Chapter 315 Helping to Establish Authority
The Queen Mother was suddenly kissed by the little girl and was stunned on the spot.
The eldest princess was also shocked at this time. The queen mother had always been sitting high in the sky, and no one dared to do such a thing to her.
Although Niu Niu was only a six-year-old girl, the eldest princess vaguely thought that the Queen Mother might lose her temper.
The eldest princess was thinking of a countermeasure in her mind, wondering how to speak up for Niu Niu.
The other servants in the room were so frightened by Niu Niu's initiative that they held their breath.
Just when everyone thought that Niu Niu, who acted rashly, would be punished, the empress dowager came to her senses and looked at Niu Niu, who was still standing beside her with a well-behaved face and clear eyes.
"Child, you are really good at making people happy. Go and play." The Queen Mother waved her hand with a smile.
Niu Niu didn't even realize the stagnant atmosphere in the room at that moment. At this moment, she was like a happy butterfly, running out with light steps.
Immediately, a young palace maid followed, still shouting: "Girl, slow down, slow down!"
"Jingshu, I brought you something delicious!" Niu Niu held the plate of pastries and placed it in front of Qin Jingshu with joy on her face.
Qin Jingshu didn't pack her luggage at all, but waited in a room.
Not all of these young girls who entered the palace had to live in Shoukang Palace. Palace maids had already come to inform them that after they had a good rest, all the concubines in the palace would come, and they would then be assigned to live with one of the concubines.
In the traditional culture, when adopting a child, the adoptive mother is also required to raise the child for a period of time and be truly kind to the child.
When Qin Jingshu heard Niuniu's voice, a look of joy immediately appeared on her face. When she saw the plate of pastries in Niuniu's hand, Qin Jingshu's face was full of surprise again.
"You actually remembered! It's my favorite pea yellow!"
Niuniu patted her chest and said, "We are good friends. Of course I have to remember my good friends' hobbies!"
Qin Jingshu's nose was sore, and she whispered: "Even my parents don't remember what I like to eat. Only my eldest brother and aunt remember it."
Niuniu said, "Before, only two people remembered it, but now there are three people who remember it, and there will be more and more people who remember it!"
Qin Jingshu nodded vigorously. She really liked being with Niu Niu. Compared to the lifeless Xianguo Mansion and the strict teaching of Xianguo's wife, she felt that Niu Niu had an inspiring vitality that made people want to get close to her.
"You can eat. We are in the palace now and no one is watching you." Niu Niu said happily.
Just as the little girl finished her words, an old lady with a serious face appeared beside them.
"Having preferences and knowing how to be moderate are the ways to maintain good health. Miss, your mistress has repeatedly warned you before you left the palace that you must be moderate in your diet even after you enter the palace." The old nanny said with a cold face.
Niuniu looked at the old lady curiously and asked, "Why does she control you?"
When Niu Niu entered the palace, she did not bring any maid or other servants with her. She was only told that people were not allowed to enter or leave the palace at will, and she thought that other people were the same.
"This nanny originally left the palace and was invited by my mother to our house to teach me rules and etiquette. Now she just follows me back to the palace to serve me, so the palace has allowed it." Qin Jingshu explained to Niu Niu in a low voice.
Only then did Niu Niu understand that anyone who had left the palace could come back with them this time, but they would not receive a share of the profits from the palace.
"But you are the lady, do you want to listen to her?" Niu Niu asked.
Qin Jingshu was a little scared at first, but after hearing this, she immediately seemed to be reminded and said to the old lady, "You go down first. My friend and I have something to talk about alone."
The old nanny did not move, but remained standing there, frowning and saying in an unquestionable tone: "Miss, I am doing this for your own good. Even if you want to say something to your friends, you don't have to hide it from me."
The old lady's words were extremely presumptuous, but her aura was so strong that when she stood there, people dared not resist.
Qin Jingshu was only six years old. Even though she was the master and even though she was precocious, she was still frightened by the old lady's appearance.
After all, the old nanny had been serving in the palace for a long time. At this moment, she raised her face slightly and said, "I entered the palace when I was ten years old and have served three masters, including the queen and the imperial concubine. Since the lady of the Duke of Xian asked me to teach the young lady, when the young lady is about to do something wrong, I must fulfill my duty to advise her."
After she said these high-sounding words, Qin Jingshu really didn't dare to say anything.
But Niuniu tilted her head and looked at her, saying, "Then why don't you continue to serve the queen and the imperial concubine?"
Old Madam: ...
The old nanny's face froze at these words that hit her heart, even though it was the wife of Duke Xian who asked the second wife to ask the imperial concubine for this.
But the fact that Concubine Li was willing to let her leave the palace naturally proved that she was not an important figure around Concubine Li.
Niuniu continued to ask: "Did you serve the Queen and the Imperial Concubine in the same way in the past? Were you also their boss?"
The old nanny naturally didn't dare to say this, so she could only say coldly: "The Imperial Concubine is a master who listens to advice, so the servants don't need to persuade her."
Niuniu said, "Really? Then I'll go ask the Imperial Concubine later."
The old lady looked at Niu Niu's innocent face and was not sure for a moment whether what Niu Niu said was true or false.
Niuniu continued, "You used to serve the Queen? There is no Queen in the palace now. Are you talking about the former Queen Mother? The Queen Mother is close by, why don't I go ask her now?"
Niu Niu said this, and stood up and was about to run out.
When the old lady heard this, her face suddenly became panic-stricken.
She did receive instructions from Lady Xianguogong, asking her to keep an eye on Qin Jingshu and to restrain the eldest lady's behavior in the palace.
When the master gives the servants authority over the young master, not many servants can still remain humble.
Qin Jingshu was young and easy to bully, and the old nanny was a woman who had left the palace, so she was naturally experienced. She could clearly see that Lady Xian Guogong's words were all about control and not much kindness, so she naturally dared to ride on Qin Jingshu's neck at this time.
But she didn't expect to meet Niu Niu. The little girl punched her randomly and almost beat her to death.
"Miss Gu, please wait a moment. I have thought about it carefully. The master is the master after all. The servants can only give advice and cannot make the decisions for the master." The old nanny looked humble.
Niu Niu looked surprised. She just thought it was a bit strange and wanted to ask about it, but she didn't expect that the nanny was so scared.
Niuniu was just naive, not stupid. Seeing this man's arrogant attitude, she asked directly, "Are you trying to bully Jingshu on purpose?"
