Xie Ning knelt on the ground like everyone else.
In fact, she didn't know what happened when she was pulled to kneel down by the palace maids around her, but when she saw everyone kneeling down in unison, the eunuchs' foreheads almost touched the bluestone tiles.
She also knelt down slowly.
It took her a while to realize that the emperor was here.
The emperor is coming Xie Ning knelt down as obediently as the maids beside her, not daring to raise her head.
She looked at the bluestone tile floor.
Because someone cleans it diligently every day, the ground is not dirty, but over time, moss marks will naturally remain in the cracks of the bricks, and vertical and horizontal dark green lines spread in the cracks of the bricks, like a chessboard for playing Go.
Not only the cracks in the bricks, but also the dust and scratches on the brick surface due to long use, there are also deep and shallow greens inside.
Xie Ning was watching intently and enjoying herself until a pair of black boots embroidered with gold dragons stopped in front of her and stepped on the stone bricks in front of her.
The boots are so beautifully embroidered, the dragon eyes are vivid.
The emperor's boots are so clean, not to mention the uppers, even the uppers are clean, without any gray shadow at all.
Xie Ning didn't think the emperor stopped because of himself.
She has been in the palace for two and a half years.
Two years is not a long time, but for the women in the palace, it is already a new generation replacing the old ones.
Last month, a new group of women were elected to the palace, and this group of them is already yesterday's flowers.
The last time Xie Ning saw the emperor was when she entered the palace.
At that time, the emperor was personally selected in the last stage, and she only saw the emperor's dragon robe.
There were more than thirty beauties who entered the palace with her, and they were all awarded the title of Cairen.
Among them, Liang Cairen was lucky enough to be granted the title of Beauty, Li Cairen came from behind and was granted the title of Zhaorong, and the others were all Just like Xie Ning, he was unknown and forgotten by everyone.
Just like the flowers in this garden, they bloom in spring and fade in autumn, but no one comes to appreciate them.
Xie Ning originally didn't know why so many vicious and unbelievable things she heard about in the harem were all done by women, but now she gradually understands.
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 serving maids around him.
They are ambitious, can strive for promotions and salary increases, and have the opportunity to leave the palace when they reach the age of twenty-eight.
"May I have your name" Xie Ning was stunned for a moment and heard the emperor say again: "Raise your head and speak."
"I am a talented person from Yingxiang Pavilion, Mr.
Xie.
Please greet me, Your Majesty."
She was a fifth-grade talented person in the harem of Emperor Yongkang of the Xia Dynasty.
This was the entire conversation between her and the emperor.
Xie Ning was in a state of confusion from beginning to end.
Even if the emperor asked her to raise her head, she must lower her eyes.
Looking directly at Long Yan would be punished.
So, when the emperor and his entourage left and others were talking around her, Xie Ning was thinking in her mind that she had met the emperor twice, but she still didn't know what the emperor looked like.
I'm lucky enough to see Tianyan.
No kidding.
She doesn't even know the emperor's height, height, weight, or what his eyebrows, eyes, and nose look like.
In front of the imperial power, when the opponent holds your life and death, honor and disgrace, and you are unable to resist, it is important to save your life and live well.
Xie Ning looked at the mess of faces surrounding her, some were familiar, and some were very unfamiliar.
The emperor's charm is so great, he just said something to himself, and now he seems to be plated with gold in the eyes of these people, and everyone is fighting for it.
Returning to Yingxiang Pavilion, Xie Ning quickly sat down as soon as he entered the room and kicked off his shoes: "These shoes are too tight."
The two maids who were waiting for her quickly picked up the shoes: "Don't be like this for talented people.
New shoes are always tighter.
Just wear them more."
"The feet are tied like pig's hooves" Although her voice was small, both palace maids heard her.

Qing He, the more mature of the two, said, "I'll borrow a last to hold it on.
It won't be tight for two nights."
Xie Ning was thinking about what to eat for lunch.
People of her status were not allowed to order food, so they could only order food according to portions and eat whatever was given in the dining room.
Of course you are lucky to meet someone who likes to eat, but the chance of this is not very high.
Most of the time, what you get is the kind of food that you don't like to eat very much, or you don't want to eat it at all.
Therefore, the biggest achievement of Xie Ning's more than two years in the palace is that she has a good relationship with the people in the dining room.
She is not very good at cooking, but she has read a lot of food recipes in the past.
However, with this knowledge, she has become familiar with the people in the kitchen, and she can get her favorite food from time to time.
Want to eat something.
Just like the snacks currently in the house, there are no sweet-scented osmanthus, sesame oil, or lard in them, and there is only a small amount of sugar.
They taste crispy on the outside and refreshing in the filling, and they are really not greasy at all.
