There were so many people, including half-grown children, that the dining table was almost overturned.
This is no exaggeration, the second prince is now a troublemaker.
Although Xie Ning had taken care of the eldest prince and Princess Yuyao, when he had such a headache before, the eldest prince was very sensible and never caused any trouble.
After all, Princess Yuyao was a girl, and she was sensible early, so she didn't let Xie Ning worry too much.
But it was different when it came to the second prince.
This child was so naughty that he never stopped from opening his eyes to closing them, which often gave Xie Ning a headache.
Mrs.
Lin also said with a smile: "Where are you now?
I haven't reached the peak period yet.
When you are seven or eight years old, you really dare to go to the house to build a tile."
Xie Ning got even more headache when mentioning this.
However, she quickly thought that when she turned seven or eight, the second prince would be old enough to go to the study.
At that time, even if she wanted to take care of the child, she would no longer be in charge of it.
During lunch, the second prince was unwilling to sit in his own seat, so he had to squeeze in and sit next to the eldest prince.
The third prince followed suit and had to sit with his eldest brother.
He also wanted to climb on his lap, but the wet nurse couldn't pull him away.
Xie Ning picked him up, which relieved half of the eldest prince's waist.
As for the other half, the second prince, he is too difficult to deal with, even his own mother can't deal with him.
Fortunately, the second prince was obedient in front of his brother.
As long as he sat where he wanted, he stopped looking for trouble and was extremely honest when eating.
The second prince is several years younger than the eldest prince, but his appetite has already caught up and he eats more than the eldest prince.
The eldest prince doesn't like to eat meat, but likes to eat vegetables.
The second prince is just the opposite, he likes to eat meat.
I especially like the Thousand Son Pork and Meatballs in Clear Soup specially presented in the dining room.
Most of the Qianzi meat is fried.
The kitchen was afraid that the second and third princes had weak intestines and could not eat too greasy food, so they changed it to steamed.
When it was steamed, they even opened the lid several times to steam the meat.
The fat seeping out of the meat is discarded, and the steamed Qianzi meat is more tender than tofu, so fragrant that it makes people salivate, and it is not greasy at all.
Just with this dish, the second prince could eat two bowls of rice.
I can eat so much, but I am not as fat as I was when I was a child.
Of course, his face is still chubby and his hands are fleshy, but if you pinch his arms and legs, the flesh on them is strong.
After lunch, a bunch of children ran away huffing and puffing.
The second and third princes insisted on following their brother, and Lin Minsheng also followed.
The side hall, which had been noisy just now, suddenly became quiet.
Xie Ning smiled and asked people to tidy up the palace.
Qing He asked: "Master, please rest for a while.
I slept late last night.
I heard my master coughing."
"It's been a bit dry lately."
Xie Ning said, "Let me prepare some autumn pear juice and drink a bowl at night."
However, this afternoon nap was destined to be endless, Qing He just spread out the gauze quilt, and someone came from Changning Palace.
The emperor summoned the imperial concubine Changning Palace to accompany him, and the chariot picking them up had already arrived at the entrance of Yong'an Palace.
Qing He quickly tidied up Xie Ning and served her to Changning Hall.
Bai Hongqi was waiting outside the door.
When he saw the chariot coming, he quickly took two steps forward and held on to the chariot's bars, saying: "Slower, more steady."

When the chariot touched the ground, he personally helped Xie Ning down.
This kind of diligence is unusual.
Xie Ning asked softly: "Your Majesty, how can you have a leisurely lunch now?"
Bai Hongqi hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty has some free time now, he hasn't had lunch yet."
"Is Envoy Yuanhu gone?
Where is he located now?"
Bai Hongqi had nothing to hide in front of Xie Ning.
He said clearly: "I have left the palace, and the emperor asked someone to place him in the Concierge Courtyard."
What Bai Hongqi didn't say was that the envoy of Yuan Hu just paid back the son of the Khan.
But it was very rude.
Shannan Khan did not send his son here to accompany the envoy to travel through the Central Plains.
Such an half-grown child could not handle any serious business.
He said he was going to court on behalf of his father, but in fact he was acting as a hostage.
Xie Ning entered the palace.
It was already winter, but the doors and windows were wide open.
The cold wind was swirling in the palace, and it was as cold as outside.
Xie Ning glanced at Bai Hongqi, who had a bitter look on his face: "Your Majesty, the window must be opened for ventilation."
"Hurry up and let someone close it.
It's not good to catch a cold in this weather."
Upon receiving her order, Bai Hongqi quickly asked someone to close the window.
He was not anxious, but he could not be the emperor's master.
However, the imperial concubine has a strong backbone, and when she speaks, Bai Hongqi is naturally willing to obey.
The emperor was sitting in front of the desk, but when he heard Xie Ning's voice, he got up and walked out.
Xie Ning gently held one of his hands.
It was so cold in the palace, but the emperor's palms were very warm.
"Bai Hongqi said that the emperor hasn't had lunch yet," Xie Ning said softly, "I haven't had enough to eat at noon, so I just need to make up for it with the emperor."
Over there, Bai Hongqi didn't need to give any more instructions, he had already ordered people to pass on the food.
The emperor took her hand and sat down on the soft couch by the window: "Why are you not full?
Is it because the food does not suit your taste or because you are not feeling well?"
"None of them.
Today Ying Yi and Min Sheng came to say hello, so I left them to have dinner together.
Hong'er and Feng'er became more and more noisy when they saw the crowd.
They couldn't get through just by pestering them.
How could they do it?
It’s time to eat.”
Listening to Xie Ning talking about the children, the emperor also had a smile on his face: "The older they are, the more naughty they are.
When they are free, they must be properly disciplined."
Xie Ning didn't take his words seriously.
That's what the emperor said.
He was never really cruel.
The emperor was even more spoiled than Xie Ning.
The dining table was brought in, and Xie Ning and the emperor sat on the left and right sides.
Bai Hongqi was not worried about others and asked the eunuch serving the meal to stand aside.
He personally held chopsticks, chopsticks, and kerchiefs to serve.
No one knows better than him what the emperor likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat.

