Gao Jieyu took the opportunity to drink tea and kept looking at Xie Meiren.

She wore a long ivory cotton robe with a smoky purple short shoulder. There is only a pair of mutton fat jade crested hairpins on his head, and a pair of long tassel earrings of gold leaf orchid on his ears.

Gao Jieyu didn't know Xie Meiren before, and she didn't pay attention to her dressing. Although I heard that many people in the palace are learning from her, but when it comes to Gao Jieyu's identity, it is obviously self-defeating to learn from a little beauty.

But there is one thing that everyone admits, since the emperor often comes to the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, then her dress must be pleasing to the emperor's eyes.

"I've wanted to come to see my sister for a long time, but I haven't been free. Today, I met the little father-in-law of Yingxiang Pavilion outside Qingyun Palace, was Sister Xie sending him to deliver something? ”

Xie Ning said with a smile: "It's inconvenient for me to go out, although I think about the virtuous concubine in my heart, I can only send someone to greet me." Shi Shunyi and Gao Jieyu came from Qingyun Palace? How is Concubine Xian's illness? ”

Where did Gao Jieyu pay attention? She didn't listen carefully to what Concubine Xian's palace maid said, and Shi Shunyi took over in a timely manner: "The imperial doctor said that it is still an old problem and cannot be cold." The doors and windows were closed tightly, and it was very hot in the room, so we went in and stood up, and we were sweating from the heat. ”

A few words are clear, although Xie Ning has never been to Qingyun Palace, listening to Shi Shunyi say this, he can completely imagine what it is like in Qingyun Palace.

The doors and windows were closed, and it must have been dark inside. The charcoal pot burned too strongly, and there was still some charcoal in the house. Ordinary people really can't stay in such a room, it's hot, stuffy and dark, I'm afraid it's not good for recuperation.

Shainin remembered that his uncle had a friend who also had lung disease, so he spent several months of the year in a place with hot springs in the mountains to recuperate. With a body like Concubine Xian, the capital is not a suitable place for her to recuperate.

Gao Jieyu put down the tea bowl and looked around: "Sister Xie, this house is really well tied." ”

There aren't many furnishings in the house, but if you look closely, every piece is just right. On the east wall is a picture of watching the snow, and there are two finches standing on the snow-covered branches, which are vividly painted, and the eyes of the finches are like black beans, just like real birds.

There are no priceless furnishings in this house, just that people feel clean and pleasing to the eye at a glance.

Compared with this room, Gao Jieyu felt that there were a lot of things in her room, and it made people feel crowded when they looked at it.

I can't tell you what it's like in my heart, it's sour, I don't want to admit that others are better than me, and I can't say that I am better than the other party with a clear conscience.

Where is she stronger than this Xie Meiren? Speaking of family background, although they are all daughters of official eunuchs, the Gao family has long been broken, Xie Meiren is not much better than her, both parents are dead, and there is not even a brother or sister. In terms of appearance, she is more delicate, but Xie Meiren is also very attractive.

If there is anything stronger than Xie Meiren, it is probably that she is young. Since the age of twenty-five, Gao Jieyu is afraid of her old fashion, and she spends a lot of effort on dressing up every day. I wore it freshly and tenderly, for fear that others would say it was frivolous. She is dressed steadily, and she is afraid that people will say that she is old-fashioned.

But now it's different, in front of Xie Meiren, Gao Jieyu can no longer put on Jieyu's pretense. She has a weak heart and short of breath, and Xie Meiren is far better than her even if she is anything else.

She was pregnant.

As long as this child can be born safely, whether it is a man or a woman, the emperor will never treat her badly. has a child by his side, and he has something to rely on for the rest of his life, even if he falls out of favor in the future, he can still occupy a place in the emperor's heart with his children.

But what about yourself? In another year, two years, her face will gradually wither like a flower out of season. Other people's flowers have blossomed and borne fruit, but what about her? Turned into stumps and leaves.

Shi Shunyi praised: "This tea is very good and fragrant." ”

Can the incense piece not be fragrant?

Shi Shunyi herself had never been pregnant with a child, looked at Xie Meiren's waist that had been slightly bulging under the loose robe, and asked cautiously: "Your body is heavier than before, right?" Are you usually tired? ”

"It's done." Xie Ning glanced down: "The spirit is indeed not as good as before, I used to sit and read a book for an afternoon, but now people are much lazy, I look at the back, look back and think about the front, I don't even remember much, and I don't know where the books have gone." ”

Gao Jieyu interjected with a smile: "Sister Xie has a good temper and patience, I don't have the patience to read, I didn't learn a few words when I was at home, one word by one is the same as the talismans drawn by Taoist priests, they recognize me, but I don't recognize them." ”

As he spoke, Qinghe came in with a snack, and a plate was the most common steamed cake, with small and delicate pieces of white soft cake stacked on the plate. There is no excessive embellishment on this pastry, and it does not smell rich, it is clean and simple. The other plate is a small freshly fried twist flower, golden in color, with sesame seeds sticking to it.

Gao Jieyu didn't eat anything, Shi Shunyi tasted a small piece of steamed cake, and the two got up to say goodbye.

When Shi Shunyi came out of the door of the Lingering Fragrance Pavilion, she found that Gao Jieyu's face was tightly sealed. She was determined to come just now, but after coming and seeing it, she became sullen instead.

Seeing off the two guests, Xie Ning slowly stood up with her waist up, and Qinghe hurriedly came over to support her.

"Socializing for a while is more tiring than doing a day's needlework."

The main thing is that the heart is tired.

It's not people who know each other, they are wary of each other, and they have to speak politely to socialize, how can they not be tired?

Qinghe Ke noticed that Gao Jieyu hadn't drunk tea or pastries since she entered the door. As if they were afraid that they would poison her in the refreshments.

Qinghe smiled and said: "I helped the master into the house to rest, just now there was a guest in the slave and maid is not good to come close and ask, what do you want to use for lunch?" ”

As soon as he mentioned eating, Xie Ning remembered the dim sum he had just brought in.

She pinched a small twist flower, and the twist was crispy and golden, and it gurgled when she bit it.

There was a guest in her just now, she couldn't eat this, even if she was careful, there would still be a sound, that was really indecent. But now there are no outsiders, and she can eat as much as she wants.

"The crockpot fish I made last time was good," Xie Ning said as he chewed on the small twist flower Karakala, "Another dish of mixed taro, let the kitchen watch the rest." ”

The crockpot fish is cut into sections and marinated, then fried, and then placed in the crockpot to be fired and stewed. The mixed taro is stewed and rotten, the taro is soft and glutinous, you don't need to chew it at all, and it feels like it will melt when you put it in your mouth.
