Time flies, and it's already the second day of the second lunar month.
After all, this was the first agricultural festival since the emperor ascended the throne, and the entire court attached great importance to it.
Early in the morning, Song Xibai got ready and left the palace with Yuan Shen.
This time, she only took Wei Hong and Li Chun with her. The rest of the staff were arranged according to the rules. The staff of Changqing Palace were basically left behind in the palace.
Before leaving, Song Xibai summoned everyone to the front hall and gave them some stern instructions.
The crowd responded in a deep voice.
Song Xibai led Wei Hong and Lichun to get up and walk outside. When they reached the door, they suddenly paused.
"Wen Niang, don't forget what I told you."
Wen Niang understood immediately, and a smile appeared on her face.
"Your Majesty, rest assured, this servant understands."
Song Xibai nodded slightly before turning and leaving.
The conversation between the two left onlookers completely bewildered; no one understood it.
As soon as Song Xibai left, Fuliu, as the head aunt, immediately dismissed everyone, telling them to go about their own business.
Wenniang and the others turned around and returned to the west side room.
The new palace maids are all relatively quiet, but they are much more efficient in their work.
"You two, go and keep an eye on things in the small kitchen." Wen Niang called over two palace maids and instructed them, "Here is two taels of silver. Tell the eunuch in the small kitchen to be vigilant and not let anyone take advantage of the situation."
The two palace maids exchanged a glance, curtsied, accepted the silver, and left.
Nanny Qiao, who was standing by the window, moved her eyes upon hearing this and then spoke.
"Sister Wen is so thoughtful. No wonder Her Majesty gave you special instructions before she left! By the way, what does Her Majesty need you to do?"
She pretended to be curious and took two steps over.
Wen Niang said calmly, "It's nothing, just a small matter, it has nothing to do with you. By the way, it's your turn to be on night duty today, you might as well go back to your room and sleep a little longer during the day, so you won't be sleepy at night."
"No need, I'm not sleepy." Nanny Qiao's smile remained unchanged. "But Sister Wen, you've been busy for so many days, you should get some rest."
"Her Majesty entrusted the two young masters to me, how can I let my guard down? Although Changqing Palace is under Her Majesty's jurisdiction, it's hard to guarantee that no one will have other ideas!"
After Wenniang finished speaking with a sigh, she seemed to suddenly realize something and covered her mouth.
"Oh dear! What did I just say? Don't take it to heart! I wasn't talking about you."
These words only made things worse; once spoken, Nanny Qiao's expression froze.
She chuckled and made an excuse to leave the main hall.
As she walked to the gate, Granny Qiao's back was stiff, and she felt that Wen Niang's eyes were always staring at her.
Did she discover something?
Or has the Imperial Concubine already noticed something?
But I haven't done anything during this time! I just asked around for some information...
Nanny Qiao's mind worked incredibly fast.
After entering the palace, she originally thought she would quickly gain the Consort's trust, but to her surprise, the Consort still trusted Wen Niang as before, even after she had made a mistake. She was suppressed by Wen Niang, and her occasional attempts to sow discord with the Consort were ineffective.
In addition, with the change of personnel in Changqing Palace, everyone was insecure, making it even more difficult for her to send messages out.
It has been more than ten days since I last received a message from my master.
No further messages came in, and for a moment, Nanny Qiao was at a loss as to how to proceed with the next action.
No matter how smart she is, she is very restricted in what she does in Changqing Palace.
Despite the freezing weather, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
Upon reaching the entrance of her residence, Granny Qiao suddenly turned around and looked towards the main hall.
no!
We must get rid of Wen Niang!
