The lion's head was delicious, as was the sweet and sour pork loin.
Of course, in addition to the dishes she ordered, the dining room also added two more dishes and a soup.
Saito's portion was indeed four dishes, but he was not spoiled.
It's good if a talented person can eat two dishes.
In the past, Xie Ning only had two dishes per meal, but she has a small appetite and can't finish two dishes.
Now of course the kitchen would not dare to neglect her, not to mention that the emperor had eaten at Yingxiang Pavilion.
No one could deduct her from her.
I don't know how Xie Ning could finish a large bowl of rice with four dishes, one soup, and even if Qinghe and Qingmei helped to eat it, others in the yard could also enjoy it together.
A sample dish.
Xie Ning used to feel embarrassed to let them eat her leftovers, but since it was the same in other places, she couldn't change this reality, so she tried to be as convenient as possible.
When eating food, she would use another pair of chopsticks to pick it out and then eat with her own chopsticks.
She would only eat one side and not mess up the whole plate.
Qinghe and the others divided the vegetables into bowls.
She and Qingmei ate first, and the other two court ladies and eunuchs in the other courtyards could also take advantage.
"The people in the dining room are really good at watching people order dishes, which was not the case before."
Qingmei was halfway through her words when she saw Qinghe glaring at her, and she didn't dare to say the rest of the sentence.
"If you continue to be so heartless, I will tell Cai Ren to send you back.
I can't leave you to serve Cai Ren."
Qing He was definitely not joking with her.
Although the two of them were palace maids assigned to Xie Ning together, Qinghe was two years older than Qingmei.
She was stable and capable.
Within a month after arriving, she took care of everything big and small.
Qingmei had a somewhat reckless personality.
She doesn't know what to do unless others tell her to do something, and she is born to be a killer.
If that were the case, Qinghe wouldn't mind her, but Cai Ren is about to be favored, and she will encounter more and more people and things in the future.
If Qingmei doesn't take her words seriously, she might bring disaster to Cai Ren at some point.
Come on, Qinghe will never allow this to happen.
"You said that when others look at other people's dishes, you should look at yourself first.
Did you have such a dish before?
Did you dare to complain at that time?
Now that people have gained power, you also feel that you can show off your prestige, right?
You want to be like this If you have short eyelids and open your mouth, you will only offend people everywhere.
Nowadays, there are many people who want to curry favor and serve you, including you. " Qing He's voice was neither loud nor fast, but there was no joke in his words.
Qingmei suddenly panicked and quickly left the stool and knelt down at Qinghe's feet: "Sister, sister, I was wrong.
I won't dare to do it again next time.
You must never tell Cai Ren to drive me away." ” If you are kicked out, you will have no way to survive, and you will have to do the most menial work and let others do whatever you want.
She is a talented person who treats people well, and her current job is easy.
She is unwilling to leave the door of Yingxiang Pavilion even if she dies.
Qing He was unmoved, pushed the bowl and chopsticks and stood up: "You are not a child of three or five years old, why can't you control your mouth?
Do you still remember the palace maid who died by the well the winter before last?"
Qingmei nodded stiffly: "Remember."
"What mistake did she make?"
"She talks too much" Qingmei started to tremble.
Speaking of that incident, it was really scary.
Qingmei saw it at the time, and she would have nightmares for months afterward.

The palace maid offended someone by speaking rashly, so she was splashed with cold water and asked to wash her clothes by the well.
When she was found, she was already dead, her whole body was hard, and she was frozen with the well platform.
Use a chisel and hammer to The body could only be carried away after the ice was broken.
"If you can't change this problem, not to mention what will happen to you, you will also bring disaster to the talented people.
I just say this time, you stay here and think about it.
If there is another time, I will not agree with you.
If you say one more word, you will go out directly."
Qinghe really didn't say anything more and went out directly.
There was still a lot of work to do.
As for Qingmei, the two of them had developed some affection for each other in the past two years.
She had only reminded her over and over again, but this was really the last time.
If Qingmei still can't change her faults, Qinghe won't miss her old love anymore.
Everyone's path lies under their own feet.
Others can at most point you in the direction.
Whether you follow it or not is your own business.
Qi Shanggong took over the work of the materials that the emperor rewarded, and personally led a group of embroiderers out to work, and also personally led people to deliver them.
Although the work is rushed, the quality has not been compromised at all.
Of course, Xie Ning couldn't throw cold water on people who were so supportive.
He ordered Qinghe to take a purse with silver locks and give it to Qi Shanggong.
He also picked up a shawl from his new clothes and put it on his shoulders on the spot, praising Qi.
Shang Gong and Sewing Bureau are good at their craftsmanship.
Things in the palace are all about comings and goings.
Qi Shanggong was so eager to show his good intentions, Xie Ning certainly couldn't let his good intentions go to waste.
She couldn't afford other benefits, but a few kind words were always fine.
In terms of rank, Qi Shanggong's rank was higher than that of a young talented person like her, and his salary was even higher.
In terms of real power, Qi Shanggong is one of the few real powerful palaces in Houyuan.
