Fortunately, catching the week is a matter of the coming year, and the immediate thing now is the New Year's banquet.
The needlework bureau sent over new clothes made for the New Year, eight sets in total.
Before Xie Ning entered the palace, he had also heard about the ostentation of wealthy families.
It was said that the clothes and jewelry of truly wealthy ladies had to be taken care of by someone special, and sometimes it was not possible for one person to take care of them.
At that time, she was still thinking, how could a person need so many clothes and jewelry and have so many heads and bodies?
Now Xie Ning doesn't know how many clothes and jewelry he owns.
Qing He is in charge of this.
If Xie Ning wanted to know the exact details, he would either call Qing He over and ask him carefully, or he could look through the book to find out.
There are many pieces of clothing that have been worn once and never worn again, and some have simply been put on the bottom of the box without being worn even once.
She has not yet worn out the clothes she made for winter, but these newly made clothes for the holidays have already arrived.
Fang Shanggong had been in the needlework bureau for many years and knew everything about it.
As a rule, the concubine had four sets of clothes for the festival, and the needlework bureau doubled the number, saying it was as usual.
There was no imperial concubine during the reign of the late emperor.
It would be too long to count back to that year.
Who knows which year the Needlework Bureau revised the old rules?
Of course, these things are nothing more than adapting to the prevailing situation.
The difference between the old routine and the old routine is not just a matter of words.
If it is a concubine who is not favored, I am afraid that she can barely make up four sets according to the number, just to cope with the errands.
The gold thread, silk satin, pearls, and precious stones used were all cut corners.
But the imperial concubine is favored now, so of course the needlework bureau must try its best to curry favor with her.
Even if you can't please the imperial concubine, you can never offend her and let her complain to the emperor.
With her great favor, a pillow blowing would be more effective than a hundred slanderous words from others.
If the situation doesn't work, the Bureau will have to find someone else to take charge of the matter.
What's more, the imperial concubine can see the emperor almost every day, and the emperor may be able to remember their merits when he sees her.
"Master, things are different now.
In previous years, there weren't many people to see and nothing happened during the New Year.
But now, I'm afraid there are guests every day during the New Year.
Like the female family members of the clan, who have been honored and appointed, from the New Year's Day to the Lantern Festival, only the guests are welcome.
I don’t have a day to spare.
Sometimes I have to change my clothes two or three times a day.”
Xie Ning knew the truth what she said.
Just thinking about the tedious process of changing clothes several times a day during the Chinese New Year makes Xie Ning feel a headache.
"As for the entertainment, Master doesn't have to worry about it.
The Emperor will definitely make arrangements by then.
Besides, you are a noble concubine, and they are the only ones who fawn over you.
All you have to do is give them a compliment and give them a smile.
If you are happy, give them a smile.
Just say a few words, and if you don’t like it, you can ignore it.”
Xie Ning felt quite awkward when he said this.
Xie Ning didn't get used to it for a while.
Besides, she probably would never accept compliments and flattery from others without being indifferent.
This is her natural tendency.
The emperor had indeed made arrangements, and specially assigned two elderly ministers to come over to Xie Ning to help.
They are the inner palace supervisors, but now they are under Xie Ning's temporary supervision.
Xie Ning was worried at first that they were senior and would not be convinced by a young master like Xie Ning.

When he first entered the palace, Xie Ning was still impressed by the old monks from Yeting.
They always speak in a weird and mean way, and when they squint at people, the light in their eyes always looks gloomy.
They are responsible for training the new maids and beauties who have entered the palace.
Of course, they are much more polite to the beauties than to the maids.
Judging from Xie Ning's own experience, this politeness is really not very pleasant.
But the two old monks who came back were very respectful, smiling and humble.
Whenever Xie Ning had any inquiries or instructions, they would tell them everything they knew, for fear of not being attentive and attentive.
Xie Ning thought that this was also a change brought about by identity.
People who have stayed in the palace for a long time have several sets of faces.
This is probably not the worst side of them that I have ever seen.
But now they have undoubtedly brought out the best.
Xie Ning mentioned this matter when talking to the emperor in the evening and said with a smile: "I always feel guilty.
Isn't this a false pretense?"
Those who are not necessarily really afraid of the imperial concubine are actually afraid of the emperor.
The emperor smiled and said: "Do you have the cunning of a fox?
I didn't see it.
Come on, I can feel where your little tail is."
When he really reached out to touch it, Xie Ning dodged sideways and laughed for a while.
In the end, the emperor caught him and kissed her hard several times.
"When you entered the palace, the palace lord made you feel sorry for you.
Why don't you find him and vent your anger on him?"
Xie Ning smiled and shook his head: "No need."
"Why don't you use it?"
The emperor asked her with a smile: "They must have treated you badly at that time, so you don't want to be so evil?"
"No need."
Xie Ning never thought about this at all.
In fact, if she wanted to be angry, she didn't have to wait until now.
It can be done as early as after pregnancy.
But Xie Ning has never grudged those people for this matter.
Speaking of which, apart from being mean, those people had never done anything out of the ordinary.
She didn't think there was anything to hold grudges about.
Her mood has always been calm and magnanimous, and she does not need to torment and suppress others to make herself happy, so that she feels that she has lived up to her current status and status.
Besides, what does the emperor mean by asking her like this?
According to the emperor's words, in the years before he ascended the throne, he was afraid that many people had offended him, and he did not see the emperor settling accounts one by one after he ascended the throne.
It was precisely because the emperor knew that she would not do that.
It was not like that.
This sentence was just a joke.
"Go to bed early, we have to work hard all day tomorrow."
"It's not just one day."
Xie Ning covered his mouth and yawned: "The dinner is more important.
I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep until midnight.
There are so many things on New Year's Day.
Why do I feel more tired than usual during this festival?"
The emperor comforted her without much sincerity: "This is the first year, and I will gradually get used to it in the future."
"Then when the emperor ascended the throne in the first year, did he ever shrink back from difficulties when encountering difficulties?"

