Overall, King Jing is a very good person to serve.
She was originally a small palace servant, and she had no experience in serving the master up close. At the beginning, she was a little chaotic, but King Jing never said it, but Eunuch Fu had privately trained them several times.
However, Xiaohua also determined that King Jing was a very strange person, because she had served for so many days, and she had never heard him speak or told them to do anything.
After returning to the temple, he always sat there motionless, and once he sat there, he entered into meditation. There was almost no expression on his face, anyway, Xiaohua didn't see that there were other expressions on his face besides being expressionless.
Xiaohua even suspected that this person was dumb, but of course the suspicion was only in her heart, and she didn't dare to show it on the surface.
After serving in the temple for a few days, Xiaohua and the others also have some understanding of King Jing's habits.
These understandings came from their own observations when they were on duty, as well as the guidance of the two little eunuchs who served in the front hall. One of these two little eunuchs is called Xiao Xiazi and the other is called Xiao Qinzi. Both Xiaoxiazi and Xiao Changzi are the handyman eunuchs in Jingtai Hall, and they are a little higher than the handyman eunuchs who serve outside the hall. After all, there are still some differences between the outside of the hall and the inside of the hall.
There are several other eunuchs in Jingtai Hall, but those people are very serious, they are only responsible for the personal service of King Jing, and they never talk to Xiaohua and the little palace people, so they are also unfamiliar.
According to Xiao Xiazi, His Royal Highness King Jing has such an indifferent character and rarely speaks, so when serving next to His Highness, you must pay attention to his eyes.
Winking is something illusory, and whether you can comprehend it depends on your personal conduct. Xiao Xiazi can only give them some hints so that they can serve next to His Highness in the future, and there is not much else to say.
As for why King Jing had such a weird temperament, no one dared to ask, and no one dared to say.
How can you be a slave to talk about your master's affairs, just be a good or bad one, the more you serve by your master's side, the greater the opportunity, and the more the same danger. This is what Xiao Xiazi pretended to say when Xier just wanted to ask his Highness Xiaoxiazi why he had such a character.
Some people disapprove of it, and some people take it seriously, such as Xiaohua, she knows that this is the truth.
If you don't look at anything else, you can understand the truth just by looking at the solemn and solemn people who have served for a long time in Jingtai Hall. On the other hand, Xiao Xiazi looked very cautious in his words and deeds on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be very enthusiastic towards them.
Xiaohua has not learned anything else in her two lifetimes, but she can tell a little by looking at people, at least she can see the arrogance hidden in Xiaoxiazi's smiling face. She thought that someone had ordered him to do this, or else someone else would come and talk to you little palace servants when they were full.
After serving in the hall for a few days, Xiaohua almost realized that they were just temporarily inserted and entered.
It seems that he is serving in the temple, but in fact, the work that he can do has long been divided by others. The person in charge of serving the tea was only in charge of serving the tea, and the person who served the meal was the one who waited while His Royal Highness King Jing was eating. Those who were in charge of standing like her and Xiuyun were just standing there.
Someone wanted to do more, and someone came out to stop it. How should I put it, it just gave Xiaohua a feeling that she couldn't fit in at all, like an outsider.
This kind of worry Xiaohua didn't tell anyone, she just kept it in her heart to be more vigilant. Of course, it was possible that she thought too much.
…
People are divided into several classes, errands are good or bad, and the definition of good or bad depends on how individuals think.
After serving in the hall for a few days, these little palace people can almost feel something.
At least some people understand that they are both human beings, but there are two people who are better at errands than others. These two are Xiaohua and Xiuyun.
And the manifestation is that Xiaohua and Xiuyun seem to be invisibly isolated by the people in the same room.
In the past few days, few people in the same room have spoken to the two of them intentionally or not, and even Xi'er, who has always liked to pester people, has lessened. Fortunately, Xiaohua and Xiuyun are not the kind of ignorant personality, otherwise they would be a little maladjusted.
Of course, this was also the beginning, and as another few days passed, gradually the other people started to say something sour.
It was because of this that Xiaohua knew why she and Xiuyun were treated so specially, because they were the ones who stayed with King Jing the longest among the six people on their errands.
After Xiaohua understood, she could only smile bitterly.
Among them, Qiaolian is the most prominent, followed by Zhi'er. Meier and Xier rarely speak sour words, but Xier is hardly willing to talk to Xiaohua Xiuyun now, and she often sees the eyes of the two are very complicated.
It is common to go hungry while serving the master. The master sits and you stand while the master eats and you watch. If King Jing didn't go to the apse to rest or go to the front yard after eating during the day, then Xiaohua and Xiuyun would have to wait hungry until King Jing left.
