One hundred and seventy one surprise
If Bai Hongqi can use the word "seeing a guest", he must have come not the royal family, but probably the first-class person among the nobles. But no matter what, Xie Ning should not have entered.
She went into the West Side Hall to rest. Bai Hongqi looked at her and saw that she was not proud of her appearance, but still everything was as usual.
"The Empress is suffering today."
Xie Ning smiled and said, "I am so tired, I am afraid that everyone in the palace wants to suffer."
Bai Hongqi also smiled. I really couldn't tell how much of the matter was hidden in her heart from the face of the imperial concubine. She just held down the auspicious matter and didn't say anything. If it were someone who was so sophisticated, Bai Hongqi wouldn't be surprised, but the imperial concubine was less than 20 years old and had a smooth journey. It was surprising that she was so calm.
The emperor used to not like to go to the harem. If he remembered any beauty, he would probably have summoned him to Changning Palace. This habit has been several years, but it has been a failure since the imperial concubine. After counting in the past six months, more than half of his children would have lived in the harem. Of course, it would not be anywhere else, but Yong'an Palace.
Bai Hongqi told someone to serve tea and said a few more words to Xie Ning. However, Xie Ning urged him to go out: "Eunuch Bai has something to do and just go and do it. I won't be bored here."
Bai Hongqi was guilty and went out, and his etiquette seemed much more comprehensive than before. But before Xie Ning had a sip of tea, he came in again: "The emperor asked the empress to go to the study."
Xie Ning's legs became weak when he got up and almost couldn't stand firm. Fortunately, he held the handle of the chair. Bai Hongqi wanted to reach out to help him, but when he saw that she had stood firm, he pretended not to see it, so as to save her from being embarrassed.
What else can this happen? You must be tired. If you enjoy more honor than others, you will be destined to be more tired than others.
Others saw that the emperor was the true dragon emperor, but they didn’t know how happy it was to sit on the dragon throne. Bai Hongqi served the emperor for many years, but he knew how difficult it was for the emperor. I won’t say it before ascending the throne. Even after ascending the throne, how many times will the emperor be really happy?
Xie Ning came to Changning Palace and became familiar with each other. When she entered the house, she saw an untied tea cup next to the chair against the east wall. I guess she had just left when the emperor talked to him, so the eunuch didn't have time to clean up the place.
As soon as Xie Ning entered the door, the emperor smiled and said, "The Imperial Concubine is here."
Xie Ning held back his smile and said, "Your Majesty, don't make fun of others. I have to thank the dishes I admire. The sea bass and white jade shrimp tasted very refreshing, and I and a few children all enjoyed it."
The emperor smiled, but the smile was not for her, but passed her and looked at the position behind her.
Xie Ning turned around and looked. Sure enough, someone stood behind her, silent and didn't know how long she had been standing.
Xie Ning showed a surprised expression on his face, an unbelievable and ecstatic expression. He opened his mouth halfway for a while before calling out: "Uncle?"
The man standing behind him was wearing a blue sixth-rank official costume, which was darker and thinner than Xie Ning remembered, and his eyes were full of smiles. Although he was still in his thirties, he was laughing like a big child. Xie Ning was close to his uncle, because his uncle said he was an elder, but he was very cute and like a peer when he got along, and because his uncle had a bit of a similarity with his deceased biological mother and sister. At this moment, he suddenly saw his relatives appear in front of him. Xie Ning was as sad and joyful as a smile on his lips, but his tears fell down like beads with broken threads.
"Look, why are you crying?" Lin Jiyun said in a light voice: "It's a bit older. I remember that you only reached my chest when I went out that year, but now it's all on my shoulders. I heard that today is your good day, so I rushed into the palace, but it's not here to make you cry."
Xie Ning quickly raised his hand to wipe his face, and he couldn't even remember to take out the veil for a moment.
"When did my uncle come? Why didn't there be any sound? It was scary." She looked at the emperor and then looked at the tea bowl that had been half drunk: "Did you just now in the study..."
Lin Jiyun smiled and said, "I'm here just now. I heard from Eunuch Bai that you can't come to avoid suspicion, so the emperor specifically asked you to come over and meet."
"But Eunuch Bai didn't tell me that the person who came to me was you." If I had known that she wouldn't have come here early, why would she have gone to the West Side Hall to do?
Xie Ning understood that these people had colluded and were just waiting to see him make a joke.
I am so embarrassed, whether it is the emperor, Bai Hongqi, or his uncle. He has been over 100 years old in total, and he is still so stubborn. Of course, although Bai Hongqi is also wrong, the mastermind is not stubborn. Although the emperor usually jokes by chance, it is the emperor who wants to respect his identity after all. The big naughty boy Lin Jiyun who can come up with such bad ideas must be the one who breaks out.
But when she looked at Lin Jiyun, she couldn't get angry, and she felt ridiculous.
Lin Jiyun saw Xie Ning through the window when she entered Changning Hall. If he hadn't known that this was his niece, he wouldn't dare to recognize each other for a while. Through the carved window frame, a lady from the sedan chair got out of the sedan chair and followed the eunuch who led the way into the palace gate. When she entered the west side hall, Lin Jiyun kept staring at her without even blinking.
