Chapter 194

It was the first time for Xu's mother to enter the palace. Although she lived in the Eastern Palace, for Xu's mother, there was not much difference between the Eastern Palace and the Imperial Palace because the Eastern Palace was inside the Imperial Palace.

The bed board is so nice, it is made of golden nanmu wood, the quilt is golden brocade quilt, and even the footstool is embroidered with exquisite patterns.

Moreover, she had a little palace maid serving her by her side, who called her "Madame Xu" all the time, and it was so sweet. She had never thought that at her age she could actually become a maid in the palace.

"What's your name?" asked the little palace maid beside Xu's mother.

"Madam, my name is Xia Zhi." The little palace maid said with a smile.

Summer Solstice? That’s a nice name.

She looked at Xia Zhi's fair and tender face and couldn't help but stretched out her hand to pinch it a few times: "Oh my! What's wrong with your face? It's like a peeled egg."

"Hehe..." Xia Zhi smiled innocently, revealing two pointed little fangs, which made her look even cuter.

The food in the palace was especially delicious. One meal consisted of three dishes, a plate of fish soup, a dish of fried green beans, and some fried vegetables. Paired with the snow-white rice, it was very fragrant.

This was much better than her previous life.

And you don’t have to work, because someone will prepare and serve every meal to you, and they are never the same.

Mother Xu touched the material of the clothes on her body. It was such fine material. She had never worn clothes made of such fine material in her life.

"Mammy, our queen will be here soon. You must kowtow to her." Xia Zhi reminded Xu's mother.

"Don't worry, I know the rules of the palace."

Xu Chunhua had taught Xu's mother several times before.

Xu's mother thought that the person who would come later would be Xu Chunhua, but she didn't expect that it would be the former Crown Princess.

Mother Xu became a little nervous when she saw the former Crown Princess.

When she knelt on the ground with her head bowed, she did not dare to look up at the Crown Princess and could only glance at her secretly.

"Madam, please stand up without any formalities." The former Crown Princess smiled faintly and asked the madam to stand up.

"Thank you, empress."

Xu Chunhua walked to the chair and sat down.

Xu stood respectfully behind the former Crown Princess.

"Madam Xu, please sit down."

As soon as Xu sat down, she saw the former Crown Princess handing her a cup of tea in front of her: "Madam, how about trying the Biluochun tea I just brewed?"

"Thank you for the reward, empress."

Xu took the teacup and took a sip. She was a rough person and had never tasted tea before, so she couldn't tell the difference between good and bad tea. But she still knew how to say good things.

"Madam Xu, are you still used to living in the East Palace these days?"

Xu nodded quickly: "I am used to living here. This East Palace is just like a fairyland. I have never lived in such a comfortable house in my life. The Crown Princess and you treat me so well."

"That's good. Since the Crown Princess likes you, you will stay in the East Palace and accompany the Crown Princess. I have also brought your husband and children to the capital for you. When you recover, you can go back to see them."

The former Crown Princess said to Xu's mother with a smile.

The reason why she came to see Xu today was not just to chat, but because she had something to ask Xu.

"Your Majesty, I bow to you in thanks!" Mother Xu kowtowed in gratitude.

"Madam Xu, please get up quickly. I have come to ask you something."

"Your Majesty, please tell me. If I knew, I would tell you everything I know." Xu promised.

The Crown Princess first glanced at Xu, and then looked at the palace maid beside her.

They retreated tactfully.

After the Crown Princess saw them leave, she continued to say to Xu's mother: "I want to ask you about the details of how I picked up Xu Qiuyue eighteen years ago." After being stunned for a moment, Xu's mother told her about how she met Xu Qiuyue.

After listening to Xu's narration quietly, the former Crown Princess fell into deep thought.

Mother Xu thought about it carefully and realized that she was not lying.

She also didn't expect the former Crown Princess to ask about this.

Maybe he was thinking about his own daughter becoming a scapegoat for no apparent reason.

Maybe it’s because of Xu Chunhua’s coldness in the past few days.

Xu's mother found that Xu Chunhua was no longer reliable.

The palace maid Xia Zhi has been telling Xu's mother these days that these are rewards from the former Crown Princess, not from Xu Chunhua.

Xu's mother knew that Xu Chunhua might not want to recognize her.

So I put her here on purpose.

It is precisely because of this.

Xu's mother wants to find a new backer.

She wanted to live such a good life forever.

I heard that Xu Chunhua has ten main dishes for every meal, and they are never the same.

So many dishes, it's really a luxury.

She couldn't finish the three dishes every day, so she ate them with the palace maid Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was very kind to Xu's mother.

Everything Xu's mother said was true. She did not say whether her daughter was Xu Qiuyue or Xu Chunhua.

She only said that the moment she saw the woman, she didn't know why, but everything that happened afterwards became blurry and she couldn't remember anything. She couldn't think about it too much or it gave her a headache. She only knew that Xu Qiuyue was her adopted daughter.

Xu's mother said a lot. She gave birth while working in the fields. If it weren't for that woman helping her, she would not have been able to give birth safely.

She remembered that when she met him, she saw him holding a fetus in his arms.

But she couldn't remember what the other person looked like, not even whether he was beautiful or ugly.

There seemed to be a layer of mist on the woman's face.

Her face was covered by a layer of white mist.

"My Lady, I dare not think about that matter, and I cannot think about it. I have a feeling that if I force myself to think about it, I will probably become a madman."

Mother Xu knelt on the ground and spoke to the late Crown Princess.

"In my life, I have always been a follower of my husband. I never thought that I could enter the palace and live such a good life at my age. Although I was born a peasant woman, I can recognize a few words. I can still do some odd jobs for the queen in this palace."

Xu's mother was afraid that the former Crown Princess would drive her away.

The former prince helped Xu's mother up and said softly to her, "Madam Xu, don't worry. Since you have become a nanny in the East Palace, you can stay here as long as you don't want to leave. You should take good care of yourself here these days. The imperial physician said that you are too weak.

He prescribed some medicine to help you recuperate.

When you become the Donggong's nanny, no one will dare to disrespect you when you return home. The prince will then do you justice."

First, the Crown Princess emphasized the word "Crown Prince" and did not mention the Crown Princess.

"I bow to you, Madam Queen, and the Crown Prince. I will definitely plant a longevity tablet for you and the Crown Prince at home, and pray for you and the Crown Prince day and night."

The Crown Princess left Xu's mother's yard.

Before she left, she hinted to Xia Zhi not to let anyone get close to Xu's mother.

This time, she had new gains.
