Fang Shanggong taught Qinghe and Qingmei under the lamp how to organize the account books.
In the past, Xie Meiren had almost no personal savings.
When she was not favored, her monthly salary would usually be deducted by 30%, and she had to spend money everywhere in the palace, so she couldn't save anything at all.
There was no need to keep accounts at that time.
When the season changed, even the empty clothes in the cupboard had to be counted and worn.
If you were not careful, you would not have to replace them.
But things have changed since the beginning of Xie Meiren's favor.
There are always generous gifts and extra filial piety.
The needlework bureau comes here every once in a while, not to mention the emperor's rewards from time to time, and other people's efforts to make friends.
Nice and various gifts sent.
Her cabinets and cupboards were all full, and there was no room for them in the house.
Before moving to the palace, all these things had to be stuffed into empty rooms that were not occupied.
After arriving at Yong'an Palace, the place suddenly became spacious, but there were more and more things.
It is difficult for Qing He and Fang Shanggong to sort this out, even if Hu Rong and Qing Mei are included in the matter.
Fang Shanggong selected two literate and bookkeeping maids from other palace ladies to help together.
After working hard for several days, he finally figured out a clue.
Qingmei raised her head and let out a long breath: "How much is this worth?"
The last item on this list is a gift for the second prince, a suet-fat white jade carving of a wishful longevity lock.
This thing is of course not for babies to wear because it is heavy.
Qingmei took a look at it when it was delivered.
The longevity lock was beautifully carved, and the hollow patterns and rings on it were so smooth and delicate.
Qingmei didn't dare to touch the thing in the box, for fear that it would be crushed if she got a little stronger.
This kind of thing is not practical at all, Qingmei secretly muttered in her stomach.
You can't eat it, you can't wear it, and you can't stand it even if it looks good.
Of course she would never say these words again.
If it were a year ago, she might just say what was on her mind.
But now Qingmei has at least learned to keep her words to herself.
Of course, there are many longevity locks that can be worn, such as gold, silver, gem-encrusted, and pearl-encrusted, but none of these will be hung around the second prince's neck.
The second prince could not wear anything now, only a longevity lock wrapped in velvet was tightly tucked under his swaddling clothes.
Compared with these various longevity locks with various designs, the longevity lock was too small and plain.
Although it had been renovated, the dullness in small places such as the tassels and buckles could no longer be completely eliminated.
The longevity lock was given by the emperor.
I heard that the emperor wore it for several years when he was a child.
This was not ordinary.
Qing He's heart was beating fast as he guessed the meaning behind the longevity lock that the emperor took out.
Although this longevity lock is very inconspicuous, it is more valuable than everything on this list put together.
But Qinghe also had a little doubt in his heart.
Why did the emperor wear such a longevity lock when he was a child?
The color is not pure gold.
It is too shabby and does not match the emperor's status.
Xie Ning could not leave the house, but she could walk around the house.
The windows could be opened when there was no wind in the afternoon.
After being locked up for several days, Xie Ning looked at the spring scenery outside the window and felt as if she had lived in another world.
Her life seemed to have entered a new path, and everything she was accustomed to in the past seemed different now.
It's like a veil has been lifted, revealing what it should be.

The grass blades are so green and full of vitality.
Begonia flowers are so delicate and soft, Kazuki's flowers seem to glow in Spring City, so dazzling that people can't look directly at them.
The wind chimes hanging on the eaves outside the window were strung by Xie Ning himself when they were in Yingxiang Pavilion, and he brought them with him when they moved to the palace.
Xie Ning's fingertips lightly touched the baby's soft cheek.
It was rare that he did not fall asleep immediately after eating, but looked at her with his big, round eyes.
"It's spring now.
Look, there's a butterfly there."
Such a young child would definitely not understand what she was saying, but this did not prevent Xie Ning from enjoying herself at all, and the baby's focused eyes and expression seemed to be listening attentively.
The mother and son lived a happy and comfortable life.
Mrs.
Lin folded the diapers and put them together for easy access when using them: "It's a good time for you two to catch up.
The weather is neither hot nor cold, and adults and children will not suffer.
If you catch up with three In the dog days or the twelfth lunar month of winter, there are a lot of troubles.”
Xie Ning looked back at her aunt with a smile.
She was not tired of listening to her aunt's nagging now, and she was still full of joy.
This is really strange.
The emperor comes here every day now, and he will stay with the mother and son for a long time, listening to her talk about trivial matters such as how many times the child nursed and how many times he woke up today, and he never tires of it, just like a father for the first time.
He has indeed never been so close to a child before, and this is the first time he has been so close.
He also tried to hug the child, but he didn't dare to exert any force.
He hugged the child and quickly handed it back to Xie Ning.
The spring scenery outside the window was like the sea, and Xie Ning handed the sleeping child to Mrs.
Lin.
"It's so hot today that it feels like summer is about to begin."
Mrs.
Lin looked out the window: "It's probably going to rain."
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
It was getting cloudy in the evening, and before dinner, the rain began to fall.
"It's going to rain this time."
If the rain is so heavy, the Emperor will most likely not come over.
The windows were closed tightly, for fear that rain or night wind would blow into the house.
The second prince woke up again and fed once more.
After changing his diaper, he lay there with his eyes open.
He doesn't like being swaddled, but he is swaddled most of the day and can only briskly for a few moments.
His chubby hands and feet were kicking and moving, and he was making inarticulate sounds.
Although no one understood what he meant, Xie Ning guessed that he was very happy.
The light of the candle flickered in his beautiful big eyes, and he waved his hands, stretching out and clasping his fingers.
Xie Ning handed him the finger and he grabbed it immediately.
The little hand is quite strong, at least Xie Ning can't pull out his fingers without any effort.
Xie Ning laughed out loud.
Someone outside quickly ran to the eaves and reported through the curtain: "Master, the emperor is here."
Come here when it rains so heavily Xie Ning had to take her fingers out now.
She straightened her clothes and went to the door to greet him.
The curtain was opened and the emperor stepped in.
He came by chariot, and the walk from the palace gate to here was not long.
There were people holding umbrellas, but his robes got wet from the rain.

