The emperor came back late in the evening, well past the time for dinner.
Normally, he would come back as early as possible, and he would have people move back to read the unfinished books.
The small study room in Yong'an Palace became more and more crowded day by day, and there was simply not enough space.
But today is different.
Today Mrs.
Lin is here.
With Mrs.
Lin watching, she was not afraid that Xie Ning would not eat regularly.
The emperor had seen how Mrs.
Lin taught Xie Ning a lesson, and he really did not treat her as a noble concubine.
To be honest, the emperor had never spoken to her in such a tone.
Because that's different.
For Xie Ning, Mrs.
Lin is like a mother.
Even if a mother beats and scolds her children, it is mostly for the good of the children.
Xie Ning will not be unhappy at all when Mrs.
Lin scolds her.
She is also particularly happy to listen to Mrs.
Lin's lectures. she.
And it is impossible for the emperor to use such a tone to talk to his beloved concubine who gave birth to a child for him.
Xie Ning was in awe of him at first, and the emperor still remembered Xie Ning's restrained look when she accompanied him for a meal for the first time.
The emperor has always given Xie Ning enough respect for her.
Because all the eyes in the palace are looking at him and he respects her, others will respect her.
If the emperor lowers his face today and speaks harshly to Xie Ning like Mrs.
Lin, those people in the palace with ulterior motives will not take the imperial concubine seriously the next day, and everyone will want to rush up and bite this piece of fat.
One mouthful.
It is said that the palace is the most prosperous and prosperous place in the world, but the people living here are like jackals.
They are afraid of the strong, but they bully and devour the weak more ferociously than anyone else.
When he was still young, the emperor saw how the eunuch leaders around the queen mother tortured and tortured the palace people and eunuchs.
It was simply something that no human being could do.
Living among the many palaces, the emperor felt like he was living in a dangerous wilderness, surrounded by jackals, tigers and leopards who wanted to devour anyone.
He stood alone in this wilderness of cannibalism.
If he didn't want to die, he could only become stronger than everyone else.
Because Mrs.
Lin is here, the emperor can let go of most of his worries.
If he comes back, Mrs.
Lin will feel uncomfortable and reserved.
Mrs.
Lin has not been in the palace for some days, so she must have a lot to say with the noble concubine.
The emperor thought that they would feel uncomfortable if they went there, so he was not in a hurry to go back.
During dinner, the emperor presented dishes to Yong'an Palace as a courtesy to Mrs.
Lin.
When Bai Hongqi returned from a trip to Yong'an Palace, he reported to the emperor in detail the situation of the imperial concubine and Mrs.
Lin.
"Your Majesty is very happy today and her appetite is better than the past few days.

When I went there, I was talking to Mrs.
Lin.
Fang Shanggong said that my Majesty slept for almost an hour in the afternoon and drank some mung bean soup after she woke up.
I'm in good spirits.
The lady liked the nut tofu dish and ate a lot of it."
Nut tofu is sweet.
After the tofu is fried, it is stewed with fresh fruits and various nuts.
Honey is also added to it.
It feels particularly warm and sweet when eaten hot in winter.
However, eating it in summer is a bit greasy as it is both sugary and oily.
When the emperor ordered the dishes to be rewarded, he only mentioned how many dishes to reward, but did not specify what dishes to reward.
It was left up to the people in the kitchen to decide.
As a result, the people in the dining room actually prepared this dish.
They probably thought that Mrs.
Lin was no longer a young person.
The tofu was soft, sweet and glutinous, and it was suitable for her to eat, so she made this dish.
Unexpectedly The empress actually ate quite well.
It can be seen that people are in high spirits during happy events.
If I had known that Mrs.
Lin's arrival would be so useful, I should have invited her into the palace earlier.
Xie Ning was not the only one who was happy, the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao were also overjoyed.
Fortunately for the eldest prince, there were too few people outside the palace that Princess Yuyao could come into contact with.
Before the meal, she asked a series of questions.
After dinner, she was reluctant to leave.
She sat aside and listened to Mrs.
Lin.
When talking to Xie Ning, even if Mrs.
Lin talks about the most common things outside, she listens with interest.
Especially when Mrs.
Lin talked about Xie Ning's childhood, Princess Yuyao's eyes widened and she was reluctant to blink.
It seemed that even blinking would cause her to miss something important.
Just like this moment, Mrs.
Lin smiled and said that Xie Ning went out to play with people when she was a child.
The river froze and the older children ran onto the ice.
She followed her, but when they reached the middle of the river, everyone else ran away.
She stood there alone, not daring to go back, just stuck there.
"The ice is not that thick.
Children are too light to go up there, but adults are too heavy to do so.
They are afraid that they will break the ice.
Even if they want to bring her back, they can't go there."
Princess Yuyao asked very worriedly: "What happened next?
How did the empress come back?
Did she not fall into the river?"
Although that happened more than ten years ago, and the imperial concubine is still sitting in front of her now, Princess Yuyao is really worried about the little girl who was trapped on the ice and couldn't move.

Lin smiled and asked Xie Ning: "Do you still remember?"
Xie Ning thought for a moment and shook his head.
She must have been three or four years old at that time.
She was too young and it took too long.
Looking back on what happened at that time now, I only remember some fragmentary and important things.
She really doesn't remember anything about what Mrs.
Lin said.
But it’s not entirely correct to say that I don’t remember it at all.
She could still remember the frozen river behind the Lin family's old house, the withered yellow reeds by the river, and even her uncle holding her hand and taking her to play by the river, rolling reed leaves into a whistle and blowing it, but the whistle When it got into her hand, she couldn't blow it.
Not only did it not blow, the well-rolled whistle also fell apart.
"I asked her cousin to tie a rope around her waist, lie down on the ice and crawl over slowly.
After crawling to the front, he tied the rope around her body, and the two of them slowly climbed back together."
It was getting dark at that time, and Mrs.
Lin was very panicked.
She was afraid that the ice would suddenly crack, and she was afraid that Xie Ning would scare her and call her name and talk to her on the shore.
What made people even more anxious was that the weather was cold and Xie Ning was small.
He was tired and sleepy before he climbed halfway, and almost fell asleep on the ice.
Mrs.
Lin was so anxious that she stood on the shore and kept shouting.
Fortunately, Xie Ning was not the only one on the ice, but his second cousin was with him.
Princess Yuyao asked in confusion: "Why do you have to crawl over?"
"It's easy to crack the ice when you step on it, but it's different when you're lying on your stomach.
It's safer than standing up."
As for why the rope is tied, it is of course just in case.
If the ice really cracks and falls into the cold river, at least there will be a rope to pull the person out of the water quickly.
Mrs.
Lin wouldn't remember much if she didn't mention this matter.
When she mentioned it, the anxiety and fear at that time flooded into her heart again.
If the ice had really cracked and Xie Ning fell, Mrs.
Lin might have jumped too anxiously
