Shainin knelt on the ground like everyone else.

In fact, when she was pulled by the palace maids around her and knelt down, she didn't know what was going on, but when she saw everyone bending their knees together, the foreheads of the eunuchs were about to stick to the bluestone brick floor, and she knelt down sluggishly.

It was probably a moment before she understood that the emperor was coming.

The Emperor is coming!

Xie Ning knelt honestly like the palace maids beside him, and did not dare to raise his head indiscriminately.

She looked at the bluestone brick floor. Because there are people cleaning diligently every day, the ground is not dirty, but as the years go by, moss marks will naturally be left in the brick cracks, and the vertical and horizontal dark green spreads in the brick cracks, like a chessboard for playing Go.

Not only in the brick joints, but even on the brick surface because it has been used for a long time, there are pit dust scratches, and there are deep and shallow greens inside.

Shainin watched intently and enjoyed, until a pair of boots embroidered with gold dragons on black ground stopped in front of her and stepped on the stone bricks in front of her.

The boots are so well embroidered! The dragon's eyes come to life.

The emperor's boots are really clean, not to mention the uppers, even the uppers are clean, there is no gray shadow at all.

Shainin didn't think that the emperor stopped because of himself.

She had been in the palace for two and a half years. Speaking of two years is not a long time, but for the women in the palace, it is already a generation of new people replacing the old, and a group of women were newly elected to the palace last month, and their batch is already yesterday's yellow flowers.

The last time Xie Ning saw the emperor was when she entered the palace.

At that time, the last level of the emperor was personally selected, and she only saw the emperor's dragon robe. There are more than 30 beauties who entered the palace with her, and they all gave the name of a talented person together, among which Liang Cairen was fortunate and sealed the beauty, Li Cairen came later and sealed Zhaorong, and the others were just like Xie Ning, lonely and forgotten by everyone. Just like the flowers in this garden, they bloom in spring and bloom in autumn, but no one comes to appreciate them.

Xie Ning originally didn't know why so many vicious and incredible things in the harem she heard about were all done by women, but now she gradually understood.

Without a solid heart, suffering in such loneliness day after day, human nature will really be slowly distorted and changed.

Xie Ning sometimes really envied the palace maids around him. They have a head, they can strive for a promotion and a salary increase, and they still have a chance to leave the palace when they reach the age of 28.

"What's your name?"

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, and heard the emperor say again: "Raise your head and talk back." ”

"Concubine...... Xie Shi, a talented person in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, please Your Majesty. ”

She is a talented person of five grades in the harem of Emperor Yongkang of the Xia Dynasty.

This is the whole conversation between her and the emperor, from beginning to end, Xie Ning is in a state of confusion. Even if the emperor asked her to raise her head, she had to lower her eyes, and if she looked directly at the dragon's face, she would be punished.

Therefore, when the emperor and his party left, and others talked around her, Xie Ning was thinking in his heart, there have been two times of face sainthood, but I still don't know what the emperor looks like...... Is this also a blessing to see the sky?

No kidding. She doesn't even know the emperor's height, shortness, fat and thinness now, and she doesn't know what the emperor's eyebrows, eyes, and nose look like.

In front of the imperial power, when the other party holds your life and death, honor and disgrace, and you are powerless to resist, it is important to save your life and live well.

Xie Ning looked at the messy faces surrounding her in front of her, some familiar and some very unfamiliar.

The emperor's charm is so great, he said a word to himself, so that now he seems to be plated with a layer of gold in the eyes of these people, and everyone is vying for it.

After returning to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, Xie Ning quickly sat down as soon as he entered the room and kicked off the shoes on his feet: "These shoes are too tight." ”

The two palace maids who were waiting for her hurriedly went to pick up the shoes: "Don't be like this, new shoes are always inevitably important, just wear more." ”

"The feet are bound like pigs' trotters......

Although her voice was small, both palace maids heard it. Qinghe, who was the older of the two, said: "I'll borrow a last to support it, and it won't matter if it lasts for two nights." ”

Xie Ning was thinking about what she could eat at noon, and a person of her status was said to be unable to order, so she could only come according to the portion, and eat whatever was given in the dining room. Of course, it is lucky to meet someone who loves food, but this probability is not too great, and most of the time it is the kind that you don't like to eat, or you don't want to eat at all.

Therefore, the biggest achievement of Xie Ning in the past two years or so since she entered the palace is that she has a good relationship with the people in the dining room. She is not very good at cooking by herself, but she has seen a lot of food recipes in the past, but with this knowledge, she is familiar with the people in the dining room, and she can get something she likes to eat from time to time.

