Ni Yueshan didn't want to enter the palace to see her aunt Concubine Wan, but Jing Yuchen also reminded her that meeting Concubine Wan was the same as meeting the queen, so she needed to enter the palace obediently.
As expected, being the child of an official is so helpless!
Inside the palace, Ni Yueshan bowed down to Concubine Wan.
"Greetings, Madam Wan."
"There are no outsiders here, no need to perform formalities, just stand up."
"Thank you, Concubine Wan."
Concubine Wan was dressed in a lotus-colored silk palace dress and wore an exquisite and gorgeous hairpin on her head. Her every frown and smile was graceful and elegant, yet gave people a gentle and friendly feeling.
But she suggested that Miao Yuan poison herself, and Ni Yueshan felt that Concubine Wan would not be a good person...
"Look at you, you're just so well behaved."
Concubine Wan pointed to the seat opposite: "Come here and have some tea."
Ni Yueshan walked over slowly and came to the ancient times. Although she had drunk a lot of good tea, she had no knowledge of tea ceremony and really didn't know what good tea was.
"Empress Wan, does Yueshan come to see the Queen today?"
"The Second Prince spoke up for you last time, and the Queen has already learned about it. The Second Prince seems to be interested in winning you over. Naturally, this is your best opportunity to get close to the Queen. It's an honor for you that the Queen is willing to see you!"
Ni Yueshan sat opposite Concubine Wan and did not feel restrained. She just thought, not everyone cares about wealth and glory, right?
"Concubine Wan, Yueshan is a woman, unlike men. If she is won over, it would be nepotism. However, Yueshan is ugly and was once a divorced woman. She simply does not have the ability to stabilize the Second Prince's heart. Therefore, Yueshan may not be able to..."
"Silly child, you have the Prime Minister's Mansion behind you. Being a useful woman is much better than being a vase with only good looks!"
Concubine Wan placed a cup of tea in front of Ni Yueshan, and Ni Yueshan smelled a fragrance. Concubine Wan's words meant that she had no intention of asking her what she wanted.
Perhaps Concubine Wan’s thoughts were the same as Miao Yuan’s. She only thought about wealth and glory, and had no idea that ordinariness was the truth.
Inside Kunning Palace, Ni Yueshan was summoned. Ni Yueshan knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully: "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."
"Get up. I heard you were coming a long time ago, but I wanted you and Concubine Wan to stay a little longer, so I called you late. Come and sit down."
"Thank you, Queen."
Ni Yueshan stood up. What he hated most was the rules in the palace. Things like kowtowing were considered as offering sacrifices to the dead!
Ni Yueshan glanced at the queen in front of him. She was wearing a brown palace dress with floral patterns. She was graceful and luxurious, with a dignified demeanor and quite majestic. She was actually playing chess with him.
Seeing Ni Yueshan's eyes fall on the chessboard, the queen smiled and asked: "Do you know how to play chess?"
"I don't know how to play Go, but I know Gobang!"
The Queen was puzzled, "What is Gobang?"
Afterwards, Ni Yueshan recounted the rules of the game. Ni Yueshan mentioned these things just to change the topic so that he could feel more relaxed staying with the Queen.
The queen found it interesting and started playing it with Ni Yueshan.
After two games of chess, the Queen had become a master at chess, and Ni Yueshan lost miserably in just a few moves.
"I was so busy playing chess that I forgot. I asked the imperial kitchen to prepare blood bird's nest for you to enjoy today."
Then the queen looked at the palace maid beside her, and the palace maid went down to bring the bird's nest.
The queen treated her with such delicious food, but Ni Yueshan knew that the queen's food was not tasty.
"Yueshan, I have seen you before, but you only had eyes for General Zou. Naturally, I cannot interfere in your marriage. Now that you have lost your husband, you have to find a new one!"
Ni Yueshan lowered her head and said, "Empress, I have just come out of this situation and haven't recovered yet. I don't plan to look for a husband for the time being!"
The Queen affectionately took Ni Yueshan's hand and said, "You're right. This will take time. It's just right. You can use this time to heal your face!"
Ni Yueshan looked at the Queen in astonishment: "The Queen has medicine?"
The queen released her grip on Ni Yueshan's hand and said, "Of course there is, but it's with Yuchen."
Ni Yueshan was stunned, Jing Yuchen...
When Jing Yuchen forced her to release Yang Wanyan, Ni Yueshan held a grudge! But now, it felt like things had changed.
"I understand. Thank you, Queen."
After eating bird's nest in Kunning Palace, Ni Yueshan left.
Ni Yueshan didn't want to stay in the palace for a moment longer. As for the medicine for treating her face, Ni Yueshan was not in a hurry.
The original owner's mother was a great beauty after all. If she looked like that, she would be in trouble all the time. It would be better for her to just bear with her ugly appearance and relax for a while.
As soon as Ni Yueshan returned to the Prime Minister's Residence, a figure rushed over and said, "Yueshan, my dear Yueshan, please be kind and show mercy to your second sister and let her go!"
Ni Yueshan looked at Tian You in astonishment: "Should I show mercy and let my second sister go?"
"Yes, although my wounds haven't healed yet, I heard from the servants that it was Yue Shuang who was obsessed with murdering the Madam. She has been kneeling for so long, she must know she is wrong. Just let her out!"
Ni Yueshan looked at Tian You, who was always arrogant and crying like a tearful person. Ni Yueshan's eyes were complicated, but there was no mercy at all.
If a bad person admits her mistake, should we forgive her?
Isn't she too kind?
"Auntie Tian, I hope you can understand that it was my father who gave the order. You begged me to release him, but it seems you've found the wrong person!"
Ni Yueshan had a cold attitude and walked to the side.
Tian You still pleaded: "As long as you forgive your second sister, the master will definitely agree to release her. We are all family. Yueshan, please forgive your second sister!"
Ni Yueshan's expression was cold and indifferent: "She murdered my mother. If you want to resolve the resentment, then go and plead with my mother. As an elder, you seem to be flattering me by begging a younger person like this!"
Seeing that Ni Yueshan was firm in his attitude and refused to give in, Tian You cried even louder.
"How could you be so hard-hearted? I know. It must be because you are jealous that I am in charge of household affairs despite being a concubine, and that is why Yue Shuang was implicated. Then I will die now. When I die, Yue Shuang will be free!"
She crashed into the vermilion wooden pillar next to her. Her reaction was so different that Ni Yueshan was also confused.
The servants hurried forward to hold Tian You back: "Auntie Tian, calm down! Don't be impulsive!"
"Don't stop me, let me die! I can't watch my daughter starve and freeze in that ancestral hall, kneeling for a long time... Only after I die will Yueshan agree to release Yueshuang!"
Tian You has always been arrogant, but today, he is really strange.
Ni Yueshan didn't want to watch the farce anymore and was about to leave when a cry of surprise rang out from the doorway: "Little girl, what are you doing!"
The voice was clear and loud, and Ni Yueshan stopped in his tracks. Is it the eldest son of the prime minister?
Ni Yueshan turned around and looked...?
