As soon as mid-autumn passed, the weather seemed to get cold all of a sudden.
Autumn seems to have come very early this year.
Compared with before, there were more people greeting me with smiles, and there were also open and covert attacks, but they were still within the tolerable range.
In the final analysis, it still depends on who has the favor.
I haven't seen the emperor for half a month, but I met Eunuch Bai once and brought her tribute oranges and grapes from Nanzhou.
The tribute orange is so big that it requires two hands to hold it.
Its skin is golden, as if it were carved from jade.
Not to mention the taste, the appearance alone is more than enough to serve as a royal tribute.
The grapes were even more beautiful, with a doulu measuring one and a half feet long.
Xie Ning asked Qing He to measure them with a ruler.
The purple-red translucent berries are squeezed together tightly, making people reluctant to pick them off and eat them.
If you pick one, it will destroy this naturally grown perfection.
There was so much that Xie Ning couldn’t finish it by himself.
The oranges are cute and have thick skins that can withstand growing, but the grapes can't afford to be delayed.
Xie Ning used small scissors to cut the grapes into small bunches.
Liu Cainu and Sun Cainu happened to come, so he gave some to them.
Qi Shanggong also came to give her new autumn clothes and some more.
All those who received the gift were overjoyed.
Liu Cainu and Sun Cainu didn't talk about it, but Qi Shanggong was a wise man.
He knew that only a few people in the palace could enjoy the tribute grapes.
The beauty’s dignity is also Qi Shanggong’s own dignity.
The peacock feather brocade waistcoat was not made by Qi Shanggong.
The needlework bureau was a big place with many people, and she was only responsible for the back garden.
She had heard about that piece of material, and when it was delivered to the palace, the entire needlework bureau was shocked.
Not everyone is lucky enough to encounter such a rare thing.
Qi Shanggong also went to see it once and was lucky enough to touch it.
At that time, all of them said that they didn't know which concubine would be lucky enough to wear this material.
It can be said that there are no secrets in the palace.
This piece of material was finally cut by Liu Shanggong himself, and the most exquisite parts were used to make a waistcoat, which was worn on Xie Meiren.
Qi Shanggong has also received a lot of benefits from others these days.
For example, Liu Cairen used to live in Yingxiang Pavilion.
As far as the trustee is concerned, he hopes that her autumn clothes will be made with more care.
Qishang Palace accepted some of them and some did not.
Many people wanted to imitate Xie Meiren's way of dressing, and they all decided that the emperor liked to dress like this this year.
In this case, they had no reason not to follow suit.
Not only did they dress, they also learned how Xie Beauty combed her bun, and asked about what rouge she used and what kind of incense she wore.
Qi Shanggong couldn't help but feel a headache when he thought that when these clothes were made, there would be imitation Xie Meiren of different heights, short, fat, and thin everywhere in the back garden.
Those people were afraid that their efforts would be in vain.
Qi Shanggong was very well informed.
The emperor also rewarded a batch of materials for the needlework bureau to cut new clothes for Xie Meiren.
As for the style and color, Qi Shanggong has not seen it yet.
Speaking of which, the emperor has so many important things to be busy with, yet he can still think about tailoring clothes for the woman he likes, which shows the difference between Xie Meiren and the emperor.
After finishing the grapes, Gongju was reluctant to eat them.
When Xie Ning went to accompany the driver, the emperor asked her: "Are the grapes delicious?"
Xie Ning nodded and smiled: "It's very sweet and very delicious.

The juice flowed to my hands and it was so sticky that it was useless to wipe it.
I had to wash it off with water to wash it off."
The emperor smiled: "Really?"
There are also grapes in the Changning Hall, which have just been washed and are stained with water drops, making them crystal clear.
Xie Ning peeled off the skins of the grapes one by one.
The emperor was looking at the grapes.
He just opened his mouth and she naturally brought the peeled grapes to his mouth.
The emperor felt that it was good for her not to like incense and heavy makeup.
At least she wouldn't have to taste the spices on the woman's hands when eating grapes at this time.
When they are close, they will not chew on the powder in their mouths.
Xie Ning could tell that the emperor was looking more haggard than before.
The blue marks under his eyes were heavy and there was a deep vertical mark between his eyebrows.