"Stand further away, I feel cold."
Qing He had already brought the clothes, and Bai Hongqi went behind the screen to wait for the emperor to change into dry clothes.
Qinghe took a thick cloth and wiped his hair wet with rain.
The emperor's hair was loose and he looked much younger than usual.
Xie Ning wiped it while looking at him from the side.
A few days ago, someone said that the second prince's features resembled those of the emperor.
Xie Ning could now see that the father and son's features were indeed very similar.
What was the emperor like when he was a child?
As soon as he thought of this, Xie Ning's thoughts flew in one direction and could not be pulled back.
Was the Emperor so fat and chubby when he was a child?
Would he look at people with such big eyes?
Would he burst into tears when he woke up hungry?
Before her, in her heart, the emperor was the emperor.
She had never thought that the emperor had a child.
It seemed that she thought that a person like the emperor would not have a child.
He was such a majestic, heroic and aloof emperor from birth.
Of course this is not true.
The emperor was once a baby, just like everyone else, and then he grew up.
Xie Ning smiled and wiped the emperor's hair dry and soft, then took a comb to smooth it.
The emperor took her hand and asked her to sit down beside him.
"It's raining so heavily.
Your Majesty came here from Changning Palace."
When the emperor came in just now, his expression was different from usual, but after changing his clothes and coming out, he became much calmer.
After wiping and combing my hair for so long, I already looked calm.
"Well, I went to Yanning Palace."
Xie Ning still didn't know what happened in the past few days.
She thought the emperor went to see Princess Yuyao.
The emperor attaches great importance to several children, including the frail and sick eldest prince, and he always has to visit them every once in a while to feel reassured.
"Has your Majesty had dinner?"
"After using the bowl, I feel hungry again now."
Xie Ning quickly sent a message to the dining room to prepare more food.
When the dining table was set, Xie Ning couldn't help smelling the aroma.
He smiled and sat down very close to the emperor and took some from the plate.
Before a piece of shrimp pastry was put to his mouth, the emperor asked: "Is this something cold and can you eat it now?"
Xie Ning put down the shrimp puff pastry nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter if I just take two bites."
She was really greedy these days.
She couldn't eat this or that.
Mrs.
Lin and Fang Shanggong were keeping a close eye on her, and she couldn't even try to sneak a bite.
"Be patient for a while."
The emperor advised her: "It will be fine in half a month.
Then just let the kitchen cook whatever you want to eat."
As he said this, he winked and asked someone to remove the shrimp cake. , so as not to make it worse if it is left there and cannot be eaten, and it is removed out of sight and out of mind.
Bai Hongqi pursed his lips happily and personally stepped forward to bring down the shrimp pastry.
This shrimp pastry is really well made, yellow and fragrant, and the sesame seeds on top are roasted to a golden color.

Bai Hongqi himself was not greedy for food, but after he brought it out, he saw that the first few little eunuchs in the corridor looked pitiful.
Most of their clothes were wet from running around running errands and spreading messages, and they all stood in the corridor with their heads bowed and their waists hunched.
Bai Hongqi handed the plate to them smoothly: "I'll reward you, this is a good thing for the master.
Don't eat it now, pretending to eat it later when you are not on errands."
Several young eunuchs quickly thanked Bai Hongqi and took the snacks.
Hu Rong came over and said with a smile: "Grandpa Bai, Master, there are people waiting here.
Your boots are already wet.
Go sit in the west room first, and I will help you dry these shoes.
Your feet will not be cold when you wear them again." ah."
Bai Hongqi was happy: "You are getting better and better at talking."
"Isn't it thanks to Grandpa Bai who always reminds me of it?"
Got stuck today.
Will add more updates tomorrow.
I counted it several times and still can’t figure out whether I owe the third update or the fourth update:
