That's what the master told her.
So even while strolling through the Imperial Garden, she felt a little uneasy, but when she returned, Consort Yi didn't say anything to her, and she was just about to ask her.
However, all the palace maids who served her were very caring towards her, but they remained silent about their daughter's attitude. Then, they drank a cup of tea in the palace.
"Madam Guo Luoluo, Consort Yi is currently with her child, and His Majesty has instructed that she should rest more, so I'm afraid we cannot continue to receive her," the nanny said in a measured tone.
She was momentarily speechless, her face quickly darkening. This was the first time she had been met with such coldness from the nanny who served her daughter. He had visited several times before, and each time he had been extremely respectful, addressing her as "Old Madam" and treating her with great courtesy. But now it seemed that it was all for her daughter's sake; how much respect did he truly have for her?
Consort Yi saw her and her sister off and sighed.
If her own mother treats her well, she will naturally be very moved and will look like she is about to shed tears. But in reality, she will treat her father better than anyone else. So what's the point of being good to her?
The person she was most sincere with was always her father.
It might be possible to bring my younger sister into the palace, but it's not something that can be done so easily.
If Father could achieve his goals so easily, what would become of him in the future? In fact, before that, Consort Yi had refused several offers from her family, which were meant to ask her to do certain things. However, based on her own principles and the fact that those things were indeed inappropriate, Consort Yi had already refused them all.
If I agree to this now, will my old habits resurface?
That's what she was thinking, so there was absolutely no way she would compromise with her father so quickly.
So, when she was considering this in her heart, she had already implicitly accepted that her younger sister could enter the palace. Even if she was struggling internally, she deliberately ignored her discomfort—if she agreed to let her sister enter the palace, and her sister could successfully enter through the selection process, how could the emperor not favor her, how could he not share the same man with her sister? She had already shared the emperor with enough people in the palace, and she was tired of it enough. Did she really have to add her sister to the mix?
She was very uncertain.
"How was Zhuzhu's day? Do you like your little aunt?"
Jingrou thought about it and nodded. She felt that the little aunt looked somewhat familiar.
She was timid like a little white rabbit, but her attitude towards her was very kind, which showed that she genuinely liked her. In particular, her cautious manner made Jingrou's heart soften.
Although she liked them somewhat, she was mostly worried. She knew that both of them were her aunts and that they were related to her by blood, but she understood which one she was closer to.
Consort Yi was her aunt who had been with her for so many years; their relationship went far beyond a simple aunt-niece bond…
Therefore, her first consideration was naturally her aunt's wishes and feelings, not her younger aunt's!
"Does Aunt want to send Little Aunt to the palace?"
Consort Yi patted her head. "Your aunt is still considering this matter. As you can see, your little aunt is indeed quite pitiful. If we could bring her into the palace to be under my protection, it would be a good thing..."
She seemed to be deep in thought.
Actually, although Consort Yi sometimes seems very intimidating, she is actually the most soft-hearted person. When she was in the mansion, because the mansion was chaotic and there were many children, she was not the most valued.
However, because of her strong personality and the fact that she had a younger sister whom she had to protect at all costs, she gradually became known as someone who was not to be trifled with and appeared arrogant and domineering. But in reality, she just had a protective instinct towards her sister and wasn't a particularly forceful person.
Jingrou tilted her head. She didn't know whether the young Lady Luo of the Guo family had actually entered the palace in history, but she wasn't a child, so sometimes when making decisions, she would consider some worse scenarios.
Although Xiao Guoluo Luoshi truly admires her older sister and genuinely likes her, her expression is undeniable, and she cannot deceive herself.
Even if she could fool herself, she couldn't fool Consort Yi, who had been in the palace for so many years. Of course, it's also possible that Consort Yi had a bias towards her sister.
But people's hearts can change. Right now, she thinks that she only wants protection when she enters the palace and doesn't want to rise in rank. But will she still think that way in the future? What if she gives birth to a prince or princess? Will she think about competing for the emperor's favor for the sake of her child?
Just like the gossip my cousin told me before, there was a man from a family outside the palace who, after his wife passed away, married her younger sister. He thought that since his wife's younger sister was left behind by the previous wife, she would at least be the aunt of his children and would definitely take good care of them.
As a result, the new wife gained a good reputation, but in reality, she had been abusing her first few children in private.
This matter seems to have been exposed several years ago. However, the eldest son of the woman in question had already been raised to be a spoiled brat, and her youngest daughter was so timid and weak that even Yi Jing couldn't change her temperament...
