Chapter 011
Among the newcomers, the one Chen Xi values the most is a fair and clean boy named Feng An who looks fifteen or sixteen years old.
Every time Chen Xi asked about his surname, Feng An would rather be punished than say it.
Someone called out the information about Feng An's entry into the palace, and in the name column, there was only the word Feng An alone, and no surname was mentioned.
Although there is someone with the surname Feng, you can tell from Feng An's expression that Feng is not his surname.
Chen Xi did not know why and why Feng An kept his own surname secret and refused to mention it, but Feng An is a talent, this is an indisputable fact.
But judging by Feng'an's bearing, if he doesn't enter the palace, it's no problem to pass the first-class exam with his intelligence.
Others can't see the gloomy look between Feng'an's brows, but why can't Chen Xi, who almost became a fairy, not see it?
Feng'an's hatred is hidden very deep, if not for Chen Xi, no one can see the hatred in Feng'an's heart.
During this period of time, Chen Xi intentionally or unintentionally called Feng An to serve him. After a period of observation, Chen Xi finally confirmed one thing.
Feng An's entry into the palace was definitely not voluntary, I'm afraid he was forced to do so, from the point of view of conversation and thinking, if he didn't enter the palace as a eunuch, this young man would definitely be a very human minister in the future.
It's a pity... I don't know who caused Feng An to enter the palace and become what he is now.
Chen Xi got on the couch, glanced at Feng An who was standing not far away, couldn't fall asleep for a while, and called Feng An to come closer.
"Feng An, how about giving you a surname alone?" Chen Xi said with a smile on his face.
Feng An suddenly raised his head and met Chen Xi's smiling black eyes, he couldn't help being stunned, and froze on the spot.
Chen Xi curled his lips into a smile, and asked again.
Feng An seemed to understand something, his forehead rested on the cold ground, and his voice trembled: "Thank you, Your Highness, for giving me your surname."
Hearing this, the smile on Chen Xi's lips became more and more meaningful, "Mei, blooming in the cold, beautiful and unconventional, cutting snow and ice, with a proud body." The name doesn’t sound good, so I’ll change it for you, so the surname is Mei Dan and the word Bing. From now on, you’ll be called Mei Bing, with the word Ying Han, how about it?”
"Mei Bing, I would like to thank His Royal Highness for giving you your name." Although Mei Bing's voice was still a little trembling, under restraint, it became calmer.
Chen Xi was very satisfied with Mei Bing's reaction.
"Tomorrow you will leave the palace with Mr. Zuo, and Zuo Yiye will tell you what you want to do," Chen Xi said with a narrowed smile, "From now on, there will be no Feng'an in the East Palace, and you will only be Mei Bing from now on, and you can only be Mei Bing. Got it. ?”
Mei Bing straightened up on her knees, and looked at Chen Xi without hesitation, her eyes were full of firmness: "Mei Bing is willing to serve His Highness like a dog."
"What you want to do with Gu's power is up to you to do, Gu is too lazy to ask, but," Chen Xi smiled dangerously, "The thing Gu will not allow is betrayal, do you remember?"
"Mei Bing understands!"
Chen Xi nodded, and waved Mei Bing to back down.
Mei Bing got up to leave, and after walking out of the dormitory, a gust of night wind blew in, making her suddenly feel cold.
At some point, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Facing His Highness the Crown Prince, one must be extremely cautious, otherwise one carelessness would lead to a terrible death.
Mei Bing didn't know when His Highness began to see that he harbored a great hatred. Since he entered the palace for more than two months, no one has ever discovered the hatred buried in his heart, but just now, His Highness easily pointed it out. .
Although he tried his best not to show anything unusual, he was still in a cold sweat.
Thinking of the recent rumors in Beijing, that the prince secretly sent someone to spread the rumor that he is the Son of Destiny, although he didn't know who spread the rumor, but he didn't intend to believe it from the beginning.
Now that she is with the prince, Mei Bing doesn't believe it anymore.
The prince is only 13 years old now, with such a genius, with such a ruthless eye, how can he be so innocent and harmless as rumored in the palace?
Although everyone said that the six-month ban in the Eastern Palace was teaching the prince today, but he never thought that a truly pure and kind person could be taught to look like this in just half a year.
Is it because His Highness the Crown Prince hid his true nature in the past years, or was he angered by the murder of the Second Prince...
Mei Bing couldn't help but think of the current assassination at the New Year's Eve banquet. He was also there at that time, and he didn't think highly of His Highness the Crown Prince at that time. He even once thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was too aggressive and inferior to other scheming princes.
He asked himself that he was good at knowing people, otherwise he wouldn't be lucky enough to be assigned to the East Palace.
Before and after the assassination, the changes in the prince were astonishing.
It has always been rumored that the prince is extremely intelligent, but Mei Bing only thought that it was because of the high status of the prince and his majesty's love that he was praised.
But now it seems that the prince is not only smart, but can be described as smart?
If it is smart, Mei Bing has seen all the princes studying in the study room, all of them are smart, especially the seventh prince, who is only ten years old, his shrewd temperament is not like a ten-year-old child.
Originally, Mei Bing was the most optimistic about the Seventh Prince, but now, Mei Bing has slapped her own tongue.
