The lion's head is delicious, the sweet and sour tenderloin is also delicious, of course, in addition to the dishes she ordered, the dining room also added two dishes and a soup, the example of the talented person is indeed four dishes, but it is good that the talented person who is not favored can eat two dishes, before Shaining was two dishes per meal, but she had a small amount of food, and the two dishes could not be eaten. Of course, the dining room doesn't dare to snub her now, not to mention that the emperor has still eaten in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion! No one can detain her.

I also know how Xie Ning can eat all the four dishes, one soup and one big bowl of rice alone, even if Qinghe and Qingmei help them eat, they can't eat it, and other people in the courtyard can also enjoy the dishes of talented people together.

Shainin used to feel embarrassed to let them eat their leftovers, but since this is the case elsewhere, she can't change this reality, so she tries to be convenient with others. When she eats, she uses another pair of chopsticks to pick it out and then eats it with her own chopsticks, and she only eats one side, and she doesn't mess up the whole dish.

Qinghe and the others divided the dishes in the bowl, she and Qingmei ate first, and the other two rough palace maids and eunuchs in the other courtyards could also follow suit.

"The people in the dining room are really good at watching people put down dishes, and they didn't ...... before" Qingmei was halfway through her words, and she saw Qinghe staring at her, and she didn't dare to say the second half of the sentence.

"If you are so heartless again, I will go and tell the talented people, return you, and I can't leave you to serve by the talented people." Qinghe was by no means joking with her. Although the two of them are the palace maids who were assigned to Xie Ning together, Qinghe is two years older than Qingmei, stable and capable, she has taken care of all the big and small things in less than a month, Qingmei's personality is a little reckless, she doesn't know what to do if others don't tell her, and she is born to be a fighter.

If this is the case, Qinghe doesn't mind her, but the talented person is going to be favored, and there will be more and more people and things in the future.

"You say that others watch people put food on the plate? Look at yourself first. Have you ever eaten such a dish before? Did you dare to complain at that time? Now that you're gaining momentum, you think you can shake your might, right? If you are so shallow-eyed, you will only offend people everywhere with one mouth, and now there are people who want to come up and serve, and there are many of you. ”

Qinghe's voice was not loud, and he didn't speak fast, but the meaning of his words was not half a joke. Qingmei panicked all of a sudden, and quickly got off the stool and knelt down at Qinghe's feet: "Sister, sister, I was wrong, I won't dare next time, don't tell the talented people to drive me away." ”

If you are thrown out, you will have no way to live, and you can only do the heaviest work for others to do. Talent treats people well, her current work is light, she is not willing to go out of the door of the Xiangge Pavilion even if she dies.

Qinghe was unmoved, pushed the dishes and chopsticks and stood up: "You're not a three- or five-year-old child, why can't you control your mouth?" Do you remember the palace maid who died by the well platform the winter before last? ”

Qingmei nodded stiffly: "Remember." ”

"What did she do wrong?"

"She talks a lot...... "Qingmei shuddered.

Speaking of that, it's really scary, Qingmei saw it at the time, and she would have nightmares for months afterward. The palace maid offended people by speaking recklessly, and was poured cold water on her body, and asked her to wash her clothes by the well, and by the time she was discovered, she was already dead, her whole body was erect, and she was frozen with the well platform, and she chiseled the ice with a chisel and hammer so that the body could be carried away.

"If you can't change this problem, don't say what will happen to you, and you will suffer along with talented people. I'll just say this time, you stay here and think about it. Next time, I won't say a word to you, you just go out. ”

Qinghe really didn't say any more, and went out directly, there is still a lot of work to do. As for Qingmei, the two have also had some love for more than two years, and she reminded her again and again, but this is really the last time. If Qingmei can't change her problem, Qinghe won't miss the old love again.

Everyone's path is under everyone's feet, others can show you the way at most, and it's your own business whether you go or not.

Qi Shanggong, the material rewarded by the emperor, took over the work, personally led a group of embroidery girls to rush out, and personally led someone to send it.

Although it is a rush work, there is no slightest discount on quality.

People are so supportive, of course Xie Ning can't pour cold water, ordered Qinghe to take a purse containing a silver coin to give it to Qi Shang Palace, and also picked up a shawl in the new clothes on the spot and put it on his shoulder, praising Qi Shang Palace and the needlework bureau for their good craftsmanship.

The things in the palace are all about coming and going. Qi Shanggong rushed to show favor like this, of course Xie Ning couldn't let his family's good intentions be disappointed.

She can't afford other benefits, and a few kind words are always fine. In terms of rank, Qi Shanggong's rank is higher than her rank as a small talent, and there are more than that. When it comes to real power, Qi Shang Palace is one of the first few real power Shang Palaces in the back garden, and even if the first place is not counted, it will definitely be able to rank in the top three.

