Concubine Shu left two young girls to live in Yanning Palace.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Concubine Shu posted a post inviting people to come and enjoy the flowers.
Unfortunately, Xie Ning didn't make it.
She had leg cramps in the middle of the night.
She suddenly screamed in pain when she stretched out her legs, which frightened Qing He to get up and come over to see what was going on.
Not only Qing He, as soon as the lights in the inner room turned on, others also got up.
Even Fang Shanggong came over to take a look.
He was relieved when he realized that her calf was cramped.
He ordered Qing He to apply hot compress to her and gently massage her stiff feet.
Pull up and massage the calf back and forth.
It took a long time to figure it out.
Xie Ning wasn't in good spirits when she got up in the morning.
Fang Shanggong definitely couldn't let her go out to enjoy the flowers, and Xie Ning didn't want to go either.
This time last year, she was quite happy to take Qinghe and Qingmei to enjoy the flowers.
There is a large peach tree in the back garden, with scorching green peach blossoms and a leisurely pool of water.
She also made a garland of flowers and willow branches and put it on her head.
At that time, life was simpler than now.
Although she did not have the luxury of food and clothing now, she allowed herself to live well every day.
In her current life, in the eyes of others, she has gained a lot, but with every gain comes a loss.
What if two lives were put in front of her for her to choose?
Xie Ning would choose now without hesitation.
Although she feels melancholy when she thinks of the freedom she had in the past, she now has something she wants to cherish.
She wanted to give birth to the child well, protect him, and raise him up.
This is her child, and he is growing day by day in her belly.
Every time he moved, Xie Ning felt a strange yet joyful feeling.
She often thought of her mother and her father, whom she could not remember at all.
His father passed away so early that Xie Ning didn't even remember what he looked like.
He didn't even have a few things left behind.
Apart from a few old clothes, an old inkstone, and a few old books, there was nothing else.
Her good uncles and aunts, plus a grandmother who was partial to her armpits, almost bullied the mother and daughter into insignificance.
They had almost left the house.
How could they still keep her father's belongings?
But later, Xie Ning heard others say several times that she looked more like her father.
Sometimes she would look in the mirror and imagine what her father looked like, how tall he was, what his eyebrows looked like, and whether his temper was good or not.
And now, she is also going to have a child.
Living in her uncle's house, although everyone treated her very well, sometimes she would still realize that she was an outsider.
After all, her surname was not Lin, but those in the Xie family could not be considered her relatives.
Now she will have a close relative.
She wished she knew what he looked like now.
No, there is no rush, there are still a few months.
She will wait patiently for him to be born.
Xie Ning gently touched his belly with satisfaction.
Not only the children, but also the emperor.
The emperor was very kind to her, something she never dared to hope for.
She didn't know when she started looking forward to his coming.

Every time he came, the empty palace would suddenly be filled and lively.
She felt that her heart was also filled to the brim.
When she was selected into the palace, she knew that she would serve the emperor for the rest of her life.
But at that time, the emperor was too high and far away for her.
From Yingxiang Pavilion to Changning Hall, there were thousands of mountains and rivers in between, and she had never thought about how to get there.
But the emperor came over, walked up to her, and stopped.
Xie Ning thought about that time, and she was a little confused.
Why did the emperor stop at that time?
If he comes in the evening, remember to ask him.
The sun was just right outside, so Xie Ning wanted to go out for a walk and bask in the sun as usual.
There are also two peach trees in the small garden of Yong'an Palace.
Several peach blossoms have bloomed on the sunny branches, and the colors are extremely delicate.
Xie Ning stood under the tree and raised his head.
Against the blue sky, these flowers were really pleasing to the eye.
Qinghe neatly placed the mattress on the stone stool for her to sit down and rest before leaving.
Qingmei also put the refreshments on the table.
Xie Ning held the tea and said, "You two are too careful.
You just walked a few steps and carried so many things with you."
Qing He smiled: "These are all prepared in advance.
I thought that the master would go out to enjoy the flowers today, but it turned out that they were all useless.
But if we don't go out, we can enjoy the peach blossoms in the yard by ourselves.
We don't have to go as far as they do.
The cold wind is much stronger.”
Xie Ning amused her: "According to what you said, I still made a profit by not going to enjoy the flowers."
Qinghe and Qingmei laughed together.
The two of them were actually relieved that their master was not going to enjoy the flowers.
The fact of the hand stove last time frightened both of them, for fear that it would happen again.
With so many people admiring the flowers and being in the garden, it would be extremely easy for something to happen.
If they make any mistake then, they will regret it.
How wonderful it is now.
If you want to relax, take a walk around Yong'an Palace.
It's quiet and safe, and it couldn't be more suitable.
Xie Ning himself actually didn’t really want to go.
She likes flower viewing, but it also depends on who she is doing it with.
If she could feel free and comfortable with Qing He and the others, she would be happy.
If she could be with the emperor, chatting and laughing while enjoying the spring scenery, she would also be looking forward to it.
But enjoying flowers with a bunch of women who don't know each other very well, and who don't even know if they are plotting against me, can't be called enjoyment.
"When more flowers bloom, you can break off two branches and put them in a vase."
Now, the weather is still cold and there are not many flowers blooming.
Qinghe looked at the two peach trees carefully, pointed to the side against the wall and said, "My slave, just look at this branch.
After breaking it, you won't touch the tiles."
"Okay, that's it."
Xie Ning said, "Would you like to mark it so that you won't be unable to find it later?"
As soon as she said this, Qingmei stupidly went up to make a mark.
She took out a string from her purse and tied it to the peach branch that Qinghe mentioned.

