After everyone paid New Year's greetings one by one, Zhennan Wang gave a righteous lecture to the juniors. Seeing that the time was almost up, a stewardess quietly asked Nangong Yue if it was time to start the family banquet.
Nangong Yue nodded and was about to ask the King of Zhennan for instructions when she heard a slightly shrill female voice say before her: "How is the Crown Princess doing recently?"
There was silence in the hall. They know each other like sisters. Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ling immediately heard the eldest sister's tone that those who come are not kind and those who are kind will not come. The two sisters secretly exchanged a look.
Nangong Yue replied nonchalantly: "Thank you for your care, auntie. My nephew and daughter-in-law are very kind."
Mrs. Qiao looked pleased, slightly chinned and said: "The royal palace has a lot of things to do during the new year, and it is really hard for the Crown Prince. I look a little thinner, which really makes our elders feel distressed. The prince often said that the Crown Prince has been The concubine is virtuous and capable, and can serve as an example of a virtuous woman. However, I thought that after all, the imperial concubine is young and has no one to help her or a mother-in-law to teach her, so there is always something wrong with her." At this point, she paused deliberately. , then said again, "Mother Chu, you haven't bowed to the imperial concubine yet."
An old woman in her fifties, wearing a parrot green dark-patterned jacket that was not old enough, stepped forward from behind Mrs. Qiao and bowed respectfully: "I have seen the Crown Princess."
Nangong Yue then noticed that Mrs. Qiao had brought an unfamiliar nanny over today, while Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ling's expressions moved slightly, as if they had remembered something.
"You are Aunt Chu!" King Zhennan stared at Aunt Chu and blurted out, "I still remember that you took care of the eldest son before..."
Hearing this, Aunt Chu straightened her chest, knelt down and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner: "Your Majesty still remembers me, I am really flattered."
Mrs. Qiao said calmly: "My dearest concubine, this Aunt Chu was the old nanny who was left by A Yi's mother-in-law to take care of A Yi. Now Aunt Chu has sent the white-haired person to the black-haired person, and the son has gone She is now alone and helpless. Considering that she has taken care of A Yi for a while, our palace should also serve her well. Furthermore, Aunt Chu is also an old servant of our palace. She can also stay with the Crown Princess in the future. A few reminders. Crown Princess, do you think so?"
Zhennan King nodded slightly in agreement.
Generally speaking, for old servants who have served the young master, the head of the family will come forward to make offerings to them in order to accumulate good deeds.
This Aunt Chu is indeed the person left behind by Xiao Yi's mother. She also took care of the young Xiao Yi and provided for her in her old age, which is not too much. As for giving advice and helping others, in the opinion of King Zhennan, the imperial concubine has already done a good job in charge of the middle minister, and even an old servant can't help her much.
Nangong Yue nodded lightly and said, "It turns out to be Aunt Chu."
Nanny Chu felt very uncomfortable. I have served the late Princess and the Crown Prince, so the Crown Princess should be polite to me. It seems that just like Mrs. Qiao said, the Crown Princess really doesn't understand etiquette and rules.
The Crown Princess is the master, and he is a servant, but he cannot let the Crown Princess be so rash and lose the Crown Prince's face.
Thinking of this, Aunt Chu politely advised: "Your Majesty, I am not a servant who relies on the old and sells out her old age. After all, I am also an old man next to the late Princess, and I have taken care of the young Crown Prince. I will give you a full bow and accept it. A half-ceremony is also appropriate. It's a pity that the late princess died young. Princess, you don't have a mother-in-law by your side, and you don't have an old man to remind you, so you inevitably forget the etiquette. When the late princess was still alive, she was quiet and courteous, and she respected her parents-in-law. People will say something bad."
The side hall became even quieter. Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ling held up the tea cups together, lowered their eyes and took a sip of hot tea.
Xiao Fei frowned and was about to speak when she saw Nangong Yue speak slowly and said: "...the mother concubine asked Aunt Chu to take care of the prince?"
Mother Chu puffed up her chest and said, "Of course."
The corners of Nangong Yue's lips were slightly raised, and she said with a half-smile: "...Back then, when Aunt Chu left your young son and left the house, did you ever think about the entrustment of your mother and concubine? Aunt Chu followed her son. After enjoying so many years of blessings, now that I am lonely and helpless, I think of coming back. It is a pity that the prince is no longer a child who needs the care of his mother."
The King of Zhennan stroked his beard. The imperial concubine was right. The old slave wanted to leave. The palace thought that she had served the Dafang family once, so he released her. She did not regard the imperial concubine as her top priority. Now, But he still wants to take advantage of Qiao by taking care of his son for a few years! What a real slave!
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly changed again.
Nanny Chu's face turned blue and white, and she argued: "I did not leave the house voluntarily that day, but my wife..."
Nangong Yue interrupted her coldly, "Mom, do you still remember that your master is the prince, the late princess, and the heir apparent?"
Nangong Yue once looked through the roster of the palace in the early years, and was certainly impressed by Aunt Chu, who had served the late Princess and Xiao Yi successively. According to the roster, Aunt Chu was indeed entrusted by the late princess to take care of Xiao Yi, but when Xiao Yi was only six years old, she was taken out of the palace by her son and was never heard from again.
That day, she ignored the former princess's entrustment and left the house to avoid disaster. Now that she saw Xiao Yi's glory, she wanted to come back and enjoy her glory through the former princess's entrustment? There is nothing so cheap in this world!
Nangong Yue looked at her sharply, until cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and then said casually: "But, what's the matter, mama is also an old man who has been used by the mother-in-law. In the face of the mother-in-law, Come on, of course you can give grandma a bite to eat."
Everyone in the world sympathizes with the weak. If Aunt Chu is allowed to go out and talk nonsense, it will definitely ruin Xiao Yi's reputation.
What's more, I am still worried about not being able to find the old servant who lived in the late princess's house. It would be great if Aunt Chu comes to her door.
As for worship? Dream on!
Nanny Chu wanted to defend herself a few words, but seeing that King Zhennan's face was already a little unkind, she swallowed her words.
Mrs. Qiao’s face turned blue and white.
When Madam Chu was with Dafang in the past, she was a very upright and tough person. She didn't even give her own face, and even dared to sell the bed-warming maid she gave to her younger brother. Unexpectedly, in just a few years, it would become so useless.
Hmph, but after all, Aunt Chu was left by the Dafang family, and she indeed took care of Xiao Yi for six years. Xiao Yi should still have some impression of her. For the sake of Xiao Yi and Dafang, Nangong Yue would not dare to neglect her. Nangong Yue did not have the guidance of her mother-in-law and was used to being willful. Even her younger brother was deceived by her and thought she was a good person. Having such an old servant here can correct her temperament, so as not to disgrace their Zhennan Palace.
Nangong Yue gave a brief signal, and Nanny Chu was taken down by a steward to settle down.
"Father, do you think the banquet has been held?" Nangong Yue stood up and respectfully asked King Zhennan for instructions.
The King of Zhennan happily agreed.
So, everyone left the main hall in twos and threes. King Zhennan took his brother-in-law, sister-in-law and nephews to the outer courtyard, while the female relatives moved to the side hall next to the main hall.
The ladies sat at one table, and the girls opened another table at the side.
The six girls from the third room of the palace are all here, plus the four cousin girls who are visiting today. These ten girls of different ages are like ten delicate flowers, which are pleasing to the eye.
As the eldest daughter of the palace, Xiao Fei greeted the guests generously: "Cousin Lan, cousin Ting, cousin Yu, cousin Xin, please sit down. Try this plum blossom tea, which my sister-in-law and I made this year."
Both Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ling still remember that during the royal banquet last year, Xiao Fei was still cold and indifferent to common matters. In just a short period of time, her speech and behavior became aristocratic, and her behavior in dealing with others was even more moderate. They all couldn't help but glance at Nangong Yue and thought to themselves: The Crown Princess did not deliberately belittle Xiao Fei because of Xiao Fang.
The maids served plum blossom tea to several girls one by one. They talked and laughed, but Qiao Ruolan looked gloomy.
Besides, Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni's maids were paying attention to her with vigilance. The last scene when the cousin went crazy and wanted to hit someone was still fresh in their memory, lest she lose control again.
Qiao Ruolan stared at Xiao Fei and Xiao Ni with a sinister look.
Xiao Ni frowned, always feeling that this cousin’s madness seemed to be getting worse...
Qiao Ruolan was patient and clenched her fists tightly in her sleeves. Of course she wanted to slap Xiao Ni hard.
But mother said that if she wants her dreams to come true, she must learn to be patient...
For the person she has never forgotten...
Qiao Ruolan's eyes were half lowered, and a hint of stubbornness that was almost crazy flashed in her eyes.
