I heard that Shufei had invited more than a dozen guests at her birthday banquet. Xie Ning was not the one who was at the bottom, nor was she considered the best.

Qinghe got up early and tried to dress up Xie Ning.

If only looking at the faces of the two, Xie Ning's face was pink and his lips were like petals. He could tell at first glance that he would sleep well at night. However, Qinghe's face turned yellow, looked very dull, and her eyes were a little swollen. She obviously didn't sleep well overnight.

Those who don’t know can’t guess which of them is going to go to this birthday party today.

"This is the first time I have returned to Yanning Palace. You can't be careless when wearing this dress, as others will make you laugh at me."

Xie Ning just smiled: "I heard that among the people who went today, Meiren Liang and I were really not of the same grade as me. If I dressed so eye-catchingly, others would be even more laughable."

When Qinghe heard this, the master said this, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

This is because of the lack of shame in dressing, which makes the master lose his dignity. This is the first time that he cannot show his timidity in front of everyone, otherwise those people will definitely not take the master seriously in the future, and they don’t know how to arrange it behind their backs.

But the master is right. After all, the beauty is not up or down in the palace. Today, the nobles are Jieyu, Zhaorong, and Shuyuan. The ranks of these nobles are above their masters, so they can't wear them too eye-catching.

Seeing her in a dilemma, Xie Ning knew that she was planning to think about it for herself, so she picked up a step and shook it on her temples and gestured: "You don't have to think so much. What do I wear when I meet guests, and what are I still wearing today. Concubine Shu is the birthday star today. I guess, the guests invited must be dressed in a regular manner, but they will not overestimate the guests.

Qinghe now understood and dressed up for Xie Ning quickly.

"Are the gift ready?"

"It's already installed."

The last time Chen Jieyu gave her a Tingfeng bottle on her birthday, this time, Shufei's birthday was not too perfunctory. Xie Ning searched in his box and found a jade bonsai. The materials were not expensive, but they looked unique and exquisite, and it was a decorative piece that could be taken advantage of. A single piece was afraid that it would not look good, so he found a pair of cedar white river maps to get together.

Xie Ning was dressed up, Qingmei came in outside and reported: "My beauty is here."

Xie Ning said: "Come in quickly."

Meiren Liang also received an invitation, and today they agreed to go to the meeting together.

It’s not that they have a very good relationship these days, but that there are so many people in the back garden, and only the two of them have posts. No matter how they say they can be a companion, they will not be alone and there is no one to talk.

When Qinghe saw Meiren Liang, she knew that her master was right.

Beauty Liang's clothes are also pretty well-designed and not very outstanding.

Qinghe trance remembered that this was not the case when Meiren Liang was favored. At that time, she seemed to be in a gust of wind when she walked, her chin slightly raised and her steps were light. I remember a sentence from whom I didn’t know who said that the emperor once praised Meiren Liang for her slim figure, just like "Liang Shangyan."

Now Meiren Liang is almost forgotten by people. Qinghe and the others have secretly guessed that Meiren Liang might have angered the emperor because of something, otherwise how could she fall out of favor so quickly? The emperor seemed to have forgotten all this person and never summoned her again.

Xie Ning stood up and greeted him: "Sister Liang came so early."

Beauty Liang looked at Xie Ning's clothes without a trace. The pink shirt was covered with a mandarin duck skirt from Shui Wai. Many people in the palace have worn this skirt this year. Beauty Liang never likes to wear the same clothes as others. She feels that those people are rushing to dress up and wear the same clothes, vulgar and ignorant. But now looking at Xie Ning, she suddenly feels that she has thought it wrong in the past and done it wrong.

In the past, she always showed that she was not the same as others, and that no one complained about her "pretending to be noble", but she felt that it was her noble character and uniqueness.

Too jealous.

It was because others saw this characteristic that they knocked her to the ground with just one move.

It's too late for her to regret it now, and the emperor probably doesn't remember her anymore.

When she received the post from Concubine Shu, Meiren Liang was still wondering whether she would meet the emperor at Concubine Shu?

This thought made her feel ache and another heat.

She hopes to have a chance to see the emperor again, admit her mistakes to him, and ask him to forgive her young and energetic mistakes.

It was still early now, and the two sat down and talked for a while. Meiren Liang asked her what gift she planned to give and took out the gift she had prepared for Xie Ning to show.

Beauty Liang prepared a very exquisite embroidery screen with peach blossoms, lotus flowers, chrysanthemums and plum blossoms embroidered on it.

"Is this embroidery drawn by my sister himself?"

Meiren Liang smiled and said, "I am idle when I am idle, so I can just paint a few strokes at will. This is embroidered by Niang Wan from the Needle Bureau. Thanks to her exquisite craftsmanship, she didn't draw very well, and she could see through it."

It’s more than just a good look. Compared with this embroidered screen, Xie Ning’s bonsai seems to be insincere enough.

This gift cannot be prepared in three or two days. It must be prepared one or two months in advance. It takes several days to draw the painting and embroider it. Then the outer frame of the screen frame is made to frame the embroidery drawings.

But Concubine Shu posted this for the past few days. I wonder if Meiren Liang had prepared this gift for Concubine Shu’s birthday early in the morning.

Compared with others, Xie Ning felt that his life was too terrible.

Seeing that the time was almost the same, Xie Ning and Meiren Liang set out for Yanning Palace together.

This is Xie Ning's first time, and it is not the first time that Meiren Liang has come.

Yanning Palace is very spacious, but it does not look particularly gorgeous. The courtyard is clean and spotless. The eunuchs and palace servants are all dressed up and their faces are full of joy.

When the master celebrated his birthday, they received a reward. Each person wore a new set of clothes. This month, Concubine Shu rewarded them with double monthly payments. I heard that they would also add food to them today.

Xie Ning was secretly ashamed. She had celebrated her birthday, but she didn't dare to compete with Concubine Shu. When she celebrated her birthday this year, she was still a talented person. She couldn't afford to give each person a piece of clothing, but everyone in her yard gave a reward, and that day she also added vegetables to the palace servants in Yingxiang Pavilion.

It seems that the people who serve Shufei are also very expensive to celebrate her birthday.

The palace servants led Xie Ning and Liang Mei into the main hall to sit. The underground of the hall was covered with crimson-red carpet embroidered with five-color peonies. The wealth and grandeur revealed by this carpet was already awesome.

Several guests had already arrived, but Xie Ning only recognized two or three people. In addition to Li Zhaorong and Chen Jieyu, there was also one that Gao Jieyu had seen before. Gao Jieyu was very plump, with fair skin and plump body, like a noisy white steamed bun just out of the cage. They came early and were sitting together to taste tea and talk.

The palace servant led Xie Ning and Liang Meiren to the seat. Today, the seats were arranged in a scattered fan shape, and Xie Ning and Liang Meiren's position was at the right side.

Xie Ning knew the location today, so she had planned to go through the motions, and Meiren Liang sat down next to her. At this moment, both of them thought in their hearts. Fortunately, they came with others, otherwise they would have been sitting alone in a corner and not even a person to talk to on the left and right. That would be embarrassing.
