Chapter 28 The Divine Power Appears for the First Time
"Your Majesty, tell Nanny that there is something wrong with the princess lately."
Nanny Chen whispered in Concubine Shu's ear.
The tiger-head hat that Concubine Shu was embroidering was almost finished. In recent days, Guangling Palace has been deserted, and she is happy to have some peace and quiet. Because of the shock she received in Chengqian Palace that day, she has not paid respects to the Jingren Palace for a month.
After hearing Nanny Chen's words, she did not stop her hands and said softly: "Why is there something wrong?"
In this month, she has heard too many voices from Ying'an.
She was annoyed by the noise, but she also felt quite happy.
It's just that sometimes she feels incomprehensible.
For example.
Ying'an said that she wanted to become stronger quietly and then surprise everyone.
Ying'an said that the broken Daling Dynasty was poor and remote, and there was so little spiritual energy in the world, no wonder the country was not prosperous, and there was no nobleman who could lead Daling to prosperity. Ying'an
said that if she became the king of Daling, she would change the status quo of Daling Dynasty by herself, create a peaceful and prosperous era, and unify the world.
Ying'an also said that she would let the three-person team fight among themselves.
She was confused in her heart, but she also felt that a little kid could not make any big waves, so no matter what she heard, she just pretended not to hear it.
Nanny Chen looked around furtively, and after confirming that there was no one else around, she spoke: "The princess has had a strange look in her eyes recently when she looks at you. Nanny Xiang told her that it was like the look of a palace maid when she did something bad. Also, the princess has been pretending to be asleep recently, and then wakes up after Nanny Xiang leaves. I don't know what she does. Nanny Xiang left the princess's room on purpose several times, and then returned to find that the princess was playing with her hands. Moreover, the furnishings in the room kept changing positions by themselves. There were even several times when things that should have been in the princess's room ended up on Nanny Xiang's bed for some reason."
Concubine Shu frowned, and finally raised her eyes, wondering: "Oh? Could it be that Nanny Xiang herself... Did you forget and just moved the item's position?"
Nanny Chen shook her head: "Impossible, Your Majesty, you know that Nanny Xiang and I are close friends, and we have often served the same master in the palace for so many years. I know Nanny Xiang best. She is clean and honest, and always cares about her master. She always puts the master's honor and disgrace first. If the master is wronged, she is the first to stand up and oppose it. Although she is usually taciturn, if the queen really did something bad to the princess that day, Nanny Xiang might really have offended the queen and suffered a disaster. Moreover, she has the best memory and it is impossible for her to forget the position." After
listening to Nanny Chen's words, Concubine Shu recalled that day.
At that time, Nanny Xiang was indeed pinned down by the people around the empress. When she and Nanny Chen went over, Nanny Xiang almost poked Momo, who was beside the empress, with a peg.
She put down her tiger-head hat, got off the couch and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Nanny Chen stepped forward and lowered her eyes, silently holding Concubine Shu's hand, lowered her eyes and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, since the emperor left that day, although he has come to Guangling Palace several times, he has never stayed overnight. Aren't you anxious?"
Concubine Shu curled her lips, and between her eyebrows, there was a calmness of looking down on life, and a bit of relief.
But there was also a bit of determination in her eyes, that kind of determination to win, no matter how you look at it, it is not a mentality of letting things happen like this.
Concubine Shu raised her eyes and glanced at the square sky above her head, and whispered: "In the harem, the fight is all about the emperor's heart. He wants to come here, and I care about him and protect him. I will do my duty to protect Ying'an, which is to follow his wishes. Since I have followed the emperor's wishes, I can't be impatient and have to take it slowly."
Anyway, there is still a month before her death, so it's still early.
The drama in the harem has not yet begun.
But Nanny Chen's eyes brightened: "Your Majesty is talking about... Mi Chun..."
When mentioning Mi Chun, Concubine Shu's eyes are always filled with sadness and guilt.
Concubine Shu suppressed her bitterness and said solemnly: "That day, I couldn't save Mi Chun, so I could only transfer her from the Shenxingsi Prison to Xinzheku for hard labor. She, like you, was brought here as my dowry. How could I abandon her?"
Listening to Concubine Shu's heartfelt words, tears instantly fell from Nanny Chen's eyes.
In the courtyard of Guangling Palace, she knelt down and kowtowed three times: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for caring about Mi Chun. I thank you on behalf of Mi Chun. To be honest, Your Majesty, I have been with Mi Chun for so long that I have already regarded Mi Chun as my own child. I will serve you and Princess Ying'an like a cow and a horse in my life, without hesitation!"
Concubine Shu was so scared that she quickly bent down to help Nanny Chen.
Although Nanny Chen was a servant, she had watched her grow up and had quite some feelings for her. She even saw her more often than her father. Although they were not related by blood, in Shufei's heart, Nanny Chen was already a family member.
How could she not feel distressed?
But after all, she entered the palace and became a master, so she certainly would not be without a sense of propriety. She
just raised Nanny Chen's arm and said softly, "I don't need you to work like a cow or a horse. I only want you. No matter what, make sure Ying'an is safe and sound."
Nanny Chen knelt down and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Madam. I'll remember it."
The side hall where Ying'an lived was next to the main palace where Shufei lived, so Ying'an was not allowed to live in Yinghua Palace.
Yinghua Palace was the palace for all underage princesses of the Daling Dynasty. Although there was only one Ying'an, it was empty.
In fact, this was also a special permission from Emperor Qingling.
When Nanny Chen led Concubine Shu to the side hall, Nanny Xiang was in a daze outside the house, still holding Ying'an's wave drum in her hand.
Seeing Concubine Shu coming, she hurried forward to salute: "Your servant greets the queen."
Concubine Shu looked into the house and said in a deep voice: "Why are you standing here?"
Nanny Xiang hesitated: "This..."
She looked up at Nanny Chen, and Nanny Chen nodded at her.
Nanny Xiang looked up at Concubine Shu and handed the wave drum in her hand to her.
"Your Majesty, I took this rattle to your bed this morning, but just now, it was in the princess's crib, I..."
She didn't say the rest, but it would be impossible to say that she had no doubts.
She felt that the princess was different from other princes since she was born.
The princess' eyes were not like those of a child of that age at all, but more like a mature and calm old man. When he looked at her, he was sometimes kind, but when he looked at Mu Guiren, he was a little indifferent and indifferent, even with hatred.
Although she was afraid, she also understood that everything the master did was right, and nothing the master said could be questioned.
So she always regarded these actions of the princess as childlike innocence, just a coincidence.
