Xie Ning accompanied the emperor for a walk in the imperial garden.
The sun was setting and the afterglow could only illuminate some high places.
The emperor saw her looking at the high place, where the setting sun reflected a warm golden color.
"Go up there and have a look."
Xie Ning smiled and said, "Okay."
He added, "Fortunately, I didn't wear those shoes with fragrant wooden soles when I came out."
The emperor's daily life and actions are quite simple, he does not practice palaces, and he does not like hunting.
These were the late emperor's favorite things, and they were all a waste of money.
But when it came to dressing her up, the emperor had never been simple.
It had always been like this.
She was given brocades of peacock tail feathers, and pearls shrouded in the mist of night.
Then, in order to celebrate this Mid-Autumn Festival, the needlework bureau received the emperor's orders and sent clothes, shoes, auspicious clothes, and court crowns, all of which were extremely exquisite and valuable. object.
As for those shoes, the soles were made of agarwood, and the fragrance was faintly diffused from the hollow pores.
The emperor even said with a smile, this is what is written in the book.
She looks good.
She wears high-soled shoes and her walking posture becomes more graceful and graceful, like a willow in the wind.
Just tired feet.
After all, the wooden base was too hard, and because it was too high, I had to be even more careful.
Xie Ning showed it to the emperor once and he knew what it was like.
It would be better to offer the shoes.
Anyway, they are made of agarwood with gold pin clouds inlaid on them.
They can also be used as spices when placed in the cabinet.
If you really want to wear them, She was afraid that her ankle bones would be broken.
After she finished speaking, the emperor continued: "It doesn't matter.
If you wear those pairs, I can carry you up."
Xie Ning's face felt a little hot and he turned his face away.
When he saw the high stairs of Fengyi Terrace, Xie Ning couldn't help but think, could the emperor really carry her all the way to the top of the building?
The stairs were long.
When we got to the top of the building, we had a clearer view.
It's high here, and you can see far away.
You can see the Qinglu Pond, which is dotted with golden scales under the setting sun.
But it's already late, and fog is forming on the lake.
Looking further away, only the glazed tile roofs of the many palace buildings are still bright. , like a fish swimming in this foggy sea.
The palace became increasingly deserted.
A lot of people left at once.
Can we still hold the customary Mid-Autumn Festival banquet?
The palace often felt agitated when there were many people around, but now that many people were gone, she still felt a little sad.
She didn't even know what she was feeling sad about.
Probably because this palace city is too big.
During the time of the late emperor, there were thousands of beauties here alone, plus slaves, eunuchs, and guards, tens of thousands of people also lived here, although I heard it was a bit crowded.
Now the number of people in the palace is only a fraction of what it was during the late emperor's time.
The eunuchs were not let out, but most of the palace people were let out.
Even Bai Hongqi felt that the situation was outrageous and said that he was short of manpower.
In fact, there is no shortage of manpower, but in the past, people were used to being idle.
For example, there were dozens of people just in charge of cleaning and cleaning in Changning Palace.

They were divided into two shifts and worked backwards.
Most of the time, people were actually idle.
Suddenly, the work that was done by three or four people had to be done by one person, and naturally it seemed tighter and more tiring than before.
According to Mrs.
Fang, they are actually free.
Xie Ning asked the people around him, but they didn't want to go out.
Qinghe had made up his mind not to get married, and Qingmei also said that she had no relatives outside the palace and did not want to go out.
Most of the other people also felt that errands in Yong'an Palace were rare, and it might not be as good if they went out, so except for the two rough messengers, no one else was allowed out.
Qing He has always been steady.
If she really leaves, Xie Ning will not have anyone to replace her for a while.
It's just that she thought Qingmei would go out before, but she didn't expect that this girl had a very serious idea and couldn't say it outright.
Not only this time, but I also don’t plan to go out in the future.
She has served Xie Ning for several years, and Xie Ning will naturally not leave her without a future.
But isn't it bad to get married out of the palace?
She is a palace servant serving Xie Ning, so she is not afraid of being bullied without a backer after leaving the palace.
But she just said she couldn't go out, and she wouldn't go out in the future.
Xie Ning understood the reason more or less.
Qingmei doesn't go out, maybe because she has no relatives outside, but it's more likely because there are people in the palace who she cares about.
In the palace, you often have to turn a blind eye.
You just need to understand some things in your heart, but you still have to pretend not to know on the outside.
This time the Needlework Bureau also left a lot of people.
These people are all very skilled in their skills.
They don’t have to worry about finding jobs when they go out.
There are plenty of people willing to hire them.
Mrs.
Fang has been in the needlework bureau for many years and knows the situation in the needlework bureau very well.
Even though so many people left, there was no shortage of manpower.
It turns out that a lot of people in the needlework bureau are idle every day.
They can't make clothes for the emperor and the concubines, and they don't need to do the rough work of the palace maids and eunuchs.
In fact, there is no benefit to being idle like this.
Being idle is easy to cause trouble, and secondly, the skills will be wasted.
Once they were released this time, they were very happy.
Although there are fewer manpower, the work handed over by the needlework bureau is still not inferior in the slightest, which shows that the person who leaves does not actually matter.
Xie Ning usually doesn't go to the East Sixth Palace, but I heard that it doesn't have much influence there.
Originally, the people around the concubines were all old, and they had no easy way out if they went out.
They didn't want to leave the palace, but just wanted to stay in the palace to take care of themselves.
So when we release people this time, the impact on the other side will be the least.
Because the weather was nice, someone from the East Sixth Palace came to greet Fang Shang Palace and give him something.
The East Sixth Palace is deserted, but I heard that the flowers and trees there are well taken care of.
The osmanthus flowers blooming in the palace garden, and the pomegranates and grapes picked are not precious things, but they are given to Fang Shang specially because of their caring.
Palace tastes new things.
The emperor and Xie Ning were happy to see the results of these exchanges.
Mrs.
Fang rarely goes out except to take care of Princess Yubing.
Occasionally, I go to Yong'an Palace to see Princess Yuyao and the two princes.

Although Xie Ning went there often, after all, she and Mrs.
Fang didn't have much to say.
However, there are still Mrs.
Fang's old acquaintances in the East Sixth Palace.
This time the palace is going to let people go, and someone from the East Sixth Palace has already come to inquire about the news from Madam Fang.
After going back and forth like this, he started to move around.
"That's Fuhui Hall, right?"
Looking down from Fengyi Terrace, you can clearly see Yong'an Palace.
Fuhui Hall is just a little past Yong'an Palace.
There are pine and cypress trees that are particularly easy to recognize.
"Yes."
The emperor said, "I wonder if Madam has had dinner at this moment.
How about we go there and have a meal."
You can go, there are fixed times for dining in the palace, and Mrs.
Fang’s place probably hasn’t eaten yet.
But when he said he wanted to go, naturally the two of them couldn't just go.
The emperor sent people back to bring the second and third princes together, and even the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao also came with them.
The second prince has learned a lot and knows how to salute and greet him, although he is very clumsy because of his fat body.
When the third prince was just learning to speak, he would come up with a word from time to time, but most of it was meaningless, and no one could understand what he was babbling
