August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.
There was a lot of joy in Yingxiang Pavilion on this day, and it was certainly not because of the festival.
Mid-Autumn Festival can happen in any year, but the good thing about promotion is not something that can happen every year.
Xie Ning's rank has been promoted to one level, and now she is a fifth-level beauty.
But Xie Ning himself always felt not so happy.
In the past, whether it was Qinghe Qingmei or other people who interacted with her, most of the time they would call her "Xie Cairen".
She was already used to it, and almost thought that she was a talented person with the surname Xie and Ning, but with the emperor's decree, her name was changed.
Will others call her "Xie Beauty" from now on?
I feel a little too embarrassed to be called by someone else's beauty, and I simply can't bear to hear it.
She knew in her heart that this was just a rank title, just like the talented people in the past, and did not mean "beauty".
But I understand, but it still sounds awkward.
When she was called a talented person, she once thought that she was not talented.
Now that she was about to be called a beauty, she wanted to cover her face and tell everyone that she was not beautiful.
It's a good thing to be promoted.
The higher the rank, the higher the salary.
On the surface, these are the benefits.
But everyone knows that the benefits are not limited to these.
As soon as the decree was issued, the low-level talented women living in the back garden came over to congratulate him.
Liu Cairen gave him a jade bracelet as a congratulation.
Xie Ning didn't look good when he saw the gift.
She had seen Liu Cairen's jade bracelet before.
It was when they first entered the palace, and everyone had not yet passed the final step of personal selection by the emperor, and of course they did not have their respective titles.
Liu Cairen was still known as Liu Yuhua at that time.
She treasured this jade bracelet very much.
She said that her grandmother took it out from the bottom of the box and gave it to her because she was going to the palace.
She said that it was something that had been passed down for several generations.
Originally, it could only be passed down to the daughter-in-law and not to the married daughter.
But Liu Yuhua is different.
She can enter the palace and may become the most promising person in the Liu family.
But now Liu Cairen sent this bracelet as a gift to congratulate her on her promotion.
I don’t know what she was thinking when she put the bracelet in the gift box, but Xie Ning felt that the bracelet was too hot.
She really didn't want to take it.
But she couldn't return the bracelet to Liu Cairen.
"Master, how to deal with this?"
Qing He has always been attentive, and she soon discovered that her master was not used to being called a beauty, and she probably still wasn't used to it.
So she was smart enough not to change the title of beauty now.
"Put it away."
"yes."
Judging from her master's expression, she didn't want to see this bracelet again.
The next gift surprised Xie Ning again.
This is also an ornament, a silk gold step shake set with precious stones.
Who gave this to me?
Xie Ning picked up the sticker underneath the gift box and gently opened it.
"Zhao Ling and Wang Moyan congratulate you."
Both names were very unfamiliar and she probably had never heard of them before.

Many people came to congratulate me today, some of whom gave gifts but did not come, or some who came but did not come through the door.
Qinghe must know these things better than Xie Ning.
Qing He explained in a low voice: "The two people who came were from the Jiaofang Department.
They gave the things and left.
I didn't want to accept them.
It was just that there were so many people and it was so chaotic that I didn't have time to say anything more."
It's chaotic enough during the day.
"Do you remember what the person giving the gift looks like?"
"Remember, there's a boy and a girl.
The girl's face is still a little injured, and she didn't cover it up even though she applied powder."
Xie Ning knew who it was.
In fact, she didn't help much with what happened that day.
It was all about Eunuch Xiaoye selling her favors.
As a result, people were still thinking of giving her gifts.
Liu Cairen had always wanted to get the Holy Favor, and he was looking for people everywhere.
Even if he had some savings in his hand, there was not much left now.
If she had something better, she wouldn't give her this bracelet as a gift.
Xie Ning felt that it was even more unsettling to accept the gifts from Jiaofangsi, especially since she knew that these two people should belong to the lowly class.
She didn't know how difficult their lives were, and Zhi Buyao didn't know either.
What is its origin?
For Xie Ning, this is just the icing on the cake, dispensable.
But for them, it may be an inheritance they have accumulated for a long time.
Accepting these made Xie Ning feel very uneasy.
As for these two gifts, she somewhat understood them.