Even if the first one is not counted, he will definitely be ranked among the top three.
The maids brought by Qishang Palace put up the new clothes on wooden stands and showed them to Xie Ning.
Among these clothes is another set of riding clothes, which is a curved Hufu.
A robe with lapels and narrow sleeves, plain silk trousers, leather-covered soft-soled boots and a brocaded pheasant feather hat.
Qi Shanggong pointed to the riding suit and said with a smile, "It's hot right now, so I won't be able to wear it until autumn."
Xie Ning said: "I have never worn clothes like this before, so I don't know whether they look good or not."
"It must look good.
The talented person has a slim figure, a slender waist and a long neck.
Wearing this is more suitable than others."
Looking at the clothes and being polite like this, I went around in a lively manner for a while before leaving.
After leaving the door of Yingxiang Pavilion, the young palace man behind Qi Shang Gong, who was combing the crescent moon and Liu Hai, took two steps forward, leaned closer and asked Qi Shang Gong in a low voice: "Why did aunt come in person to deliver clothes for us to run around today?"
That’s it.”
Qi Shanggong smiled slightly: "I don't understand."
The palace attendant who asked the question nodded repeatedly.
"If you can't figure it out, just keep thinking about it.
We'll talk about it when you figure it out."
In the Yingxiang Pavilion, Qinghe and Qingmei were busy, sorting out these colorful and pleasing new clothes and putting them in the cabinet.
This involves a new problem.
The wardrobe in Xie Ning's house does not have such a large space to store the clothes of the season.

Those delivered a few days ago have already filled the wardrobe, and the ones delivered today cannot be filled.
"Talented man, why don't you put your old clothes in order and put them in the side room first to make room for these new clothes?"
Xie Ning thought for a while: "I remember that one skirt was washed out and faded, and the one embroidered with longevity flowers was torn at the edges.
Free up these pieces and leave the others alone."
Qing He was a little embarrassed.
He looked at the new clothes that made people unable to take their eyes away from them at first sight: "Talent, that doesn't make much room.
I still can't put these."
"Just pick two pieces.
You can put the rest in the wing first."
Xie Ning pointed to two pieces, one was a water-colored long skirt and the other was an elephant-colored blouse.
Qing He swallowed back what he was saying, and followed Xie Ning's instructions, picking out the two new clothes and putting the others in the side room.
Qingmei really didn't understand and was full of doubts.
However, after being warned by Qing He, she became much more cautious than before and did not speak easily.
That's what Qinghe taught her.
If you don't know how to speak, then speak less to avoid disaster.
As for Qingmei, she listened to it, but she was afraid that she would not remember it reliably, so she always gritted her teeth tightly and held back everything she wanted to say.
The two of them packed up their new clothes.
Qing He glanced at her and saw Qing Mei gritting her teeth and widening her eyes with a look of bitterness and hatred on her face.
She smiled and shook her head: "Look at you like this, what do you want to ask me?"
Just ask now."
Qingmei asked cautiously: "Really?"
"Really, I'm not lying to you."
Qingmei pointed at the new clothes: "Why don't talents want these new ones?
These are more beautiful than the ones sent last time, with novel styles and expensive materials.
New clothes come one season after another, so put them away after the season.
After a year, the clothes will become old and worn out, and they won’t look good even if they are worn again.”
Qing He nodded: "I was a little confused just now.
People often say that clothes are not as good as new, and people are not as good as old.
Who would always wear old clothes when there are new ones?
But if a talented person does this, she must have her own intention.
I Guess, the talented person doesn’t want to be criticized behind her back, saying that she is arrogant and arrogant when she suddenly gets favored.”
Qingmei thought about it and realized that her talented person was indeed not an arrogant person.
"What a pity."
These are all new clothes, good clothes.
Qinghe didn't scold her for being short-sighted.
She also felt pity.
Among the new clothes that were delivered, there was a pomegranate red floral skirt.
Such true pomegranate red was extraordinary.
I heard that dyes from the Central Plains could not be dyed.
It should be a flower from the foreign countries that could dye such a bright and bright red.
If such a skirt could be folded into money, it would be enough for ordinary people outside to eat for a year.
It would be a pity to just put it in a box and leave it alone.
But compared with the talent's future, these clothes are nothing.
What Qing He said was partially correct, but he still didn't fully guess what Xie Ning was thinking.
Xie Ning didn't want to wear something so eye-catching, especially that red skirt.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
She had never seen anyone wearing such red in this palace.
If you really wear that skirt, it will make people hate you.
Besides, she felt more comfortable wearing old clothes.
"Talent, Wangyun Pavilion sent an invitation."
"Wangyun Pavilion" Qinghe handed over the invitation.
Not only was Xie Ning puzzled, but she was also surprised.
The person who lives in Wangyun Pavilion is Liang Meiren.
Xie Ning went to Wangyun Pavilion once, not long after entering the palace.
After Liang Meiren's rank became a beauty, she once invited those who entered the palace together to have a gathering at Wangyun Pavilion.
