5 chat
When chatting with an ordinary person, how could he say anything casually? The other party said he wanted to give the famous tribute porcelain? How could he chat? What if the emperor accidentally said one sentence and the emperor thought she was asking for reward again?
The emperor looked at the room—Xie Ning also followed his eyes and looked at the room again.
The house was very simple. She has lived in for two years and arranged it according to her own wishes. Overall, it can be called warm and generous. There is nothing else in the house to say, but the bookshelf against the wall in the north is Xie Ning’s favorite.
When she stays alone in the house and has nothing to do, she tries to do some handicrafts so that she won’t be idle. When she is idle, she will think randomly. Making something will not only pass the time, but also make up the house, and her mood will become more relaxed and open.
There is a small straw basket on the shelf, which is probably so big with both hands. There are also tiny flower vines made of rags on the edges of the basket and the handle. The green leaves and red flowers look very pleasant. These rags are all leftover cloth edges cut from clothes, and they are really useless. They can be considered to be a waste to treasure when used here.
"What straw woven is this?"
"It's the grass growing near the water beside the hibiscus pond to the west. The grass withered in autumn. When they packed up the broken lotus and leaves, I asked for these grasses and made it up myself."
The emperor praised him: "It's well made, very ingenious."
There are a few white and round pebbles for decoration in the basket. At first glance, I thought it was a bird egg.
Seeing the emperor's eyes showing a questioning look, Xie Ning took the initiative to explain, "The straw basket is too light, so put something to press it, otherwise it will be unstable."
Next to Xiao Lanzi, there is a pair of shoes made of hay mixed with colorful threads - of course, these shoes are just decorations and cannot be worn, and they look very delicate and cute.
In the grid upwards, there was a small windmill made of colorful paper and bamboo sticks. It was beautifully made. The emperor took it down and took a look. He tried to blow it. The windmill turned briskly, but it stopped soon again.
"You did it too?"
Xie Ning lowered his head and replied: "Yes."
"What's this?"
Xie Ning raised his head, and the emperor pointed to the easter eggs in the box.
"It's a goose egg."
It was indeed a goose egg, but the inside of the eggshell had been hollowed out and was painted with bright colors. The emperor picked up one and looked at it. He found that there was a small hole at the bottom of the eggshell, which had been pasted with glue. Something should have been filled in the eggshell to increase the amount. These things also allow the eggshell to stand firmly without being skewed.
The red, green, yellow, black, and some eggshells were painted with two colors, which were bright and dazzling. The eggs were gathered in the box, making them look particularly intimate and lively.
The emperor picked up a red eggshell, weighed it in his hand, turned around and saw a poem written on it.
"When I came, the red sun was playing with window screens."
What is this written without beginning or end?
Isn't this red egg a bit too funny?
The emperor picked up another yellow one, and the above sentence was: Two yellow pears and green willows.
This pineapple?
There were indeed a few numb spots on this eggshell, just like the flaws of a pear, and a pear stalk was painted on it.
...
Although the emperor never felt that he was born to be omnipotent, he had never encountered such a unique pineapple in the past thirty years.
The emperor coughed gently and calmly put the eggshell back.
The kitchen is very efficient. Shortly after Qingmei came back, the eunuch in the kitchen had already brought the food box.
Listening to the movement outside, Xie Ning remembered this problem that was a big deal.
Why did the emperor come to her suddenly? Now it’s time to have a meal. Is the emperor going to stay and eat together?
She doesn't have the emperor's food here.
"You ordered meal?"
Xie Ning said yes.
"Let them bring it in."
The little eunuch in the kitchen was almost scared and paralyzed!
He just came to deliver lunch to Xie Cairen, how could he see Eunuch Bai here, who is more than ten thousand people than one person in the palace? Eunuch Bai is here, which means that the emperor must be there.
The little eunuch entered the house tremblingly, and did not dare to look up. He first put down the food box and knelt down and knocked on his head, then opened the lid and brought out the things inside.
First, I took out a bowl of hot hand-rolled noodles, and then put four plates of side dishes. Eunuch Huang made it according to the words of Qingmei, and there was a lot of pepper and vinegar in the soup noodles. As soon as I opened the lid, a hot and sour aroma hit the nose.
The little eunuch finally put down the dishes and chopsticks, and the emperor had already sat down at the table.
The little eunuch knelt down and retreated. Eunuch Bai came forward to serve noodles and scoop soup for the emperor.
The emperor, like a master, said to Xie Ning: "Sit down."
Xie Ning still has to thank him and then sit down again.
It’s delicious noodles, but unfortunately it’s too awkward to eat them in front of the emperor. Noodles are no better than anything else, so they have to suck them. Could it be that she makes the sound of a slut like a slut in front of the emperor? The sound is particularly like the sound of a pig hunching in the trough. No matter where you eat other things, you won’t be as embarrassing as noodles.
If you don’t want to make a sound, you can only eat more restrictively.
The emperor ate noodles quite a bite, but he didn't make much noise. As expected, the emperor was not ordinary people and could not do anything to anyone.
Among the four side dishes, the sour cucumber strips were very refreshing, and the pig skin was very chewy, so they were smooth and elastic when they were eaten. The other two dishes were far away from her, so Xie Ning didn't bother to pick up the food, just eat these two things in front of her.
In the future, if you have the opportunity, you should practice eating noodles and try to eat calmly, quickly and full.
Unlike Xie Ning's restraint, the emperor was very satisfied with the food. In such a dull rainy weather, after eating the sour and sour noodles, he felt sweating all over and felt much more relaxed.
These side dishes are also very appetizing and refreshing.
The emperor didn't stay much after he was full, and said to Xie Ning: "I'm leaving."
Xie Ning hurried to see the guests off.
When he was sent to the gate of the courtyard, the emperor turned around and said, "Go in, it's still raining, so don't catch a cold."
Xie Ning bent his knees and whispered: "Thank you for your concern, I respectfully send it to the emperor."
Thankfully, I finally sent it away.
Xie Ning returned to the room and felt sore all over when he relaxed. Qinghe came over to support her on the bamboo couch in front of the window, and took out the beauty's fist to beat her legs.
"Help me loosen my hair, I want to sleep for a while."
Qinghe whispered: "Talented people, don't sleep anymore. You shouldn't sleep at night when you leave. Why don't you light a pot of incense for you and read a book?"
Xie Ning turned to look at her, and Qinghe's voice became even smaller: "If Aunt Shanggong comes later, it would be bad if you are asleep."
"No way?"
When the emperor left, he didn't show much nostalgia for her. Will Luo Shanggong come again?
Her eyes fell on the bookshelf, and the box of easter eggs should be put away. She was bored at that time, and after painting the color, she copied a few poems on it. She had no customers here, but she didn't expect that the emperor would see it.
Why don't you put it away first?
But the emperor had already seen it, and she seemed a little too deliberate to take it back now.
Qinghe is more than Xie Ning thinks.
The emperor must have liked his talented people. Otherwise, the emperor would not have come here in such a secluded place in Yingxiang Pavilion. Moreover, after the emperor and the talented people said for a long time, the food in the kitchen in the back garden was definitely not as delicate as the emperor's imperial meal, and the emperor also ate very delicious.
One of these two moves, the emperor must be worried about talented people. Otherwise, how could the emperor have many big and small things in a day? How could he stay in Yingxiang Pavilion for so long?
But Xie Ning is quite sleepy. People are not very energetic on rainy days and have no place to go, so it is better to have a big sleep.
Qinghe didn't want her to sleep, so she had to try her best to gossip and tell her.
"Talented man, Qi Shanggong has sent tea, has the emperor tasted it? Are you familiar with it?"
Xie Ning yawned: "The emperor didn't care about tea, but asked a few questions about the teapot."
Qinghe asked carefully: "The teapot is a little old and not very decent. We don't know about it in advance when the emperor comes, otherwise I will definitely find out the new one."
When it comes to teapot Xie Ning, he feels very upset.
The emperor just said that he wanted to give her a new tea set. Who knows if it was just a casual statement or if it was really a gift?
It was a good meal at noon, but the emperor didn't eat well when he arrived.
Xie Ning thought about what to eat at night? He didn't want to eat noodles anymore, but he was disturbed by the emperor. He didn't want to see noodles for at least ten days.
While she was hesitating, the person who solved the problem for her came.
Luo Shang Palace is here.
Qinghe and Qingmei smiled when they saw Luo Shanggong. Luo Shanggong was very wise and smiled much more sincerely than these two yellow-haired girls.
When she first came to Yingxiang Pavilion, she was not sure what the future of Xie Cairen was. Now she really wanted to please Xie Cairen.
There are many women in the palace, and the emperor has slept more. However, many of them are only once, and they have never been remembered by the emperor again. Although the emperor has just ascended the throne and only a few women have slept, the late emperor's combat effectiveness in this regard is excellent. The highest record should be in the tenth year of the late emperor Yuanchun? In a year, the late emperor slept with more than 210 palace maids without a duplicate... The reason why the data is so clear is that Luo Shanggong is a professional in this regard. Although the late emperor was still young when he slept in the harem, Luo Shanggong had read the booklets of the year in Shangyujian archives, and the person who wrote the booklets would not lie.
So being slept with the emperor once did not explain any problem. These 210 palace maids were silently washed away by time without even turning over a splash.
But if you have a second time, it would be different. The first time can be said to be accidental, but the second time the emperor can still remember this person, which is extraordinary.
What's more, Luo Shanggong also heard that the emperor came to Yingxiang Pavilion to see Xie Cairen today, and he still left after lunch.
