After Lanqin left, Fourth Master sat alone in the room, lost in thought with a blank expression.
He was furious at what Lady Nian had done. He had refused her many times, but she ignored him and disregarded the emperor's authority.
In the inner palace, no one but Lady Nian dared to be so presumptuous and disrespectful.
The more Fourth Master thought about it, the angrier he became, but he still knew to suppress his anger. Now was definitely not the time to be angry with Madam Nian, and he could not afford to fall out with her under any circumstances.
Meanwhile, Lady Nian brought her young son Hongfu to the Yuanmingyuan Garden. It had been a while since she had been there, but the flowers and plants inside were still as familiar as before.
She longed for the Emperor, but she was also somewhat uneasy, wondering how the Fourth Prince would arrange things for her, and whether he would blame her.
Fortunately, Su Peisheng arrived shortly after she arrived.
Lady Nian smiled faintly at Su Peisheng, "Eunuch Su? Has His Majesty summoned me?"
Su Peisheng smiled and said, "His Majesty is busy right now and probably won't be able to see Your Highness for a while. But His Majesty said that it's so hot, why did Your Highness bring the young lady along? Wouldn't it be bad if she got too hot?"
Lady Nian was taken aback. From Su Peisheng's tone and his meaning, it seemed that the Fourth Master did not intend to blame her, so she felt somewhat relieved.
"What else did the Emperor say?" Lady Nian asked again.
Su Peisheng said, "His Majesty said that Your Highness should rest well at Changchun Immortal Pavilion."
Upon hearing this, Lady Nian raised her chin and smiled smugly, "I understand. Please trouble Eunuch Su to convey my gratitude to the Emperor."
Su Peisheng smiled, said nothing, and turned around to have the eunuchs and guards help Nian pack her things before heading to Changchun Immortal Hall.
Inside the Changchun Immortal Pavilion, Lady Nian glanced around and found it to be quite nice, clean and tidy. The Emperor still cared for her and the young prince, and although he was slightly displeased that she had left the palace without permission, he did not blame her.
When Lanqin arrived outside Changchun Immortal Hall, she saw a large group of guards, eunuchs, and palace maids standing in rows, and she knew that Lady Nian had arrived.
As expected of Consort Nian, what a grand procession! Thinking this, she entered the Changchun Immortal Pavilion.
The woman inside, surnamed Nian, was surprised that Lanqin had arrived so quickly. She glanced at her and Lanqin said, "Greetings, Your Highness, welcome."
Consort Nian smiled and gestured for the nanny to lead the young prince into the inner room. She then sat down in a chair and said, "Oh, your information network is really impressive. You knew I was here so quickly, and you even knew I was staying here."
That was a really sarcastic and unpleasant remark.
"Your Highness has just arrived, and I have come immediately. I hope I have not disturbed Your Highness's rest. If Your Highness needs any assistance, please let me know!" Lanqin said. Given her high rank, it was considered proper for her to come and pay her respects.
Consort Nian rolled her eyes. "I've already disturbed you, and you're still asking if I'm not sure if I'm disturbing you? Besides, I'm very familiar with the Yuanmingyuan!"
Lanqin pursed her lips and had no choice but to change the subject, saying, "Now that Your Highness the Imperial Concubine is here, please help me check the seating arrangements and procedures for the lotus appreciation event. If there are any problems, please give me your guidance."
Consort Nian nodded, looking indifferent, and lazily stretched out her palm, saying, "Hmm, let me see it!"
