The eldest prince lost his temper, refused to eat dinner, and smashed five bowls and three vases.
Nanny Li served him tea, and the eldest prince was so angry that he even smashed the teacup.
The tea splashed all over Li Ma's body, and her moon-white palace dress was covered with yellow tea stains. Li Ma's dignity and dignity were gone.
That night, Nanny Li asked for leave from Concubine Chen. Concubine Chen asked, "Nanny Li, the eldest prince needs someone by his side. If you leave now, where will I find suitable staff?"
Nanny Li said, "I'm old, and my legs are not very convenient. I want to rest for a while."
No matter how much Concubine Chen tried to persuade her, Nanny Li remained unmoved and insisted on taking leave to go home.
Concubine Chen was both regretful and reluctant to let her go: "Madam, don't worry, just take good care of yourself and recuperate."
After Nanny Li left, Concubine Chen held her temples and laughed out loud.
"She's really stupid."
"Madame Li is clearly a servant, yet she values her reputation so much."
"Maybe we have been praising her too much recently, so that she has forgotten her status as a servant." Concubine Chen smiled slightly, her smile full of joy of victory.
"Master, the eldest prince has no suitable maid by his side. Who should be sent to manage the side hall?"
"Madame Pan beside Concubine Xi is quite good. Tomorrow, tell Concubine Xi to transfer Madame Pan over."
"yes."
The next day, Ah Xiang was in a hurry to go out at daybreak. Coincidentally, Nanny Li was carrying a lot of bags and preparing to leave the palace to go home and recuperate.
Ah Xiang met her and they smiled at each other.
Nanny Li thought Ah Xiang was trying to persuade her to stay, so she spoke to herself, "I've been too tired lately and need to go home and rest. If Miss Ah Xiang wants to ask me to go back..."
It's not impossible for you to ask me to go back, but you have to increase my palace fee.
Ah Xiang pretended not to hear her and walked straight past her towards Liangxiao Palace.
Nanny Li was anxious. Ah Xiang had always tried to curry favor with her when she met her before, but why was she acting differently today and ignoring her?
"A Xiang, where are you going?"
"Oh, Madam Li, it's you! I didn't see you just now."
Nanny Li smiled awkwardly, "I was standing at the foot of the wall just now, so it's normal that the young lady didn't see it."
"Mammy is taking leave to go home and recuperate. Ah Xiang wishes Mammy a safe journey and a speedy recovery."
Nanny Li smiled awkwardly. She wanted to say that she was not sick at all.
But she used her body as an excuse at the time and really couldn't say anything to refute.
"Miss Ah Xiang, I see you're going to Liangxiao Palace. Does the eldest prince have any instructions?"
"It's okay, just a message."
"Miss Ah Xiang, as someone who has been through this, I want to give you a piece of advice. The eldest prince doesn't like Concubine Xi, so you should avoid going to Liangxiao Palace if you don't have anything to do."
"Mammy, it's getting late. You should leave the palace immediately. I'll pick you up when you return."
Nanny Li was overjoyed after hearing this. "Let's make a deal. You'll pick me up when I return to the palace. When the eldest prince becomes emperor, I'll speak well of you."
Ah Xiang didn't want to listen at all. Nanny Li made a stupid move and started talking nonsense.
"Okay, Mammy, bye."
Nanny Li walked out of the palace, and Ah Xiang walked towards Liangxiao Palace. The two went in opposite directions and gradually walked away.
Nanny Li left the palace, hired a carriage, and returned to Lijiatun in high spirits.
Lijiatun'er lives in the suburbs of Beijing. Over the years, Li Ma has been a slave in the palace and has earned a large fortune.
Both sons got married, and their two tall tiled houses looked like two small hills. While other people in the village still lived in mud houses, Li Dalang and Li Erlang had already moved into brick and tile houses.
Old Master Li was sitting at the door smoking a pipe. Nanny Li got off the carriage and the whole family surrounded her like stars surrounding the moon.
"Mom, why are you back? How many days will you rest at home this time?" Li Dalang asked.
"Go home and rest for a month."
Li Erlang said, "Mother, why don't you quit your job in the palace? It would be so nice for our family to live happily together."
The eldest daughter-in-law also praised Li Mama, "Mother, an old person in the family is better than a treasure."
The second daughter-in-law said, "Mother, come home and we will serve you like the Empress Dowager."
Nanny Li was very happy and took out the things she brought back from the palace and distributed them to her son and daughter-in-law.
A red gold longevity lock, brand new clothes, various cakes, silver melon seeds, gold melon seeds, and Hetian jade beads.
The whole family was dazzled and all of them were smiling.
In the evening, Li Dalang and Li Erlang competed to pour water for Li Ma to wash her feet. People who have been bending over, kneeling and kowtowing to serve others all year round, now get others to kowtow to them when they return home.
Nanny Li stretched out her feet and put them into the basin. The warm water in the basin made her relax.
Early the next morning, her daughter-in-law personally helped her get up, asked her about her health, helped her wash up, and served her rice and dishes.
Nanny Li had worked hard for most of her life and felt that she had finally reaped the rewards of her hard work.
The family lives in harmony and happiness.
However, this good time did not last long. Seven days later, the two sons had a quarrel over who would fetch water for Li Ma's feet.
Half a month later, the two daughters-in-law started fighting again over who would cook. Li Ma's two sons had no skills and could not read, so they relied on her to send money back every month to support the family.
Now that Nanny Li has returned home, the palace no longer distributes monthly wages. Although the Li family has some extra money, they cannot afford to spend it like water.
If you only spend money and don't earn any, no matter how wealthy you are, you won't be able to survive.
After dinner, Old Li went to Madam Li and said, "Old woman, why don't you go back to the palace to work? You can't have peace at home if you come back. My eldest son's wife is about to give birth, and the cost of a child will be even higher."