In addition, are there hidden hidden meanings behind those gifts?
Today was her good day after all, and it was also the annual Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xie Ning put aside all these troubled thoughts and discussed with Qing He how to celebrate the festival in the evening.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival.
Some poets wrote that they miss their loved ones every festive season.
The moon becomes bright and full once a month, but humans cannot be like the moon.
It has been three years since he entered the palace, and Xie Ning has never seen his relatives again.
Not just her, but everyone else in the palace is the same.
Like Qing He, she entered the palace much earlier than Xie Ning.
After years of separation, she couldn't see her relatives, and she didn't even know any news about her hometown.
The so-called Reunion Festival may indeed be a festival of reunion for people outside the palace walls.
But to the people within the palace walls, the word "reunion" sounds really ironic.
Whether it's reunion or irony, life has to go on.
One day, one year, one lifetime.
Today is the festival, and I caught up with Xie Ning Jinfeng.
The people waiting in the yard gathered together, led by Qing He, to salute and congratulate Xie Ning.
Xie Ning wore a brightly colored dress, stood up with a smile, and then everyone There are rewards.
This time, everyone is naturally happy.
There is no reunion, but at least there is some monetary comfort.
Xie Ning didn't go to anyone else's invitation in the evening, and he didn't plan to invite anyone else.
Although she followed the old practice of being promoted to the first level during the festival, it didn't seem too abrupt, but this time she was the only one to be promoted, which felt wrong.

From the Chinese New Year to mid-autumn now, she is not the only one who has been favored for most of the year.
Those who have no rank are looking forward to getting the title, and those who have rank are all craning their necks in anticipation of promotion.
A talented person wants to be promoted to a beauty, Jieyu wants to be promoted to a concubine, and the concubines may be looking forward to taking the next step.
After all, there is no queen in the harem.
Who doesn’t expect to be the golden carp that jumps over the dragon gate?
However, this time only Xie Ning was promoted.
Doesn't this mean that she is the only one who dominates the emperor's heart, and all the sisters in the harem are in silence?
What does it mean to be the target of public criticism, and what does it mean to worry about inequality instead of being few?
The last thing Xie Ning wants now is to be in the limelight.
What he needs most is to keep a low profile.
It's best if everyone can quickly look away from Yingxiang Pavilion.
Qinghe got some news from other channels, saying that because of the floods this summer, the emperor had even canceled the autumn hunting, and of course there would no longer be large-scale rewards in the harem.
Xie Ning understands this.
But it's either not sealed at all.
What's the point of sealing just one?
Xie Ning is really afraid of being eaten alive.
Because he was in a bad mood, or maybe it was boring to spend the Reunion Festival alone, Xie Ning only ate half of the mooncake, didn't take a few bites of the food, and went to bed early to rest.
The next day, people were still coming and going in Yingxiang Pavilion.
Early in the morning, Zhou Gonggong Zhou Xingchen came over.
What he meant was that Yingxiang Pavilion was a remote place and the palace had not been repaired for several years.
There are many better palaces in the back garden.
They are large and the palaces are more elegant.
If Beauty Xie is interested, she can choose one of them and move there.
Zhou Xunchen was the deputy general manager of Houyuan.
He finally caught a favored seedling, so he was naturally unwilling to let her go.
If the emperor wanted to find a place for Xie Meiren to live, of course Zhou Xunchen would not dare to say anything more.
But if Xie Meiren is dissatisfied with her current residence, it would be because Zhou Xunchen's service to her was not attentive.
"Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for thinking about it, but I'm used to living here.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep if I change the place."
Zhou Xunchen can no longer observe and size up this beauty Xie without any scruples like before.
However, he could still tell whether Xie Meiren's words were true or false.
It seemed that she really didn't want to move, and she wasn't just waiting for someone to visit Mao Lu again and again.
After leaving Yingxiang Pavilion, Zhou Xuchen pinched the purse in his sleeve.
The contents of the purse were the same as when he first came to deliver the good news.
Beauty Xie is really a wonderful person.
That time he didn't take a fancy to the small amount of money, and rewarded it directly to the little eunuch after he came out.
This time the gift was still so much, but Zhou Xunchen carefully put the purse into his sleeve
