51. Trivia
When she first entered the palace, she was very unaccustomed to this kind of life like a caged bird, she didn't even have a person to talk to, and she opened her eyes every day and waited for it to get dark, day after day, year after year.
But that was in the past, not anymore.
She was suddenly noticed by the emperor, and now she is pregnant.
She finally had something worth writing home about to her elders and relatives.
She's going to have a baby too.
Her father died early, and the Xie family couldn't tolerate their mother and daughter, so she followed her mother back to her grandfather's house to live. Her uncles and aunts treated her as their own, but whenever there was anything good or good, they were all done to her, and the cousins and cousins retreated. Not only that, because she has no father, her mother is a widow, and the whole family avoids mentioning the words widowhood and loneliness in front of her, so as not to touch the scene.
After her mother also died, her aunt treated her better, and even her eldest cousin protected her inside and out, for fear that she would be wronged by others. Even when her aunt's niece and nephew came to visit, she half-truthfully complained about her cousin's partiality, they were all cousins, but they were only good to Xie Ning, and they were far inferior to her.
Before she entered the palace, her eldest cousin had already married and had already given birth to a daughter. She had never seen this child, but she had heard of it once, and then she sent someone to give her a gift, and she did not know if it had been delivered.
When I think of my loved ones, it's like knocking over a box full of memories, and the memories of the past are like shining jewels rolling to the ground.
"I also know my brother-in-law, and my cousin has known each other since childhood, and often comes to my uncle's house. He was two years older than his cousin, but ......" Shainin said and couldn't help but hide his smile with his sleeve.
The emperor asked her, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I heard my aunt say that I couldn't see it when I was a child, and the two families had a tacit understanding in their hearts. But later, my cousin grew taller and taller, but my brother-in-law didn't grow anymore, and the two stood together, and my sister was about half an inch taller than him. Because of this, my sister never wore high buns or thick-bottomed shoes anymore. My brother-in-law didn't care too much, there was an interesting thing before they got married. ”
The emperor also found it interesting to hear: "What happened?" ”
"My brother-in-law got stuck in a mud ditch and sprained his foot, but my sister pulled him out. I was afraid that he would be embarrassed and not be laughed at, so I didn't call anyone else, so I put him back in the house. Xie Ning couldn't help laughing: "I secretly saw it from a distance, and I didn't go over to help for fear that they would be embarrassed." Since then, my sister has occasionally teased her brother-in-law for being 'weak and delicate'. ”
The emperor imagined the situation, and he couldn't help laughing.
"Has your brother-in-law ever been in the office?"
"My brother-in-law already has a reputation for showing off his talents." Xie Ning said: "My sister likes to work hard every time she talks about it, saying that her brother-in-law has a good temperament and is really talented. ”
Seeing her eyebrows fluttering, it seemed that it was the first time to see her so heartily happy.
The emperor was in a trance for a moment, and he didn't know how long it had been since no one had revealed his true feelings like this in front of him. Whether it is in the court or in the harem, everyone wears masks on their faces, just like those scenes on the stage, joys, sorrows, and sorrows are all performed.
"Except for my cousin, I like to listen to my uncle the most. He has traveled a lot of places, seen many things that no one else has seen, and his stomach is full of new stories, and when we were children, we all liked to pester him and listen to him tell some new and interesting stories. The second cousin admired the little uncle the most, if it weren't for the eldest aunt who watched closely, he would have secretly sneaked out of the house with the little uncle to travel everywhere. ”
It was already bedtime time, but Xie Ning was still restless, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. The master does not sleep, of course, the palace maids and eunuchs cannot rest. Bai Hongqi came over, listening to the beautiful voice of Xie Meiren in the house, and occasionally the emperor's laughter and words sounded.
This can't help but be surprised by Bai Hongqi.
To say that Xie Meiren really voted for the emperor's fate, as soon as the emperor arrived at the Yingxiang Pavilion, the meal was fragrant, and the mood was better, Bai Hongqi was tense like a stretched bow all day and night, and recently he also felt that he was also a lot more relaxed when he arrived at the Yingxiang Pavilion.
In addition to the relationship, there is really no other word to describe the relationship between Xie Meiren and the emperor. In front of the emperor, how dare others talk so endlessly, such as parents and even rural gossip? How many major events does the emperor have in a day, and there are few people to accompany him when he goes to bed, and he can even not enter the harem for a month when he is busy. Recently, these opportunities to accompany Xie Meiren have all been taken up, which makes Bai Hongqi's father-in-law really unable to judge Xie Meiren with his previous experience, so he has to say that she is probably an outlier.
After washing and lying down, Xie Ning still couldn't sleep, she nestled in the emperor's arms, kneading and playing with a small button on her bedclothes.
A letter to my aunt has been written, but how can one letter be enough? How much she had in her stomach to say, two pieces of letter paper simply couldn't hold it.
The emperor wrapped her hand in his palm and whispered, "Sleep quickly." ”
Xie Ning's lips pressed to his ear and whispered, "Your Majesty, the concubine is very happy today. ”
The emperor said in his heart, who can't see this? She was laughing all night, otherwise she was chattering endlessly.
"Really, really, very happy." As soon as Shainin relaxed, sleepiness pressed towards her like a mountain. She yawned and said with some slurred words, "Thank you, Your Majesty......"
The emperor thought that he was finally not as restrained as he was at the beginning. The first few times she was called to accompany her, she was very restrained at that time, and she didn't dare to slack off when she was grateful.
But that's no longer the case. She was much more casual and relaxed.
After her eyes got used to the darkness in the tent, the emperor saw that the corners of her lips seemed to be curved, maybe she dreamed of good things in her dreams, or maybe she dreamed of the relatives she wanted to see, so she would laugh when she fell asleep.
Early the next morning, when the emperor got up, Xie Ning had not yet woken up. It was not dawn outside, and it was always necessary to dress and wash in the house. The emperor motioned to put the lamp farther away, so as not to let the lamp shine on Xie Ning's face.
Xie Ning slept very deeply, and after being pregnant, she was easily tired, sleeping more than before.
The emperor was reluctant to quarrel with her, and preferred to let her sleep more.
When he was about to leave, he had already reached the door, and the emperor turned back again. Qinghe was a little uneasy, afraid that the emperor had forgotten something he had with him.
Actually, it's not that I forgot something.
The emperor walked to the bedside, opened the tent and glanced at Xie Ning seriously.
The young skin has a pearl-like luster, and the whiteness is flushed, and I can't get enough of it.
After standing like this for a while, the emperor put down the tent and turned to go out,
This time it's really gone.