Really, it's really been a long time since she met. She has been in the Lin family since she was a little bit old. Lin Jiyun was so angry about her sister's experience. Although his brother had already gone to the Xie family to seek justice, he also secretly struggled with a group of playmates to kill the second and third brothers of the Xie family. Xie Er was greedy for money and seeking small profits. The two of them had a bad habit. The Xie family was only good at his brother-in-law and Mr. Xie, but these two good people died early and left behind a bunch of incompetent things.
Xie Ning wiped his face clean. Anyway, there were no outsiders on the scene, and he didn't feel embarrassed. He stretched out his hand and said, "Since he said he was here to congratulate me, where is the gift?"
Lin Jiyun smiled and said, "The gift is too big. I didn't bring it to the palace today. Let's talk about it another day."
I also bring this kind of thing, and I say, "Who knows which day will change?"
However, after saying this, Xie Ning became curious. I wonder what kind of gift this too big gift was?
The emperor smiled and said, "As soon as you meet, you keep me aside. Ji Yun rarely returns to Beijing, so I don't have to leave quickly. I have a lot to ask you. Bai Hongqi, let the kitchen be well adjusted. Today I am very happy and I have to drink two drinks with Ji Yun."
According to the national law, Lin Jiyun is a sixth-rank official of the emperor, and it is obviously a disrespectful person at the moment. If it is based on human nature, although Lin Jiyun is one or two years younger than the emperor, he is Xie Ning's uncle and a generation higher than the emperor. However, the account of this title cannot be calculated in detail, and it will be confused if the emperor calls him a little. The emperor seems to be close to him by his name. Xie Ning doesn't think there is anything wrong with this. The kitchen has indeed put in effort to clean up the table. In fact, it doesn't have to put in full force to fill the table with delicacies. The jinding and silver plates are called hospitality. There are only seven or eight dishes for dinner, and it is enough for three people to use. There are also wine, but Xie Ning knows that it is not the wine in the palace, and the aroma is wrong. The wine smells very strong.
Lin Jiyun didn't plan to drink the wine for Xie Ning, so he waved his hand and said, "You can drink whatever you want. This wine is something that a man can drink, you can't drink it."
Xie Ning glanced at him.
The emperor smiled and looked at him.
When Xie Ning saw his relatives, it was different, even his eyebrows, eyes and expressions were different from usual.
When Mrs. Lin was there, she looked very cute and cute, and she liked to act coquettishly in front of her aunt who raised her since childhood. However, Mrs. Lin was square and strict in charge, so Xie Ning seemed more agile in front of her uncle.
Since there are only his own people, Xie Ning spoke more casually: "When will my uncle arrive in Beijing? Where did he call him? Is there anyone else at home coming to Beijing?"
The family she mentioned obviously did not refer to the Xie family, but to the Lin family. She grew up in the Lin family since she was young, and the Lin family was a family in her opinion, and the Xie family was just a troublesome relative.
"I am the only one here for the time being, but don't worry, your uncle will also come to Beijing soon, and the family may live in Beijing for a long time."
Another good news, Xie Ning was surprised and happy, turned to look at the emperor, and the emperor nodded slightly to her, proving that what Lin Jiyun said was true.
My uncle has been in office for three years. If he gets the exam, it will be no fantasy. Moreover, my uncle has been in office for several years, which is considered a smart and good deed. If he wants to be transferred to Beijing, it will not be impossible.
Besides, the people sitting in Changning Hall now say yes, then that's right.
The unexpected joy made Xie Ning's appetite so good that she tasted very good. In fact, she didn't eat much in the day. Now she is in a happy mood when she is happy, and she likes everything she eats and enjoys everything she eats.
Seeing that she had eaten two large pieces of crystal duck meat in a row, Lin Jiyun couldn't help but turn to the emperor and said, "I have something unknown... I would like to ask the emperor, if the imperial concubine had always eaten this way, the dietary consumption of the harem would probably be excessive."
Xie Ning also had a piece of duck meat in his mouth, and he didn't swallow it or swallow it.
What uncle does this even think she has eaten too much?
The emperor held back his laughter and finally did not add fuel to the fire, and signaled Bai Hongqi to prepare vegetables for Lin Jiyun. Bai Hongqi rolled up his sleeves and scooped a spoonful of fish fillets for Lin Jiyun. The fish fillet was soft and tender. If you used chopsticks to pick it up, the fish fillet would be smooth and unbearable. If you picked it up, the fish fillet would be broken if it was heavy.
Lin Jiyun smiled and said, "Thank you, my father-in-law. Actually, I don't use others to serve you. It's even more delicious to eat with you." Bai Hongqi took a step back and stood behind the emperor with a smile.
Where Lin Jiyun is there, there will be no dismal situations. He will talk about his experiences on the road, talk about one or two new things that are rarely heard by others, and the meal is lively.
Xie Ning had a lot to ask, his uncle was too cunning. Xie Ning asked him so many questions, but when he thought about it carefully, he answered a few questions. The others were either confused or answered questions that were not answered.
I don’t know where he has been to the past few months, but in short, he will never stay at home honestly.
