Just as Qin Mohan had predicted.

The two had just entered the palace and had not even taken a hundred steps.

Then a matron and a palace maid strode toward them.

Although it's still quite far away.

But Qin Mohan still stopped and looked at the old woman, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"They've arrived as expected."

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng turned to look at him: "Who?"

"Your Highness, didn't you see that? That's Granny Li, the Empress's maid."

"Granny Li?"

After hearing this, Ye Qingcheng followed his gaze and looked ahead.

"You mean that old woman who was accompanied by a maid?"

"Yes! Your Highness, that Granny Li has been serving the Empress for many years. She is also an old servant in the palace, with more seniority than Granny Hua."

In the harem, you are the master of many servants, and you are not easy to deal with. Once you enter the harem, you must be careful.

Remember, if any crisis arises, try to hold on yourself first. I will, after a short while, ask my father for permission to enter the inner palace and bring you out.”

"Yes! Don't worry! It's nothing more than some scheming. Besides, today is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, so I don't think they would dare to do anything too outrageous."

Qin Mohan sighed: "I hope so."

"Let them come as they please, let's just pretend we didn't see them. We'll talk to them when they get here. Let's go!"

"good."

The two strode forward again toward the Hall of Union, where the emperor held court and ministers received audiences.

But the two hadn't even taken ten steps.

"Seventh Prince...please wait."

At this moment.

The old woman's voice then reached their ears.

The two stopped again and looked at the old woman.

Granny Li, taking three steps as one, jogged over with her maid.

"This old servant greets the Seventh Prince."

"This servant greets the Seventh Prince and pays respects to him."

Then Granny Li came up in front of them.

Then he and the maidservant bowed to Qin Mohan.

Qin Mohan looked at them coldly: "Hmm! What is it?"

"Your Highness, today is the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."

The Empress heard that the Princess Consort would also be accompanying Your Highness to the palace to offer birthday greetings.

However, ever since you married the princess, she has never appeared or come to the palace to pay her respects.

The Empress has never seen what the Princess looks like, and fears that she might not recognize her if they meet in the future.

so…"

So what?

"Therefore, Your Highness has specially ordered this old servant to come and invite the Princess Consort to the palace for an audience. May I ask if the lady beside you is the Princess Consort?"

"That's right, she is my queen."

Upon hearing this, Granny Li spoke again, "This old servant greets Your Highness."

The maid also bowed and said, "This servant greets the Princess."

"kindness!"

Ye Qingcheng nodded.

Qin Mohan then turned to Ye Qingcheng and said, "Your Highness, since the Empress Dowager has summoned you, Your Highness, you should go with Granny Li!"

Ye Qingcheng nodded and replied, "Okay."

Then he looked at Granny Li and said, "Thank you for leading the way, Granny."

Upon hearing this, Granny Li frowned slightly.

kindness?

Wasn't it rumored that Princess Han was a madwoman? How could she possibly understand such etiquette?

Despite her speculations, she still politely replied, "Your Highness is too kind to this old servant; this is simply my duty."

"Alright, lead the way!"

"yes."

Granny Li responded respectfully, and then straightened up.

And just as she straightened up, she looked directly at Ye Qingcheng.

Her brows furrowed slightly again.

Hmm? Why does the Seventh Princess's figure seem so familiar? I feel like I've seen her somewhere before.

Granny Li racked her brains for a moment, but still couldn't remember. She shook her head slightly and led Ye Qingcheng toward the Phoenix Palace.

After watching Ye Qingcheng leave with Granny Li, Qin Mohan quickened his pace and headed towards the Jiaotai Hall.

This way.

Ye Qingcheng followed Granny Li and soon arrived at the Phoenix Palace.

However, they did not go inside.

Li Mama said to Ye Qingcheng, "Please wait here for a moment, Your Highness, while I go in and inform you."

"good."

Ye Qingcheng nodded in agreement.

Then.

Granny Li then entered the hall.

now.

In the palace, besides the Empress and several maids, there was another person, Ye Qingyao.

At this moment, the two of them were discussing something.

However, Ye Qingyao was very humble, curtsying before the Empress as if she were giving a lecture.

The Empress stopped when she saw Li Mama enter.

Ye Qingyao turned to look at Granny Li.

"Your Majesty."

"Okay! How is it? Did you bring the person?"

"They've arrived and are waiting at the door."

"Alright, let her wait for an hour first."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, isn't it too easy for that little slut to just stand there like that?"

"Hmm? So what are your thoughts?"

"She should be made to kneel."

"She hasn't made any mistakes, so how can I punish her?"

"Your Majesty, have you forgotten? After she married into the Han Prince's mansion, she never once paid her respects to you. This is a grave offense of disrespect."

"Yes! It was the Crown Prince's concubine who reminded me."

"Li Mama, go and convey my imperial decree that she should kneel in the courtyard for an hour before she may rise and enter the palace to see me."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Li Mama finished speaking, she left.

Outside the door.

Ye Qingcheng saw Li Mama come out.

"Granny."
