After the emperor left, Xie Ning still slept soundly. She didn't feel that the emperor was gone, but felt that he was still there and still by her side.

When she got up in the second half of the morning, the golden sunlight poured in through the open half of the window, shining on the things on the kang table under the window.

"What's that?"

Qinghe hurriedly went over and brought the things on the kang table over to Xie Ning to see: "It was sent by Gonggong Bai just now, and if you don't wake up the master, I will put it on the small table first, and the master can see it as soon as he opens his eyes." ”

This is a stalk of mutton fat white jade Ruyi.

Xie Ning took it over, and felt that others always said that the jade quality was warm and moist was not nonsense, this season, if you touch a stone, you will definitely feel cold, hard and awkward. But when I touched this jade, I only felt warm and smooth, the jade was delicate and dense, and the heavy feel made people feel solid for no reason.

"Father-in-law Bai said that this is for you to put on the bed, the jade is calming, wishful and very auspicious. Don't say it, it's the first time I've seen such a good thing after the slave maid has been in the palace for so many years. ”

Xie Ning said in his heart that he was also seeing it for the first time.

It's not that after entering the palace and nominally becoming the emperor's woman, she must have lived a life of brocade, food, and wealth. In fact, many people live far worse than when they are outside the palace, living in cramped and crowded places, food, clothing, and various expenses are often harshly deducted.

Shainin has experienced it all.

So just like Qinghe said, after all these years of entering the palace, it is the first time I have seen such a good thing.

She asked with some hesitation, "Do you really want to put it in bed?" ”

"Of course, this is what the emperor asked Bai Gong to pass on."

Xie Ning showed a somewhat embarrassed expression: "If only it was gold and silver, then I am not afraid of falling." What if you fall off this delicate thing? ”

Qinghe hurriedly intercepted her words: "Master, don't say it, this wishful luck is auspicious, and the slave will also tell Qingmei to be careful, even if we both fall, we can't drop this baby." In addition to this wishful thinking, Bai Gonggong also let people bring a bunch of rewards, and the outside room couldn't be put down, the slave and maid just opened the door of the side room, and let people carry things in first, and then carefully cleaned up after the master's eyes. ”

"What are they?"

"Ouch, it's all good things, everything you need to eat, drink, and wear. There was a cloak slave maid who took a look, and the embroidered flowers on it looked like the real thing, it must be the craftsmanship of the Shang Gong of the Needlework Bureau, but it was far stronger than the slave maid. ”

Qinghe served Xie Ning and got up, Xie Ning had not fully woken up, he was a little lazy, put on a silver-gray satin gown with rose red teeth, and took Qinghe's hand out to see the things that were rewarded.

It's not that she wants to help Qinghe, it's that Qinghe is too careful now, and she has to let her support herself, as if she is afraid that she will fall into the house and gnaw mud.

As soon as he went out, Xie Ning was stunned, not only was the hall full of things, but also on the table and on the ground, inside and outside the house, there were things everywhere.

"So much?"

Qinghe hurriedly explained: "This is not only a reward from the emperor. Father-in-law Bai walked on the front foot, and those who gave gifts and congratulations came behind him, and the slave and maid were so busy and stupid that they even called it wrong. ”

Xie Ning just smiled slightly, looking at those gift boxes and burdens of all sizes: "These people are really well-informed. ”

Sometimes I feel that there are too many secrets in this palace, and there seems to be an unknown mystery hidden behind every door, and every well has a legend of a dead person. Sometimes I feel that there are too few secrets in the palace, just like her, how many hours have it been since last night? Now most of the palace has spread inside and out.

I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion.

Qinghe pointed to the gifts and whispered: "When Gonggong Zhou left, he said that Ming'er would send a batch of people over for the master to choose, and the master's grade, there are fewer people around him, and it is really not decent." Now that the master is pregnant with the dragon seed again, he is becoming more and more unable to settle. ”

According to the regulations, Shainin really shouldn't have only a few people to serve. There are two fewer eunuchs, there are many palace maids, and there should be six personal palace maids, and she is two-thirds less. As for those who do rough work in the yard, there is no limit to the number of people, as long as Xie Ning is willing, she can stuff as many people Zhou Yuchen wants.

"Gonggong Zhou also said that there is no female official in charge of Yingxiang Pavilion, and he wants to send a Shang Gong to take care of and serve the master."

Xie Ning asked with some surprise: "Did he say who it was?" ”

Qinghe looked at her and didn't speak.

Shainin understood.

The meaning of Gonggong Zhou's words is actually to let Qinghe tell her that if she has any good friends and trustworthy people, she can tell Gonggong Zhou at this time, and he will definitely push the boat down the river to make it convenient for her.

Xie Ning's good Shang Palace...... There really is.

But man is dead.

At that time, one of the three people in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion died, and one left, leaving Xie Ning alone. Unlike Qinghe, who was confused and uneasy, Xie Ning felt that everyone was gone, and she was happy and quiet.

It was an accident to know that Zhang Shanggong, Xie Ning wanted to find some books to read, pass the time, and also recognize more words and knowledge. The high walls of the palace are a closed and oppressive place, and there are too few ways to increase knowledge.

But it's not easy to find books in the palace. Oh, and it's easy, too. If you want Buddhist scriptures or something, there are several copies in any palace, as if everyone is dedicated to the Buddha. In fact, what people who recite Buddhist scriptures every day are thinking in their hearts, even the Bodhisattva can't guess it.

Shainin doesn't pick books when he looks for them, he can do anything except Buddhist scriptures.

She borrowed some one after another, just because she met Zhang Shanggong because of borrowing books. Zhang Shanggong is full of gray hair, and she has dozens of books there, most of which she borrowed and copied herself. She passed away a year ago, leaving behind what few things she had. A little money and jewelry were given to the two palace maids who had been by her side to take care of her, and the books were given to Shainin.

In the days of dealing with Zhang Shanggong, Xie Ning felt very peaceful and comfortable. As soon as you enter the small courtyard of Zhang Shanggong, it makes people feel special. It seemed that the wind could not blow into the courtyard, and time slowed down there, even as if it had stood still. Zhang Shanggong is always so unhurried and easy.

Xie Ning sometimes even envied Zhang Shanggong.

Her ambition is not big, as long as she can live in Zhang Shanggong for so long, she can live a peaceful and leisurely life like her.

After Zhang Shanggong went, these books were sent to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion. Shainin had a thought in his heart when he was looking through the tidying up.

Zhang Shanggong left the book to her, of course, because they could talk about it, but there were other reasons.

It is useless not to leave it to her, and to others. The palace maids were not very literate, and these were meaningless to them.

People who love to read books and are suitable for keeping these books, Zhang Shanggong is the only one by his side, Xie Ning.

Xie Ning couldn't help but think, then one day in the future, when she was going to leave this world, who could she leave her things to?
