It is said that the queen initially promoted Shi Shunyi because her appearance and body seemed to have many children and good fortune.
Shi Shunyi is indeed not beautiful.
She even looks a bit dull.
She has thick lips and slightly small eyes.
She is wearing a sycamore green palace dress with a chu and crimson skirt lower down.
Not to mention how old-fashioned and bloated she is. .
According to Liang Meiren's previous temper, she would have despised people like Shi Shunyi the most.
She was so vulgar and dull, not to mention that she came from a humble background and was just a maid serving the queen.
Now Miss Liang is not like before.
She knows that her temper and behavior in the past are not pleasing to people, and she has to put a smile on her face even if she is forced to do so.
Shi Shunyi's position was in front of the two of them, and his status was obviously higher than theirs, but he was also in a side position.
Xie Ning wanted to laugh looking at it.
Concubine Shu is really particular about her position.
She divides the invited guests into three, six or nine grades according to their grades, which is exactly right.
For example, Xie Ning was of low rank and had just been awarded the title.
It could be said that she was the least senior among those invited today, so she sat at the farthest back and to the side.
Looking at it this way, she was being treated lightly.
If Xie Ning was more angry and went to the emperor to complain because he was favored, he would not get anything good from the emperor.
There must be no confusion between superiority and inferiority.
With Concubine Shu's arrangement, even the emperor would not be able to say she was at fault.
On the contrary, Xie Ning would most likely be accused of relying on favor to breed arrogance.
I don’t know if this Concubine Shu is really such a strict person who acts according to the palace rules and regulations, or if she has other plans.
Although Chen Jieyu didn't come over to talk to Xie Ning, she and Gao Jieyu got together and whispered and joked from time to time.
The two of them even turned around to look at Xie Ning.
It seemed like they were making fun of her.
Xie Ning was neither impatient nor impatient.
When they both turned around to look at each other later, he simply curled up his lips and nodded with a smile.
The two men watching her were caught red-handed.
Chen Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face froze.
Her brows were raised, her lips were flattened, and her air of contemptuous sarcasm was fixed there.
After all, Gao Jieyu and Xie Ning had no direct conflict.
As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face.
When seeing others smiling and greeting others, Gao Jieyu smiled back as a habit.
After laughing, she realized that the current situation was really not suitable for greeting, and quickly turned her face away.
The force was so strong that the dangling beaded tassels on her hair flew up and almost got tangled with her hair.
Therefore, Xie Ning doesn't like to interfere with Dai Buyao, because he thinks it is inconvenient.
He has to maintain an even-keeled attitude at all times.
People must be honest and steady, otherwise they will easily make a fool of themselves.
After such a smile, the two people finally stopped looking back frequently.
You must know that although the little movements they just made were not painful or itchy, they were buzzing around like flies, which really made people feel a little upset.
Shi Shunyi, who was sitting in the front, turned her head and glanced here seemingly inadvertently, and then quickly turned her head back.
The guests have almost arrived, and the long table against the wall is already filled with gifts from everyone.
The jade bonsai was sandwiched among a bunch of gifts.
It was neither eye-catching nor too shabby.
The embroidered screen given by Meiren Liang is very exquisite, but it is a little smaller and placed at the back.

In the middle is a red coral tree about one foot high.
This is a generous gift, sent by the Concubine Xian.
The Concubine Xian is so polite that no one can get her.
No one in the palace knows the reason.
As soon as the weather turned cold, Concubine Xian's cough and asthma broke out again, and she couldn't leave the house at all.
Concubine Shu finally showed up.
She was gorgeous and dazzling in palace clothes, and she flew into the main hall like a golden and red phoenix.
Everyone stood up to salute and greet Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Stop being so polite.
In fact, I have never loved this birthday.
When I was a child, I treated it like a Chinese New Year, because there are birthday noodles to eat and gifts to receive."
But now that I’m at this age, having a birthday reminds me that I’m another year older.
Oh, it’s so sad to think about it.”
Of course Concubine Shu is joking.
She does not look old at all.
Standing next to Shi Shunyi and Gao Jieyu, anyone would think that Concubine Shu is much younger than the two of them, but Concubine Shu is much younger than Gao Jieyu.
But he's still two years older.
Gao Jieyu smiled and answered: "How old are you, Concubine Shu?
I look at you just like you did when I first entered the palace and saw you for the first time."
"It's said to be a birthday celebration, but in fact it's just an excuse for everyone to get together, sit down and have some tea, and chat.
Normally, if you want to treat guests, you can never have such a complete meal.
It's a pity that my sister Xian Fei can't come, which is a fly in the ointment."
"Speaking of which, the last time I saw Concubine Xian, she seemed to be looking good.
It's just that the weather has been cold and windy recently.
I heard that Qingyun Palace has invited imperial doctors to prepare medicines in the past two days.
It's really not easy.
It seems that Xian Fei is in good condition.
The concubine is very ill this time."
In this situation, Xie Ning and the others have no business talking, so they just need to listen honestly.
Xie Ning felt that when these people mentioned Xian Fei, there was always an unconcealable joy in others' misfortune.
He seemed to feel sorry for her, but trying to make her illness more serious didn't seem like he was really doing her best.
This shouldn't be a surprise.
The women in the harem were as affectionate as sisters when they met.
In fact, they wanted to eat each other alive.
As he was talking, Xie Ning noticed someone coming in from outside.
A middle-aged Shang Gong with a bun in his bun was bending down, carefully supporting a child of about two or three years old to cross the high threshold.
As soon as Concubine Shu saw them, the smile on her face suddenly became gentler: "Yao'er, come to Concubine Mother quickly."
It turns out that this is Princess Yuyao.
Xie Ning has heard of her, but this is the first time he has seen her.
But she remembered that Princess Yuyao seemed to be five years old.
The child didn't look that old.
Most likely the rumors are wrong.
Princess Yuyao is really beautiful.
She wears a red satin dress.
Her hair is shaved, except for a small patch on her forehead, which is tied with a silk flower.