The palace maid brought by Qi Shanggong propped up the new dress and shirt with a wooden shelf and showed it to Xie Ning.

Among these clothes is also a riding costume, and the style is a curved hufu. A robe with a lapel and narrow sleeves, plain silk corseted pants, leather boots and a splendid pheasant feather hat.

Qi Shanggong pointed to the riding costume and said with a smile: "It's hot at this time, and I can't say that I can wear it in autumn." ”

Shainin said: "I haven't worn such clothes yet, so I don't know if I look good in them." ”

"It must be pretty. The talented person is slim, with a slender waist and a long neck, and it is more suitable to wear this than others. ”

looked at the clothes and politeness like this, and tossed and turned for a while before leaving.

Out of the door of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, a young palace man behind Qi Shang Palace who combed the crescent moon and the sea walked two steps forward, approached and asked Qi Shang Palace in a low voice: "Why did my aunt come here today to deliver clothes in person?" Let's just take a run. ”

Qi Shanggong smiled slightly: "Don't you understand?" ”

The palace people who asked nodded again and again.

"If you don't understand, keep thinking, and when you figure it out, you'll talk about it."

And in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, the two Qinghe Qingmei were busy and sorted out these colorful and pleasing new clothes and put them in the cabinet.

This brings us to a new problem. The wardrobe in Shainin's house doesn't have such a big place to hold it, and the clothes of the season, those sent a few days ago have already filled the cabinets, and the ones sent today really can't be stuffed in.

"Talented, why don't you put the old clothes in order and put them in the wing room first, so that you can make room for these new clothes?"

Xie Ning thought for a while: "I remember that there was a skirt that was washed and faded, and the one embroidered with longevity flowers was broken, vacate these pieces, and the others don't need to be moved first." ”

Qinghe was a little embarrassed, looking at the new clothes that people couldn't take their eyes off at first sight: "Talented, that can't make much space, these still can't be put down." ”

"Just pick two pieces, and the others can be put in the wing room first." Shainin pointed to two, one was a water-colored long trolling skirt, and the other was an elephant-colored double finch shirt.

Qinghe swallowed back the words from his mouth, and picked out the two new clothes according to what Xie Ning said, and put the others in the wing.

Qingmei really didn't understand, and her stomach was full of wonder. However, after she was warned by Qinghe, she was much more cautious than before, and easily did not speak.

That's what Qinghe taught her. If you can't speak, then talk less, so as to save trouble from coming out of your mouth. Qingmei, listening to it, listening to it, I'm afraid that I won't be able to remember it well, so I always grit my teeth tightly, and I hold back everything I want to say.

The two put away their new clothes, Qinghe glanced at her, and saw Qingmei gritting her teeth and staring wide-eyed, with a bitter and hateful look, and shook her head with a smile: "Look at you like this, if you have anything to ask, you can ask now." ”

Qingmei cautiously asked, "Really?" ”

"Really, I don't lie to you."

Qingmei pointed to the new clothes: "Why don't talented people want these new ones?" These are better than the ones sent last time, the style is novel, and the materials are precious. The new clothes are all season by season, and after the season is put aside to the next year, the clothes will be old, and they will not look good again. ”

Qinghe nodded: "I didn't understand it just now. I often hear people say that clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as the old, who always wears the old with the new? But if a talented person does this, she must have her plans. I guess that talented people don't want people to point behind their backs, saying that she will be arrogant when she is suddenly favored. ”

Qingmei thought about it, her own talented people are indeed not arrogant people.

"It's a pity."

These are new clothes, good clothes.

Qinghe didn't reprimand her for being shallow-eyed.

She also felt pity. There is a garnet red loose flower skirt in the new clothes sent, such a positive pomegranate red is not ordinary, I heard that the dye of the Central Plains can not be dyed, it should be a flower from Fanbang to dye such a bright and bright red. If such a skirt is folded into money, it will be enough for ordinary people outside to eat for a year, right? It's a shame to just put it in a box and put it aside.

But compared to the future prospects of the talented people, these clothes are nothing.

Qinghe said that he was partly right, but he still didn't completely guess Xie Ning's thoughts.

Xie Ning didn't want to wear it so dazzlingly, especially the red dress. In this palace, she really hasn't seen anyone wear red like this a few times. If you really wear that skirt out, it will be so jealous. Besides, she felt more comfortable wearing old clothes.

"Talented, Wangyun Pavilion sent an invitation."

"Wangyun Pavilion?"

Qinghe handed over the invitation.

Not only Xie Ning was puzzled, but even she was quite surprised.

Wangyun Pavilion lives in Liang Meiren.

Xie Ning went to Wangyun Pavilion once, and it was not long after he entered the palace, after Liang Meiren's rank became a beauty, he once invited those of them who entered the palace together to go to Wangyun Pavilion for a small gathering. said that it was a reunion, but in fact, it was to boast of his honor.

