The emperor picked up the fold again, but his mind was obviously not on business.

He watched Shainin's movements seriously, she cut the cotton cloth according to the paper pattern, and then began to sew stitches and threads.

Xie Ning was uncomfortable with him, and felt that he should explain one or two.

"This cloth was specially asked by the concubine from Qi Shanggong, and there is not much cloth, so it can't be wasted. Children's clothes are easier to make, no embroidery, no collars, but you have to be careful to hide the thread inside, otherwise it will grind the child. ”

"Who taught you all this? Did you learn this when you were at home? ”

"Nope." Xie Ning smiled: "When I was at home, my aunt spoiled me too much, I patronized and played every day like my cousin, they still have homework, and I don't have to take professional exams, except for playing or playing, I haven't learned anything that should be learned at all." In the past few days, I have learned a lot from Fang Shang Palace and Qi Shang Palace. ”

She sewed for a long time, and only sewed the front and back pieces, and the two sleeves had to wait for tomorrow.

Qinghe and the others fetched water and came in to serve the emperor and Xie Ning to freshen up, and Xie Ning sat in front of the mirror and took off the hairpin and earrings.

The emperor leaned on the edge of the couch and watched her movements. When Xie Ning raised his arm to take off the earrings, the small earlobes were crystal clear by the candlelight, as delicate and beautiful as a seashell.

She noticed that someone was watching her behind her, and she turned her face to the side and smiled.

The emperor couldn't help but laugh too.

The two of them lay upright, but the emperor's hand twisted and twisted on her ear, as if he was playing with some treasure and weapon.

"Itchy......" Shainin's voice trembled a little.

The emperor's movements stopped, but his hand was still in place and did not move, and he asked softly: "When did you pierce your ears and eyes?" ”

Shainin thought about it for a moment: "When I was ten years old. ”

"Why is it so late?" The emperor originally asked in passing, but he felt strange when he heard her answer.

"When I was a child, I was afraid of pain, and my aunt asked my uncle to stop me several times when she wanted to prick my ears and eyes. Later, when I got older, when I went out, someone always asked, it was really not like words, and my uncle couldn't stop me anymore, so my aunt stabbed me. ”

The emperor didn't feel that there was anything about ear piercings in the past, but now he feels a little pity. The round and flawless ear beads are like natural treasures, and they always feel that they are artificially added to the flaw by piercing a hole. "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt. I have to choose three or nine days for my ears and eyes, and my ears are frozen when it's cold, and I don't feel much. Besides, it's not easy to get stuck when it's cold. ”

Of course, the emperor had never heard of this kind of trivial matter of the little girl's family before, and he never cared about it, but now listening to her tell it so eloquently, it was as if he had really seen this scene in front of him.

What did she look like when she was ten years old? Did you cry when you pierced your ears and eyes? Coquettish no?

I'd love to take a look.

Listening to the wind outside the window, it tightened again, and the emperor finally retracted his hand with great mercy, and Xie Ning quickly rubbed his ears a few times.

The emperor took her hand and put it back in the quilt: "Don't make trouble, go to sleep." ”

Who's making trouble?

That's why the thief shouted to catch the thief.

But the long-term awe of the emperor in his heart is still there, and after Xie Ning muttered such a "great disrespect" in his stomach, he moved to the emperor's side with a little weakness.

When she woke up, it was already dawn, and she didn't know when the emperor would leave. Qinghe had been staying by the side, and when he saw her wake up, he quickly got up and came over to serve, while calling someone in.

Xie Ning yawned lazily: "When did the emperor leave, why didn't he call me?" ”

"The emperor is not allowed to scream, saying that you will sleep a little longer. When the emperor left, he also said that you should not only care about needlework, your eyes will not be able to bear it. ”

Xie Ning took the steaming towel and covered it on his face, the heat seemed to penetrate into the skin from every sweat pore, and the whole person seemed to be relaxed, indescribably happy.

If this piece is not hot, change it again, and after boiling these three pieces in a row, Xie Ning washed his face and applied a thin layer of grease to finish the matter. If she doesn't go out, the emperor won't come during the day, and she doesn't even draw her eyebrows.

It's not that I'm lazy, but I think it's good that a face is so clean and refreshing.

Fang Shanggong came in from outside, with a cold body, and stood by the door to take off his cloak.

Xie Ning watched people set up breakfast, and turned his head to see her.

"Fang Shang Palace is here? Have you had breakfast yet? "The implication is that if you don't eat, let's eat some together.

It's all this hour, of course Fang Shanggong won't still have an empty stomach. So Xie Ning could only eat alone, rolled the melon shreds and ham in pancakes, smeared a layer of sauce, and ate very fragrantly. This is best eaten with hot porridge.

Fang Shanggong waited for her to finish eating, and then she replied to today's few things one by one.

One thing is to send someone to Qingyun Palace to send two gifts, after all, Concubine Xian has been bedridden since returning from the day of the winter solstice. Shainin can't go to visit at the moment, but he can't ignore it.

Another thing is that Zhou Yuchen sent someone to say that he was already choosing a nurse for the unborn child in Xie Ning's womb. According to the rule, the prince and the princess must be matched with two to four nursing mothers, and this matter must not be sloppy, and must be prepared as soon as possible.

Hu Rong went to Qingyun Palace in person, and he came back after a short time, and talked back and forth in the first room.

"The things have been delivered, Eunuch Lu of Qingyun Palace said thank you for the master's memory, Concubine Xian Niangniang is fine, but the weather is cold and she is sick and can't go out of the house. also said that when the virtuous concubine Niangniang gets better, she must ask the master to go over and sit often, drink tea and talk. ”

Xie Ning nodded: "Got it, is there anything else to do?" ”

Hu Rong replied: "Concubine Shuniang, Shi Shunyi, and Gao Jieyu also happened to visit Qingyun Palace today. ”

When Hu Rong came out, Concubine Shu and the others went in, and Hu Rong waited on the side, waiting for them to go in before he came back.

Hu Rong knew that his little eunuch was really not worth mentioning in front of Concubine Shu, but he didn't know that someone had noticed him.

After entering Qingyun Palace, Gao Jieyu said to Shi Shunyi: "The eunuch outside the door just now, how did he look at the people in Xiangxiang Pavilion? ”

Shi Shunyi has always been silent, she only said: "I didn't pay attention to it." ”

When it came to Yingxiang Pavilion, Gao Jieyu's heart was also sour.

She felt that she was not too old, but a wave after batch of young, beautiful and flower-like beauties were selected into the palace, one by one. At the winter solstice banquet, she also deliberately looked at Xie Meiren a few times, and the skin was tender as if it would come out of the water if she pinched it.

There was a smell of medicine in Qingyun Palace. There are also charcoal basins in the house, most of them because there are sick people, and it is hotter than the place next to it. Gao Jieyu frowned, wanting to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but she also knew that she couldn't do that.

Concubine Shu invited a few of them to visit Qingyun Palace, but Gao Jieyu didn't want to come. As soon as she heard that the emperor had stayed in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion last night, she panicked. Second, Concubine Xian's coughing and asthma is very good, and Gao Jieyu felt uncomfortable as soon as she heard her coughing sound coming from the inside.
