The emperor picked up the book again, but his mind was obviously not on business.
He watched Xie Ning's movements carefully.
She cut the cotton according to the paper pattern, and then started sewing stitch by stitch.
Xie Ning felt uncomfortable being looked at by him and felt that he should explain something.
"I specifically requested this cloth from Qi Shanggong.
There is not much cloth, so I can't waste it.
Children's clothes are easier to make.
There is no need to embroider or put on a collar.
You just have to be careful to hide the threads inside, otherwise they will fray.
"Child's."
"Who taught you these?
Did you learn these when you were at home?"
"No."
Xie Ning smiled: "When I was at home, my aunt doted on me so much.
I came to play every day like my cousin and the others.
They also had homework, and I didn't have to take professional exams.
Besides playing, I still had fun. , I haven’t learned anything at all from Fang Shanggong and Qi Shanggong.”
After sewing for a long time, she only finished sewing the front and back pieces.
She had to wait until tomorrow to sew the two sleeves.
Qing He and the others fetched water and came in to help the emperor and Xie Ning wash themselves.
Xie Ning sat in front of the mirror and took off the hairpin and earrings.
The emperor leaned against the couch and watched her movements.
When Xie Ning raised his arm to take off the earrings, the small earlobes were reflected crystal clear by the candlelight, as exquisite and beautiful as shells.
She found someone behind her looking at her, turned her face sideways and smiled.
The emperor couldn't help but smile too.
The two of them were lying upright, but the emperor's hand was twirling her ears again and again, as if he was playing with some precious toy.
"Itchy" Xie Ning's voice trembled a little.
The emperor paused, but kept his hand on the same place, and asked softly: "When did you pierce your ears and eyes?"
Xie Ning thought back for a moment: "When I was ten years old."
"Why is it so late?"
The emperor originally asked casually, but felt strange when he heard her answer.
"When I was young, I was afraid of pain.
My aunt tried to pierce my ears and eyes several times, but my uncle stopped me.
Later, as I got older, people kept asking about me when I went out.
It was really shameful, and my uncle couldn't stop me anymore, so my aunt just stopped me.
Prick me."
The emperor never thought there was anything wrong with having his ears pierced, but now he feels it is a pity.
The round and flawless ear beads are like natural treasures.
Having a piercing always feels like an artificial flaw.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt.
It takes three to nine days to prick your ears and eyes.
It's cold and your ears will freeze, so you won't feel much.
Besides, it's not easy to get pricked when it's cold."
Of course the emperor had never heard of such trivial matters about the little girl's family before, and had never cared about it, but now that he heard her talk about it, it was as if he had actually seen this scene before his eyes.

What did she look like when she was ten years old?
Did she cry or act coquettishly?
I really want to take a look.
Hearing the wind outside the window getting louder again, the Emperor finally retracted his hand out of mercy, and Xie Ning quickly rubbed his ears several times.
The emperor held her hand and put it back under the quilt: "Don't make trouble, go to sleep."
Who is making trouble?
This is what a thief calls a thief.
But the long-standing awe for the emperor was still in his heart.
After Xie Ning muttered such a "disrespectful" word in his heart, he moved closer to the emperor with a guilty conscience.
It was already dawn when she woke up, and she had no idea when the emperor left.
Qing He had been staying by her side.
When he saw her waking up, he quickly got up and came over to serve her while calling people in.
Xie Ning yawned lazily: "When did the Emperor leave?
Why didn't you call me?"
"The emperor is not allowed to scream.
He said that he wants you to sleep a little longer.
When the emperor left, he also said that he asked you not to just focus on sewing.
Your eyes can't bear it."
Xie Ning took the steaming towel and covered his face.
The heat seemed to penetrate from every sweat pore into his skin.
His whole body seemed to relax, and he felt indescribably happy.
When this piece was no longer hot, he would replace it with another.
After heating three pieces in a row, Xie Ning washed his face and applied a thin layer of facial fat and that was it.
If she doesn't go out, the emperor won't come during the day, and she doesn't even have to draw her eyebrows.
It’s not that I’m lazy, but I think it’s nice to have such a clean and refreshing face.
Fang Shanggong came in from outside, feeling cold, stood by the door and took off his cloak.
Xie Ning looked at the breakfast table and turned around to see her.
"Fang Shanggong is here, have you had breakfast?"
The implication is that if you haven't eaten yet, let's have some together.
It's already this hour, of course Fang Shanggong won't still have an empty stomach.
So Xie Ning had to eat alone.
He rolled the melon shreds and ham in pancakes, smeared them with a layer of sauce, and ate them deliciously.
It's best to eat this with hot porridge.
Fang Shanggong waited for her to finish eating before reporting the events of today one by one.
One thing is to send people to Qingyun Palace to give two gifts.
After all, Concubine Xian has been bedridden since returning from the winter solstice.
Xie Ning couldn't go visit him in this situation, but he couldn't ignore it and pretend he didn't know.
Another thing was that Zhou Xunchen sent someone to tell him that he was already selecting a wet nurse for Xie Ning's unborn child.
As a rule, princes and princesses are required to have two to four wet nurses.
This matter must not be taken lightly and preparations must be made in advance.
Hu Rong went to Qingyun Palace in person and came back soon.
He went inside first to talk.
"The things have been delivered.
Eunuch Lu from Qingyun Palace said thank you, Master, for remembering me.
Concubine Xian is fine.

It's just that she got sick when the weather got cold and couldn't leave the house.
He also said that when Concubine Xian gets better, he will definitely invite Master.
I often go there to sit, drink tea and talk.”
Xie Ning nodded: "I understand, is there anything else?"
Hu Rong reported back: "Shu Fei, Shi Shunyi, and Gao Jieyu happened to be visiting Qingyun Palace today."
When Hu Rong came out, Concubine Shu and the others went in.
Hu Rong was waiting aside, and he didn't come back until they went in.
Hu Rong knew that he was not worth mentioning as a little eunuch in front of people like Concubine Shu, but he didn't know that someone had noticed him.
After entering Qingyun Palace, Gao Jieyu said to Shi Shunyi: "Why did the eunuch outside the door just now look like someone from Yingxiang Pavilion?"
Shi Shunyi was always taciturn, so she only said: "I didn't pay much attention."
Mentioning Yingxiang Pavilion, Gao Jieyu felt sour and uncomfortable.
She felt that she was not old yet, but waves of young and beautiful beauties were being selected into the palace, and each one competed with the other.
At the Winter Solstice Banquet, she even took a look at Beauty Xie.
Her skin was so tender that water would flow out of her if she pinched her.
Qingyun Palace was filled with a medicinal smell.
There was also a charcoal basin in the room.
Mostly because there were patients, it was much hotter than other places.
The heat kept rising and the smell of the medicine became more pungent.
Gao Jieyu frowned and wanted to cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, but she knew she couldn't do that.
Concubine Shu invited them to come to Qingyun Palace to visit the patient, but Gao Jieyu didn't want to come at first.
When she heard that the emperor stayed at Yingxiang Pavilion again last night, she felt panicked.
Secondly, Concubine Xian's coughing and wheezing syndrome is very common.
As soon as Gao Jieyu heard her coughing sound coming from inside, she felt uncomfortable all over
