The procedures were almost the same as last time, including bathing, dressing up, and changing clothes, but Xie Ning could feel the subtle difference in Luo Shanggong's attitude.
I won’t go into the details of taking a bath.
When dressing up, Luo Shanggong’s gestures, strength, and skills made people feel more attentive and appropriate compared to the last time.
When applying powder, he actually opened four different boxes for her. select Last time, I gave her a face full of powder, okay?
It was her turn to choose.
Such a big difference, Xie Ning is not stupid, how could he not feel it?
No wonder the women in the harem strive to be the best, because the advantage is that it is so real and irresistible.
There is only one emperor, but there are too many beauties.
What a cruel ratio.
There were three thousand beauties in the harem, all of whom wanted to sell their youth and beauty to the emperor, the only buyer.
Youth and beauty have a shelf life, and they will be worthless in three to five years at most.
How to make the seller want to buy within the shelf life?
So everyone showed their magical powers, playing music, chess, calligraphy, painting, singing, dancing and other icing on the cake.
Needless to say, some people even fell down, fainted and made shocking remarks in front of the emperor.
Or first inquire about the emperor's route, and play a tune, sing a song, or dance on the road that must be passed.
These things are not new.
So, although this was not the first time, Xie Ning was still confused.
She didn't have any extraordinary talents, so what did the emperor see in her?
With this question in mind, Xie Ning got on the sedan chair.
It was not the first time that he and Eunuch Bai had met, but this time after Xie Ning entered the palace again, he dared to take a look quietly.
I used to hear people joke that the emperor's happiness was manifested in what specific aspects?
The emperor slept in a golden room, ate from a golden bowl, and had braised pork with every meal.
The concubines and ladies slept differently every day. , if you want to spank whoever you want, just yell for spanking, and that person will have his pants taken off and spanked.
Xie Ning was secretly amused when he thought of this.
She could now responsibly say that the house the emperor lived in was not made of gold, and neither was the bowl.
As for eating meat and sleeping with women Just as she was thinking, the emperor came in.
Xie Ning hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"You sit down."
The emperor seemed to be in a good mood: "The noodle soup I had at your place for lunch was pretty good."
What Xie Ning could say, she could only say quickly: "I am scared."
The emperor also saw it.
Although she was cautious when she was in Yingxiang Pavilion, she was better than now.
The emperor had seen so many people that he was afraid of him and respected him, so he had long been accustomed to it.
But now that she is not outside, he still hopes that she can be more comfortable and lively.
"What books have you studied?"
"I only know a few words and haven't studied much."
The emperor sat next to her and felt her flinch again.
"Look, there are some books on your bookshelf.
They were brought to the palace."
Xie Ning shook his head slightly: "That only happened after I entered the palace."
"Oh" the emperor became interested.
Xie Ning had no choice but to explain to the emperor: "When I entered the palace, I was taught by Yao Shanggong for a while and gave me two Buddhist scriptures.
I thought the calligraphy on them was good, so I often practiced on them.
After arriving at Yingxiang Pavilion, I found some more books to read."
"What kind of books are they?"

There are all kinds of books, but it’s quite complicated.
Xie Ning had no room to pick and choose, books at this time were extremely valuable.
Of course, the most common ones are various Buddhist scriptures.
Most women in the palace believe in Buddhism, so Buddhist scriptures are the easiest to find.
Of course, Xie Ning was not very interested in eating fast and chanting sutras.
She just wanted to learn and practice calligraphy.
In addition, she also found two poetry collections, both of which were masterpieces by people from the previous dynasty.
When an old monk left the palace a few years ago, he gave her all the dozens of books he had collected, which greatly enriched Xie Ning's book collection.
She has read all these books, and as for her handwriting, she has gotten a bit better at it.
I can't say how good her writing is, at least it's horizontally and vertically, and it's barely neat.
She picked and talked to the emperor.
The emperor became interested and took her hand and stood up: "Come here."
Xie Ning followed the emperor and walked over.
There was also a row of bookshelves in the outer palace, filled with books.
This made her temporarily forget about holding hands with the emperor.
There are so many books, I really want to read them.
It’s hard to say how much of a book lover she was before.
But being trapped in the harem, she couldn't go anywhere, couldn't do anything, couldn't make friends, and had no entertainment or recreation.
