"I'll pass you the big..."

"Happy bird."

The magpie made a move to strike again, but Ji Fengyao stopped it.

As far as she knew, Granny Wang had no murder cases on her hands and was not a truly wicked person. Although she had burned Granny Wang's hand that day, she had also applied medicine to Granny Wang's hand, causing her discomfort for quite some time.

Now that Xique has beaten her up again, any grudges are settled.

If they are punished any more severely, then they will be no different from those wicked people who bully the weak.

"If the Empress Dowager issues an imperial decree, her people will deliver it. You are a concubine's person, so you should obediently return to your Ningxi Hall and stay there. Don't follow one master and act as someone else's dog. Such a servant will not be welcomed anywhere." Ji Fengyao was thinking about going to cultivate and was too lazy to get entangled with such a person. She said indifferently, "You can leave."

Granny Wang: "..."

But it was the Empress Dowager's decree...

Forget it, these bandits are really scary, my life is more important!

In any case, the Empress Dowager's intention was not to have the bandit go immediately.

If she knew the rules, she would have gone immediately; otherwise, things would have been more difficult for the Dowager Consort later.

Thinking of this, Granny Wang didn't care about saving face anymore. She pushed aside the group of little maids behind her who were terrified like little ostriches, and ran back to Ningxi Hall in a panic.

Over at Dianxiang Pavilion.

After Granny Chang passed away, the Empress Dowager immediately sent Granny Zheng instead.

Granny Zheng was originally a tutor in the palace. She was very knowledgeable about rules and regulations and immediately gave Princess Zhaoping, Simeng, and Siyi a lecture.

Simeng and Siyi were rebellious in the past.

After being scolded by Granny Zheng, he was speechless and completely subdued.

Most importantly, the Empress Dowager selected more than a dozen skilled eunuchs for Zheng Mama, ostensibly to serve Princess Zhaoping.

But actually, they were there to help Granny Zheng, to deal with the bandits, or to deal with these disobedient servants.

The next day, dawn was breaking.

Granny Zheng then urged Simeng and Siyi to get up and help Princess Zhaoping with her washing and dressing. Then, the group went to Ningxi Hall in a grand procession to pay their respects to Consort Xiao.

When they arrived at Ningxi Hall.

Consort Jin, Xi Ningshang, Song Huiru, and Qian Yingying have also arrived.

The women quickly rose and greeted Princess Zhaoping.

Princess Zhaoping was also very humble and courteous. When she stepped forward to greet Consort Xiao, she was exceptionally dignified and polite, which drew everyone's attention.

"So it's Aunt Zheng. It's been so many years. I didn't expect you to look and sound exactly the same as before, without any change." Consort Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager wanted to deal with that bandit;

They even managed to get this old codger out of retirement.

Zheng Mama remained calm and composed, her arrogance well concealed: "It is my blessing that the Dowager Princess still remembers me. Thanks to Your Highness, I am doing well."

Only then did everyone notice that Princess Zhaoping had a different nanny by her side.

This Granny Zheng had a neatly styled hair bun, ironed clothes, and a stern face. Her eyes and hair exuded strictness and meticulousness, and you could tell at a glance that she was a ruthless character.

"It seems that the Empress Dowager truly loves Zhaoping, having even given her aunt; with her aunt by Zhaoping's side and in the Prince's residence, I can rest assured," Consort Xiao said with a forced smile, her eyes full of meaning.

Zheng Mama stood respectfully, her voice stiff: "Your Highness is too kind. Now that I have come to the Prince's residence with the Princess, I am no longer a person of the palace. From now on, Your Highness, please still call me Mama. The Empress Dowager sent me here because she heard that Your Highness is not in good health and hopes that I can assist Your Highness and the Princess."
