Fortunately, grasping the week is the next year's thing, and the immediate thing is the New Year's banquet. 81 Chinese Small 8.

The Needlework Bureau sent another new set of clothes made for the New Year, a total of eight sets. Before Xie Ning entered the palace, he had also heard of the pomp and circumstance of large families, and it was said that such a real wealthy lady had to be managed by someone else, and sometimes one person could not manage it.

At that time, she was still thinking, where does a person need so many clothes? How many heads do you have?

Now Xie Ning doesn't know how many clothes he has, this is in charge of Qinghe. If Xie Ning wanted to know the exact situation, he would either call Qinghe to ask carefully, or turn the book to find out. There are many clothes that are not worn once, and there are some that are not worn at all and the bottom of the box is crushed without wearing them once. She hadn't worn all the clothes she had made in the winter, but she had already sent them for the holidays.

Fang Shanggong has been in the Needlework Bureau for many years, and he is clear about this matter. According to the example, the concubine has four sets of clothes for the festival, and the needlework bureau has doubled it, saying that it is the same as the old practice. There was no concubine when the first emperor was the emperor, and it would be too long to count the years ahead, who knows which year's old practice was translated by the Needlework Bureau?

Of course, these things are nothing more than seeing the wind and making the rudder, and the old precedent is not just a matter of one sentence? If it is a concubine who is not favored, I am afraid that it will be barely enough to make up four sets according to the number, and it is purely an errand. The gold threads, silks, pearls, and precious stones used cut corners. But the concubine is now being favored, and of course the Needlework Bureau has to do its best. Even if you can't please the concubine, you must not offend her and make her complain in the emperor. With her pampering, I am afraid that a hundred words of slander will be more effective than others, and I will have to change someone to take charge of things if I can't say that the needle work bureau will have to change people.

What's more, the concubine can see the emperor almost every day, and the lady is beautifully decorated, and the emperor may be able to remember their merits when he sees them.

"The master is different from previous years, there were not many people to see during the New Year in previous years, and there was nothing to do, but now the New Year is only afraid that there will be guests every day. Like the female dependents of the clan, the nobles and nobles have a fate, from the beginning of the New Year to the Shangyuan Festival, they are afraid that they will not be empty every day. Sometimes I have to change two or three clothes a day. ”

Shainin knew the truth about what she said. Eighty-one eighty-eighty-eight. Just thinking of the tedious tossing and turning of changing clothes several times a day during the Chinese New Year, Xie Ning felt a headache.

"As for socializing, the master doesn't have to worry about it. At that time, the emperor will definitely make arrangements. Besides, you are a concubine, only they are the ones who talk to you, you just need to admire your face and listen. If you are happy to listen to it, you can say a word or two to a smiley face, and if you don't like it, you can ignore it. ”

Shainin is quite awkward to say this.

Shainin was not used to it for a while. Besides, she probably won't accept the flattery of others and be indifferent at any time, which is her natural nature.

The emperor has indeed made arrangements, and specially dialed two elderly Shang Gong to come to Xie Ning to help. They are the people of the Inner Palace Supervisor, but now they are here for the time being. Xie Ning was worried about their old qualifications at first, and he was not convinced by a young master like Xie Ning. When he first entered the palace before, the old Shang Palaces in the court still impressed Xie Ning. They always speak in a weird manner, very mean, and when they squint at people, the light in their eyes always looks gloomy. They are responsible for training the new palace maids and new beauties, and they are of course much more polite to the beauties than to the palace maids. Judging from Shainin's own experience, this politeness is really not pleasant.

But the two old Shang Gong who came back were very respectful, smiling, and humble. Whenever Xie Ning asks and instructs, they know everything and say everything, lest they be inconsiderate and attentive.

Shaining thought that this was also a change in identity. People who have been in the palace for a long time have several sets of faces. What I've seen is probably not the worst side of them. But now there's no doubt they've brought out the best in them.

Xie Ning also mentioned this matter when he was talking to the emperor at night, and said with a smile: "The concubine always feels weak-hearted, isn't this a fox and a false prestige?" ”

Those who may not be really afraid of the concubine, but in fact, they are still afraid of the emperor.

The emperor smiled and said, "Do you have the cunning of a fox?" I don't see it. 八 一一 Chinese 一 .小8 1网z八said. One c and one o m come, where does your little tail grow when I touch it? ”

He really reached out to touch it, Xie Ning dodged sideways, laughed for a while, and finally was caught by the emperor and kissed a few times.

"When you entered the palace, you were saddened by the Shang Palace? Do you want to find people out of anger? ”

Xie Ning smiled and shook his head: "No need." ”

"Why not?" The emperor asked her with a smile: "They must have treated you badly at that time, so you don't want to take such a bad breath?" ”

"No, you don't." Shainin hadn't thought about this at all. In fact, if she wants to vent, she doesn't have to wait until now. You can do it as early as after you're pregnant.

