The long, half-closed window reflected the mottled shadows of the trees, and the light from the candles reflected on the faces of the two people.
Xie Ning was surprised but not surprised when he heard what the emperor said.
She didn't expect that Shi Shunyi, who looked like a mud-wood Bodhisattva who was indifferent to the world, would do this.
But Shi Shunyi had long wanted a child, and she wanted Princess Yuyao.
When Concubine Shu was gone, the people in the palace were fighting for Princess Yuyao like hungry wolves fighting for meat.
Even now, those people have not given up.
Before the emperor handed over the two children to Yong'an Palace, Shi Shunyi even tried to hide her face and asked Xie Ning to intercede that she wanted to raise Princess Yuyao.
Later, when the two children arrived at Yong'an Palace, Shi Shunyi never mentioned the matter again.
It turns out that she didn't forget, let alone give up, but was waiting here.
At this moment, Xie Ning suddenly felt horrified and secretly frightened.
Shi Shunyi has always been so timid and cowardly.
She was scorned by Gao Jieyu, Chen Jieyu and others.
She was even polite to Li Zhaorong and others whose status was far below her.
It was as if she lived on tenterhooks all day, for fear of offending.
Even the Needlework Bureau and the Inner Palace Supervisor dared to neglect her, but she had never said a word and suffered in silence.
But such a doughty and good-natured person would actually inform the emperor about Princess Mingshou's plot, and then ask for her kindness.
How could the emperor refuse her at this time?
Xie Ning is not good at fighting with others, but that doesn't mean she is really that naive and won't think about it.
Although Xie Ning couldn't think clearly for a while, she took care of her three children equally these days, and she couldn't give up any of them to Shi Shunyi.
"Speaking of which, the princess also came to look for me yesterday.
I discussed something with me and wanted to ask me to ask for a favor from the emperor."
The emperor was slightly surprised and asked: "What's the matter?"
"The princess said that Shuying is already old and should have gone to school a long time ago.
But there are too many official scholars outside and the teaching is not very detailed.
She wants to send Shuying to study in the palace."
There is a study room in the southeast garden of Miyagi City, where the children of the royal family study.
Compared with the hundreds of people in the official school, the number of people here is very limited.
Sometimes there are even more teachers than students, plus During the monthly exams and the annual exams, the people who gave lectures were all celebrities and scholars, and there were also academic masters like Jiyingge Bachelor.
The level there was by no means comparable to that of the official schools.
More importantly, being able to study in Nanyuan Study Room is a symbol.
It means that Qiao Shuying has entered the circle of the top rich and powerful children and can get to know many people.
These will be his connections when he grows up.
Help.
Princess Mingwei also worked hard for her son's future.
The emperor said: "Since it is Mingwei's intention, let her come over from next month.
This is not a big deal, and you two don't have to be so frightened."
"We also talked about the eldest prince by the way."
Xie Ning said: "Although Ying Yi is not in good health, he still has an unyielding spirit in his heart.
When he and Shuying were together, Shuying read better than him.
He had many books, and after he came back, he wanted to study secretly by himself, and asked Master Wang for advice if Ying Yi should study in the palace.
Since he was admitted to school together, he was physically weaker than others, otherwise he would have tried studying for an hour in the day.
There were no companions of similar age to him in Yong'an Palace.
He was not very old, but he seemed too mature to spend more time with his peers.
"It might be better to wait.
Shuying and he are on good terms, and they can keep each other company when they go into the study together."

The emperor thought for a while: "It would be better to let him give it a try when Zhongqiu is over.
It is still hot right now."
He asked back: "What do you think about what I just said?"
Xie Ning smiled and countered General Yijun: "The emperor has already made up his mind, why do you still ask me what I mean?"
"What conclusion do I have?"
Xie Ning pursed her lips and smiled, looking at him quietly for a moment before saying, "If the emperor agrees, he will agree to Shi Shunyi's request at that time."
The emperor looked at her with a sly smile and couldn't say a word for a while.
The evening breeze blows in through the window, blowing on your face with the fragrance of flowers in the courtyard, sweet and intoxicating.
His heart was like being immersed in freshly warmed sweet-scented osmanthus wine, so soft that it seemed like it would turn into water waves.
"Your Majesty, you are not willing to part with me," Xie Ning's fingers gently brushed over the auspicious cloud pattern on his lapel, and he said softly: "I am not willing to part with you, either.
No matter whether it is Ying Gen or Yu Yao, I will leave you soon."
Even though Shi Shunyi is taking care of her, she can still see her in this palace, but that is different. " The emperor held her in his arms like a handful of silver light spilling in from the window.
Her softness and tenderness made his whole heart feel at ease.
"That's right, I didn't agree to her."
There was no immediate refusal.
Xie Ning also understood the emperor's character.
Shi Shunyi made her request straight to the point.
If the emperor thought it was appropriate, he would give her an answer immediately.
But the emperor did not agree.
He just told her that the reward would still be considered.
"You're right.
I really didn't want to agree to her.
Although what she said makes sense.
The woman in the palace is so lonely, but she wants a child to relieve her loneliness.
The child is not a plaything.
She can move it around as she pleases.
Just give it.
Ying Yi and Yu Yao live in Yong'an Palace.
I see them getting better day by day, and I feel doubly happy and relieved.
How can I give them to others as a reward?"
Xie Ning agreed ten thousand times.
If it were another occasion, she would have high-fived the emperor and sighed.
That's right, Shi Shunyi said that she was lonely, and she was willing to ask for a child to be her companion, so that she would have someone to rely on for the rest of her life.
But she had not thought about the children's own likes, dislikes and wishes.
The eldest prince had already said that he was unwilling to leave Yong'an Palace.
Princess Yuyao's withdrawn symptoms had just improved.
If they were taken away under such circumstances, would they be able to bear it?
Xie Ning felt sorry for her children, and she didn't want to give up any of them.
Moreover, although Shi Shunyi is asking for a child, given the importance the emperor places on children, he will definitely visit him often in the future.
Isn't Shi Shunyi really taking the opportunity to invite favors?
It's not that Xie Ning wants to think the worst of people, but the things happening around her force her to think too much.
If the emperor didn't agree to her request, he would naturally have to compensate her in other ways, and the compensation would certainly not be simple.
"Now that Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, although this year's festival is not suitable for large-scale celebrations, we still have to have the rewards we deserve."
The emperor said softly: "The four concubines are all empty now, and it is time to fill them up.
Otherwise, not only the Yushitai will not let people rest." , even Zongzheng Temple has to go on and on.

