twenty-one mid-autumn

August 15th, Mid-Autumn Festival.

This day, Yingxiang Pavilion was full of fun, of course, not because of the festival. There will be any year in mid-autumn, but the good things of promotion cannot be encountered every year.

Xie Ning's grade was upgraded to the next level, and now she is a fifth-grade beauty.

But Xie Ning himself always felt not so happy.

In the past, whether it was Qinghe or Qingmei or other people who came and talked about her, she would call her "Xie Cairen". She was already used to it and almost thought that she had the surname Xie Ning, but the emperor gave her the name and changed her name.

Will others call her "Greeting Beauty" in the future?

I feel a little too embarrassing to be called by other people's beauties, and I can't bear to listen.

She knew in her heart that this was just a grade title, just like the talented people in the past, not the same as the meaning of "beauty". But even though she understood it, it still sounded awkward.

When she was called a talented person, she once thought that she was not talented. Now she was going to be called a beauty. She even wanted to cover her face and tell everyone that she was not beautiful.

It is a good thing to be promoted. The grade is higher and the annual salary is longer. On the surface, these are the benefits.

But everyone knows that the benefits are not just these.

After the order was given, the low-grade talented girls living in the back garden came to congratulate.

Liu Cairen gave a jade bracelet to congratulate him.

Xie Ning didn't look good when he saw the gift.

She had seen Liu Cairen's jade bracelet for a long time. When he first entered the palace, no one had passed the last level of the emperor's choice, and of course he did not have their own titles. Liu Cairen was called Liu Yuhua at that time.

She was very fond of this jade bracelet. She said that it was because she wanted to enter the palace, and her grandmother took it out from the bottom of the box to her, saying that it had been passed down for several generations, and could only pass it to her daughter-in-law, and would not give her a married daughter. But Liu Yuhua was different. She could enter the palace and might become the most promising person in the Liu family.

But now Liu Cairen gave this bracelet as a gift to congratulate her on promotion.

I don’t know what she thought when she put the bracelet in the gift box, but Xie Ning felt that the bracelet was too hot.

She really didn't want to answer.

But she couldn't return the bracelet to Liu Cairen.

"Master, how to deal with this?"

Qinghe has always been careful, and she soon discovered that her master was not used to being called a beauty, but most of it was not used to it. So she was very smart and didn't change the name of a beauty now.

"Put it away."

"yes."

Judging from the master's expression, she would not want to see this bracelet again in the future.

The next gift surprised Xie Ning again.

This is also an ornament, a gold-straw shaking stone inlaid with gems.

Who gave this?

Xie Ning picked up the post pressed under the gift box and gently opened it.

"Zhao Ling, Wang Moyan congratulates you."

Both names are very strange and she probably hasn't heard of them before.

Today, many people came to congratulate, some did not come by the person who gave gifts, or did not come by the person who came but did not come by.

Qinghe must be clearer about these things than Xie Ning.

Qinghe whispered: "The two people who came were from the Jiaofangsi. They left after they delivered the things. I didn't want to accept them either. It was because there were so many people at that time that they didn't have time to say more."

The day is messy enough.

"Do you remember what the gift-giver looks like?"

"Remember, a man and a woman. The woman's face was a little hurt, and it didn't cover it tightly after applying powder."

Xie Ning knows who it is.

In fact, she didn't help much about the matter that day, it was all about Xiao Ye's father-in-law selling favors.

As a result, they still wanted to give her a gift.

Liu Cairen has always wanted to win the favor and took care of people everywhere. Even if she had some savings in her hands, she wouldn't have anything left now. If she had anything better, she wouldn't have given this bracelet as a gift to her.

Xie Ning felt that the gifts given by the two people from Jiaofangsi were even more uneasy, especially because she knew that these two people should be a cheap family, and she didn't know how difficult life was, and she didn't know what origins this buyao were. For Xie Ning, this was just an icing on the cake and was optional. But for them, it might be a property that had been accumulated for a long time.

Accepting these made Xie Ning feel very uneasy.

She is quite familiar with these two gifts. In addition, there is also a sad secret behind those gifts?

After all, today is her good day and the annual Mid-Autumn Festival. Xie Ning put aside all these chaotic thoughts and discussed with Qinghe how to celebrate the festival at night.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is also called the Reunion Festival. A poet wrote this way, and he thought about his family during the festival.

The moon becomes bright and complete again every month, but people cannot be like the moon.

It has been three years since he entered the palace, and Xie Ning has never seen his relatives again.

Not only her, but everyone else in the palace is the same. Like Qinghe, she entered the palace much earlier than Xie Ning. After leaving for many years, she could not see her relatives, and she didn't even know the news about her hometown.

The so-called reunion festival may indeed be a reunion festival for people outside the palace walls.

But to the people inside the palace wall, the word reunion sounds really ironic.

Whether it is reunion or irony, life still has to go on. One day, one year, and a lifetime.

Today, when Xie Ning was on the verge of the festival, the people serving in the yard gathered together, led by Qinghe, and saluted Xie Ning. Xie Ning wore a brightly-colored dress, smiled and stood up, and then everyone was rewarded.

This time, everyone was naturally happy. Without reunion, there was some money to comfort me.

Xie Ning did not invite anyone else to the evening, and he did not plan to invite anyone else.

Although she was promoted to the first level during the festival according to the old rules, it didn't seem very abrupt, but this time she was the only one who promoted her, which was not right.

From the New Year to the middle of the autumn, she has been favored for more than half a year. Those without grades are looking forward to being crowned, and those with grades are looking forward to being promoted again. Talented people want to be promoted to beauty, Concubine Jie wants to be promoted to concubine, concubines... maybe even more hope to be able to go further.

After all, there is no queen in the harem, who doesn’t expect to be the golden carp that jumped through the dragon gate?

However, this time only Xie Ning was promoted.

Doesn’t this mean that she is the leader in the emperor’s heart? Only she is the only one who stands out, and the harem sisters are all silenced.

What is the target of public criticism? What is the need to worry about lack of people but not to be uneven?

What Xie Ning wants the least now is to show off, and what he needs most is to act low-key. It is best for everyone to quickly turn their eyes away from Yingxiang Pavilion.

Qinghe received some news from other channels, saying that because of the flood this summer, the emperor even canceled the autumn hunting, and of course there will be no more rewards in the harem.

Xie Ning understands all these. But either they don’t seal them. What’s the point of just sealing one? Xie Ning is really afraid of being eaten alive.

Because I was in a bad mood, it might be boring to celebrate the reunion festival alone. Xie Ning only ate half a piece of mooncake and didn't move a few bites of the dishes. He went to bed early to rest.

The next day, Yingxiang Pavilion was still coming and going. Early in the morning, Zhou Gonggong Zhou Bingchen came. The meaning inside and outside was that Yingxiang Pavilion was remote and the palace had not been repaired for several years. There are many better palace courtyards in the back garden, with large places and more elegant halls. If Mei Meiren Xie was interested, she could choose one of them and move them to live there.

Zhou Bingchen is the deputy chief of Houyuan. He finally caught a favored seedling, so he naturally did not want to let her run away. If the emperor intends to change the place for Meiren Xie, Zhou Bingchen would of course not dare to say anything. But if Meiren Xie is not satisfied with her current residence, it is that Zhou Bingchen is not attentive to serve her.

"Thank you, Eunuch Zhou, for thinking, but I'm used to living here, so I'm afraid I can't sleep after changing places."

Zhou Bingchen can no longer observe and look at the beautiful lady Xie as he used to. However, he can still tell whether the beautiful lady Xie said true or false.

It seems that she really doesn't want to move, and she is not waiting for anyone to come and ask Mao Lu again and again.

After leaving Yingxiang Pavilion, Zhou Bingchen pinched the purse in his sleeve.

The stuff in the purse was the same as when he first came to spread good news.

Xie Meiren is really a wonderful person.

That time he didn't like this little money, and after he came out, he directly rewarded it to the eunuch.