But Xie Ning has never held a grudge against those people for this. Speaking of which, those people have not done anything out of the ordinary except for being mean. She didn't think there was anything to hold grudges about. Her mood has always been calm and open, and she doesn't need to toss and suppress others to make herself happy, so she feels that she has lived up to her current status and status.

Besides, what does the emperor mean by asking her this? According to the emperor, in the years before he ascended the throne, he was afraid that there would be more people who had offended him, and he didn't see the emperor settle accounts one by one after he ascended the throne. It is precisely because the emperor knows that she will not do that, not like that, this sentence is just a joke.

"Go to bed early, Ming'er has to toss for a full day."

"It's not just a day." Xie Ning covered his mouth and yawned: "The dinner is more important, I'm afraid that I won't be able to sleep until midnight, and there are more things on the first day of the New Year, how do I feel that this festival is more tired than usual." ”

The emperor didn't have much sincerity to comfort her: "This is the first year, and I will slowly get used to it in the future." ”

"When the emperor ascended the throne in the first year, did he retreat from difficulties?"

Just said that she was going to bed early, and in a blink of an eye she talked again.

The emperor cheered up and said, "There have been, there have been." When the king was in turmoil, many people in the palace responded, and at that time, when they looked at every face around them, they would have doubts in their hearts, and they didn't know what the other party's heart wrapped in the skin looked like, and no one could believe it, and they couldn't sleep at night. Also, when I dismissed the old prime minister, Ma Taishi, I thought about revoking the will until the palace eunuch read it. ”

No one knows about these things, the emperor has always buried these deep in his heart, and no one saw that he had ever hesitated to retreat at that time.

But being with Shainin is like this, the emperor likes her openness. With him, the emperor felt that he had nothing to say.

Just like when she was in Jinfeng Garden, the emperor took her to see Princess Mingshou together. Before he went, the emperor knew what Princess Mingshou would say, and after seeing it, he was sure that it was not far from what he had guessed in advance.

He felt that there was nothing that Shainin could not know. Even if she knew, she would not have any selfish delusions because of this, let alone use it as a basis or even spread it.

She won't.

I went to bed late at night, and I woke up later than usual in the morning. The eldest prince doesn't have to go to the study, but he is still used to reading and practicing calligraphy in the room after breakfast these days. Xie Ning saw a lot of his former cousins and cousins who skipped school and were taught by his uncle, and thought that all children in the world were the same. As a result, the eldest prince is so well-behaved and studious, if it weren't for his body not allowing, he would have taken out ten hours a day to study. According to the masters of Nanyuan's study, the eldest prince is talented, diligent and studious, and is really a good seedling.

It is......

It's just that the body is weak.

Xie Ning misses the time when she used to make dumplings by herself behind closed doors for the New Year, but now from the moment she opens her eyes, her time is not her own, what to do at what time, and where to go at what hour, all of which are clearly written.

The helper that the emperor gave her was really worry-free, and Xie Ning faintly felt a feeling. Although the old Shang Gong has changed their smiling faces when they treat her now, in fact, the essence has not changed, and she is still in charge, and she is not even as comfortable as when she dealt with her before. At that time, it was two Shang Gong who looked at more than a dozen beauties, and now they are looking at her alone, can this be compared?

Xie Ning's auspicious clothes today are bright yellow, with auspicious clouds and green luans embroidered on his robe, and two pairs of big phoenix hairpins on his head. Seriously, this full set of drapes is heavy and cumbersome, and even if she sits at the New Year's banquet, it is not convenient for her to eat and drink.

So Xie Ning filled his stomach before he changed into this dress. While serving her to dress, Qinghe asked while tying her belt, "Master, is this a little tighter?" ”

"It's okay, so be it."

Qinghe was worried that she had just eaten something and tied it too tightly for fear of discomfort. It was inconvenient for her to bend over, so she simply knelt down to straighten the silk spikes hanging from Xie Ning's belt, and turned around and said, "Give me that longer tie." ”

Qingzhu was in a daze for some reason, and Qinghe said it again before she came back to her senses, and quickly took the few straps in her hand for Qinghe to choose.

Qinghe didn't know why she was distracted at this time, most likely because there were too many things for the New Year, and she was a little busy.

The emperor walked in and stood by the screen to admire Xie Ning's appearance in full makeup. Xie Ning saw him in the large bronze mirror of equal height, and showed him a smile, and then she slowly turned around.

Ring Ding Dong, the fragrant wind hits people, Shainin's bright and beautiful is like the stars shining in the room, it is impossible to open people's eyes, and they can't look directly at her face.

"Isn't the emperor still changing his clothes?"

It was almost dusk, and the emperor was still wearing a regular dress.

"I'm not like you, I have to clean up for a long time." Xie Ning has been grooming and dressing up since half of the afternoon, but the emperor is much less troublesome, although the crown dress is also more solemn than usual, but there is no need to laboriously draw eyebrows and apply powder, pull hairpins, and at most a quarter of an hour can be completed.
