Xie Ning was holding a bowl of soup and had a mouthful of it. These days, she has soup at every meal, and even the staple food is about to become soup, and now she feels quite helpless when she sees the soup.

The emperor felt amused when he saw it, looked at the table, brought the plate containing chestnut cakes, took a piece and handed it to her: "Eat this." Sprinkle with frosting you should like. ”

The cake handed by the emperor himself, even if it is sprinkled with arsenic, you have to eat it.

And she also likes chestnut cakes. This chestnut cake is also the specialty of the white case master in the dining room, full of chestnut fragrance, melts in the mouth, and the frosting on the surface is sweet and not greasy.

A piece of cake is not big, and she finished eating it in two or three bites, she wiped her fingers and asked casually: "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Princess Yuyao for a while, I don't know if I have grown taller, and our second prince has never seen his eldest sister." ”

The emperor was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "It's not simple, wait for the second prince to have a lively time when the moon is full, and let their sisters and brothers meet." ”

Xie Ning thought, this is also the love between the sisters and brothers of the Heavenly Family, it would be good to see each other once in a month, but it is unimaginable in ordinary people's homes. But then again, thinking about it this way, it's no wonder that the emperor and Princess Mingshou don't have a deep relationship, although they are two sisters and brothers, but it's rare to even meet each other, where can you cultivate affection?

The dining table was removed, and the emperor asked her, "Have you tried the new clothes sent by the Needlework Bureau?" Does it still fit? ”

"It fits perfectly." Xie Ning said with a smile: "Spring is over in the blink of an eye, and all I have sent this time are summer clothes." I like the embroidered camellia, but the skirt is very long, I'm afraid it's not very convenient. ”

"Let the palace people hold it for you, just wait for the full moon banquet when you wear it out and make an appearance." The emperor doesn't care about this, only the clothes will be the people, but instead of the clothes, he will let the people go to the clothes. Since it is said that the full moon of the second prince, the emperor also mentioned how to handle the full moon banquet.

"The inner palace supervisor handed over the fold and said that the full moon banquet was held in the Qianqiu Palace, what do you see?"

Xie Ning himself doesn't like to be public, but since the second prince is a prince, this is the pomp and decency he should have, and it is impossible for Xie Ning to save this banquet for his son for fear of extravagance and extravagance, otherwise others will not say that she is thrifty, but think that the emperor will not want to see this son, then it will be troublesome.

"The concubine doesn't understand this, the emperor is in charge."

The emperor nodded: "At that time, even your gift of promotion will be done together." ”

Xie Ning was stunned: "Jin Feng? ”

The emperor glanced at her with a smile, and Xie Ning's face turned a little red.

The harem girl wants to be promoted to the title in addition to her qualifications, but also to talk about merit like the previous dynasty. Children are their credit, and having a child is like a general winning a battle, and the emperor will naturally be rewarded.

It's just that how you think about it feels a little awkward.

"The dress you wore when you were promoted has already been made by people, and I sent you to try it out in the past few days."

Xie Ning hung his head and replied yes.

The emperor found that she was not overjoyed by the promotion. It's not that it's pretending to be indifferent, it's that I really don't care so much.

This is different from others again.

The emperor took her hand and leaned in and kissed her lightly on the lips.

She had a faint smell of milk, her hair was scattered, she was wearing only a satin-trimmed blouse with a peach heart collar, her eyes were clear and bright, and she sat quietly beside him.

Through the window, the rain was murmuring outside, and the wind chimes in the eaves were tinkling in the wind.

When it rained, the emperor would not go back, so he stayed in Yong'an Palace. After Bai Hongqi waited for the emperor to rest, Hu Rong greeted him at the right time: "The bed is made, the hot water is also fought, the little one is waiting for you to burn your feet, right?" You also happened to point out my craft, and I learned to pinch my shoulders and feet, but I am afraid that you will not be able to look down on this little skill. ”

At the end of the day today, Bai Hongqi did have some backache and leg pain, so he nodded along the water, and he was kind and pleasant when he talked to Hu Rong. Xie Meiren will be promoted every few days, and her identity is different from now. Hu Rong is also outstanding in Yong'an Palace, and Bai Hongqi does not reject this good fate.

Besides, Hu Rong is smart, smart, and a good seedling.

Hu Rong came over with a tea bowl in his own hand: "Grandpa Bai, you taste this tea." Don't be afraid of drinking tea and not sleeping well at night, this tea can also help you sleep. ”

Bai Hongqi took it and tasted it: "The taste is light, is it this year's new tea?" ”

Hu Rong smiled and nodded.

Bai Hongqi, the new tea on this year's tribute, has a number in his heart, and there are few people in the harem who can touch the edge, but it is not uncommon to see it in Yong'an Palace.

Hu Rong fetched hot water to burn his feet, took off his coat and stood behind him to beat Bai Hongqi's shoulder. I have to say that this kid has good skills, and Bai Hongqi's two apprentices often serve him like this, but they are familiar with it, Hu Rong has obviously just learned, and it would be good to have this kind of fire.