In this situation, she only had books to accompany her.
The emperor seemed to be attracted by her eyes, staring at the bookshelf intently, but he secretly praised her in his heart.
A book lover is much better than a vulgar fan who only knows Lingluo jewelry.
The emperor picked up a pen and handed it to her: "Come, write a few words and I will take a look."
Xie Ning was dumbfounded.
Isn't she here to sleep with you?
Why did it suddenly turn into a writing test?
Can her character be recognized by others?
The emperor saw her scruples and said with a smile: "Just write.
I won't blame you if you don't write well."
Of course Xie Ning had to listen to him, but he suddenly picked up his pen and asked what to write.
For a moment, she could only think of the scene when she was watching fish this morning.
The lotus leaves on the water were round, and the petals floated on the water from nowhere, making shallow ripples.
She had no choice but to pick up the pen and write this line on the paper.
The emperor was watching from the side.
There was something wrong with the way she held the pen, and her wrist was a little unstable.
An expert can tell if there is one at a glance.
Most likely no one had taught her how to write seriously before, otherwise she would have to learn the correct posture of the pen before writing.
Peach blossoms and flowing water, mandarin fish fat.
The emperor was delighted when he saw it.
The writing of this character is really hurtful to the eyes, especially the character for water.
The vertical character in the middle is like a reed stick, not to mention the character for mandarin fish.
This character has more strokes than the other characters.
In order to write clearly, she You can only write the words as big as possible.
As a result, this character is a whole circle larger than the other characters.
But despite his superior physique, the strokes on the right half of the mandarin fish are still all mixed together, making it look like a black mass.
Xie Ning himself was very upset.

Why do you think of such a sentence?
The word "霜" is really difficult to write.
I should have written a few more trouble-free characters with fewer strokes.
"Not bad, not bad."
The emperor complimented against his will: "Have you learned writing from anyone?"
Xie Ning shook his head honestly.
I guess no one taught me.
It is no longer easy for a little girl to think about how she can write like this.
The emperor thought so, but he didn't think she was funny, and was a little moved by her hard work and intention.
"Why do I think of such a poem and want to eat fish?"
Xie Ning defended in a low voice: "I remembered it when I saw the falling flowers and swimming fish in the tank in the morning."
Why do you say she is obsessed with eating just because she wrote about fish fat?
You look down on people too much.
But Xie Ning thought with a guilty conscience that when she stood there looking at lotus flowers and goldfish in the morning, she had indeed had thoughts related to eating.
At that time, she thought, it would be nice to have goldfish in this tank, but it would not be practical.
If you raise two carp, it will taste so fresh and delicious.
The emperor carried her out of the house and said smoothly: "Go to the dining room to see if there is any mandarin fish.
Make a steamed fish dish and bring it up."
As expected, the dinner included steamed mandarin fish.
The emperor's eyebrows and eyes looked less sharp under the candlelight than during the day.
They were dyed with a gentle light by the candlelight.
With a slight smile on his lips, he greeted her: "Eat quickly."
What does his smile mean?
Xie Ning thought to himself while tasting the tender and delicious mandarin fish.
Could it be that the emperor was laughing at her for being a foodie?
Seeing her silently eating the fish, the emperor also felt that the fish looked particularly delicious.
The eunuch who was serving the kitchen was very discerning and took a piece of meat from the tender belly for the emperor and dipped it in the sauce.
The emperor took a bite of the fish.
It is indeed tender, smooth and fragrant, and melts in your mouth.
This smoothness reminded the emperor of the feeling when he held her hand just now.
Her hands are small and so soft and smooth.
Not surprisingly, after dinner, Xie Ning was slept with by the emperor again.
And this time it’s twice Once it was over, she thought her task had been completed and was about to get up.
As a result, the emperor held him down from behind and came again.
The emperor slowed down his movements the second time and was gentler than the first time.
In the end, Xie Ning was almost paralyzed and couldn't get up at all.
Two palace maids lifted her up and helped her to scrub her body and then rest in the palace room at the back.
As soon as she touched the pillow, she immediately fell asleep.
To be more precise, she passed out.
It's so tiring.
The body is tired and the spirit is even more tired.
Unlike the first time, she really didn't feel much except pain and tiredness.
But this time it's a little different
