"This servant believes that Your Highness should not do this!"
After listening to Consort De's words, Granny Du pondered for a moment before slowly speaking, "Your Majesty knows that I am skilled in judging people. When Ulanara first entered the palace, I examined her face and found that she was destined for a short life and early death! She is destined to have a son, but he is destined to die young."
"But when I saw Ulanara the other day, I noticed that her appearance had changed!"
"This servant can't see through Ulanara's face!"
When Granny Du said these words, her expression was actually somewhat flustered.
Defying fate has always existed only in legends.
In this vast palace, there were very few people whose faces Du Mama couldn't see clearly.
For example, she couldn't see through Consort De's appearance, so she chose to follow Consort De, assist her, and help Consort De rise step by step.
Is that so?
Consort De's expression was rather unpleasant.
This time, she specially prepared a banquet, but the people she was supposed to invite refused to attend, which was truly embarrassing.
If she doesn't do something, what will others think of her?
"Your Majesty, a small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"
Granny Du spoke again.
After much deliberation, Consort De finally shook her head and said, "Why should I tolerate this? Since this Ulanara clan member is so ungrateful, then go and summon Song and Li!"
"Your Majesty...?"
"Granny Du, I know what I'm doing. You may go!"
Consort De glared at Granny Du, quite displeased with Granny Du's self-righteousness.
Seeing that Consort De was somewhat angry, Granny Du quickly obeyed the order and bowed as she withdrew.
"Nonsense!"
After Du Mama left, Consort De muttered coldly to herself. While Du Mama's guidance certainly played a part in her rise to one of the Four Consorts, ultimately it was because she was exceptionally talented.
On the contrary, Granny Du is becoming more and more self-righteous, and even tries to control her thoughts, which is truly absurd.
"And Ulanara, does she really think that just because she's pregnant with the fourth prince's child, she can jump to the heavens? She's an ignorant fool!"
Consort De snorted coldly in her heart, deciding to indulge Rong Xi's self-righteousness.
From the moment she became one of the four imperial concubines, no one dared to treat her so disrespectfully.
If we don't teach this Ulanara clan a lesson, she won't know the meaning of the word "respect".
...
When Granny Du came to the courtyard belonging to the Fourth Prince for the second time and easily persuaded the Fourth Prince's two concubines to leave, Rong Xi naturally received the news well in advance.
"Your Majesty, this is terrible! Consort De is definitely angry!"
When Magpie learned that Granny Du had invited Consort Li and Consort Song to the banquet, she immediately understood that this was Consort De's way of showing off.
Rong Xi remained calm and said, "If she's angry, so be it. Do you expect me to coax her?"
Rong Xi completely looked down on Consort De's petty tricks.
"Alright, stop thinking about that. I need to start cultivating!"
Rong Xi waved her hand, dismissing the magpie.
"Master, you have five spiritual roots!"
The magpie grew anxious, "Cultivating with five spiritual roots is a dead end, you..."
"go out!"
Rong Xi glared and pointed towards the door. "I've spoiled you too much! When did it become your place to tell me what to do?"
"Get out of here immediately!"
"This time, I'll let it slide. But if it happens again, you won't need to serve me anymore!"
Upon Rong Xi's display of power, the magpie immediately shut its mouth and obediently retreated.
However, the girl's face was full of grievances, and tears were welling up in her eyes. She had served Ulanara for several years, and if nothing unexpected happened, she would continue to serve Ulanara before her marriage.
This was the first time in all these years that she had been reprimanded like this.
Rong Xi offered no explanation, nor did she try to stop her.
Magpies are indeed very endearing in nature. However, this is the imperial palace. There are too many rules here, and if this girl is allowed to live so carefree, she will one day bring about her own demise.
...
With Granny Rui and Granny Xiang guarding outside the room, what happened inside could not be kept from them.
As the magpie left the room, tears fell.
Granny Rui sighed and followed behind Magpie, preparing to teach Magpie manners properly from her own experience.
In this palace, laughter is permitted, but crying is forbidden.
If someone were to see the magpie in its current state, it could cause trouble.
When Granny Rui and Granny Xiang were brought to Rongxi by the Fourth Prince, the two women noticed Xique's lack of manners. Just imagine, which maid would dare not stay by her mistress's side at all times? Only Xique, knowing that Rongxi was pregnant with the Fourth Prince's child, could still run off to play.
"Granny Rui, that can't be the master!"
While Granny Rui was advising Magpie to follow the rules, Magpie suddenly glared at Granny Rui and said, "Master must have been possessed by someone! Before, Prince said that it wasn't Master!"
"Master, you would never do this to me!"
Magpie looked at Granny Gui and spoke with unusual firmness.
Granny Rui sighed and said, "Magpie, do you know what kind of trouble you'll cause if you say these things?"
"I……"
The magpie was stunned.
Possession!
This could be a matter of life and death!
At that point, even for the sake of the palace's safety, Ulanara would have to be imprisoned. If her innocence could not be proven, she might be imprisoned for life.
"Your wife treats you like a sister. This reprimand is for your own good!"
"This is the palace; the rules are absolute!"
"You still think you can be in charge of things for the Princess Consort? You get scolded by her a couple of times and you start crying. Don't you know that in this palace, you're allowed to laugh but not cry?"
...
Granny Rui gave Magpie a stern and profound lecture.
"But, Granny Rui, our master has five spiritual roots and cannot cultivate!"
Magpie was still somewhat unwilling, "This servant is only doing this for the good of my mistress. Even Empress Renxiao couldn't do it, so my mistress..."
"You have no right to interfere in the affairs of the Princess Consort!"
Granny Rui's face turned cold. As someone who was usually all smiles, her sudden coldness really startled Magpie.
"I don't want to say that a second time!"
Granny Rui snorted. "Go back and reflect on your actions. If you still can't figure it out, then go back to where you came from!"
"So that one day I might make a grave mistake and lose my life, and the Princess Consort would be heartbroken!"
Granny Rui had always thought that magpies were very intelligent, but now she realized that this girl was just silly and cute.
...
Rong Xi was unaware that Granny Rui was instructing Xi Que; she was currently examining the cultivation technique in her memory. This was a technique given to Ulanara by the mysterious old woman, and it was this technique that caused Ulanara's death.
"The Primordial Chaos Technique, a secret manual?"
"What a harmful thing!"
This cultivation method is currently the only one that can be practiced by those with five spiritual roots. However, none of those who practice the Hunyuan Technique have been able to achieve a good ending.
