Qingmei looked around in front of the gate of Yong'an Palace.
When she saw Hu Rong leading people through Changde Gate, she turned around and ran back.
"Coming, coming."
Fang Shanggong glanced at her: "Be more steady, what does it look like?"
Qingmei quickly stopped and replied according to the rules: "Mrs.
Lin is here."
Xie Ning had no time to take care of Qingmei.
She saw her aunt at a glance among the crowd.
The eldest aunt held back tears and insisted on finishing the ceremony before being helped by Qing He to sit down.
Qingmei was very curious.
She heard Mrs.
Lin mention it more than once, and now she finally met her in person.
Mrs.
Lin is a little older than the Aunt Xie she saw last time.
She is wearing a dark blue dress with longevity patterns and embroidered grass.
She looks a bit old-fashioned.
There are already sporadic gray spots on her temples.
She is lightly smeared with makeup and looks elegant.
In comparison, Mrs.
Xie Liu whom I saw last time looked like a matchmaker with heavy makeup.
Even though her clothes were gorgeous, they looked so awkward on her.
They didn't look like her own clothes at all.
They all looked like she was wearing someone else's clothes.
Things are the same.
"You have grown up."
The eldest aunt hurriedly wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
Yesterday, the palace supervisor went to the two of them to tell her some things about entering the palace, and also practiced how to salute and greet her twice.
One of the most important points is that it is taboo to shed tears in the palace: "How have you been these past few years?"
"I'm fine, everything is fine."
Xie Ning took a deep breath, there were still tears in his eyes, but he was no longer as incoherent as yesterday: "I used to live in the back garden, a very quiet place, and the people in the dining room My cooking skills are very good, and I can also make noodles and hot cakes from our hometown.
During the Chinese New Year, I moved to Yong'an Palace, where the place is spacious and I have a small garden."
Mrs.
Lin looked at her carefully.
The outline is still vaguely the same as before, and the eyebrows and face have not changed, but they are different from the past.
She has grown up and her appearance has changed a lot, but Mrs.
Lin can recognize her at a glance.
This is the child she has seen growing up.
My sister-in-law has a soft temper, and her family found her a husband out of thousands of people.
The couple is loving.
But who would have thought that her fate was so bad.
The child lost his father just after birth.
Her husband's family was too vicious to tolerate them.
Mother and daughter returned to the Lin family in embarrassment.
Mrs.
Lin remembered that it was a rainy day, and her sister-in-law was holding an umbrella and holding her child.

The wind was too strong and the umbrella could not block the rain.
Both of them were soaked.
Adults like to keep themselves warm by the fire, but children don't dare to go near the fire.
Mrs.
Lin took off the child's clothes and put her in her arms to warm her.
Thinking about it now as if it happened yesterday.
Mrs.
Lin's eyes fell on her bulging belly.
"I'm giving birth in April."
Xie Ning whispered.
"Your Majesty, how are you treating me?"
Mrs.
Lin's nose felt sore.
"The Emperor treats me very well."
How can I be praised?
There are so many women in the palace who have to compete with so many people for favor.
When they are not favored, they will inevitably be bullied by others.
When they are favored, they will have to deal with countless open and secret attacks.
The Xie family are simply not human beings, and no one with any human heart would be able to do such a thing.
"How are you at home, uncle?
How are your brothers and sisters-in-law?
How is your sister?"
"Everything is fine, everything is fine."
Mrs.
Lin said calmly: "Your uncle was not used to the weather there when he arrived in the north.
The first winter he caught a cold and always coughed, so I found a folk remedy for him to eat reed root.
He didn't like the soup, but he finally got better.
Your brother has a daughter, and your sister has given birth to a son. " "I sent people back to my hometown several times, but the Xie family only said that you were still taking care of the old lady's illness, but you couldn't see anyone.
They didn't admit that you were no longer in the Xie family until I went back to my hometown to find you."
Mrs.
Lin was very angry at that time.
They were speechless.
Looking at the hypocritical and shameless face of the old lady of the Xie family, I almost lost control of myself and attacked her.
At that moment, Mrs.
Lin regretted so much that she should not have believed the lies of the Xie family and left Xie Ning alone at the Xie family.
At that time, even if she had a bad relationship with the Xie family, she should have been taken away with her.
No matter what, she would find a good family to entrust her with for the rest of her life.
But it's too late to say this now.
"When did you come to Beijing?
Where are you staying now?
Did you come to Beijing by yourself?
Did you bring anyone with you to serve you on the way?"
Xie Ning asked questions one after another.
She wanted to know everything.
Mrs.