Hu Rong twisted a hot hand towel and put it on Bai Hongqi's face. As soon as the hot towel was covered, Bai Hongqi breathed a long sigh of relief. In the end, the age is not forgiving, and at the end of the day, the whole body is hard, and even the face is wooden, which is steamed by the heat, and I feel that my consciousness is slowly coming to life.

After such a hot foot and a beating on the shoulder, I was able to sleep well at night. Ming'er didn't have a big court, and the emperor didn't have to get up early, but Bai Hongqi couldn't relax.

Hu Rong waited for Bai Hongqi to sleep before he returned to the house, his identity is different now, not only can he be regarded as the number one person among the eunuchs in Yong'an Palace, but he is even somewhat decent in the palace, and others are very face-saving when he goes out to run errands.

Hu Rong understands that this is called a rising tide, or rather, a person is enlightened, and the chicken and dog are also decent. He's barely the dog.

There were also people in the house who made a mattress for him and made hot water, Hu Rong finished scalding his feet and lay down, but he couldn't sleep for a while, so he sorted out what he had done today in his heart, and then smoothed out what he had to do today.

He was most concerned about the affairs of Yanning Palace.

The emperor came from Yanning Palace, and Hu Rong couldn't help but guess what the emperor was doing in Yanning Palace, of course he didn't go to see Princess Yuyao.

That's to see Concubine Shu, right? Concubine Shu must be crying and begging to defend herself, right? What about the emperor? Will Concubine Shu simply be deposed and executed, or will he remember the old relationship and tolerate her for the sake of Princess Yuyao?

Princess Yuyao has moved out, and Yanning Palace is equivalent to having sealed the palace. But as long as the Lin family outside the palace does not fall, the concubine will not completely collapse, and there must be a chance to turn over.

Although the matter is now a matter of the harem, it depends on the situation outside the palace. Fang Shanggong told him at the beginning, don't inquire about this matter and don't try to interfere, it's not something they can do.

Hu Rong took a deep breath and forcibly removed this matter from his head.

Every time he thought he had climbed another step, he found that there were many more limitations around him. When he still had nothing, he thought that as long as he mixed up and reached the status of Zhou Yuchen, he would be omnipotent. But now he knows that Zhou Yuchen is actually looking ahead and backward in doing things, even in the one-acre and three-point land in the back garden, his words are not 100% effective, and more things have to be discussed and weighed. If you want to do something, you can't think about how much you can get out of it, but you have to think about how much you have to pay to get it done.

Sometimes you don't even get as much as you give, but when you reach a certain status, you can't stop doing some things.

It can be seen that even Bai Hongqi, even the emperor, is afraid that most of the time he can't help himself, doing things against his will, and saying insincere words.

But everybody still has to climb up and trample everyone else under their feet.

In the early morning, the rain had stopped, and the emperor had breakfast and left, and hugged the second prince again before leaving. As soon as the emperor left, Fang Shanggong said: "The previous princes and princesses, I haven't heard that the emperor has such a partiality, let alone hugging it with his own hands." ”

Xie Ning smiled and discussed with Fang Shanggong: "The emperor said last night that the full moon banquet will be held in the Qianqiu Palace. ”

Fang Shanggong nodded: "This is as it should be, remember the emperor at that time...... It was also held in the Qianqiu Palace, but I remember that it was a 100-day banquet. In the past few years, there are not many children in the palace, the eldest prince is not in good health, Princess Yuyao and Princess Yujun are daughters, and that cannot be equated, so the Qianqiu Palace has not been so lively for many years, and it must have taken a lot of effort to repair and arrange. ”

It turns out that the eldest prince didn't hold a banquet at that time?

"Isn't there a full moon or a hundred days?"

She was clueless when she asked, but Fang Shanggong knew very well what she was asking.

"No, the eldest prince has been taking medicine since birth, I remember that when the moon was almost full, everyone in the palace said that the child was going to die, and of course it was impossible to do it at that time. Until the first year old, it is somewhat better than before, but it is limited. ”

Xie Ning had only seen the eldest prince once or twice, but he also felt that this child had the word "sick and weak" written on his face.

But in this way, isn't the second prince too conspicuous?

But Xie Ning also understands that even if this full moon banquet is not held, will the second prince not be conspicuous?

She didn't want this kind of limelight, but she couldn't avoid it.

The palace maid at the door reported: "Mrs. Lin is here." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mrs. Lin walked in quickly, she rarely couldn't hold her breath like this, Xie Ning asked with some surprise: "Uncle, what's wrong?" ”

Mrs. Lin took out an envelope from her sleeve: "Your little uncle has sent a letter, he has arrived in the capital." ”

"Huh?" This time, Xie Ning was also stunned, and hurriedly took the letter and read it.

said that it was a letter, but in fact, it was more like a note, and he wrote a few lines, which was indeed the handwriting of the little uncle, saying that he arrived in the capital two days ago, and then he knew that Mrs. Lin was in the palace and asked someone to send the letter in. The letter also said that it was already known that Xie Ning gave birth to the second prince safely.

Xie Ning was surprised and delighted, but he didn't expect his little uncle to come to the capital without a sound.

There is another point that makes Xie Ning feel quite strange in his heart.

The little uncle knew that she had given birth to a child before she met them, could it be said that she was a celebrity in Beijing?