They say they are getting together, but in fact they are just to show off their honor.
I remember that Xie Ning was very inconspicuous among everyone at that time, while Liang Meiren was surrounded by stars, and the companions who entered the palace together had countless good things to say.
Even this glory came and went quickly.
A few days after that party, Li Cairen was lucky enough to be promoted to Zhaorong.
And Liang Meiren was gradually forgotten.
At this time, Xie Ning was surprised to receive another post from Wangyun Pavilion.
"I don't think Liang Meiren would leave a message for you without any reason.
Talent, what's written on it?"
Xie Ning opened the invitation and took a look at it: "Invite me to Wangyun Pavilion tomorrow to enjoy the camellia."
Neither Xie Ning nor Qing He would believe this reason.
I don't have much friendship with her at ordinary times, and I haven't heard that Liang Meiren has a preference for growing flowers and grass.
If you don't invite people early, you won't invite them later.
Inviting people at this time is not for the sake of admiring flowers.
"Are you going, Talent?"
Qing He looked unhappy.
What Miss Liang is thinking is as obvious as the lice on the bald man's head.
She has been out of favor for a long time, Wangyun Pavilion has been neglected, and the scenery when she was awarded the title of beauty has long been forgotten.
Even if her rank is higher than Xie Ning's, she can gain everything if she is favored in the palace, and if she falls out of favor, she will lose everything.
Xie Ning is now in a good time of spring breeze, while Liang Meiren is like burned wood, the fire is out, ashes are cold, and no one cares about her.
There is no good banquet and no good meeting.
Liang Meiren asked her to go.
Why was she jealous and angry because of her current situation?
Or was she like Liu Cairen and Bai Meiren, begging her for help?
Xie Ning thought for a while: "She is a beauty and I am a talented person.
I have officially posted the invitation, so I still have to go."
Qinghe thought about it too.
Liang Meiren has been out of favor for a long time, but her rank must be high after all.
"I don't know if Wangyun Pavilion will invite someone else tomorrow or if I can go and find out."
"Okay, go ahead."
Qinghe is different now and in the past.
In the past, Cai Ren was unknown, and no one cared about her as a palace maid.
But once a talented person is favored, a rising tide lifts all boats, and so does her reputation.
As soon as she left the door of Yingxiang Pavilion, many people rushed to her sister to fawn over her.
Without her asking, someone took the initiative to tell her some news.
Of course, Liang Meiren invited more than just Xie Ning.
It is said that the maid of Wangyun Pavilion went to several places today to deliver notes, and the guests invited were all the same people who entered the palace, including Liu who moved from Yingde Pavilion.

Cai Ren, Feng Cai Ren, Sun Cainu, and Li Zhaorong.
Li Zhaorong was the highest-ranking person among those who entered the palace at that time.
After she was promoted to the throne, she moved out of the Houyuan.
Now she lives in the side hall of Zhaoqing Palace to the north of Xiyuan.
She has long distanced herself from her unknown, low-class and low-class former companions who lived in the Houyuan. .
Xie Ning hasn't seen Li Zhaorong for a long time.
I remember that when Caixuan first entered the palace, they were all temporarily placed in Changxi Courtyard near Yeting.
Like ordinary palace ladies, several people lived in one room.
At that time, Li Zhaorong and Xie Ning lived in the same room.
We can't say that we have a deep friendship, but there is a certain degree of friendship.
But this kind of friendship is very thin and will be blown away by the wind.
After they left Changxiyuan and settled in their own homes, their interactions with each other gradually became less and less.
After Li Zhaorong was favored and promoted to the throne, there was no contact with him at all.
This is Xie Ning's temperament.
If we can get along, we can get along.
The paths are different and they are drifting apart, and she doesn't force it.
"I'm asking for it, but I may not appreciate it."
Qing He took out the clothes Xie Ning was going to wear tomorrow and inspected them carefully.
He found that there was a little wrinkle on the sleeves, so he quickly asked Qing Mei to get an iron to iron it.
Iron it flat.
Even though they are just some details, you must not be careless.
On such an occasion, the talented person is a newly rich person, so he should wear more beautiful and luxurious clothes.
But Cai Ren had already picked out his clothes, so Qing He didn't say much.
Xie Ning woke up early in the morning and dressed up carefully, putting on a little rouge so that no matter what the atmosphere was like, she would look good.
Qing He opened the jewelry box and let her choose.
Xie Ning chose a Pisces Bead Walking Shake, thought about it for a while, put it down, and picked another bead flower.
This beaded flower is also good, the workmanship is exquisite, but the materials used are limited.
The jade and agate on it are of average quality, but when put together into a flower shape, it looks very coordinated and elegant.
The receptacle, thin leaves and curved vines are all very beautifully made. .
After Qing He fixed the hairpin for her, Xie Ning adjusted it again.
It looks good like this, certainly not luxurious, but not undignified either.
After changing into the clothes for going out, Qing He served Xie Ning out of Yingxiang Pavilion and went to Wangyun Pavilion for the meeting
