"Burp~"
The persimmons were delicious. The sun was shining, the breeze was just right, and the yard was full of fruit trees, each laden with fruit. The fragrance of fruits filled the air, and Gu Yinxia sighed, "It's so beautiful outside the palace. I don't even want to go back."
Speaking of returning to the palace, Concubine Xian casually asked, "Miss Xing, are you willing to come back to the palace with me and be my maid? I like you very much. Once you enter the palace, you will be like Xiaoyu."
Miss Xing was a little melancholy. Xiaoyu said, "I earn fifteen taels of silver every month."
Miss Xing was precocious and intelligent. She actually did not want to enter the palace and planned to marry the son of a carpenter at the east end of the village so that she could be close to home and take care of her family.
Everyone in the Xing family supported Miss Xing's opinion, except her sister-in-law, who wanted a divorce.
Miss Xing refused righteously, and was ashamed to confront her unruly sister-in-law, saying that the family would fall apart without her.
"A thousand ounces of gold, ten thousand ounces of silver, cannot be worth a family reunion."
"After I enter the palace, who will take care of my parents? Will you come, sister-in-law, or will you come, brother?"
Miss Xing had a strong personality and was efficient at work. Gu Yingxia really liked her, but was distressed that she could not bring her into the palace, so she gave her many books. Miss Xing became smarter and smarter after reading the books.
Later, he became a wealthy and famous businessman in the persimmon forest. Of course, this is a story for later.
The trip to Persimmon Forest took a full month. After returning to the palace, Gu Yingxia invited the eldest prince to the Cining Palace to eat persimmon cakes.
The eldest prince was attending classes with a great scholar and had no time to come, so he asked Nanny Li to come and get the persimmon cakes.
Nanny Li was dressed in silk and satin, with silver bracelets on both wrists and jewel rings on her hands. She was followed by four palace maids, and she looked more dignified than the average noble.
"You must be Ah Qing, right? I'm the eldest prince's wet nurse. Where are the dried persimmons your concubine sent someone to bring back?"
"Madam, please look, they are all on the table."
Nanny Li was very picky and did everything she wanted, looking very impressive.
"I've picked it out. The persimmons in your Cining Palace aren't very fresh, and the eldest prince likes to eat fresh persimmons. If you get new persimmons in the future, remember to let me know as soon as possible."
Ah Qing didn't say anything.
Nanny Li said, "I want to thank you personally on behalf of the First Prince. It's hard for a servant like you to be so eager to curry favor with the First Prince. You are quite perceptive. The First Prince is the Prince's only son, and the Emperor's first son. When the First Prince becomes Emperor, I will have him remember your kindness."
After Ah Qing sent Nanny Li away, Gu Yingxia came out from behind the screen and said, "Ah Qing, don't be angry. Nanny Li's good days are almost over."
Gu Yingxia's words came true. On the way back after receiving the persimmon cakes, Nanny Li paid the price for her outspokenness.
When Mei Fei passed by Tingzhu Pavilion, the hairpin on her head suddenly fell off, so she bent down to pick it up. When Mei Fei came out, she did not send anyone to follow her. She was used to being alone. Today she went to report the latest situation of Sanfei Academy to Gu Yinwei.
Nanny Li had just come out of the Cining Palace with a group of people, carrying a few boxes of persimmon cakes in her hands. At this time, Nanny Li opened the box with ease, reached out to take out the persimmon cakes and started eating.
Mei Fei originally planned to wait until Li Ma and her group left before leaving, but she didn't know that Li Ma had no intention of leaving immediately. Instead, she talked about the eldest prince's privacy while eating.
"You may not know this, but the eldest prince still wet the bed when he was three years old."
The palace maids laughed along.
Only one of them refused to smile and had a blank expression on his face.
"Su'er, don't be shameless. I'm telling you, I'm the eldest prince's wet nurse. When he sits on the throne, I'll be half the empress dowager. I'm sorry for letting you be my son's concubine. With your small breasts and small butt, you can't give birth to a son. You're just like the Empress Dowager Hengle in the Cining Palace. You're destined to be childless for the rest of your life."
After hearing this, Concubine Mei was almost furious, but Nanny Li kept chattering on, sometimes slandering Concubine Chen, sometimes slandering Concubine Xi, and finally saying that even Concubine Chen didn't dare to offend her.
She talked a lot, and Mei Fei secretly took note of what she said, then slowly stood up from the flowers.
"Madame Li is so majestic, I didn't even know she was so capable."
"Am I wrong? A wet nurse is half a mother."
Mei Fei grabbed Li Ma's collar and led her to the Palace of Heavenly Purity. Li Ma was overstepping her bounds. If she was handed over to Xi Fei for punishment, it would only widen the rift between Xi Fei and the eldest prince.
When Concubine Mei was passing by the Cining Palace with Nanny Li, Gu Yingxia happened to be taking a walk, and the two groups ran into each other.
Gu Yingxia is not waiting for revenge, so how can she miss the opportunity when it comes to her?
Nanny Li was covered in dust and dirt, completely losing her previous arrogance.
"Did you eat the dried persimmons that I made as a prince?"
"I'm not, I didn't, please don't misunderstand me."
Mei Fei shouted, "She ate it, she ate it. I saw it clearly, and she smacked her lips while she ate."
Nanny Li was at a loss for words and lowered her head in shame.
At this time, a palace maid behind Li Ma said, "She not only ate the persimmons, but also everything sent from the Cining Palace, including lychees from Lingnan and grapes from the south..."
Not only was there food, but there were also many clothes that the eldest prince could no longer wear, as well as things from the eldest prince's warehouse.
"Madame Li, you are so brave."
"Your Majesty, calm down."
"Follow me to see the Queen Mother."
Gu Yinwei originally wanted to let the eldest prince deal with Nanny Li himself, but she never expected Concubine Chen to come and plead for mercy.
"What mistakes did the Empress Dowager, Consort Xian, Consort Mei, and Nanny Li make?"
"She committed insubordination." Concubine Xian replied with a cold face.
The crime of insubordination is like a sackcloth bag that can hold anything. Any servant who dares to talk back to her master can be charged with this crime.
