Hearing the little palace maid's words, Su Wanti was surprised and said with a smile, "I have been in the palace for less than a month, how could I save your life?"
The little palace maid said crisply, "Your Majesty, you saved my life before I entered the palace."
After saying that, she raised her head so that Su Wanti could see clearly.
The little palace maid was fair and clean, with long and slender eyebrows and eyes, and looked very delicate and smart.
After hearing her words, Su Wanti remembered it, and when she looked at her appearance again, she was immediately confirmed.
The little palace maid was the abducted girl she had rescued from Nanny Qin's house when she was in the Su Mansion.
"It's you. I remember you. How did you get into the palace?" Su Wanti asked her with a smile.
Ye Zi said, "To be honest, Your Majesty, after I escaped from that old woman's house, I finally found my aunt's home. My aunt and uncle run a small shop in the capital. They knew that I was bought by the housekeeper of the Su Mansion. They were afraid that the housekeeper would use the power of the master's family to bring people to take me back. So they used some money to send me to the palace."
"I thought, since there's no one left in my hometown, and I'm worried about staying in the capital, I might as well go to the palace. First, I can completely avoid that nanny, and second, I can at least earn some money and support myself without having to rely on others."
Su Wanti's mind moved slightly, as she just happened to be short of people around her.
This girl is grateful and has a decisive and brave character. It would be better to keep her by your side and use her for your own purposes.
"It's actually because our Su family didn't discipline us enough that you were almost harmed. I let you go that day because I felt guilty and didn't expect anything in return. Today, you risked your life to save me in this moment of danger, and I must repay this favor."
She leaned forward slightly, looked at Ye Zi, and spoke in a gentle and sincere voice.
"You and I are destined to be together. How about I transfer you here to be my personal maid? Are you willing?"
"If you don't want to, I can transfer you to a less stressful place so you can live more comfortably in the palace. If you encounter any problems, you can come to me. How about that?"
Su Wanti wanted a trustworthy companion, so she gave her two paths and let her choose.
Ye Zi was very straightforward. She said directly without hesitation:
"I am willing to be a maidservant beside the Empress. I do not consider myself stupid. I do not want to do menial labor and sweep the Imperial Lake for the rest of my life. I want to follow the Empress and do my best for her."
Su Wanti nodded. "That's good. You can go back to your residence and pack up in a while. I'll ask Qingye to go back with you and tell your supervisor, Madam."
At this time, Qingye, who had been standing nearby, reminded her, "Your Majesty, we still need to ask the Empress for instructions..."
Su Wanti smiled and said, "It's my fault. I was so happy that I forgot about it. I'll go and tell the Empress tomorrow. Ye Zi, you should go back and wait for a day or two. If the Empress agrees, I'll immediately ask Qingye to call you over."
Ye Zi smiled with her eyebrows curved, and said in a clear and crisp voice:
"Okay, then I will wait for your good news."
At this moment, footsteps were heard outside the door.
"Sister Su, you can make the decision on this little matter yourself." The queen walked in with a smile.
Seeing the queen coming, Su Wanti hurriedly stood up to salute.
The Queen took a few quick steps, raised her arm, and said hurriedly, "No need to be polite. My sister has just been in trouble and her body is not fully recovered yet. Please don't get up."
After Su Wanti thanked her, the Queen sat down and greeted her a few times before sighing:
"Speaking of what happened today, I am also responsible. It was I who failed to manage the harem well, causing my sister to suffer."
Su Wanti hurriedly said, "The Queen has said too much. It was my fault. It has nothing to do with the Queen."
"You are quite sensible. No wonder the Emperor dotes on you and immediately made you a noble concubine and the head of a palace."
The Queen continued, "The Emperor has gifted you the Guanju Palace, but I'm thinking that since you're not fully recovered yet, it's not appropriate to move in now. I'd rather have someone renovate the Guanju Palace and move in once you're fully recovered. What do you think?"
Su Wanti certainly wouldn't object, "Everything is subject to the Queen's arrangements."
The queen was quite satisfied to see that she was respectful and obedient. She gave her a few more instructions and then got up and left.
The news that Su Wanti was named a noble concubine had already spread throughout the six palaces.
Someone had already been locked up in the room, smashing several vases and breaking a mouthful of silver teeth.
Among them, Chi Liangdi had the greatest resentment.
When she first entered the palace, she had the same status as Su Wanti, both were noble ladies.
She was also the first one to sleep with him.
Unexpectedly, overnight, Su Wanti became several levels higher than her.
Now, Su Wanti is a noble concubine and a queen, and is granted the right to live in Guanju Palace, becoming the mistress of the palace.
But she was still a little concubine, and she had to bow and greet Su Wanti when she saw her in the future. She felt dissatisfied.
But no matter how angry you are, you still have to do the superficial work.
After Chi Liangdi had a tantrum in her own palace, she still had to open the door and asked her personal maid to prepare gifts and go with her to visit Su Wanti.
When she arrived at the Yufu Palace, it was already quite lively.
Wencairen, Ning Changzai, Defei and the princess were all there.
When Chi Liangdi saw Concubine De and the princess, she was a little surprised. She knew that Su Wanti had made a big fuss in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion before entering the palace. She thought that Concubine De and the princess would dislike Su Wanti and would oppose her. She didn't expect Concubine De and the princess to come over.
She guessed correctly. Concubine De was dissatisfied with Su Wanti and didn't want to come. However, the emperor and the empress came to visit Su Wanti in person, and Concubine Shu and Concubine Xian also came. She was one of the four concubines and could not lose her composure.