It looks like a feather button on her bald head.
Her eyes are as big as grapes, and she looks lovely.
Xie Ning had never seen such a young child since entering the palace, and he couldn't bear to take it out of his eyes at the first sight.
When Liang Meiren turned her head, she noticed her expression.
Looking at Beauty Xie's unwillingness to blink, she must be very envious.
How could Liang Meiren not be envious of her?
She really wanted to have a child, whether it was a prince or a princess.
As long as she has a child, the emperor will never ignore her so completely.
With a child, she will always have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
The prince has only one son alive, but he has two princesses.
In addition to Princess Yuyao, there is also a younger princess who has not yet been officially named.
As for the others, they either got pregnant and failed to give birth, or they gave birth but failed to raise them.
The Emperor has so many women, all of them are sitting in this room.
But there are so few children.
Xie Ning didn't know whether to sympathize with the emperor or himself first.
The kind of love and tenderness that comes from the bottom of Concubine Shu's heart when facing her daughter is completely different from the polite enthusiasm she shows towards today's guests.
Xie Ning could see how much she cared about her daughter.
After saying a few words, he ordered Shang Gong to take her back to his room to rest.
He told Shang Gong not to let her freeze or eat randomly.
He talked a lot.
Very trivial.
Princess Yuyao came and went in a hurry, only showing once and then leaving again.
Before the banquet started, Eunuch Bai came and brought a reward from the emperor.
After Eunuch Bai left, everyone first raised their glasses to celebrate today's birthday.
Concubine Shu drank a full glass with a smile, raised her hand and said, "Come on, you're welcome, I have to eat a bowl of birthday noodles today."
Ready to go."
Of course there is more than just longevity noodles at the table.
Xie Ning put down his chopsticks after taking two bites of the fruit and concentrated on enjoying the singing and dancing in front of the table.
Sitting in the corner has this advantage, it makes you feel more comfortable.
Liang Meiren didn't eat anything either.
The people in the observation seat looked at her one after another, as if they were picking something.
Thinking of the time she invited him to enjoy the flowers, Xie Ning thought that she was probably looking for an opportunity.
A chance for her to return to the emperor.
Maybe one of the people sitting in the temple today would be willing to help her, but of course this help would not be free.
A woman holding a pipa walked in gracefully.
Xie Ning recognized her.
It was Zhao Ling, the woman who broke into the Suhuai Gate and was captured.
Not long ago, she had given Xie Ning a congratulatory gift.
She was dressed nothing like the first time she was at Anxi Bridge Pavilion.
That time she was wearing a dark red dress, and her figure looked particularly enchanting in the night.
But today she was wearing a cyan dress, which was tightly covered from the neck down, and she looked like a stereotypical old lady.
She bowed and sat on the round stool, plucking the strings and tuning the strings.
The tinkling and consonant music flowed out of her fingertips like the sound of nature.
Hearing it again, I still think her pipa sound is particularly beautiful.
It's a pity that other people's minds are not on listening to the music.

Some are joking in low voices, some are flattering, and some are criticizing, such as Chen Jieyu, who has been reluctant to let go of Xie Ning.
After finishing a piece of music, Concubine Shu said with a smile: "I haven't heard such a good pipa in a while."
She also ordered people to watch it.
Zhao Ling stood up to thank him, and then bowed to everyone on the left and right sides.
I don't know if it was Xie Ning's misunderstanding, but she always felt that Zhao Ling's salute just now was facing her.
In fact, she should thank Eunuch Xiaoye for breaking in that time.
Xie Ning didn't dare to take credit, but she didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, so it couldn't be considered as a help.
Such sincere gratitude from the other party made Xie Ning feel even more uncomfortable.
This always made her feel like a liar.
After drinking a few glasses of wine at the banquet, Xie Ning couldn't get used to drinking wine, even though it was just a sweet wine with a weak taste.
Xie Ning's face turned red.
He pressed his hand on his chest and felt a heart under his palm.
It was beating very fast
