Dolan left indignantly, feeling that Hexue was somewhat ungrateful and could always monopolize the Crown Prince. She wondered how Tongjia had taught Hexue.
The Crown Prince is the future heir apparent, and he can't just have her by his side. Although the Crown Prince doesn't have any concubines now, it's only because he and He Xue have only been married for a short time. Once the Crown Prince's novelty wears off, He Xue will have her day.
Dolan felt that Hexue's disregard for her meant disregard for the Empress Dowager, so she decided to go to Cining Palace to tell the Empress Dowager about Hexue's usurpation of the Crown Prince.
She knew that the Empress Dowager couldn't stand anyone being the sole favorite and would definitely give He Xue a warning. She took the opportunity to let He Xue know that although she was just a servant, she was not a servant that He Xue couldn't afford to offend.
When Granny Dolan arrived at Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had just taken her medicine and was resting.
When Granny Su heard that Granny Duolan had arrived, she thought that something had happened to Xue, so she hurriedly came out to see Granny Duolan.
Dolan then told Su about He Xue's behavior with exaggerated details.
Upon hearing this, Granny Su was furious and looked at Granny Dolan with displeasure. "Dolan, the Empress Dowager sent you to take care of the Crown Princess, not to manage the Crown Prince's room. The Crown Prince can go wherever he wants."
You just need to do your job well; we servants shouldn't interfere in our master's affairs.
The Crown Princess addresses you as "Nanny" out of respect for the Empress Dowager. If you don't accept that, you'll become arrogant and think you can boss the Crown Princess around.
All you need to do is take good care of the Crown Princess. Once she gives birth safely, the Empress Dowager will definitely reward you handsomely.
Dolan was surprised by Su's words. She thought Su would go with her to teach Hexue a lesson, but she was met with a cold shoulder.
"I'm doing this for the Crown Prince's own good. The Crown Princess is hogging the Crown Prince..." Granny Dolan wanted to argue a few more words.
"Alright!" Granny Su interrupted impatiently. "You don't need to worry about this. The Crown Prince knows what he's doing. If you have nothing else to do, hurry back to your work."
Seeing this, Granny Dolan had no choice but to leave Cining Palace dejectedly. But she did not give up; she decided to wait until the Empress Dowager woke up before reporting the matter to her.
On her way back to Yuqing Palace after leaving Cining Palace, Dolan met Consort Liang.
"This old servant greets Consort Liang!" said Granny Duolan, bowing to Consort Liang.
"You're too kind, Granny! Qiu Xin, quickly help Granny up!" Consort Liang said with a warm smile.
"Thank you, Consort Liang!" said Granny Duolan.
"Didn't the old nanny go to Yuqing Palace to take care of the Crown Princess?" Consort Liang asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing Consort Liang's words, Granny Duolan seemed to have found an outlet for her emotions and recounted everything that had happened before.
After hearing this, Consort Liang sighed and said, "Granny, don't take it to heart. The Crown Princess is just too young and a bit willful. Once she suffers, she will understand your good intentions!"
"If only the Crown Princess were as sensible as Her Majesty!" said Granny Dolan with a smile.
"You flatter me, Granny. You're a senior member of the Empress Dowager's inner circle. The Crown Princess still needs your guidance!" Consort Liang said, feigning concern for He Xue.
"From Lao Nu Province!"
"I won't keep you any longer, Granny!"
"This old servant takes her leave!" Dolan-mama curtsied to Consort Liang before heading towards Yuqing Palace.
Inside Yuqing Palace, Qingdai said, "Your Highness, Granny Duolan really wants to go to Cining Palace!"
"Did you go to the Empress Dowager to complain?" He Xue didn't seem to care much about this.
"Princess Consort, will the Empress Dowager blame you for this?" Xia Bing was worried that the Empress Dowager had listened to what Granny Dolan said and would also blame He Xue.
"Don't worry, the Empress Dowager won't be swayed by one side's words!" The Empress Dowager wouldn't do anything to her just because of a few words from Granny Dolan.
"Your Highness, our messengers just told us that the Ninth Princess has gone to the Imperial Garden!" Qingdai told Hexue the news she had received.
"In that case, let's go for a walk in the Imperial Garden!"
So Xia Bing and Qing Dai accompanied He Xue to the Imperial Garden.
