Qingmei looked in front of the gate of Yong'an Palace, and when she saw Hu Rong leading people through Changde Gate, she turned around and ran back.

"It's coming, it's coming."

Fang Shanggong glanced at her: "Be steady, what do you look like." ”

Qingmei hurriedly stopped and replied according to the rules: "Mrs. Lin has arrived." ”

Xie Ning had no time to take care of Qingmei, and she saw her eldest aunt at a glance in the crowd.

The eldest aunt held back her tears and insisted on finishing the salute before being supported by Qinghe and seated.

Qingmei is very curious, this Mrs. Lin has heard her master mention it more than once, and now she finally sees the real person. Mrs. Lin is older than the last time she saw the aunt of the Xie family, wearing a blue longevity pattern trimmed embroidered grass, slightly old-fashioned, the sideburns have been sporadic white, thin grease powder, and generous. In contrast, the last time I saw Xie Liu, she was like a matchmaker with heavy makeup, although her clothes and accessories were gorgeous, she was so awkward to wear them, not at all like her own clothes, all like stealing other people's things.

"You've grown up." The eldest aunt hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and yesterday the inner palace supervisor went to the two of them to tell her about entering the palace, and also practiced how to salute twice to greet her. One of the most important points is that it is taboo to cry in the palace: "How have you been in the past few years?" ”

"I'm fine, everything is fine." Xie Ning took a deep breath, there were still tears in his eyes, but he was no longer as incoherent as yesterday: "I used to live in the back garden, a very quiet place, and the people in the dining room are very good at cooking, and they can also make mixed noodles and hot cakes from our hometown." During the Chinese New Year, I moved to Yong'an Palace, and the place is also spacious, with a small garden......"

Mrs. Lin looked at her carefully.

The silhouette is still vaguely the same as before, and the eyebrows, eyes and face have not changed, but they are different from the past.

She has grown up and her appearance has changed a lot, but Mrs. Lin can recognize it at a glance.

This is the child she has always seen since she was a child. The sister-in-law has a soft temperament, and the family has found a husband for her, and the husband and wife are loving. But who would have thought that her life was so bad, the child had no father as soon as she landed, and her mother-in-law's family couldn't tolerate them, so the mother and daughter returned to the Lin family in embarrassment. Mrs. Lin remembered that it was still a rainy day, and the sister-in-law was holding an umbrella and holding the child, but the wind was too strong and the umbrella could not stop the rain, and both of them were soaked. Adults are so good at roasting the fire, children don't dare to get close to the fire, Mrs. Lin untied the child's clothes and put it in her arms to warm her.

Now that I think about it, it feels like it happened just yesterday.

Mrs. Lin's gaze went down and fell on her bulging belly.

"I'm going to give birth in April." Shainin whispered.

"Your Majesty, how are you treated?" Mrs. Lin's nose was sour.

"The emperor treats me very well."

How do you call it good? How many women are there in the palace? has to compete for favor with so many people, and when you are not favored, you will inevitably be bullied, and you can't deal with the open guns and arrows when you are favored.

The Xie family's family is not a person at all, but anyone who has a little human heart can't do such a thing.

"How are you at home? How is your uncle? What about my brother and sister-in-law? How is my sister? ”

"It's all good, it's all good." Mrs. Lin said unhurriedly: "Your uncle is not very accustomed to the weather there when he arrives in the north, and he always coughs when he has a wind in the first winter, so he finds a home remedy for him to eat reed root and cook soup, he doesn't like it to taste, but he is finally getting better." Your brother has added another daughter, and your sister has given birth to a son, and she will be called a man. ”

"I sent people back to my hometown a few times, but the Xie family only said that you are still serving the old lady's illness, but you can't see anyone. When I went back to my hometown to find the door, they would admit that you were no longer at Xie's house. Mrs. Lin was so angry that she couldn't speak, looking at the hypocritical and shameless face of the old lady of the Xie family, she almost couldn't control herself from doing anything with her.

At that moment, Mrs. Lin regretted it so much, she shouldn't have believed the Xie family's nonsense at that time, and left Xie Ning alone in the Xie family. At that time, even if she had a bad relationship with the Xie family, she should have been taken away with her, and no matter what, she would find a good family to entrust her for life.

But it's too late to say that now.

"When did you enter Beijing? Where do you land now? Are you going to Beijing on your own? Who did you bring with you to serve you on the road? ”

Shainin's questions were one after another, and she wanted to know everything. Mrs. Lin also had countless things to ask her, but she was so worried that she couldn't ask any of them.

Fang Shanggong played a round on the side and spoke for Xie Ning: "Since I knew that Mrs. Lin was coming, Xie Meiren was restless, and I didn't sleep well at night. ”

Mrs. Lin knew that the identity of this escort was extraordinary, and said politely: "I must have bothered you a lot." ”

Fang Shanggong went out after drinking a cup of tea with him, leaving Mrs. Lin and Xie Ning in the house very considerately.

She had barely gone out of the house when she heard a cry coming from inside the house.

