"Well, you are right, that is exactly what I meant. Nanny Dai, you should go to the Prime Minister's Residence in person. Remember to invite Madam Jiang to the Cining Palace, and don't neglect the mother of Concubine Xian." Nanny Dai nodded slightly to show her agreement.
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'll do it right away," Nanny Dai replied respectfully, then turned and left, not daring to delay even a moment. She knew the importance of this mission and had to rush to the Prime Minister's Mansion and take Madam Jiang to the Cining Palace.
Nanny Dai knew that Madam Jiang was of noble status and that she could not bear the responsibility if anything went wrong. Finally, after a lot of running around, she arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion.
The guards at the door didn't recognize Madam Dai and stopped her, asking what she wanted. Madam Dai explained her identity to the guards, who quickly saluted and informed the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion. A short while later, the Prime Minister's housekeeper came out to greet Madam Dai. After a few pleasantries, Madam Dai explained her purpose.
After hearing this, the housekeeper immediately arranged for someone to prepare a carriage to the palace and took Nanny Dai to the main hall of the prime minister's residence. Madam Jiang had been waiting at the door of the hall for a long time.
"Greetings, Madam Jiang!" Nanny Dai bowed and said, "The Empress Dowager invites Madam Jiang to the Cining Palace for a conversation. Please follow me."
"Thank you, Madam." Madam Jiang responded politely and gratefully. They got on the carriage together. The driver whipped the horses all the way to the palace without any obstruction. Soon they arrived at the gate of Cining Palace. Madam Dai got off the carriage first and then invited the Prime Minister's wife to get out. Madam Jiang was wearing the clothes of a first-rank imperial lady, which was luxurious and decent. She followed Madam Dai into the inner hall of Cining Palace.
When the Queen Mother saw Madam Jiang arrive, the old nanny beside her hurriedly took up the Queen Mother's hand, stood up and walked towards Madam Jiang to greet her. When the two approached, Madam Jiang immediately knelt down to greet the Queen Mother: "Your humble servant pays homage to the Queen Mother. May the Queen Mother live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years." "No need to be polite, Madam Jiang, please stand up," the Queen Mother said gently, taking Madam Jiang's hand and motioning her to sit down first. She told her about Jiang Meiyu's pregnancy and poisoning, and said: "Madam Jiang, Yu'er is a blessed child, blessed by God. You can relax, nothing will happen to her. The Emperor will not let anyone who harms her go. You can stay in the Cining Palace first, and you and your daughter will meet in a few days."
