Xie Ning knelt all over the ground like everyone else.

In fact, when she was being pulled down by the palace maids beside her, she didn't know what was going on, but seeing everyone kneeling down, the eunuchs' foreheads were about to stick to the bluestone brick floor, she also knelt down slowly.

It took her about a while before she realized that the emperor was coming.

The emperor is here!

Xie Ning knelt honestly like the palace maids around him, and did not dare to look up.

She looked at the bluestone brick floor. Because people cleaned it hard every day, the floor was not dirty, but over time, moss marks would naturally be left in the cracks of the bricks, and dark greens spread across the cracks of the bricks, like a chessboard for playing Go.

Not only in the cracks of bricks, but also on the brick surfaces, there are scratches of pit dust after being used for a long time, and there are deep and shallow green inside.

Xie Ning was very attentive and happy to see it until a pair of black-edged golden dragon boots stopped in front of her and stepped on the stone bricks in front of her.

The boots are so embroidered! The dragon's eyes are vivid.

The emperor's boots are so clean. Not to mention the uppers, even the uppers are clean, without any gray shadows.

Xie Ning didn't think the emperor stopped because of himself.

She has been in the palace for two and a half years. Two years said that two years are not long, but for the women in the palace, they are already a new generation of new people and old people. Last month, a group of women were newly selected into the palace, and this group of them was already the last day.

The last time Xie Ning saw the emperor was when she entered the palace.

At that time, the emperor was personally selected, and she only saw the emperor's dragon robe. There were more than 30 beauties who entered the palace with her, and they all gave the title of Cairen. Among them, Liang Cairen was once lucky and was named Beauty. Li Cairen later came to Zhaorong and was named Zhaorong. Everyone was like Xie Ning, unknown and forgotten by everyone. Just like the flowers in this garden, they bloomed in spring and faded in autumn, but no one came to appreciate them.

Xie Ning didn't know why she heard of so many vicious and incredible things in the harem were all done by women, but now she gradually understood.

Without a solid heart, human nature will be slowly twisted and changed in such a day after day.

Sometimes Xie Ning really envies the palace maids around him. They have a chance to get promotion and salary increase, and they still have the chance to leave the palace at the age of 28.

"May I have your name?"

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment and heard the emperor say another sentence: "Raise your head and talk back and forth."

"I... Xie, a talented man from Yingxiang Pavilion, please help Your Majesty."

She is a fifth-rank talent in the harem of Emperor Yongkang of Xia Dynasty.

This is all the conversation between her and the emperor. Xie Ning was in a state of confusion from beginning to end. Even if the emperor asked her to look up, she had to lower her eyes and look directly at Long Yan, but she would be punished.

So, when the emperor and his group left and others were talking around her, Xie Ning was thinking in his heart that the face of the saint had been two times, but he still didn't know what the emperor looked like... Is this a blessing to see the beauty of heaven?

Don't joke. She doesn't even know the emperor's height, fatness, and thinness now, nor does she know what the emperor's eyebrows, eyes and nose look like.

In the face of imperial power, when the other party holds your life, death, honor and disgrace, and you are powerless to resist, it is important to save your life and live well.

Xie Ning looked at the messy faces surrounding her, some familiar and some very strange.

The emperor was so charming that he said something to himself, which made him look like a layer of gold in the eyes of these people, and everyone was fighting for it.

After returning to Yingxiang Pavilion, Xie Ning quickly sat down as soon as he entered the room and kicked off the shoes on his feet: "The shoes are too tight."

The two palace maids who served her quickly went to pick up the shoes: "You don't have this talent. New shoes are always more important, just wear them more."

"The feet tied up like pig's trotters..."

Although her voice was small, both palace maids heard it. Qinghe, the more mature among the two, said: "I'll borrow a last to hold on. It won't be tight if I hold on for two nights."

Xie Ning was thinking about what to eat at noon. People of her status cannot order food, so they can only eat according to the rules and eat whatever the kitchen gives. Of course, they are lucky when they meet someone who likes to eat, but the probability is not too high. Most of the time, the ones they send are still the kind that they don’t like to eat very much or don’t want to eat at all.

So the biggest achievement of Xie Ning's more than two years since she entered the palace was that she had a good relationship with the people in the kitchen. She was not very good at cooking herself, but she had read a lot of food record recipes before. However, because of this, she became familiar with the people in the kitchen, and she could get some things she likes and wants from time to time.