Xie Ning waved his hand and let him go down.
The emperor was unhappy, Xie Ning could tell.
On such a day, the door and windows are still wide open to let in the wind, which shows that I am angry inside.
Xie Ning really didn't eat much at noon.
Now he accompanied the emperor, soaked half a bowl of rice in soup, and ate two small dumplings stuffed with three delicacies.
When the dining table was removed, the emperor's expression became calmer and more relaxed than before.
Xie Ning leaned on the soft couch with the emperor and asked softly: "The emperor seemed to be in a bad mood just now."
"Nothing."
The emperor gently stroked Xie Ning's half-covered long hair.
He likes Xie Ning's hair very much.
It is not sticky like other concubines who apply hair oil, perfume or the like.
After a while, the emperor said softly: "In my lifetime, I will definitely eliminate Yuan Hu's troubles."
Xie Ning raised his face and said, "Did envoy Yuan Hu be rude when he saw him and offended the emperor?"
The emperor sneered: "If I don't tell you, you will never guess what envoy Yuan Hu asked of me."
That must be too much to ask for.
Because Xie Ning has never seen the emperor so angry.
"The envoy dared to say that the son of Shannan Khan and my princess are similar in age.
If they can get married, Yuanhu and Xia Dynasty will definitely be more harmonious and friendly, and they will always be a brotherly country.
Xie Ning was furious: "Why do they dare to imagine that the princess is daydreaming?"
Although Princess Yuyao was not born to Xie Ning, she was raised by her side.
Xie Ning was not in a hurry when he heard that Yuan Hu people dared to think about getting the princess to marry him.
"The emperor didn't agree?"
"How could I agree?"
The emperor's anger was over, and now his voice was very calm: "Even the late emperor did not marry as a princess at that time, am I so incompetent that I have to give up my daughter as a bargaining chip?"
Xie Ning finally felt relieved: "I have made a mistake.
The emperor loves the princess so much, so naturally he will not agree to Yuan Hu's rude request."
Xie Ning understood the emperor's feelings.
With a father like the late Emperor who failed to live up to his expectations, the Emperor always looked upon the late Emperor as a mirror and always tried to do things right and better than the late Emperor.
Even if the late emperor was so stupid that he did not marry his own daughter, it was certainly impossible for the emperor to do so.
"What makes me even more angry is that the Yuanhu people are so rude, but I can't order them to be killed on the spot.
Instead, I consider the overall situation and give them rewards and order the Concierge Hospital to treat them well."
This made the emperor feel humiliated.
If the Xia Dynasty now has the strength to fight to determine the outcome, why would it be necessary to fight with Shannan Yuanhu Buxu and Yuanhu?
Today, the Yuanhu envoys and princes knew that the Xia Dynasty emperor needed them, so they dared to make bold and unreasonable thoughts.
"Don't be angry, Your Majesty.
It's not worth getting angry about such a thing, let alone tormenting yourself because of it.
They are crazy and greedy, and will eventually destroy themselves.
When the war starts, I don't know how many lives will be taken.
Your Majesty is kind and caring for the people, and you are not like those who only care about themselves.
A happy person."
Xie Ning's words spoke to the Emperor's heart.
But to be a wise king and a benevolent king, you often have to repress yourself.
"Come and see this."
There is a map in the study room of Changning Hall, which Xie Ning has seen before.
But when the eunuch opened the curtain, Xie Ning found that the picture on the wall was different from the last time she saw it.

The area to the northwest after exiting the customs is much more detailed than before, and some things that were not there before have been added.
There are mountains, rivers, and a walled city on top.
"This was all added bit by bit later."
The emperor stood beside her, holding Xie Ning in his arms, and the two of them stood quietly in front of the map that covered the whole wall.
"One day" The emperor didn't say what it would be like one day, but Xie Ning understood.
"Yes, one day."
Xie Ning has no doubt about this.
In her mind, as long as the emperor wants to do something, it can be done.
Yuan Hu's envoy stayed in the capital for less than ten days.
After the emperor summoned him twice, the envoy hurried back, but the little prince was left behind.
The Concierge House also arranged for someone to teach him how to read and write.
Although Xie Ning didn't meet anyone, he had a rough idea of Prince Yuanhu's appearance.
With that kind of virtue, he actually dares to dream of marrying the princess.
The emperor didn't eat much in the past two days.
Xie Ning also knew that this was due to the long days of hard work.
He was thinking that Director Li would come to check for pulse tomorrow and ask him to prescribe a prescription for the emperor to replenish his health.
In the middle of the night, it was dark in the tent.
Xie Ning suddenly woke up and reached out to touch something.
The person next to him was breathing rapidly and heavily, and his body was burning