So, what seems to be a good job is not as good as you think. Xiaohua understands these things, but unfortunately others don't.
Hungry until late, King Jing took Fushun to the front yard, only then did Xiaohua and Xiuyun breathe a sigh of relief and head back to the palace room. Their lunch had been delivered long ago, and everyone else in the same room had eaten it, but the two of them hadn't eaten it yet.
There were two bowls of food on the table. The food was cold and seemed like leftovers.
This has happened a few times. Sometimes when Xiaohua and the two of them are not in time for lunch, they are called and brought back by the people in the same room.
It was fine at the beginning, but it gradually became like this, the meals became less and less, and now there is a little rice in a bowl, and the vegetables are also soupy and watery without a few leaves.
The food in King Jing's mansion is not bad. After coming to Jingtai Palace, it is better than before. If it can be said that it was not deliberately done by other people, Xiaohua really doesn't believe it.
She didn't speak, just stared at her bowl.
When Xiaohua and Xiuyun came back, several other people were talking in the room. Seeing the two came back, their voices became quieter. At this time, seeing Xiaohua looking at lunch, the room was even more silent.
"Who helped me with the meal today?" Xiaohua tried to make her voice sound calmer, but her face was not calm. In fact, Xiaohua's appearance is no different from before, but people with a guilty conscience will eventually feel guilty because of their fantasies.
"It's me." Zhi'er smiled crampedly, and pretended to aim at the two people's rice bowls unintentionally, "Oh, you all know this, you can't catch up with dinner, there are too many people eating, and when I go to fight, I will That's all that's left."
A 'witness' came to the side, "Yes, I was with Zhi'er at the time."
Qiaolian seemed to be much more domineering, "Yeah, you won't be blamed for doing good deeds because of this weird person, and you will pick and choose between helping you with meals."
Xiuyun stayed silent for a while, lowered her head, and squeezed her hands slowly.
Xiaohua smiled and said, "Qiao Lian, your associative power is so rich, have I said something strange?"
There were no stools in the palace servant's room, so she took the bowl and sat beside her bed.
"It's customary to help people in the same house as the police, but I still want to thank you for your help. But I also want to say that each person's meals are regularly rationed, right?" Xiaohua said again before other people responded: " I know that you are all busy, Xiuyun and I have troubled you a lot, if it is inconvenient, you can say it directly, I will explain it to Eunuch Fu, and find someone else to help."
At present, the contradictions in the house of this palace are still invisible, and the few people in the same room are at best not paying attention to the two of them, or speaking a little sarcastically on weekdays. No matter how turbulent the dark tide is below, no one wants to make trouble with Eunuch Fu.
"Look at what you said, Xiaohua, I can only blame me for being slow today. I will pay more attention next time. I don't need to go to Eunuch Fu." Zhi'er agreed with a smile.
Several other people also said the same thing, but Qiaolian glared at Xiaohua without saying a word.
"Then I really want to thank you sisters and sisters." Xiaohua smiled widely, but did not enter her eyes.
After she finished speaking, she took a bowl and ate silently.
Taking advantage of the time between the two of them to wash the dishes, Zhi'er said, "I just said that this is impossible, you have to do it."
Qiaolian was also full of anger, "Am I alone?"
What she said was true. Qiao Lian did it at the beginning, but the other people didn't say anything when they saw it, and they looked like they were going to see a good show. Seeing the first time Xiaohua and Xiuyun didn't say anything, and knowing that the two had a sullen temperament, the others thought that they would be dumbfounded.
Dumb thanked others for eating, and ate for a few days, but he did not continue to eat.
"Alright, alright, don't go too far, it will be ugly when you make trouble at Eunuch Fu's place." Mei Er smoothed things out. They are new entrants who have just come to Jingtai Hall, and they still have to achieve harmony on the surface.
Qiaolian snorted and said nothing.
******
The days became tedious and busy, because as long as King Jing was there, they had to serve on the side, changing the idleness of the past. After all, he was serving under the eyes of the biggest master in the manor. Even if he was intrigued, he would be nervous when he was on duty.
King Jing rarely stayed in the Jingtai Hall, and most of the time was in the front yard. Leave in the morning, only come back at lunchtime, and sometimes don't come back. Occasionally in the afternoon, I would read a book in the study room, or sit in a calm state in the hall. Of course, there would be times when no one was seen.
When King Jing was away, Xiaohua and the others were not allowed to enter the hall, and they could place orders after the You Hou every day. Considering the time of the errand, and the gap between them, except for the nervousness when serving on the side, it is actually a very idle errand.
In his spare time, a few Xiaogong people who are good at drilling camps did not let go of socializing with others. In this regard, Xierzhier has contributed a lot to the masses of the people. Xiaohua didn't like this set, but it didn't prevent her from hearing a few words from their words.