Just like the desserts placed in the house now, there are no osmanthus, sesame oil, lard and other things inside, and there are a little sugar. The crust tastes crispy and the filling is refreshing, and it is really not greasy at all.

Is it good to eat steamed dishes for lunch? The steamed dishes are hot, soft and tender. Drop a few drops of chili oil and pour some garlic, and she will definitely be able to kill two bowls.

Of course, this bowl is not a sea bowl, it is just a little bigger than a tea bowl.

After Xie Ning finished planning this, he found that the two palace maids in her room - Qinghe and Qingmei were a little dazed. One was holding a rag and repeatedly rubbing on the corner of the table, but he didn't know how to change the place. The other was sitting next to the door sewing a purse, but it seemed that the efficiency was far less than usual.

Before Xie Ning could call Qinghe to the kitchen, someone entered the yard.

There were three people living in Yingxiang Pavilion, except Xie Ning himself, one of them was Liu Cairen, and the other one didn't even know her surname. After a few days of living in, a cold was killed.

Liu Cairen thought Yingxiang Pavilion was too desolate and remote, so he asked someone to change the place to live, and only Xie Ning himself was left here. He originally said that he would move people in again, but he had been delayed for a year or two but still had not moved in.

Xie Ning thought this was good and quiet. When Liu Cairen was still there, Xie Ning was actually a little afraid of her. Because Liu Cairen's eyes were as sharp as a knife, either staring at people or things. Xie Ning felt furious in her heart. She didn't know what she was thinking about. She could not speak without saying anything with her, for fear of being caught if she said something wrong.

Therefore, few people come to Yingxiang Pavilion in normal times, let alone the people who come here have different identities.

Qinghe was stunned when she glanced at her and hurriedly greeted her and greeted her.

Xie Ning also slowly stood up.

The person who came was an eunuch, about thirty years old, wearing a robe with green leaves and a tunic. He was tidy and neat.

Xie Ning slowly found this person from his memory. Fortunately, he was very kind-faced, his facial features were very straight, and there seemed to be a smile on the corners of his mouth, which made people feel good when they saw him.

This person cannot be offended, Yingxiang Pavilion belongs to Houyuan, who is Zhou Bingchen, the deputy director of Houyuan.

This person doesn't say that he has the power of life and death, but he must not offend him. A eunuch with real power and with low-level and unpopularity will know who is better as long as he is not a fool.

"Eunuch Zhou is polite." Xie Ning greeted politely.

"You don't have to be polite to thank the talented people." Zhou Bingchen smiled: "The talented people are very happy, our family congratulates the talented people."

Xie Ning was stunned for a moment, but Qinghe immediately reacted, and a smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she said happily: "Eunuch Xie Zhou has been taking care of our Yingxiang Pavilion. Even if a talented man is grateful for the holy grace, he will never forget his father-in-law's care."

Xie Ning was a beat slower than Qinghe, and just understood what Zhou Bingchen said.

This joy may only mean one thing.

That is what Qinghe said, to be grateful to the holy grace. In simpler and more straightforward words, it is: the emperor wants to sleep with her!

Qinghe was anxious when she saw her talented man's stupid look. How could Eunuch Zhou be so sluggish?

Zhou Bingchen smiled and didn't care. Who in the harem is not looking forward to the holy favor day and night? Once the wish is fulfilled, there are all kinds of reactions. Zhou Bingchen has seen many of them, and there are also people who are more disobedient than Xie Cairen, and some are talking nonsense and fainting on the spot. This stupidity is nothing.

"After a palace monk came to dress up and take care of Xie Cairen and explained how to serve the emperor. Cairen just did what they said."

Xie Ning finally recovered. Qinghe had already wisely brought a heavy purse and handed it to Zhou Bingchen respectfully. He said in a more polite attitude than before: "Thank you, my father-in-law, for always giving Zhou Quan some talent. Please don't dislike me."

Of course, Zhou Bingchen didn't dislike him.

It’s not that he loves money so much that the meat on mosquito’s legs is about to be chopped off. With his status, money is no longer the most tight thing.

Xie Cairen has been in the palace for almost three years and is not favored. Although he has the reputation of a talented man, the little money in his hand is enough for her to live by herself, not much better than the palace maid. What she took out could not be a generous gift. The reason why Zhou Bingchen accepted it with a smile was to show an attitude.

After collecting the money, everyone's relationship will be closer and it will be easier to deal with it in the future. If you refuse to accept it, it will make people feel panic-in uneasy.
