuch who claimed to be Xiaoxi, and asked, "What's your last name?"

"My lord," Xiao Xi replied after hesitating for a while: "The rules in our palace, after entering the palace, the names are decided by the masters. The names of the slaves were given by the master when they first entered the palace. As for the original His first and last name...you have to be Grandpa Qi or Grandpa Zhang in the Queen's Palace to be qualified to mention your surname."

"En." Xiao Jingheng nodded, and did not continue to ask the question of name and surname: "Okay, Xiaoxi, I don't know who is in charge of this Pingkang Palace every day, so I am a little familiar with you, can you bother me?" Tomorrow, report to Director Qi and prepare some stationery for me. If possible, bring me some books. It’s been a long time since I haven’t reviewed and practiced calligraphy. I’m going back to Yushuyuan to study in a few days. Master is afraid It is to be punished."

Xiao Jingheng asked to be polite, but Xiaoxi looked a little embarrassed, he nodded quickly and said: "Slave will send someone to prepare now, don't wait for tomorrow. If you want to buy something in the future, you can just order it directly. I just told Dianzhong Province that for ordinary items, we at Pingkang Palace can just take the sign to withdraw them. But for books... I don’t know what kind of books you want to find. It’s okay if they are ordinary. Go to the Yushulou to find it, and these slaves will not be able to be masters."

"So, I will trouble you." Xiao Jingheng smiled: "You send someone to help me get some pens and inks, and later, I will make a list of books for you, and you can take them for me and ask Director Qi if you can find them. It's better, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Xiao Xi looked at the tea leaves and the tea stove, and didn't dare to take a step away from his fellows, but he quickly found his little friend to help with the errands, and without much effort, he bought a lot of study rooms from the palace. Utensils back.

Several small eunuchs were busy, and soon cleared out a room in the west side hall of Pingkang Palace, and used it as Xiao Jingheng's study.Xiao Jingheng entered the study room, polished the ink himself, and wrote a not-too-long book list. There were only a dozen or so books in total, and they were all very common Confucian classics.

Xiaoxi's little friend quickly ran away with the book list in his mouth, but it was only in the evening, and a dozen or so small internal eunuchs came outside Pingkang Palace, each holding a large stack of books, directly Filled up the empty bookshelf in the west side hall.

These books are dozens of times more than Xiao Jingheng's previous requirements.In addition to the common collection of classics and history, there are also some works on politics by court officials and great Confucians, inscriptions, proverbs, and miscellaneous books on geography, economics, and mathematics, and even a few medical books and astronomical books. The categories are extremely rich.

Xiao Jingheng stood by the door of the west side hall, watching those little eunuchs busily putting books on the bookshelves, looking thoughtful.After a while, he suddenly turned around and waved to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi ran to Xiao Jingheng's side, Xiao Jingheng lowered his voice and gave him a few words.

After listening to Xiao Jingheng's order, Xiaoxi looked extremely surprised, but she still nodded and ran out quickly.

The eunuchs who came temporarily to move the books quickly went back. Xiao Jingheng sat behind the desk, staring at the full bookshelf, neither speaking nor moving.

After a while, Xiaoxi came in with her little friend. The young eunuch looked similar to Xiaoxi's age, and he took the initiative to salute Xiao Jingheng as soon as he entered the door: "Hello, my son, the slave is Quanfu."

"Quan Fu?" Xiao Jingheng seemed to be very curious: "Your name was also given by your master when you entered the palace?"

"Return to your son." Quan Fu nodded immediately: "Master gave it to me, and all of us internal eunuchs follow this rule."

"My lord," Xiao Xi added, "Quan Fu and slave entered the palace around the same time, and they are both masters."

Xiaoxi's tongue is quite sharp, and he explained it clearly in a few words. He and Quanfu entered the palace together. After that, one of them worked in the Shangshe Bureau, and the other worked as a handyman in the vacant Liuxia Pavilion, but they lived together all the time and had a close relationship. Yes, Qi Zhengrong happened to be selected as an errand this time, and the two of them were quite happy.

"So, I'm a good job here?" Xiao Jingheng asked.

Quan Fu didn't dare to answer, Xiao Xi, who served tea in front of Xiao Jingheng all day long, was more courageous, nodded and said: "Returning to the son, we don't have many lives in Pingkang Palace, and you have a very good temper, so it is naturally a good job." .”

"I don't think so." Xiao Jingheng smiled and shook his head: "If I die, what will happen to you?"

He said this in an understatement, as if saying that the weather was fine, but it still shocked Xiaoxi and Quan Fu, and they knelt down hastily, trembling with fright: "My lord! In other words... since the slaves have arrived at Pingkang Palace, they will naturally treat you..."

"What are you afraid of? I'm just asking." Still smiling, Xiao Jingheng interrupted Xiaoxi calmly: "I'm curious, if I die, will you be assigned to work in other palaces?"

Xiao Xi and Quan Fu wiped the sweat from their brows, they had no idea what was going on in this man's head, but they could only answer honestly: "If something happens to the young master in Pingkang Palace, where are the servants?" There is still a way to live!"

"So that's how it is." Xiao Jingheng nodded: "It's pitiful to have to be buried with you. But what if... someone promises to take care of your family?"

This sentence made Xiao Xi and Quan Fu break out in cold sweat again, Xiao Xi hurriedly replied: "There is no such thing, my lord! The servant is really dedicated to working hard. And Quan Fu, Quan Fu was an orphan before he entered the palace."

"I'm just asking." Xiao Jingheng showed them a comforting smile: "Actually, I also think that such a promise is not worthwhile, and it is not safe. If I die, the entire Pingkang Palace will have to be buried with me, and no one can escape. They all have to die. How can the dead be sure that the living will fulfill their promises? What if the other party decides to kill their family members together for safety’s sake, wouldn’t the gain outweigh the loss.”

 ---Here is the dividing line that scares people--
  Xiao Hengheng is just threatening that there is nothing wrong with him, even though he is smiling and good-natured when he does everything, but don't forget, this guy can do anything.
