The emperor came in the rain.
He walked very quickly after getting off the chariot.
The hem of his robe was splashed with rainwater, and there were raindrops on his head and body.
Bai Hongqi held up his umbrella and trotted away without following.
The emperor was more than a head taller than him, so it was really difficult for Bai Hongqi to follow him.
Xie Ning stood in front of the door to greet her.
When the emperor saw her, he waved his hand: "Come in quickly, it's cold outside."
Xie Ning held one of the emperor's hands, and the two walked into the palace arm in arm.
The emperor was afraid that the cold air on his body would irritate her, so he let go of her hand as soon as he entered the room, went to the side hall to change out of his wet coat, and wiped the rain off his head and face.
Xie Ning stood by the screen and watched the emperor change his clothes and cleanse his face, not wanting to leave his eyes for a moment.
After all, she hadn't seen the emperor for three days.
As people say, one day is like three autumns apart, so nine autumns have passed since her.
She couldn't see the emperor, so she ate, drank, and lived as usual, but she just felt panicked.
There is an empty space in my chest.
Now that I have met him, that space has been filled.
The emperor turned around and saw Xie Ning looking at him like that.
Xie Ning asked softly: "Has the emperor had dinner?"
The emperor was stunned for a moment, and Xie Ning simply changed the question: "When was the emperor's last meal?"
After noon, the emperor was preoccupied with things and had no appetite at all.
The kitchen had been racking its brains these past few days.
Knowing that the emperor was anxious about the river floods, the emperor did not dare to use those rare and precious ingredients in the meals, and the soup was not watery.
Dare to go up.
The emperor remembered that his last meal should have been in the afternoon.
It was not clear what time it was in the afternoon, and he did not remember what he had eaten.
Xie Ning understood it at a glance.
"I have prepared a late-night snack here.
I don't have anything to eat during dinner, so I can use it with the emperor."
The emperor felt a little hungry now, nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I always get what I want when I come to you."
Xie Ning pursed his lips and smiled.
While waiting for dinner to be served, Xie Ning sat next to the emperor without moving for a moment.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao both had people come over.
They knew that the emperor had not had dinner yet, so they did not come over.
They were afraid that they would disturb the emperor's meal by talking when they came.
The dining table was brought in, and the emperor served a small bowl of soup for Xie Ning: "You can drink it to drive away the cold on a rainy day."
Xie Ning scooped a large spoonful of fish stew into the bowl for the emperor.
The fish soup is filled with pepper and vinegar, which is delicious and sour.
The spicy and sour texture reveals the unique tenderness of the fish.
As for the fish bones, there are no fish bones.
If the emperor eats a bone in the fish soup, the dining room will be wiped out.
No one from the eunuch in charge to those who started the fire could escape the blame.
The emperor took a mouthful of fish soup.
The hot fish soup and the freshly steamed japonica rice were a perfect match.
After swallowing the rice, his tongue and stomach seemed to be so hot that he woke up.
You can smell the aroma of food and feel your body's hunger, thirst and fatigue.
Xie Ning was not actually hungry, but the emperor's food was delicious, so she followed suit and used a lot of it.

When eating at this time, it is impossible to prepare anything with fat chicken and big duck, which will make people feel tired and unappetizing.
In addition to the fish soup, there is also a very tender tofu, two plates of cold side dishes, and a soup.
On such a depressing rainy night, the Emperor felt very comfortable having such a dinner.
After the dinner was gone, Xie Ning asked: "Ying Gen and Yu Yao both miss the emperor.
Let's ask them to come over for a drink of tea and say a few words to save them from thinking about it."
The emperor also missed the children.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao came over quickly.
It was raining.
When the eldest prince came to the door, he was wearing a green bamboo hat on his head.
Princess Yuyao was holding a plain gray paper hat painted with willows on the banks of the Misty River.
Umbrella, even the second prince was carried over by the wet nurse.
He was already sleepy.
He rubbed his eyes with his fat hands and yawned.
He leaned next to the emperor and began to doze off.
The emperor looked at the looks of the other two children and saw that they looked good.
He waved them over to sit down and talk.
He asked a few questions about the eldest prince's homework.
In fact, the emperor didn't want to ask his son about his homework.
What he wanted to ask more was whether the eldest prince had been in good health and comfortable these past two days.
But one look at his complexion and expression showed that Xie Ning had taken good care of both children.
As for the eldest prince, he was studious and inquiring.
He was happy when the emperor asked him about his homework, because this was his hobby and the only advantage he had now.
He also wants to grow up quickly and be able to take care of his father's worries, but now he can't do anything.
Xie Ning sat quietly and listened.
When he saw Princess Yuyao reaching for the cake on the plate, he signaled Qinghe to take the plate away after Princess Yuyao took a piece.
It was almost time to go to bed, and I was afraid of accumulating food if I ate now, and the sweet cakes were too sweet, so I was afraid of damaging her teeth.
Princess Yuyao watched the plate being taken away and regretted not taking an extra piece just now.
Xie Ning listened to the questions and answers from the emperor and the eldest prince.
The emperor's expression was very kind and gentle, and the eldest prince's eyes were shining, and a smile appeared on his lips involuntarily.
Xie Ning understood that what the emperor cared about most was not the eldest prince's studies.
He asked these questions mainly not to test his son in school, but because the eldest prince was studious and he wanted to prove himself to the emperor.
After the emperor and the eldest prince have spoken, let Princess Yuyao come forward to speak.
Princess Yuyao has officially started studying these days, and the date was chosen by Tai Shiling.
The emperor asked her how she felt about studying and whether she liked what the master taught her.
Princess Yuyao is very smart, but not very patient.
She can read very quickly.
She had a solid foundation in reading before, and now she can read quickly as soon as the teacher teaches her.
It was Princess Yuyao who didn't have the patience to write.
However, after Xie Ning and Fang Shanggong discussed it, she asked the master to give her writing homework every day, just to temper her temper and stop her from being so impatient and extreme.
"Master is fine."
Princess Yuyao said, "He just seems very cold."
In addition to the two palace ministers and an old Hanlin bachelor, she also has a master, Master Yang Ruolin.
Master Yang has been a housekeeper for many years.
Even if his temperament was not cold before, he has become cold now.
She was serious in speech, acted and spoke in a precise manner, and dressed exceptionally plainly.

