Fu Yijing asked Shi Shiguan, "What is his background?"
Shi Shiguan glanced at Xie Changning, then lowered his head to flip through the book in his hand. He turned all the way to the last page and finally saw Xie Changning's name. "To your Highness, his name is Changning. He used to work in the Palace's Department of Ceremonies. He was assigned to our Chengguang Pavilion five days ago."
Working in the Zhangyisi, that is to say, this person named Chang Ning has no family background.
Fu Yijing called Xie Changning over and asked a few questions. He then said with great satisfaction, "Pack up and move out of Chengguang Pavilion today. Before you serve Her Highness, find a vacant courtyard in Deyang Palace to live in. If you have any questions, you can ask my chess master."
Deyang Palace is a side hall under the Fuyao Palace. It is located to the west of the main courtyard of Fuyao Palace. The accommodation conditions there are many times better than those in the southern courtyard where five or six people are squeezed into one room.
Xie Changning immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed to thank Fu Yijing for his kindness. Fu Yijing was even more satisfied with his humble attitude. He asked the young men in front of him to introduce themselves one by one, and chose Bishui, who he liked, and another young man named Qi Hezhang.
But when it comes to who he is most satisfied with, Fu Yijing still values Xie Changning, who has the best-looking face.
After he brought the three back to Fuyao Palace, he first gave them a warning to make it clear to them who would be the master they should swear allegiance to in the future. Then he sent Bishui and Qi Hezhang away and left Xie Changning alone.
Xie Changning knelt upright in front of Fu Yijing, his face as cold as ice now showing his utmost humility. "I will always remember the kindness of Your Highness the Crown Princess. As long as Your Highness the Crown Princess gives the order, I will not hesitate to climb a mountain of swords or plunge into a sea of fire."
At Fu Yijing's signal, the attendant stepped forward and helped Xie Changning up from the ground. "Young Master Changning, please follow me to change clothes. The Princess Royal will come to see Her Highness later this afternoon. If there is a suitable opportunity, you can serve Her Highness today."