Lin also had countless questions she wanted to ask her, but she was too worried to ask any of them.
Fang Shanggong was on the side to smooth things over and spoke for Xie Ning: "Since she knew Mrs.
Lin was coming, Beauty Xie has been restless and she didn't sleep well for half the night."
Mrs.
Lin knew that this guest had an extraordinary status, so she said politely: "I must have troubled you a lot."
Fang Shanggong drank a cup of tea with him and then went out, leaving Mrs.
Lin and Xie Ning in the room very considerately.
As soon as she left the house, she heard crying coming from inside the house.
She also felt uncomfortable crying.
Others think that this palace contains the world's first-class glory and wealth, but not everyone pursues this kind of thing in this world.
Women who enter the palace have to endure the torture of being separated from their relatives for life, and will never have the opportunity to return to their hometown again in this life.
Mrs.
Lin persuaded Xie Ning to stop crying and wiped her face with a handkerchief: "Don't cry so willfully.
You are not a little girl now.
You are a mother and you have to think more about your child.
You The child will feel uncomfortable if he cries like this.
It’s a happy event that we can meet each other today, so we should be happy.”
Xie Ning blew his nose and whispered: "I was very scared when I first entered the palace.
When I lived in Yeting Palace, I would occasionally hear people crying at night and weird laughter like a lunatic.
Some people said that it was the former emperor's palace.
The woman was imprisoned in the courtyard behind Yeting Palace to die.
I had nightmares for several nights, dreaming that I was also imprisoned there.
The walls were so high that not even the sun could shine in. , it’s dark everywhere” She had never said these words to anyone else.
After a long time, she thought she was about to forget things, but somehow she remembered them again today and said them out like this.
"There were three people living in Yingxiang Pavilion at the beginning.
One suddenly fell ill and died, and the other moved away.
I didn't even dare to go to the back yard."
Mrs.
Lin held Xie Ning in her arms distressedly.
Listening to these things makes people feel heart-wrenching.
At that time, Xie Ning had no one close to him to talk to.
No matter how scared he was, he could only hold on by himself.
"Later I gradually got used to it, and I still missed home, but I didn't want to hide in bed at night and cry.
I also wanted to send a message home, but there was no reliable person to take care of me, and the road was too far."
Xie Ning whispered: "Later on, I served the emperor.
The emperor treated me very well, really very well."
Xie Ning repeated it twice.
Mrs.
Lin's heart sank slightly as she realized that she was single-handedly taking care of her eldest child.
This silly girl seems to really like the emperor.
If she married an ordinary family and the couple were in love, it would be too late for Mrs.
Lin to be happy.
But now she is a concubine in the harem.
The emperor has so many concubines.
Her family background is not prominent, and she is not particularly beautiful.

Now the emperor treats her well, but he also treats others well.
What will she do when the emperor slowly forgets her in the future?
She was still pregnant with the child, and Mrs.
Lin looked at her belly and felt sad and happy.
No matter if she has a child, she will always be someone to rely on.
Even if you are lonely in the palace in the future, you will still have a child to take care of.
However, there are few children in the palace now.
Mrs.
Lin is not sure whether the child can be kept and whether he can grow up safely.
Hu Rong went to the dining room.
Today's Mrs.
Lin is different from Mrs.
Xie Liu last time.
She definitely wants to leave food.
The person in the kitchen patted her chest and promised that the meal would be served well.
She also asked Hu Rong where this lady was from.
Sir, do you have any favorite taste?
Hu Rong didn't ask about this, but he thought differently from the people in the dining room: "We can't make people's hometown dishes so authentic.
I see that distinguished guests have come from afar.
Let her try some of our Beijing-style dishes."
Even better.
When you go to the Hakka, others ask you what you saw and ate in the capital.
Could it be that they said that they only ate two local dishes after entering the palace?"
Then what else is there to boast about when entering the palace?
The person in the dining room suddenly looked enlightened and slapped himself on the head, saying that he had a pig's brain and that he didn't understand what was going on, thanks to Eunuch Hu's guidance.
Hu Rong would not take such a compliment seriously.
He smiled and said a few polite words and handed over another purse.
The man opposite hurriedly refused: "How can Eunuch Hu spend money?
Eunuch Bai has ordered me to thank the beauty for her status.
As long as I have it in the treasury, I must do my best to offer it."
"This is the master's order.
You have worked hard these days.
These are the master's wishes.
I invite Eunuch Song and several other brothers to have tea."
Since he said this, Eunuch Song also accepted the purse.
After seeing Hu Rong off, he turned around and called everyone together to start assigning tasks.
The capital is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world, and its heritage in terms of food and clothing is unparalleled elsewhere.
Since we were entertaining Xie Meiren's relatives and elders today, we naturally had to work hard and show our true skills.
There are many people in the dining room, and several big stewards have their own specialties.
These specialty dishes are not necessarily rare delicacies from mountains and seas.
On the contrary, what they specialize in are things that can be eaten on a daily basis.
For example, Eunuch Song himself, one of his specialty dishes is braised tofu with cabbage.
There is an old eunuch in the dining room who is not very good at doing side jobs, but he has a unique skill in steaming egg custard.
The steamed custard is so soft, tender and delicious that no one else can learn it even if they want to steal it.

Lin accompanied Xie Ning to have lunch together.
The table was set and before she could even use her chopsticks, Bai Hongqi came to Yong'an Palace according to the order.
The emperor presented him with four dishes.
Bai Hongqi also smiled and told Meiren to thank her for her physical inconvenience.
The emperor said there was no need to thank her.
If appreciating vegetables wasn't nothing, Bai Hongqi made another trip after lunch and brought another reward from the emperor.
This one was for Mrs.
Lin.