When they first met, Princess Yuyao also wanted to salute the master, so she turned sideways to accept the salute and saluted the princess again.
That day she wore a blue-gray double-breasted dress with a dark tang-colored skirt underneath.
Princess Yuyao didn't like the color and style.
She looked like those monks.
Even though Princess Yuyao was very smart and could learn things quickly, Master Yang could only say coolly that she was good.
Unlike Empress Xie, she had a gentle smile and never hesitated to praise her.
"Master just needs to be stricter."
The emperor said, "If master talks to you in a sincere and fearful manner or if he smiles playfully, then he has lost his way as a teacher and is not worthy of teaching you."
Princess Yuyao had no intention of complaining.
Although she could not say that she liked the master, she did not want to replace her.
Anyway, she went there in the morning every day and had a total of one hour of class in the morning.
There was also time for tea, snacks and play time in the middle.
She and her master didn't have much to talk to outside of class.
The eldest prince and Princess Yuyao were also sensible.
Knowing that the emperor had been working hard for days, they both left after speaking, so that the emperor could rest early.
The second prince fell asleep long ago and was carried out by his wet nurse.
The emperor and Xie Ning were the only two people left in the palace.
Xie Ning took a wooden comb to comb the emperor's hair carefully.
The emperor was originally tense, but now she was combing it slowly like this.
The comb teeth scraped his scalp, and his whole body slowly relaxed.
What Xie Ning said were trivial matters.
It was always rainy these days and the clothes couldn't be dried, so Qing He and the others filled the iron with charcoal and slowly ironed the clothes dry.
"As a result, Qingmei got distracted while working and burned one of Xie Ning's skirts.
She was so frightened that she couldn't even kneel down and kowtow to apologize."
The emperor smiled, closed his eyes, and held Xie Ning's hand that was not holding the comb: "Don't feel bad if you burn any of them.
I'll have someone make a new one for you."
Xie Ning just laughed: "I'm so sloppy now.
I wish I didn't comb my hair or apply powder every day.
I won't wear new clothes even if they are made.
I'd better wait until next year to do it."
The emperor groaned and just leaned there with his eyes closed.
Xie Ning combed his hair for a while and found that the emperor was asleep.
How tired he must be these days.
Xie Ning sat there, just looking at him, feeling extremely satisfied, more comfortable than taking a magical elixir.
If only she could help.
It's a pity that she has seen, experienced and understood too little.
Even if the emperor told her what he was worried about, she would probably only be able to understand it, let alone give him any advice.
Looking at the vertical lines between the emperor's brows, Xie Ning really wanted to reach out and smooth them out for him.
The emperor came late and left early in the morning.
Xie Ning was awakened by the thunder outside.
When she woke up, she was the only one on the bed.
As his belly gradually swelled, Xie Ning's habits became more and more lazy.
She asked: "When did the emperor leave?
Is it raining heavily?
Did the emperor have breakfast?"

Qing He said: "It was already raining heavily when the Emperor left, and breakfast was of no use.
It wasn't raining heavily when His Highness the First Prince left, so Hu Rong followed him to see it off.
He said that as soon as His Highness entered the study, it started to rain heavily. ” Xie Ning glanced at the sky outside and was inevitably worried for the emperor.
She was worried about the emperor's health.
It was raining heavily and everything seemed deserted.
Most people were huddled indoors to hide from the rain.
However, some people braved the heavy rain and quietly went out to run errands.
Concubine Jin couldn't wait any longer.
In fact, Ma Shanggong had been asking about Fang Shanggong's past affairs several days in advance.
Although the palace has been cleaned over and over again, there are not many old people left, but in some nooks and crannies, there are still some old people left.
Ma Shanggong has been in the palace for a long time, and he always has a few acquaintances and connections.
She arrived at Cuihua Palace in the East Sixth Palace in the heavy rain.
Of course she didn't want to enter Cuihua Palace, but went around the palace wall and went to a courtyard behind Cuihua Palace