Just like the dim sum in the house now, there are no osmanthus, sesame oil, lard and other things in it, and there is a little sugar, and the skin is crispy and crispy, and the filling is refreshing, and it is really not greasy at all.

Is it good to eat steamed vegetables at noon? The steamed vegetables are hot, soft and tender, and with a few drops of chili oil and a little garlic on them, she will be able to kill two bowls.

Of course, this bowl is not a sea bowl, so it is a little bigger than a tea bowl.

After Xie Ning finished thinking about this, she found that the two palace maids in her house, Qinghe and Qingmei, were in a bit of a trance. One held a rag and wiped it repeatedly on the corner of the table, and I didn't know how to change places. The other sat next to the door sewing a purse, but it didn't look as efficient as usual.

Before Xie Ning called Qinghe to the dining room, someone entered the courtyard.

There were originally three people living in the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, except for Xie Ning himself, one Liu Cairen, and the other didn't even know her surname, and she died of a cold within a few days of moving in.

Liu Cairen felt that Yingxiang Pavilion was too desolate and remote, so he wanted to ask someone to change his place to live, and only Xie Ning himself was left here. Originally, it was said that people would be moved in again, but they didn't move in after a year and a half.

Xie Ning thinks this is very good, quiet. In the past, when Liu Cairen was still there, Xie Ning was actually a little afraid of her. Because Liu Cairen's eyes are as sharp as knives, either staring at people or staring at things, Xie Ning's heart is furious, I don't know what she is thinking about in her stomach, and she can not speak without talking with her, for fear that she will be caught if she says something wrong or does something wrong.

Therefore, there are very few people who come to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, not to mention the different identities of the people who come here.

Qinghe was stunned at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him and saluted.

Xie Ning also slowly stood up.

The man who came was a chamberlain, about thirty years old, wearing an old leaf-green kudzu silk robe, and he was dressed up and down very decently.

Xie Ning slowly found out this person from his memory, thanks to his very good face, his facial features are very upright, and there seems to be a smile on the corner of his mouth, which makes people can't help but feel good when they see it.

This person can not be offended, the lingering incense pavilion belongs to the back garden, and this person is the deputy chief eunuch Zhou Yuchen of the back garden.

Not to mention that this person holds the power of life and death in her hands, he must not offend him. A eunuch with real power and a low-grade talent without favor, as long as they are not fools, they know who is more powerful.

"Father-in-law Zhou is polite." Xie Ning greeted politely.

"Xie Cairen is welcome." Zhou Yuchen smiled: "The talented people are happy, our family congratulates the talented people." ”

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, but Qinghe reacted immediately, a smile suddenly bloomed on his face, and he said happily: "Father-in-law Xie Zhou has always taken care of our Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, and even if a talented person is blessed by God, he will never forget his father-in-law's care." ”

Xie Ning was a beat slower than Qinghe, and just understood the meaning of Zhou Yuchen's words.

This great joy can only be a meaning.

That's what Qinghe said, to be blessed with God's grace. In simpler and more straightforward words: the emperor wants to sleep with her!

Qinghe looked at his talented people and looked stupid, how could he be so snub when he saw that he was such a big man?

Zhou Yuchen smiled and didn't care, which harem woman didn't think about it day and night and look forward to the holy favor? Once his wish was granted, there were all kinds of reactions, Zhou Yuchen had seen a lot, and there were those who were more out of shape than Xie Cairen, and there were those who were talking nonsense, and they fainted happily on the spot, this daze is really nothing.

"Later, there will be palace people and Shanggong who will come to dress up and take care of Xie Cairen, explain how to serve the emperor, and the talented people just do what they say."

Xie Ning finally came to his senses, and Qinghe had already wittily taken a heavy purse and handed it to Zhou Yuchen respectfully. said with a more polite attitude than just now: "Thank you father-in-law for always mentioning our talents, a little caution, please don't dislike it." ”

Of course, Zhou Yuchen did not dislike it.

It's not that he loves money so much, the flesh on the mosquito's legs has to be chopped off. At his status, money is no longer the most important thing.

Xie Cairen has been in the palace for almost three years, and she is not favored, although she has the name of a talented person, but the little money in her hand is enough for her to live by herself, not much better than the palace maid. It couldn't have been a generous gift for her. The reason why Zhou Yuchen accepted it with a smile was to show an attitude.

After receiving the money, everyone's relationship will be closer, and it will be easier to deal with each other in the future. If you refuse to accept it, it will make people feel uneasy.

Although I don't know how far Xie Cairen can go, it is not a bad thing to take advantage of the good fate now. You must know that this kind of thing doesn't have to be done by him personally, but after a period of silence in Houyuan, someone finally came forward, and Zhou Yuchen came over for this.