After serving in the East Palace for more than a month, he didn't realize that the crown prince was hiding so deeply. If the crown prince hadn't specially called him to talk to him tonight, he might never know that the crown prince was watching him during this time.
This scheming, this calmness, are not comparable to the princes.
Is he really worthy of being the Son of Destiny?
Mei Bing shook her head and let out a long sigh of relief.
Forget it, since he has pledged allegiance to the prince now, nothing else has anything to do with him.
The prince's intention is clearly to let him leave the palace, as for what the prince has arranged outside the palace, only after he leaves the palace will he know.
Now thinking about being observed by the prince for so long, he still breaks out in a cold sweat.
Fortunately, he is just a little eunuch with no background, not enough to attract the attention of those princes who want to seize the throne, otherwise he really is not sure whether he will go astray because of being confused by the prince's appearance.
Fortunately, nothing has been done wrong.
Although he appreciates the seventh prince, he also has a deep understanding of the viciousness of the seventh prince.
If such a person becomes an emperor, the common people will all suffer.
It's better to be a prince...
Chen Xi didn't know that there were so many thoughts in Mei Bing's mind in the dormitory, because Chen Xi was in a good mood because he subdued a genius whose IQ was above the average level.
Just as Chen Xi turned over to go to sleep, a gust of abnormal wind hit, Chen Xi stood up resolutely, looked around, but found nothing.
Slightly frowning, Chen Xi is sure that it is absolutely impossible for him to have hallucinations, so...the person who came here hid it too well.
Chen Xi didn't expect that someone could enter the heavily guarded East Palace without a sound, and even he couldn't detect it without moving.
This ability simply exceeded his expectations.
Could it be that besides him, in this mortal world, is there anyone else who has mastered the transcendental power?
Apart from this kind of speculation, none of the other guesses could convince Chen Xi.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Xi's expression darkened, and he lowered his voice: "Who is coming? Come out!"
There was a sound from behind the curtain, and then a young man in a black robe walked out.
After seeing the man's appearance clearly, Chen Xi raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little surprised, he felt it was expected.
Prince Ning's son... Su Ze.
"Su Shizi trespassed on the East Palace without authorization, do you know that this is the crime of exterminating the nine clans?" For some reason, seeing this person, Chen Xi's heart became less guarded.
Although he was vigilant, it was only because Su Ze was too mysterious.
"I didn't break into the palace on purpose, it's just that someone led me here." Su Ze was unhurried, as if he didn't notice the sarcasm in Chen Xi's tone, and his posture was leisurely as if he was at his own home.
"Oh? Lead you over?" Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and spoke in a deep voice.
Su Ze just said that someone led him here, but he didn't say who the person who led him was.
But now that Su Ze is in the East Palace, doesn't it mean that the person who led him here was someone sent by him, Chen Xi?
Chen Xi quickly thought of those people he sent to watch Su Ze during this period.
Now it seems that not only is Su Ze's personal strength mysterious and unpredictable, but even the power in his hands is beyond comparison with ordinary people.
"Your Highness, for more than half a month, I have found that there are always some masters staring at my yard. I thought it would be fine after a while, but I didn't want these people to stay. It really affected my mood, so I followed them to the East Palace today, and now I see Your Highness, but I have some doubts and want to ask Your Highness to explain my doubts." Su Ze was still smiling, but his momentum did not weaken at all.
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows: "Speak!"
"More than half a month ago, outside the Imperial College, the minister did a little favor for His Highness, didn't you?"
"Of course."
"His Highness sent someone to watch over the courtier's courtyard for more than half a month, is that right?"
"...Of course."
"Then, what did I do wrong to make His Royal Highness send people to stare at me so much?"
"..." Chen Xi looked at Su Ze speechlessly, and was speechless for a while.
This man is too blunt!
He almost didn't say directly: Your Royal Highness, what did I do wrong and you want to send someone to monitor me?
Seeing Chen Xi lying on the couch expressionlessly without saying a word, Su Ze suddenly laughed.
Chen Xi looked at Su Ze suspiciously. Su Ze looked directly at Chen Xi's beautiful face, and slowly knelt down on one knee with a solemn tone.
"His Royal Highness, I am willing to serve His Royal Highness. I wonder if His Highness is willing to take him in?"
Now Chen Xi was really stunned, sat up straight and looked at the kneeling person.
No matter how he looked at it, Chen Xi couldn't see that this person meant to tease him.
Is this person really here to show his loyalty?
Chen Xi couldn't believe it. After all, this person was the kind of person he had never met in three lifetimes and could not grasp.
Even in the previous life, there were so many cultivating sects, and no one could do anything to him.
On the contrary, in this ancient times, which was hundreds of years worse than modern times, he unexpectedly met such an uncontrollable person.
This was beyond his expectation, and he did not dare to accept this man's allegiance easily.
But if he refuses, it will push this person to his hostile force, which is even more unacceptable to him.
So... I still have to bring this person with me to observe closely... right?
Chen Xi was wearing a bright yellow silk inner garment, with his elbows resting on the soft pillow and his forehead propped up with his hands, squinting at Su Ze, who was kneeling on one knee, in a boneless and lazy posture.
The room in the dormitory was quiet, and after a while, Chen Xi said: "Give me a reason to take you in."