Think about what kind of title you want."
Xie Ning was startled for a moment: "I don't know much about this concubine.
I can still ask for a title by myself."
"Others can't, but as for you, it doesn't hurt to make an exception."
Xie Ning thought for a while, but still had no clue: "I can't think of it.
In short, it's not beautiful, gorgeous, soft or anything like that."
I heard that the late emperor once gave a concubine the title Rao.
It doesn't matter how much you praise it in private.
It's always disrespectful to use this word as a title.
The emperor smiled: "What's wrong with the word Li?
Do you think you can't do it?"
Xie Ning touched his face: "I am already old now."
The emperor could hardly hold back his laughter, but she solemnly said that she was old and she was not yet twenty years old.
"Then I am older, aren't I?"
Xie Ning opened his eyes wide and said quite innocently: "Your Majesty, are you kidding me?
How old are you?
Are you shouting Long Live Long Live in vain?
You are here now and you are not even a fraction of ten thousand years old."
This time the emperor really couldn't hold it in and hugged her and laughed.
Xie Ning waited for him to stop and calm down, and then said: "If you really want to say it, I think it is too early to be granted the title of concubine.
I have only been in the palace for a short time, and I only have a short time before I can be promoted to the imperial concubine.
Once, I am afraid that others will criticize her.
Shi Shunyi is the longest-serving person in the palace, and it is natural for her to become a concubine.
Plus, she also has merit this time. " Others like Gao Jieyu, Han Chongrong, etc. are not as good as her.
People at the same time as her, the empress died early, and the concubine Shu and the concubine Xian also disappeared this year.
She was the only one who was still here.
Even if she didn't have the credit for informing this time, she deserved to be given the title of concubine.
When Xie Ning thought about the whistleblower, he felt that it was a bit weird.
How did Shi Shunyi, who was so close to home, know so much about Princess Mingshou's plans and identify her confidants?
Even though Xie Shunyi was the former empress's personal maid, the empress was the empress, and Princess Mingshou was out of the picture.
After many years of marriage, she had not been seen getting affectionate with Shi Shunyi.
Shi Shunyi never left the house all day long.
Where did she get the information?
If she got it from Princess Mingshou, why should she win the trust of Princess Mingshou?
Xie Ning deeply felt that Shi Shunyi was not as meek and cowardly as she seemed on the surface, otherwise she would not be able to do such a thing.
"You just say she has merit, why don't you talk about yourself?"
Xie Ning was stunned: "How can I, my concubine, have any merit?"
The emperor said softly: "You gave birth to a son for me, doesn't this count as merit?"
Xie Ning's face was slightly hot: "But the emperor has already promoted my concubine to Jieyu, how can there be any reason to reward the same thing again and again?"
"You take care of Ying Fen and Yu Yao for me.
I know how hard you have worked these days.
It's not just you this time, there are others.
Things have happened one after another in the palace, and we really need some good news to deal with it."
There is another one.
The emperor did not say the underlying reason.

If Shi Shunyi is promoted to the concubine, then Xie Ning will have to bow before her in the future.
The emperor did not want to see Xie Ning curtsying in front of other women in the harem, no matter who that person was.
Xie Ning slowly came back to his senses after washing and lying down to think about the incident.
The emperor obviously had no intention of agreeing to Shi Shunyi's request from the beginning, so why did he have to discuss it with her seriously?
Xie Ning turned his head slightly and looked at the person beside the pillow.
Could it be that the emperor was worried that she actually didn't want to keep Ying Yi and Yu Yao, so he took the opportunity to make her express her position:
