It is said that the queen first promoted Shi Shunyi because her face and body look like she has many children and good fortune and is happy to give birth. Shi Shunyi is indeed not beautiful, and she even looks a little dull, thick lips, slightly small eyes, wearing a palace outfit with a paulownia green dress, with a two-color cherry-colored skirt, not to mention how old-fashioned and bloated.

According to Meiren Liang's temper, she looked down on someone like Shi Shunyi the most. She was so sad and dull, let alone her humble background. She was just a maid serving the queen back then. Meiren Liang now is not like before. She knows that her temper was not likable in the past, and even if she squeezed her hard, she had to smile on her face.

Shi Shunyi's position is ahead of them, and it is obvious that his position is higher than that of them, but he is also a position to go aside.

Xie Ning looked at him and wanted to laugh.

The position of Shufei is really particular. The guests invited are divided into different levels according to the grade, which is very good. For example, Xie Ning, who has a low grade and has just been awarded the title. It can be said that among the people invited today, she is the one with the least qualifications, so she sat in the back and the side position.

From this perspective, she was being treated too slowly. If Xie Ning was more arrogant and relied on her favor, she would go to the emperor to appeal, and she would not be able to get a good deal from the emperor.

The superiors and subordinates must not be confused. Even the emperor cannot tell her fault if Concubine Shu arranges this way. Instead, Xie Ning is likely to be charged with being arrogant.

I don’t know if this concubine Shu is really a person who follows the rules and regulations of the palace, or if she has other plans.

Although Chen Jieyu did not come to talk to Xie Ning, she and Gao Jieyu got together and whispered from time to time. The two of them even turned back to see Xie Ning. No matter how they looked, they seemed to be making fun of her.

Xie Ning was not anxious or impatient. When they turned to look at each other again, they simply bent their lips and smiled and nodded.

The two who were watching her were caught.

Chen Jieyu was stunned for a moment, and the expression on her face froze. Her eyebrows were raised and her lips were flattened, and the despicable and sarcasm was settled there. After all, Gao Jieyu had never had a direct conflict with Xie Ning. As the saying goes, raising his hand will not hit people with smiles. Seeing others smiling and greeting, Gao Jieyu smiled back habitually.

After laughing, she realized that the current situation was really not suitable for greeting her. She quickly turned her face away. She used too much force, and the beads and tassels that were swaying on her head were thrown up, almost tangled with her hair.

Therefore, Xie Ning doesn't like to interfere in Bu Yao, but he thinks it is inconvenient. He has to maintain stability at all times. People must be honest and steady, otherwise they will easily make a fool of themselves.

After such a smile, the two of them finally stopped reviewing it frequently. You should know that although the small movements they just now were not painful or itchy, they were buzzing like flies, which really made people feel a little upset.

Shi Shunyi, who was sitting in front of him, seemed to be inadvertently turning her head to look here, and then quickly turned her head.

The guests were almost here, and the long table against the wall was already filled with gifts from everyone. The jade bonsai was sandwiched among a bunch of gifts, which was neither eye-catching nor shabby. The embroidered screen given by Mei Ren Liang was very delicate, but it was a little smaller and placed in the back. The middle position was a red coral tree about one foot tall, which was a generous gift, and was sent by Concubine Xian.

The reason why Concubine Xian was so polite that no one in the palace knew. As the weather turned cold, Concubine Xian suffered from cough and asthma again and could not leave the house at all.

Concubine Shu finally showed up. She was dressed in a gorgeous palace outfit, like a golden red phoenix flying into the main hall.

Everyone stood up and saluted Concubine Shu to greet him. Concubine Shu smiled and said, "Don't be too polite. Actually, I really don't love this birthday. When I was a child, I regarded it as the New Year, because I had birthday noodles and politeness to accept. But at this age, I reminded myself to be one year older once in a birthday. Oh, I feel so sad to think about it."

Of course, Concubine Shu was joking. She looked natural and didn't look old at all. Standing with Shi Shunyi, Concubine Gao and others, anyone would think Concubine Shu was much younger than the two of them, but Concubine Shu was two years older than Concubine Gao and Concubine Gao.

Concubine Gao smiled and continued: "Where is Empress Shu? I look at you and the first time I saw you when I first came to the royal palace."

"It's said it was a birthday, but in fact it was just a reason for everyone to gather together, sit down and have a bite of tea, and talk to you very much. If you want to treat a guest, you will definitely not be able to come so well. It's a pity that Concubine Xian can't come, which is a pity that the sister of Concubine Xian can't come."

"When I saw Concubine Xian last time, I looked fine, but the wind was very cold recently. I heard that Qingyun Palace hired an imperial physician and decocted medicine in the past two days, so it was really not easy to care. It seems that Concubine Xian is very sick this time."

There is no such thing as Xie Ning and the others in this situation, just listen honestly.

Xie Ning felt that when these people mentioned the Virtue, there was always a kind of unconcealable gloom in it. They seemed to be regretting her, but they were trying to talk about her illness to the point of being seriously ill, which was not like they were sincerely doing good for her.

This should not be surprising. The women in the harem were as warm as sisters when they met. In fact, they wanted to swallow the other party alive.

As she was talking, Xie Ning noticed someone coming in from outside.

A middle-aged Shanggong with a bun in his arms was bent over, carefully supporting a child who was about two or three years old and walked over the high door hurdle.

As soon as Concubine Shu saw them, the smile on her face suddenly became gentler: "Yaoer, come to her mother's place soon."

It turns out that this is Princess Yuyao.

Xie Ning had heard of her, but this was the first time he saw her.

But she remembered that Princess Yuyao seemed to be five years old? This child didn't look that big.

Mostly the rumors are wrong.

Princess Yuyao is so beautiful. She is wearing a red satin dress and her hair is shaved. She has a small piece on her forehead, tied with a silk flower, looking like a chicken feather key on her naked head. Her big eyes are like grapes, making her look cute.

Xie Ning had never seen such a young child since he entered the palace, and he couldn't bear to pull it out of his eyes at this glance.

When Meiren Liang turned her head, she noticed her expression.

Seeing Meiren Xie’s look of unwillingness to blink, she must be very envious.

Why doesn’t Meiren Liang envy her? She wants to have a child too much, so it’s better to be a prince or a princess. As long as she has a child, the emperor will not completely neglect her like this. With a child, she will always have a support for the rest of her life.

The prince has few descendants, and there are only one son alive so far, but there are two princesses. In addition to Princess Yuyao, there is also a younger princess who has not been officially named yet.

As for others, they either failed to get pregnant but failed to get pregnant or failed to get raised.

The emperor has so many women, and all the people sitting in the room are sitting. But there are so few children.

Xie Ning didn't know whether to sympathize with the emperor or sympathize with himself first.

The kindness and tenderness that Shufei's faced her daughter's beating was completely different from her polite enthusiasm for facing these guests today.

Xie Ning could see how much she cared about her daughter. After saying a few words, he ordered Shanggong to take her back to his house to rest, and told Shanggong not to let her freeze and not to let her eat randomly. The words were a lot and trivial.

Princess Yuyao came and went in a hurry, and only showed her face and left again.

Before the banquet, Eunuch Bai came and brought the emperor's reward. When Eunuch Bai left, everyone raised their glasses to celebrate the birthday of today. Concubine Shu smiled and drank a cup, raised her hand and said, "Come on, don't be polite. I have to eat a bowl of birthday noodles to leave today."

Of course, there is more than just a birthday noodles on the table.

After eating two bites of vegetarian fruit, Xie Ning put down his chopsticks and focused on appreciating the singing and dancing in front of the table.

Sitting in the corner has this benefit, and it is quite comfortable.

Meiren Liang didn't eat anything. The people on the observation table looked at each other, as if they were picking for something.

Thinking of the last time she asked herself to enjoy the flowers, Xie Ning thought that she was probably looking for an opportunity.

The opportunity to get her back to the emperor.

Maybe one of the people sitting in the hall today is willing to help her, of course this help will not be free.

A woman holding a pipa walked in gracefully.

Xie Ning recognized her.

It was Zhao Ling, the woman who was taken down by Su Huai's door. Not long ago, when Xie Ning was awarded a title, she even gave a gift.

She was dressed up like the first time she was at Anxi Bridge Pavilion. That time she wore a dark red dress and looked particularly charming at night. But today she was wearing a blue dress, wrapped from her neck down, and looked like a stereotyped old Shanggong.

She saluted and sat on the round stool, plucking the piano and tuning the strings, and the music of the dinging cong cong flowed out from her fingertips like a natural sound.

I heard it again, but I still felt that the sound of her pipa was particularly beautiful.

Unfortunately, others are not interested in listening to music. Some are whispering to joke, some are flattering, and some are pointing at me, such as Chen Jieyu, who has been reluctant to part with Xie Ning.

After playing a song, Shufei smiled and said, "I haven't heard such a good pipa for some days." She ordered people to see the reward.

Zhao Ling stood up to thank the winner, and bowed to the people on the left and right mattresses one by one. I wonder if it was Xie Ning's illusion, but she always felt that Zhao Ling's tribute was facing her just now.

In fact, she should have thanked Mr. Xiaoye for breaking through the door. Xie Ning didn't dare to take credit for it, but she didn't say a word from beginning to end, so it couldn't be considered a helping.

Xie Ning felt even more uncomfortable when the other party's sincere gratitude was made.

This always makes her feel like a liar who cheats the world and steals his reputation.