She turned around and expressed her accomplishments quite proudly: "That's right.
The tether won’t be blown away by the wind here, and it’s easy to find.”
But Xie Ning and Qing He looked at her with expressions that they couldn't bear to witness.
Qing He shook his head and pointed at her feet.
Qingmei followed her finger and looked at her feet.
Just now, she stepped on the soil under the peach tree, and the wet mud that had just thawed covered her feet.
The newly made shoes were embroidered with two small yellow wintersweet flowers.
His true colors can no longer be seen at all.
After the flower viewing party, Xie Ning had guests.
Because she did not go to the meeting due to physical discomfort, after the flower viewing party was over, Shi Shunyi, Gao Jieyu, Li Zhaorong, and Liang Meiren came to visit with Zhou Baolin, Liu Cairen, Zhao Cairen, and Sun Cainu.
So many guests came at once, but Qinghe and the others were very organized, serving refreshments one by one in an orderly manner, and the seats were arranged just right.
This is not Xie Ning's credit.
She has never entertained so many guests at once, and she has no experience to pass on to the maids around her.
As for who is the hero behind the scenes, do you even need to ask?
Fang Shang Palace is really amazing.
Shi Shunyi was the oldest among those who came, but Gao Jieyu was always the one who was the most active and stole the spotlight.
Today she wore a sky blue palace dress with a thick fox fur cloak tied around it.
It was too hot after entering the palace, so she took off the cloak.
The palace dress with a heart-shaped collar exposed a section of her snow-white neck.
Gao Jieyu has smooth skin and a plump body.
Her lips are painted with bright red lipstick.
She speaks in a clear and loud voice, but sometimes her words may be off-stage because of her unpleasant words.
"I thought I could see Beauty Xie today, but I heard that you were not feeling well and didn't come.
It's not fun to enjoy the flowers today."
Xie Ning smiled and said: "Try this tea.
I originally wanted to go, but I didn't sleep well last night and I felt uncomfortable when I got up early.
I was afraid that going would disappoint everyone, so I didn't go.
The flowers in the Royal Garden must be blooming.
Not bad” Shi Shunyi asked softly: "This tea tastes good, quite fragrant."
"It's last year's autumn tea.
If Shi Shunyi drinks it well, pack some and take it back to drink slowly when you leave."
Shi Shunyi also smiled: "Then I won't be polite."
Gao Jieyu also tasted the tea, shook her head and said: "I don't like this, I still think spring tea is good.
Maybe this winter is too cold and the spring is early, so the flowers are not blooming very well, and only a few peach blossoms have bloomed. , but the magnolia blossoms are blooming, and the fragrance is fragrant.
But today is not in vain, there are really two famous flowers. " Xie Ning asked: "What famous flower?"
Gao Jieyu said: "Empress Shu Fei's sister and niece, although they are of different generations, they are really a pair of sisters.
The older one is quiet and the younger one is lively.
They are no less beautiful than Empress Shu Fei when she was young.
They are really I feel sorry for them.
No wonder Concubine Shu wants to keep them in the palace to accompany Princess Yuyao."
Why does this sound so strange?
Not only Xie Ning heard the hint in Gao Jieyu's words, but Li Zhaorong and Liang Meiren also heard it.
Princess Yuyao is still young and not yet old enough to need a playmate.
Even if the princess grows up and needs an attendant or a female companion, she will have to choose a girl of her own age.
Concubine Shu kept her mother's family in the palace in the name of accompanying the princess.

She must have been trying to sell things like sheep and dogs, and she had other ideas.
This kind of thing is actually not new.
This may be the Lin family's idea, or it may be Concubine Shu's own plan to keep her favor or to have children.
This has always been the case in the palace.
But two came at once, and I heard they have completely different temperaments.
Is this because they are afraid that sending one of them to the palace alone is not safe, and they are trying to capture the emperor's heart in one visit?
Speaking of which, Concubine Shu has served the emperor for many years, but she only gave birth to Princess Yuyao.
I heard that the birth of the princess was not smooth.
The Lin family must be very anxious, fearing that Concubine Shu will not have the chance to get pregnant and give birth to a prince again.
I couldn't wait to send the new couple into the palace, hoping that they would be favored.
Xie Ning was not familiar with Concubine Shu, but she thought that although Concubine Shu was actively working for them, what was she thinking in her heart was definitely not to be happy and happy to see the success, not to mention whether she had feelings for the emperor or not, she was just talking about the matter.
To say that she promoted the younger members of her family to compete for favor was tantamount to admitting that she had been defeated by their youth, beauty and health.
Xie Ning remembered a very cruel sentence.
The beauties will be cut off before they grow old.
The milk I ordered online arrived.
The delivery was fast and the packaging was in good condition.
The only drawback is that the warranty period is more than 40 days, so I have to drink it quickly or it will expire
