The news that the royal chariot had arrived at the door had been reported.
Mrs.
Fang held Xia Hong's hand and stood in front of the door to greet her.
The emperor hurriedly took two steps forward, but when he stood in front of Mrs.
Fang, he was speechless again.
Fortunately, Xie Ning took a step forward with a smile: "You are not in good health to begin with.
Don't stand outside talking in such a cold weather."
Mrs.
Fang's guests have left, but the traces of hospitality have not been completely cleaned up.
The two chairs placed by the Kang have not been put back to their original places.
It just so happens that there is no need to clean them up at this moment.
The emperor naturally leaned on them.
He sat down on the chair on the left, and Xie Ning naturally sat next to him.
Mrs.
Fang asked Xia Hong to make tea and asked: "The winter banquet has been over for half an hour, right?"
"That's all I need to do.
Everyone feels uncomfortable there, so I took the first step."
Mrs.
Fang held back her laughter.
The emperor said that others were uncomfortable, but in fact he himself was the most uncomfortable.
The concubines in the harem were looking forward to seeing the emperor, but the emperor rarely entered the harem, and their hands could not reach the Changning Palace.
It was not easy to get a chance to see the emperor, but they were all dressed up and begging for the emperor's favor.
As a result, The emperor showed his face and left without staying for long.
I wonder what those people were feeling at this moment.
Mrs.
Fang asked again if the banquet was going well, and the emperor was accustomed to reply with a good word.
Xie Ning first smiled and said: "The things on the banquet are not just like that.
Everything has an auspicious and nice name, and everything is useful."
To begin with, there is nothing delicious.
I only drank two sips of soup, and the emperor drank a glass of wine, which was the wine to celebrate the winter before the banquet started, and now my stomach is empty. " Mrs.
Fang hurriedly said: "How can we do that?
It's already cold, and I have an empty stomach.
Where can I get warm?"
She quickly ordered someone to bring some late night snacks.
It doesn't have to be too particular, as long as it's quick and soft.
Just palatable.
Xie Ning glanced at the emperor with a smile, and could feel that he was obviously relieved, and even his sitting posture relaxed.
Another person might not be able to notice it, but Xie Ning was with the emperor every day, and his understanding of him was sometimes as clear as his own.
She is a clear observer, and she sees the emperor and his wife more clearly.
The Emperor has been thinking about his biological mother for so many years, and this has only started when he learned about his true life experience.
He has never given up searching for her for many years.
Now that he has finally recognized Mrs.
Fang, he must be filled with sorrow and joy, but also uneasy.
Mrs.
Fang is no better than him.

She had lived alone in the palace for many years.
If she hadn't thought about having children, she might not have been able to survive.
Both mother and son want to get closer, to make up for the shortcomings of the past, to make up for all the regrets and deficiencies.
But after all, there were decades between them, and neither of them was enthusiastic and outgoing.
The more anxious they felt, the less they knew what to do.
Just like just now, when Mrs.
Fang asked them if they were eating well, if Xie Ning didn't interject and let the emperor speak for himself, he would definitely answer with a "good" word.
But if this happens, I won't be able to catch up with the rest of the conversation, and it's bound to be a quiet moment.
At this time, Xie Ning's existence becomes even more important.
Without her, the Emperor and Mrs.
Fang would probably be unable to find anything to talk about when they sat together except for a few dry polite words.
Everything in the kitchen is ready-made, just for fear that it will not be available when the master orders.
Not long after Mrs.
Fang gave the order, the kitchen was busy delivering midnight snacks.
Hot mixed noodles, topped with sliced beef and vegetables, a few fresh snacks, a sweet and salty porridge, and a pot of almond tea.
Looking at the almond tea, Xie Ningxin said that the people in the dining room were indeed better informed than anyone else.
After Princess Yuyao gave her instructions, they had found out the information and hurriedly delivered it.
Their intention to please was obvious.
The dining table was set, and three pairs of bowls and chopsticks were set out.
Xie Ning asked someone to serve the noodles, especially the blanched vegetables.
The emperor didn't feel hungry at first, but the assorted noodles were so fragrant, especially the marinated assorted soy sauce.
The aroma was so fragrant that it made people move their fingers just by smelling it.
His bowl of noodles included twice as much beef as the assorted sauce.
I also poured two tablespoons more on top.
The sauce is a vegetarian sauce, made from fried mushrooms, lotus root, diced tofu, and the taste is not inferior to the meat sauce.
Mrs.
Fang had already eaten, so she filled half a bowl of porridge and ate with them.
The emperor picked up the bowl and took a sip of the soup, then ate the noodles.
Xie Ning looked much more delicate than usual when eating the same thing, but she also had a good appetite and finished most of the bowl of noodles quickly.
Mrs.
Fang looked at this and that, and the corners of her lips raised quietly at some point.
She usually didn't eat much, but seeing the two people in front of her eating so deliciously, she unknowingly ate half a bowl of porridge.
The emperor felt full after eating two bowls of noodles and put the bowl down.
The dining table was removed and tea was served again.
Xie Ning asked: "I heard that the soup delivered in the evening was okay, madam.
If you think it's palatable, I'll have it delivered again tomorrow."
Fang Shanggong said with a smile: "No matter how delicious the food is, it doesn't taste good when you eat it continuously.
Just remember that it will taste better the next time you eat it."
"That's true."
Xie Ning told Mrs.
Fang how to take care of the small garden in Fuhui Hall.
In addition to holly, dwarf pine and jade cypress were all planted in large tanks and moved directly.
There is still a lot of greenery.
There is an old plum tree leaning against the northwest corner of the garden.
It has been planted there for at least 30 to 50 years.

Mrs.
Fang said that when she looked at it during the day, there were already flowers on the tree.
In the next two days, the wintersweet will bloom.
At that time, Xie Ning was invited to appreciate the plum blossoms.
Xie Ning responded with a smile and asked the emperor: "The emperor will also come to enjoy the flowers when the time comes."
The emperor said hello.
Mrs.
Fang was also relieved.
She said she wanted Xie Ning, but actually she still wanted the emperor to come.
It's just that it's hard to speak directly, but luckily Xie Ning is there to help.
"Speaking of which, the emperor and the concubine are not here today.
I also have something to discuss with the emperor and the concubine.
Seeing that the weather is getting colder and colder day by day, it is not appropriate for Princess Yubing to be alone in Shoukang Palace.
The concubine will see you today.
Is Cao Shunrong?
She has recovered from her illness.
Have you said anything to the empress?"
"I didn't say anything."
Xie Ning was also thinking about this matter, and just now he took a closer look at Cao Shunrong.
Cao Shunrong is wearing new clothes, and the clothes and jewelry are more gorgeous and elegant than what she used to wear, but a person's energy cannot be sustained by two new clothes or makeup.
The more uncharacteristically Cao Shunrong dresses up, the more it shows that her illness has not really been cured