Just now she said she wanted to go to bed early, but in a blink of an eye she was talking again.
The emperor cheered up and said: "Yes, it has happened.
When King De made trouble, many people in the palace responded.
At that time, when he looked at every face around him, he would have doubts in his heart, not knowing that the other person was wrapped in a skin.
No one can believe what his heart is like, and I can't sleep at night.
Also, when I dismissed the old prime minister Ma Taishi, I even thought about withdrawing the decree before the palace supervisor read it. " No one knew about these things.
The emperor had always buried these things deep in his heart, and no one could see that he had hesitated or flinched at that time.
But that's how it is with Xie Ning, the emperor likes her frankness.
With him, the emperor felt that there was nothing he could not say.
Just like when he was in Jinfeng Garden, the emperor took her to meet Princess Mingshou.
The emperor knew what Princess Mingshou would say before going there, and when he saw it, it turned out to be exactly what he had guessed in advance.
He felt that there was nothing Xie Ning could not know about these things.
Even if she knew it, she would not have any selfish thoughts from it, let alone use it as a basis or even spread it out.
She won't.
I went to bed late at night and woke up later than usual in the morning.
The eldest prince no longer needs to go to the study room, but he is still used to reading and practicing calligraphy in his room after breakfast these days.
Xie Ning had seen so many of his cousins skipping school and being punished by his uncle that he thought all children in the world were the same.
It turned out that the eldest prince was so well-behaved and studious.
If his health hadn't allowed him to do so, he would have spent ten hours a day studying.
According to the masters at Nanyuan Study Room, the eldest prince is extremely talented, diligent and eager to learn.
He is indeed a good young man. that is It's just that the body is weak.
Xie Ning misses the time she used to make dumplings behind closed doors to celebrate the New Year.
Now that she opens her eyes, her time is no longer her own.
What she does at what time and where she goes at what time are all clearly written down.
Xie Ning had a vague feeling that the help the emperor gave her was indeed worry-free.
Although the old ministers now treated her with a smile, the essence remained the same.
She was still being tightly controlled, and she was not even as comfortable as when she was dealing with them before.
At that time, two ministers were looking at a dozen beauties, but now they were looking at her alone.
Is this comparable?
Xie Ning's Jifu today is bright yellow, with auspicious clouds and Qingluan embroidered on the robe, and he wears two pairs of large phoenix hairpins on his head.
To be honest, this whole set of robes was heavy and cumbersome.
Even if she was sitting at the annual banquet, it would be inconvenient for her to eat and drink.
So Xie Ning had already filled his stomach before putting on this outfit.
When serving her to dress, Qing He asked while tying the belt: "Master, is this a little tight?"
"It's okay, that's it."
Qing He was worried that she had eaten something just now and it was too tight to make her feel uncomfortable.
It was inconvenient for her to bend over, so she knelt down to help Xie Ning straighten out the silk tassels hanging from her belt.
She turned back and said, "Give me that longer lace."
Qingzhu was stunned for some reason.
Qinghe said it again before she came back to her senses.
She quickly took the several straps in her hand and let Qinghe choose.
Qing He didn't know why she was distracted right now.
It was probably because there were too many things to do during the New Year, and she was too busy to look forward or backward.
The emperor walked in and stood by the screen to admire Xie Ning in all her makeup.
Xie Ning saw him in the tall bronze mirror, smiled at him, and then slowly turned around.

The ring jingles and the fragrant breeze blows.
Xie Ning's beauty is like the stars shining in the small room.
It is almost impossible to open your eyes and look directly at her face.
"Your Majesty, haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
It was almost dusk, and the emperor was still wearing ordinary clothes.
"I'm not like you, who has to take such a long time to clean up."
Xie Ning started dressing up in the middle of the afternoon, but the emperor had much less trouble.
Although the crown and clothes were more grand than usual, he didn't have to bother to draw his eyebrows.
Applying powder, bun and hairpins, it can be done in a quarter of an hour at most
