To send away this group of guests with unknown intentions, Xie Ning first used a bowl of sherbet and waited for lunch to be delivered.

Let's just say that a pregnant woman has a strange and elusive appetite. She especially craves sweet things these days, and a slight sourness is even better. When I think of the bowl of hawthorn soup I have eaten in previous years, my saliva is three feet long. But she can't eat hawthorn now, so she can only substitute it with other fruits.

Qinghe took the empty bowl, handed her warm water and asked her to rinse her mouth, and carefully persuaded: "Master doesn't need to take what Gao Jieyu just said to heart, nothing is as precious as your body now." ”

Xie Ning smiled: "Do you think I'm stupid?" They are not happy to see another newcomer in the palace, or the concubine's family. Listening to Gao Jieyu's meaning, she is young and beautiful, and she has the habit of mentioning the emperor's preferences and habits of the concubine, which is different from the newcomers next to her. ”

The days when the emperor came to the harem were not many, and if the newcomer took the limelight, it was difficult for the old man to pick up some leftovers and roast.

Xie Ning had no intention of being a gunman for others.

Hearing Gao Jieyu praise the two girls for being beautiful and cute, she did have a sour feeling in her heart for a moment. These two Lin girls are both beautiful ladies from the capital family, and if they can be sent to the palace, they should be the top of the top, and they must be much stronger than her. Concubine Shu has served the emperor for many years, and she should be more familiar with the emperor's preferences and tastes than others. The conditions themselves are excellent, and they know how to do what they like, and they are favored and see that it is just around the corner.

But she soon wanted to open it.

As early as the first time she accompanied the pet, she foresaw that this day would come eventually, and new people were constantly selected in the palace.

And she also got a treasure that belonged only to her.

At lunch, Xie Ning's appetite was not affected at all, and the dishes for lunch today in the dining room were still sumptuous and not extravagant. According to Xie Ning's current routine, it is too much to eat like this, but she is pregnant now, and the people in the dining room are very good at figuring out what she wants. Now these days, even the emperor's meal has to give way to Xie Meiren, and try to make her eat happily and comfortably. As long as Xie Meiren eats well, the emperor is happier than he eats.

And Xie Meiren is actually easy to serve, and her taste is not tricky, but the taste of pregnant people is more changeable. Today's crispy fish, ruyi rolls, sesame mixed with shepherd's cabbage, and tea-flavored mushroom soup are all Xie Ning's favorites. The crispy fish skin is slightly sweet and sour, and it tastes crispy and raw and has the unique elasticity of the fish skin. The cabbage sum and shredded radish rolled in the Ruyi roll are quite crisp and greasy. Sesame mixed with shepherd's cabbage is a seasonal wild vegetable that is difficult to appear in the palace, and Xie Ning especially likes this. She didn't eat less of these when she was at home before.

There are no crispy fresh vegetables to eat all winter, and these small green wild vegetables are particularly precious and rare in early spring. There are many ways to eat shepherd's cabbage, stir-fried and mixed to eat to make steamed buns and dumplings, poor people will use mixed noodles and crushed shepherd's cabbage to steam dumplings together, go to the field to work or go out will carry two, both as vegetables and rice to satisfy hunger.

After entering the palace, I couldn't eat this, but I didn't expect to see it again today.

The plate of cold cabbage was almost eaten by Xie Ning, and finally there was a bowl of delicious mushroom soup. It is said that these mushrooms are born in tea gardens, and I don't know if this is the reason, but they are particularly fragrant and delicious to drink.

Fang Shanggong saw that she was eating deliciously, and his heart was much more steady.

Gao Jieyu's group of people really didn't have any good intentions. They are very jealous of the newcomer, but they refuse to offend the concubine, and they may send out as many as they want in front of the concubine. turned around and ran to Yong'an Palace to provoke. If Xie Ning is pampered and arrogant because he is pregnant, and what he says and does in front of the emperor, it is certain that he will have a grudge against the concubine, and the emperor will probably not like the jealous words and deeds of women. In this way, killing two birds with one stone, Gao Jieyu and the others will definitely laugh crooked when they know it.

In their thoughts, even if Xie Ning was not provoked by them to go to the emperor to find trouble, it would make her feel uncomfortable and affect her and the child in her womb, then Gao Jieyu and they would also be satisfied.

They wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, but Xie Meiren didn't do what they wanted.

Fang Shanggong held Qingmei's hand, reviewed all the things that Xie Ning was going to use for bathing after waking up from a nap, and nodded his head to indicate that these things could be used.

After the Hand Stove Incident, Fang Shanggong was more and more careful than before, and he had to personally see everything he ate and drank. In this way, she will inevitably be tired, but she is really relieved if she is not.

Qinghe and Qingmei discussed, and Qingmei served Fang Shanggong even more dedicatedly. Fang Shanggong's ability was cultivated in the palace for decades, and young people like them who hadn't experienced much couldn't catch up, this was not something that could be learned in just a few days or months.

At that time, Fang Shanggong came and said that he was waiting for Xie Meiren to give birth. To put it bluntly, Fang Shanggong is not a slave of Xie Meiren, she is only seconded to use it, and when she is born, Fang Shanggong's errand will be over, her position is in the Needlework Bureau, and she is likely to return to work as an errand.

Of course, Qinghe Qingmei was reluctant to let her go. Fang Shanggong was really too old and spicy, and the two of them learned a lot of things from it. If only Fang Shanggong could stay for a long time.

But they were afraid that Fang Shanggong would not want to stay when the time came.

Fang Shanggong's physical condition at this age, he doesn't have to do any work in the Needle Work Bureau, that is, he is pension, and there is no risk. If she stays in Yong'an Palace, her rank will not be promoted, and at her age, she will also look down on the scenery of authority, but it is very risky.

If people refuse to stay, it is a matter of course. Like the last time the hand stove happened again, who knows who will be implicated?

The dinner was also used by Xie Ning himself, Hu Rong was well-informed, and knew that the emperor was going to Yanning Palace for dinner, and he didn't talk much when he came back.

In the past, the emperor often went to Yanning Palace, sometimes he came back after seeing Princess Yuyao, and sometimes he went to Yong'an Palace for dinner, and rarely stayed in Yanning Palace.

But today it may be. When the concubine takes advantage of the emperor to watch the children, it is likely that she will use means to leave people behind, but the person who sleeps at night does not know which one it is.

You don't have to tell your master about this kind of news, but you don't have to listen to it.

Hu Rong looked down on Concubine Shu for doing this kind of thing that she would find her sister and nephew as a helper to compete for favor when she was old, but he was a eunuch, what did it matter if he didn't see it? The important thing is whether the emperor can see it?

Most of the time it's watchable.

is both young and beautiful, and noble-born, I heard that the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all connected, such a beauty is liked by men, right?

Fang Shanggong walked over slowly with a cane, Hu Rong quickly got up and went over to help her: "Why did your old man come over?" Say hello if there's anything you want, and let us do the errands. ”

Fang Shanggong asked, "Hot water ready?" Then let the dining room watch and prepare two dishes that the emperor loves to eat, and heat a few snacks. ”

Hu Rongting wondered: "The emperor has dinner in Yanning Palace, let's still prepare a meal?" "And the emperor is afraid that he will not be able to come at night, and it is in vain to prepare for this.

"If you are told to go, you will go and prepare it."

Hu Rong hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, I'll go and say it." ”

Most people of the age want to do things properly, even if the emperor doesn't come, they have to be prepared to rest assured. Anyway, no one dares to say half a word even if they throw away things.

Hu Rong went to the dining room and came back, but before he arrived at Yong'an Palace, he saw the emperor coming over at Anhong Gate.

Hu Rongsheng was afraid that he had seen it wrong, so he rubbed his eyes vigorously. Why did the emperor come over? Even if you don't stay overnight and only eat, it's a little early to come over at this time, how fast will you eat this night?

He knelt there and waited, the royal chariot stopped in front of him, and Bai Hongqi greeted him with a smile: "It looks like you from afar, why are you waiting here?" ”

Hu Rong hurriedly said, "The little one went to the dining room and just came back." ”

Bai Hongqi told him to get up and walk forward with the imperial chariot. Hu Rong wanted to inquire about it, but he also knew that he couldn't talk nonsense, especially the emperor's affairs. Besides, Bai Hongqi can't ask anything in his mouth, so it's better to save effort and work elsewhere.

By the way, Fang Shanggong may know. She just ordered to go to the meal to prepare a meal and snacks for the emperor, could it be that Fang Shanggong is more well-informed than herself?

Hu Rong quickened his pace, almost trotting to keep up and not falling behind.

Don't talk about Hu Rong, even Xie Ning was surprised when he heard the report that the emperor was coming.

When this hour comes, is it possible that the emperor hasn't had dinner yet?

She greeted her at the door, and just bent her knees, the emperor had already arrived in front of her and grabbed her: "I told you not to care about these etiquettes, be careful of startling the child." ”

Shainin said: "How can it be so easy to be surprised. ”

The emperor took her into the house and asked, "Have you had dinner?" What are you using? ”

"Tonight's sweet soup is good." Xie Ning asked, "Do you want to taste it?" ”

"Then let someone bring it up, and a few more."

Xie Ning was very surprised, could it be that the emperor hadn't eaten yet?

Because Hu Rong had already instructed, the actions of the dining room were swift, and the emperor changed his clothes and sat down to have a sip of tea, and the dining table was set.

Hu Rong threw himself to the ground with the five bodies that Fang Shanggong simply admired, and he really wanted to kneel and kowtow to his master to learn this kind of skill.

It's hard to judge what the emperor likes to use, but they are also very good at tricks. The emperor likes to dine with Xie Meiren, so even if the two don't all have the same taste, most of them can be satisfied. So I picked up a few more dishes for Xie Meiren's dinner, and sent them together with sweet soup.

The sweet soup is steaming hot and has a rich aroma. The emperor put a bowl and stirred it with a spoon, the fruits, nuts and other things in the soup are already about to be stewed, the taste is sweet and thick like honey, the fruit is about to melt without chewing on the tip of the tongue, and the whole person feels very comfortable when drinking it hot.

"Yes, it's easy to get angry in early spring, and drinking this is comfortable and lowers fire."

Xie Ning accompanied the emperor to dine on the side, and it was useless to serve the eunuchs with her. At noon, the mixed shepherd's cabbage was served on another plate, and the emperor really liked this dish very much.

"The study is almost tidy up, do you want the emperor to move over and take a look at what else needs to be added or subtracted? and tell them to hurry up and pack it up. ”

The emperor replied.

This winter was so cold that several water pipes burst throughout the building, and unfortunately the water kept leaking as soon as one household was uninhabited all year round.