Is it good to eat steamed vegetables for lunch?
The steamed vegetables are hot, soft and tender.
With a few drops of chili oil and some minced garlic, she can definitely finish two bowls.
Of course, this bowl is not a sea bowl, it is just a little bigger than a tea bowl.
After Xie Ning finished thinking about this, she found that the two maids in her room, Qing He and Qing Mei, were in a trance.
One of them took a rag and wiped it repeatedly on the corner of the table without knowing where to change it.
The other one was sitting next to the door sewing a purse, but it seemed that he was far less efficient than usual.
Before Xie Ning could call Qing He to the dining room, someone entered the courtyard.
There were originally three people living in Yingxiang Pavilion.
In addition to Xie Ning himself, one was Liu Cairen, and the other did not even know her last name.
A few days after they moved in, he died from a cold.
Liu Cairen felt that Yingxiang Pavilion was too desolate and remote, so he tried to find someone to move to a different place.
Xie Ning was the only one left here.
It was originally said that more people would be moved in, but after a year and a half, no more people were moved in.
Xie Ning thought it was nice and peaceful.
When Liu Cairen was still here, Xie Ning was actually a little afraid of her.
Because Liu Cairen's eyes were as sharp as knives, he was either staring at people or things, which made Xie Ning's heart tremble.
He didn't know what she was planning in her stomach, being with her.
My son doesn't speak even if he can, for fear of being caught if he says something wrong or does something wrong.
Therefore, few people usually come to Yingxiang Pavilion, not to mention the people who come here have different identities.
Qing He was stunned at the first glance and hurriedly greeted him and saluted him.
Xie Ning also stood up slowly.
The person who came was a chamberlain, about thirty years old, wearing an old leaf-green kudzu silk robe, and he was very neatly dressed.
Xie Ning slowly found this person from his memory.
Fortunately, he was very kind-hearted, with regular facial features, and there always seemed to be a smile at the corner of his mouth.
People couldn't help but fall in love with him as soon as they saw him.
This person cannot be offended.
Yingxiang Pavilion belongs to Houyuan, and this person is none other than the eunuch Zhou Xuchen, the deputy general manager of Houyuan.
Not only did this man hold the power of life and death over her, but he must not be offended.
A powerful eunuch and a low-level, unfavored talent.
Anyone who is not a fool knows who is more powerful.
"Eunuch Zhou, you are polite."
Xie Ning greeted politely.

"You're welcome to thank Cai Ren."
Zhou Xunchen smiled brightly: "Cai Ren is very happy.
Our family congratulates Cai Ren."
Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, but Qing He immediately reacted, a smile suddenly broke out on his face, and he said happily: "Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for always taking care of us in Yingxiang Pavilion.
Even if a talented person receives divine grace, he will never forget our father-in-law." " Xie Ning was a beat slower than Qing He and just understood the meaning of Zhou Xunchen's words.
This great joy can only mean one thing.
That's what Qing He said, receiving divine grace.
To put it in simpler and more straightforward terms: the emperor wants to sleep with her Qinghe became anxious when he saw his talent acting stupidly.
How could Eunuch Zhou be so neglectful?
Zhou Xunchen smiled and didn't care.
Which of the women in the harem didn't think about it day and night, hoping that once the holy pet would get his wish, the reactions would be all kinds of things.
Zhou Xunchen had seen it many times, and he was even more rude than Xie Cairen.
There are some who talk nonsense, and some who faint with joy on the spot.
This daze is really nothing.
"Later, palace ministers and ministers will come over to help Xie Cai Ren with his makeup and grooming, and explain how to serve the emperor.
Cai Ren just needs to do as they say."
Xie Ning finally came to his senses.
Qing He had already cleverly picked up a heavy purse and handed it to Zhou Xunchen respectfully.
He said in a more polite manner than before: "Thank you, father-in-law, for always being considerate of our talented people and for your little care.
Please don't dislike it, father-in-law."
Of course Zhou Xuchen doesn't dislike it.
It’s not that he loves money so much that he would split the flesh off a mosquito’s legs.
At his current 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 reputation of being a talented person, the little money she has is just enough for her to live by herself, and she is not much better than the palace maid.
It's impossible for what she gave out to be a generous gift.
The reason why Zhou Xunchen accepted it with a smile was to show his attitude.
After collecting the money, everyone's relationship becomes closer, making it easier to deal with them in the future.
If you refuse to accept it, it will make people panic and uneasy.
Although I don’t know how far Xie Cairen can go, it is not a bad thing to form a good relationship now.
You should know that there is no need for him to personally take action in this kind of matter.
It is rare that after Houyuan was silent for a while, someone finally came forward.
Zhou Xuchen came here specially for this reason