She also felt uncomfortable when she cried.

Others see that there is the world's first-class glory and wealth in this palace, but not everyone is born in this world to chase this kind of thing. The women who enter the palace have to endure the torture of being separated from their relatives, and they have no chance to return to their hometown in this life.

Mrs. Lin persuaded Xie Ning to collect her tears, and wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Don't cry so willfully, you are not a little girl now, you are a mother, you have to think more about your children." If you cry like this, the child will also be uncomfortable. It's a happy event that we can meet today, and we should be happy. ”

Xie Ning blew his nose and whispered: "I was very scared when I entered the palace, when I lived in the Yeting Palace, I occasionally heard someone crying at night, and there was a strange laugh like a madman, some people said that it was a woman in the palace when the emperor was the emperor, and she was locked up in the courtyard behind the Yeting Palace and waited for death." I had nightmares for days and nights, dreaming that I was also locked up there, the walls were so high that the sun couldn't even shine, and it was pitch black everywhere......"

She hadn't said these words to anyone else, and after a long time, she thought she was about to forget something, but I don't know why I remembered it again today, and I just said it.

"At the beginning, there were three people living in Yingxiang Pavilion, one suddenly fell ill and died, and the other moved away, so I didn't dare to go to the back yard."

Mrs. Lin took Xie Ning in her arms in distress. These things make people feel worried, how old was Shainin at that time? There is no one close to me who can talk, and no matter how afraid I am, I can only support myself.

"Later, I slowly got used to it, and I still felt homesick, but I didn't think about it and secretly hid in the bed at night and cried. I also want to send a letter home, but there is no reliable person to support, and the road is too far. Xie Ning whispered: "Then I served the emperor." The emperor treated me very well, really well. Shainin repeated it twice.

Mrs. Lin knew that she was taking care of the eldest child single-handedly, and her heart sank slightly.

This stupid girl seems to really like the emperor.

If she marries an ordinary family and the husband and wife are in love, then it will be too late for Mrs. Lin to be happy. But now she is a harem concubine, the emperor has so many concubines, her family background is not obvious, and she is not particularly beautiful and outstanding, and now the emperor treats her well, but also treats others well. When the emperor slowly forgets about her in the future, what will she do?

She was still pregnant with a child, and Mrs. Lin looked at her belly with joy and sorrow.

Whether she has a child, she is a dependent. In the future, even if the deep palace is lonely, there is still a child to sustenance. But now that there are few children in the palace, whether this child can be kept and whether he can grow up safely, Mrs. Lin has no bottom in her heart.

Hu Rong went to the dining room. Today's Mrs. Lin is different from Xie Liu's last time, she must have to keep the meal, the people in the dining room patted their chests to ensure that this meal was served well, and asked Hu Rong where the lady who inquired about was from, and whether she had any favorite tastes.

Hu Rong didn't inquire about this, but he thought differently from the people in the dining room: "We can't make people's hometown dishes so authentic, right?" I see that the distinguished guest has come from afar, and it would be better to make some dishes of our capital style and invite her to try them. When the distinguished guest family went, others asked what they saw and ate in the capital, did they say that they ate two hometown dishes after entering the palace? ”

So what else is there to boast about when entering the palace?

The people in the dining room suddenly looked like they were stunned, patted their heads, and said that they had a pig brain, and they didn't understand what was going on, thanks to the guidance of Father-in-law Hu.

Hu Rong would not take such a compliment seriously, smiled politely, and handed over a purse.

The person on the other side hurriedly refused: "Where can I make Gonggong Hu break the bank, Xie Meiren's share is what Gonggong Bai ordered, as long as there is something in the library, you must do your best to worship it." ”

"This is what the master ordered, you are also working hard these days, these are a part of the master's heart, invite Gonggong Song and several other brothers to drink tea."

Since he said that, Eunuch Song also took his purse. sent Hu Rong away, turned around and called everyone together and began to distribute work.

The capital is the richest and most prosperous place in the world, and the background of the word food and clothing is not comparable to other places. Since I am going to entertain Xie Meiren's relatives and elders today, I naturally have to work hard to show my real skills.

There are also a lot of hills in the dining room, and several big stewards have their own special skills. These specialty dishes are not necessarily precious and rare delicacies from the mountains and seas, on the contrary, they are good at what they can eat on a daily basis. For example, Eunuch Song himself, one of his specialties is a dish of roasted tofu with cabbage. There is also an old eunuch in the dining room, but there is a unique skill is steamed egg custard, the steamed egg custard is soft and delicate, and it is extremely delicious, and others can't learn it if they want to.

Mrs. Lin accompanied Xie Ning to have lunch together, and before the table was set up, Bai Hongqi came to Yong'an Palace by order, and the emperor came over with four dishes. Bai Hongqi also smiled and told Xie Mei's body to be inconvenient, and the emperor said that there was no need to thank her.

If the food appreciation is nothing, Bai Hongqi ran again after lunch and sent another reward from the emperor, which was for Mrs. Lin.
