At the New Year's Eve banquet, Xie Ning met all the prominent figures in the harem for the first time.
She met the eldest prince for the first time.
This child should be five years old, but he looks as thin as a child of about three years old.
He can't even hold up the thick brocade mink fur on his body, as if he will be weighed down by the clothes at any time.
The eldest prince only stayed for a while, and Princess Yuyao and the younger Princess Yubin were only brought out by the nurse.
Princess Yuyao and Princess Yubin are both very young, so it makes sense for them to be carried in and out by their nannies.
The eldest prince is already over five years old, almost six years old.
At such an age, he can't even walk.
It's really heart-wrenching to see.
The eldest prince's biological mother came from a humble background.
It was said that she was just a palace maid, but somehow she was favored by the emperor, and she became pregnant.
It's a pity that her life was not good.
She died after the child was born.
The eldest prince has been in poor health, and the imperial doctor can't explain why.
Xie Ning's seat was at the back, and Liang Meiren was still sitting next to her, while Liu Cairen, Zhao Cairen and Zhou Baolin were huddled in the corner.
The dishes on the table got cold very quickly after they were served.
Fortunately, Qing He had anticipated this and went out two more times to bring boiling water.
She drank the hot water and pulled the plate of pine nuts near her closer.
Slowly eat the pine nuts.
Liang Meiren advised her from the side: "Be careful and you may have split your fingernails.
I cut my hand with the pine nut shell that time.
Even though the shell is small, the scratch was quite deep.
It took seven or eight years to get through it."
OK."
She showed her hand to Xie Ning, and there was indeed a mark on her right middle finger that had not healed for a long time.
"It's better to let the palace maid peel it off."
Xie Ning thanked her for her kindness: "I'll peel it off myself slowly and enjoy it."
In fact, it's not that I want to eat, I just find something to do to pass the time.
The banquet lasted for a long time, and talking took a lot of energy and energy.
Xie Ning was willing to find something to do.
After a while, he peeled out a pine nut and stuffed it between his teeth.
Liang Meiren came over to help her peel it off.
Liang Meiren was wearing a willow-yellow palace dress, with a silver-colored beaded and brocaded waistcoat over it.
It looked like it had been specially made for the New Year.
Liang Meiren was not favored.
Even if the people in the palace did not dare to treat her blatantly, they could not easily get any good or new things into her hands.
The outfit that Meiren Liang is currently wearing is her best outfit this year, and she is only willing to wear it now.
From now to the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there are so many days, and she has to see people almost every day.
Liang Meiren has already found out last year's old clothes, has them ironed, and is ready to wear the old and new clothes in a few days.
When she saw Xie Ning today, she secretly looked at her clothes.
Xie Ning did wear a new suit, but he didn't wear the beaded hairpin, it was too eye-catching.
If anyone had a hairpin like that, Xie Ning would definitely wear it.
But now this hairpin is the only one in the palace, why should she bother to make more people hate her?
Liang Meiren said that she was helping to peel the pine nuts, but she took good care of her nails and peeled them improperly.
The kernels of the pine nuts that she peeled out were all broken into pieces.

Not to mention that Xie Ning didn't know how to eat them, she herself was too embarrassed to give them to Xie Ning.
Ning said that he would treat her to food.
Qinghe stood aside and pursed his lips to hold back laughter.
Liang Meiren was one of the most talented women in the palace who could write poetry and paint, but apart from those romantic things, she was not good at anything else.
In Qinghe's view, poetry, painting and other things should not be eaten or worn, that is, they are just the icing on the cake.
Women are no better than men, so it is better not to be so flamboyant and frivolous.
What's the benefit of tinkering with this thing?
Look at Liang Meiren, isn't she out of favor now?
Liang Meiren motioned to Xie Ning to look forward: "Look, Concubine Xian is probably ill and will not fully recover.
I've seen her in a while and it's time for her to leave the banquet and return to the palace."
Concubine Xian wore a silver-red palace dress, and Concubine Shu wore a begonia red dress.
The two reds were as bright as each other.
Concubine Shu had a plump figure, and the begonia red she wore was very charming.
Concubine Xian is a person who has been ill for a long time, her cheeks are almost sunken, and her body is skinny.
Wearing such a new dress on her is like stealing someone else's clothes, it seems empty and hanging on her body.
Xie Ning's eyes didn't dare to linger on her body, and he couldn't bear to take a closer look.
"When I entered the palace, Concubine Xian's complexion was better than now."
Liang Meiren whispered: "At the palace banquet in the first year of entering the palace, Concubine Xian even played a song.
Her illness has not improved in the past few years. , The spirit is getting worse and worse.”
After chatting for a while, Qinghe went out and came back, whispering in Xie Ning's ear: "Eunuch Ye is here."
Eunuch Xiaoye came up to greet her and salute her.
He was sent by the emperor just to see Beauty Xie.
This made Eunuch Xiao Ye couldn't help but marvel.
The emperor was in Wende Hall, but most of his thoughts were in the harem thinking about Beauty Xie.
Afraid that she would be cold, hungry, tired, or that there would be too many people at the palace banquet making her uncomfortable.
The emperor's treatment of beauties was indeed different.
Eunuch Xiaoye has seen precedent before.
Let’s not talk about Concubine Shu.
She is Concubine Shu, so she is naturally different from others.
However, when Princess Yubing's biological mother, Han Chongrong, was pregnant, Eunuch Xiaoye saw it with his own eyes.
The emperor did not care about her all the time and cared about her in every possible way.
When Eunuch Xiao Ye came up to greet him and speak, most people in the palace had actually seen him, but they just pretended not to see him and acted as if nothing had happened.
As for what they feel in their hearts, only they themselves know.
After Eunuch Xiaoye left, the emperor ordered people to reward him with vegetables.
There are two ways of concubine Shu and two ways of virtuous concubine.
This is all as it should be.
In addition to her two, Xie Ning also got a snack.
The snacks were still steaming when they were brought to the table.
The little eunuch who brought the snacks explained: "This snack was brought with a steamer.
The steamer was removed just before entering the palace.
It was the emperor's personal order for the meal to be served."
Carefully prepared and cooked in the room.”
The snacks on the plate are not candied desserts, but a plate of small buns.
The buns are only a little bigger than longan, and there are only seven or eight in a plate.
Xie Ning tasted one.

It was filled with ham and chicken.
The filling was fragrant and delicious.
When I tried the second one, it was stuffed with fresh meat and shrimp.
It turns out that this dish actually makes so many different kinds of buns.
Xie Ning couldn't stop eating as soon as she started eating.
A whole plate of buns went into her stomach, and she still felt like she was still unsatisfied.
In the Hall of Wende, the emperor came out of the palace to take a breath while changing his clothes.
He was told that Beauty Xie liked the snacks that the emperor had given her so much that she ate the whole plate.
Bai Hongqi knelt on one knee and straightened the emperor's belt.
When he looked up, he saw the smile on the emperor's face.
That smile showed satisfaction and relief.
I heard that Xie Meiren had eaten all the snacks, and the emperor was even more happy and relieved than he had eaten it
