Chapter 200: Candied Pork Knuckle
There are many eunuchs living in Hanbing Palace, but no one has come to visit Chang Xi in the past few days.
Everyone thinks that he is a useless person. Even if they curry favor with him, they won't get any benefit. So why waste their time on him?
This is how the world is. There are always more people who add icing on the cake than those who provide timely help.
When he was in glory, those people tried their best to please him, but when he was in despair, those people just left him.
Chang Xi had no complaints about this, he had long been used to it.
Precisely because he was used to it, he felt even more deeply touched when he looked at the chicken soup in front of him.
He sat up with difficulty, took the chicken soup, drank two sips, and sighed sincerely.
"Xiao Liangdi is a good person."
Baoqin said proudly, "My young master is indeed very good."
She acted like a loving mother whose own child was praised by others.
Baoqin noticed that there was a lot of dust in the room and there were some dirty clothes piled up beside the bed. It was obvious that the room had not been cleaned for several days.
She was confused: "Why don't you have someone clean the house?"
Chang Xi said casually, "They all think that I am disliked by the prince and will soon fall from power, so they are unwilling to come to my house, and naturally no one helps me clean the house."
Baoqin was very angry: "How could they do this? You were injured, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't want you to work too hard, so he let you come back to rest and recuperate. I will go and explain it to them right now!"
Chang Xi called her and said, "No need to explain. It's good like this now. No one comes to disturb me. It's more conducive for me to rest."
"Then I'll help you clean the house!"
Baoqin does what she says.
She rolled up her sleeves, found a rag, wiped the tables and chairs first, and then started sweeping the floor.
Chang Xi told her to stop working.
Baoqin said as she worked, "It's okay. I'm used to doing these jobs. I can finish them quickly. Please take a rest and don't move around."
Chang Xi saw that he couldn't stop her and could only smile helplessly.
This Miss Baoqin, like Xiao Liangdi, is a kind-hearted person.
No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince always likes to go to Qingge Palace. It really makes one feel comfortable to be with such people.
After Baoqin finished cleaning the house, she put the dirty clothes into a big basket.
Chang Xi said, "Thank you for coming to see me and helping me with this and that."
"It's just a small thing, you're welcome," Baoqin picked up the lunch box in one hand and the basket in the other, "I'll go back first. I'll come to see you another day when I'm free. Bye."
Baoqin left Hanbing Palace and made a detour to the laundry department.
She took the dirty clothes in the basket to the laundry, then quickly returned to the Linde Hall carrying the lunch box.
She took the lunch box back to the small kitchen and happened to see Sizhu stewing something. As soon as she smelled it, she knew it was stewed pork elbow.
When Sizhu saw her coming, she took the initiative to greet her.
"Sister Baoqin is back. It's just right. I have stewed pork elbow with rock sugar. Can you help me send it to Xiao Liangdi?"
Baoqin had no good feelings towards the woman who tried to seduce the prince.
She asked cautiously, "How did you think of stewing pork elbow with rock sugar for my young master?"
Could it be that this woman poisoned the food?
Sizhu seemed to see through her thoughts. She directly opened the pottery jar, scooped a small spoonful of soup with a spoon, put it in a small bowl, and drank it in front of her.
After finishing the drink, Sizhu said generously: "Look, there is nothing wrong with this dish, just send it to Xiao Liangdi without any worries."
Baoqin was still a little hesitant.
Sizhu smiled and said, "Since you don't want to, I will personally deliver it to Xiao Liangdi."