Although the Jingtai Hall is large, it is a palace after all, and there are not many activities for Xiaohua and others. Xiaohua's temperament is calm, and she doesn't find it annoying to stay in the palace room after the assignment, but some people feel very boring after staying for a few days.
Because of this, Xiaohua also knew that if something happened, she could leave the Jingtai Hall.
This good news was brought back by Xi'er. She asked after she got acquainted with the little eunuch guarding the gate. It was not difficult to come up with the Jingtai Palace, as long as she reported to Eunuch Chang and explained the reason, she could go out. Eunuch Chang is the deputy general manager of the Jingtai Hall. Fushun will always be with His Royal Highness to serve him. If Fushun is not there on weekdays, Eunuch Chang will be in charge of the entire Jingtai Hall.
After learning the good news, Xi'er went out and said to find her former good friend. Seeing that Xi'er went out very smoothly, Zhi'er and Qiaolian also went out one after another, and I don't know what excuses they used.
Xiaohua didn't move when she saw these going out. First, she doesn't have any 'good friends', and second, she doesn't bother to move. If she is unlucky, she has to stand on duty for a day. She might as well rest in the room if she has time to spare.
Xiuyun always wanted to go out and find her sister again, but she didn't move because of caution. It wasn't until I saw a few of them that they went out first, and then I went to the Changgong Gonggong to prepare for going out.
Xiuyun came all the way to the Dian Restaurant and found Ru'er with almost no obstacles.
Ru'er was doing well, and now she's an Omiya person in charge of a kitchen.
However, there are many kitchen divisions in the restaurant, which is not much, but overall it is not bad. He was on duty in the kitchen again, and was in charge of the meals of the palace servants. Even if King Jing’s mansion was strictly managed and there was no such thing as deducting the meals of the palace servants, it was inevitable that he would be flattered by other palace servants.
When Ru'er saw that the girl was wearing clothes that were different from those of the palace servants, she was overjoyed and smiled. He took Xiuyun to the palace where he lived and asked a lot of things, such as where his errands were, what he was in charge of, and whether he could enter the palace to serve a lot of miscellaneous things.
After listening to Xiuyun's description, Ru'er knew in her heart that the girl had a good starting point.
"Xiuyun, your starting point is good, and you have been assigned to serve in the temple. When you are on duty, you must be careful and don't make mistakes. According to my sister's past experience, once you make a mistake, you will be expelled from the temple."
"Probably not. We haven't made some small mistakes these days. I don't think His Highness has shown anything."
Seeing that her sister didn't take it seriously, Ru'er couldn't help frowning and said sharply, "That's because Your Highness doesn't want to care, or there are other reasons, you must remember to be cautious and cautious, and don't be expelled. ."
Xiuyun was only fifteen this year, and she seemed calm on weekdays, but that was what she learned slowly after entering the King Jing's mansion. Of course, Ru'er's 'teaching' forced her to keep her words and actions carefully. At this time, seeing her sister's serious appearance, she nodded her head, who has always been honest and obedient.
Ru'er didn't want to put too much pressure on her sister, and said warmly: "Sister, this is also for your own good. You should know how difficult it was for us sisters to grow up so big. Our lives are not good, we can only rely on my own."
"Sister, I understand."
"We don't have a mother. Having a father is almost the same as having no father. I got to King Jing's Mansion because of good luck. If I was unlucky, I couldn't even imagine what the outcome would be. I won't tell you if that woman is sold, and I will marry you. That fool, to put it bluntly, it's just because we have no ability to resist. Now we finally have a good opportunity, maybe we can change the fate of our sisters, Xiuyun, you must work hard, my sister will count on you in the future."
Such words, Ru'er and Xiuyun said many times.
Xiuyun also knew that what her sister said was the truth. It was because they were too weak that they were constantly abused by the woman who was her stepmother. And now there is an opportunity that will make people stronger, as long as she can persevere, as long as she can stay by His Highness's side, one day it will fly to the branches.
The two sisters continued to talk for a while. Most of Ru'er said that Xiuyun listened, and the content of what they said was nothing more than words of encouragement or beating.
After speaking, Ru'er asked about the situation of the other small palace servants who entered the hall with Xiuyun to serve.
Xiuyun talked to several people in the same room next to each other, and Ru'er heard that the girl specifically mentioned a girl named Xiaohua, and asked some details in detail.
After being silent for a while, Ru'er said: "According to your description, the little flower here is a calm one. My elder sister has no experience in serving others. You can observe that little flower and learn from her. And you have to remember , You must be calm at the beginning, and you won’t be able to stay for long if you are not calm.”