I remember that at that time, Xie Ning was very inconspicuous among the crowd, and Liang Meiren was surrounded by the stars like the moon, and the companions who entered the palace together had countless good words. Even this scenery came and went quickly, and within a few days after that party, Li Cairen was fortunate and promoted to Zhaorong.

And Liang Meiren was gradually forgotten.

At this time, when he received a post from Wangyun Pavilion again, Xie Ning felt very surprised.

"I don't think Liang Meiren will post you for no reason. Talented, what is written on it? ”

Xie Ning opened the invitation and glanced at it: "Invite me to go to Wangyun Pavilion tomorrow to enjoy the camellias." ”

Neither Shainin nor Qinghe would believe this reason.

I usually don't have any friendship, and I haven't heard that Liang Meiren has a preference for flowers and grass, so if you don't invite you early or late, you invite someone at this time, where is it for flower appreciation.

"Are you going?" Qinghe was unhappy in his eyes.

What is Liang Meiren's mind, it is simply the lice on the bald head. She has fallen out of favor for a long time, and the courtyard of Wangyun Pavilion is cold, and the scenery when she was crowned a beauty has long been forgotten. Even if her rank is higher than Shainin, she can only get everything if she is favored in the palace, and if she loses favor, she will lose everything. Shainin is now a good time for the spring breeze to be proud, and Liang Meiren is like a wood that has been burned, the fire is extinguished and cold, and no one cares.

There is no good feast, there will be no good feast. What could Liang Meiren ask her for? Looking at her current situation, jealous? Or like Liu Cairen and Bai Meiren, begging her for help?

Xie Ning thought for a while: "She is a beauty, I am a talented person, and I have officially posted it, and I still have to go." ”

Qinghe thinks about it. Liang Meiren has been out of favor for a long time, but how can I say that her grade is also high.

"I don't know if Wangyun Pavilion will invite someone else tomorrow? Why don't you go and inquire? ”

"Okay, there you go."

Qinghe is not the same now as it was in the past. In the past, she was only unknown, and no one paid attention to her, the palace maid. But as soon as the talent was favored, the tide rose, and her face also rose. As soon as she walked out of the door of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, many people rushed to her sister before and after her sister. She didn't need to ask, someone took the initiative to tell her some news.

Of course, Liang Meiren invited more than Xie Ning, it is said that the palace maids of Wangyun Pavilion went to several places to send posts today, and the guests invited were all those who entered the palace in the same batch, including Liu Cairen, Feng Cairen, Sun Cainu, and Li Zhaorong who moved away from Yingde Pavilion.

Li Zhaorong was the one of the people who entered the palace at that time, and now he is the one with the highest rank. She moved out of the back garden after she was promoted, and now she lives in the side hall of Zhaoqing Palace in the north of the West Garden, and she has long distanced herself from these obscure low-grade old companions who live in the back garden.

Xie Ning hadn't seen Li Zhaorong for a long time. I remember that when Cai Xuan first entered the palace, they were all temporarily placed in Changxi Courtyard near the Ye Ting, and like ordinary palace maids, several people lived in one room, and Li Zhaorong and Xie Ning lived in the same room at that time, it can't be said that the friendship is deep, but there is also some friendship.

But this friendship is very thin, and it disperses as soon as the wind blows. After leaving Changxi Courtyard and having their own residences, there were gradually fewer contacts. After Li Zhaorong was favored and promoted, he had no contact at all.

Shainin's temperament is like this. If you can get along, you can get along, the road is not the same, and she is getting farther and farther away, and she doesn't force it.

"Please, please, people may not appreciate it." Qinghe took out the clothes that Xie Ning was going to wear tomorrow and examined them carefully, and found that there were a little wrinkles in the sleeves, so he quickly asked Qingmei to take a iron to iron it evenly.

Don't look at the details, but don't be sloppy.

On such an occasion, the talent of the family is an upstart, and the clothes should be more beautiful and luxurious. But the talented man himself had already picked out his clothes, so Qinghe didn't say much.

Xie Ning got up early in the morning and put on a little rouge, so that no matter what the atmosphere was at that time, in short, the person looked good. Qinghe opened the jewelry box for her to choose, Xie Ning chose a Pisces hanging bead step, thought about it and put it down, and picked another bead flower.

This bead flower is also good, the workmanship is exquisite, but the materials are limited, the water jade and agate on it are generally colored, but after being put together into a flower shape, it looks very coordinated and elegant, and the flower receptacle, fine leaves and vines are all very exquisite. After Qinghe made the hairpin for her, Xie Ning adjusted it himself.

It looks good, it's certainly not luxurious, but it's not decent.

Changing into clothes to go out, Qinghe served Xie Ning out of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion and went to Wangyun Pavilion to attend the meeting.