It seemed that he frowned more often than he smiled.
After eating half a bunch of grapes, when she got up to wash her hands, it was Eunuch Bai who personally served her with a towel.
This time Xie Ning was really surprised.
Considering that Eunuch Bai is now in a position below one person and above ten thousand people, if he treats others with such courtesy, I'm afraid he must ask for something.
Eunuch Bai just smiled and asked, "I wonder what Beauty Xie wants to have for dinner."
Xie Ning was startled for a moment, then thought for a while and said: "If you want to drink fresh bamboo shoot soup, I will need a caramel seed and a vegetarian fried tofu.
Let the kitchen see what suitable vegetables are available and make a steamed dish.
I'll take care of the rest." ” Eunuch Bai responded and went down.
When dinner was served, it turned out that Xie Ning had all the dishes he ordered.
Xie Ning first served the emperor some soup.
The ham tastes particularly fresh and the soup is very light.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of soup, the emperor began to eat.
It is true that I eat less than before.
Eunuch Bai on the side already felt very relieved.
There were many and complicated government affairs these days, there were border troubles and internal worries.
The emperor slept late and woke up early, and no one in the harem got close to him.
According to Eunuch Bai, the food is not delicious and he doesn't want women, which shows how difficult the emperor's life is.
Finally, Beauty Xie came today.
Eunuch Bai felt that the emperor might not have the appetite if he presented meals in the same old way, so he might as well let Beauty Xie make arrangements.
Xie Meiren comes from an ordinary background and never orders complicated rich dishes.
I remember that one time when she came, there was a stewed dish of various kinds of food for dinner that day.
The preparation was similar to the way Buddha jumped over the wall, and the aroma was fragrant.
After Xie Meiren tasted it, the emperor asked her how it tasted.
She said it was delicious, but after eating this and eating anything else, it would lose its taste.
The emperor smiled and said: "Yes."
The emperor only took one bite of the braised Baiwei dish.
Eunuch Bai felt very puzzled.
It was said that the kitchen had to start preparing three days in advance for such an expensive dish.
Why didn’t the emperor and Xie Meiren eat more?
It was not in the right taste.
He didn't dare to ask the emperor, and Xie Meiren probably couldn't ask anything.
Eunuch Bai has always had this question in his mind.
The last time Xiaoye took Xie Meiren on his way back, everyone reported everything to him when he came back.

Eunuch Bai nodded in approval: "Well done."
If you want to please your master, it's not just about being pretty or being nice.
Xiaoye did this very well to give Xie Meiren face, so he couldn't rush to claim credit in front of his master.
If you do things too hastily, you will definitely not go far.
After dinner, the emperor did not return to the desk.
He stood up and stretched his waist.
Xie Ning felt as if he could hear the crunching sound of his joints being stretched open.
"There's plenty to eat and let's go out for a walk."
Xie Ning followed the emperor out of Changning Hall.
There is a stone lantern at a distance on both sides of the road.
The emperor's hand reached out and took her hand.
His palm was dry and warm, slightly larger than her hand.
“Have you ever thought about moving somewhere else to live?”
Xie Ning said softly: "I'm used to living here, I don't want to change."
"Okay, let's stay here first."
This means that we have to change places after all.
Xie Ning thought for a moment, and if he really wanted to change, maybe the emperor would point out a palace to live in that was closer to Changning Hall.
She was used to living in Yingxiang Pavilion, but it was indeed a bit far from Changning Palace.
The moon has risen, half-circle or not, hanging on the eaves of the palace wall.
Night birds chirped from time to time, and everything was quiet.
The lantern's light was dim and uncertain, only illuminating a small area around them.
"Come on, watch your step."
Xie Ning followed the emperor step by step up the palace wall.
The wind on the wall was stronger than on the ground.
The emperor raised his hand, and Eunuch Bai quickly stepped forward and held the cloak close to him.
The emperor first put on a cloak for Xie Ning, but showed his inexperience when tying the cloak's belt.
After both of them fastened their cloaks, the emperor took her hand and walked to the wall, motioning her to look away.
In three years, Xie Ning saw outside the palace for the first time.
The night is vast and thousands of houses are lit with lights
