The conversation between the two came to an end, and Rong Enqing stood up and said goodbye.

Just as she turned around and hadn't taken a step forward, she heard Concubine Liang remind her from behind: "Madam, don't forget the gift I gave you."

Rong Enqing couldn't pretend to forget this time. He could only turn around and bow to thank her, carefully put the jade pendant in his arms, and then walked out of Concubine Liang's bedroom with the small jade bottle.

The jade pendant is not to be seen by anyone, but the small jade bottle is just the opposite. It can be used as a legitimate reason for Concubine Liang to summon her alone.

Rong Enqing was feeling depressed. As soon as he went out, he saw a familiar figure rushing towards him.

"How did you come?"

When Rong Enqing saw Nanny Zhou rushing over, her eyes instantly turned red. She felt a sense of grievance.

Although the two people's identities and status are very different in this life, in Rong Enqing's heart, Nanny Zhou is Zhou Xue, and Zhou Xue is her biological mother!

Seeing that she looked like she was about to cry, Nanny Zhou quickly said to the palace maid who was leading the way, "Maid, please go back. I will take Madam Rong to the Empress Dowager."

Seeing this, the maid in Concubine Liang's palace who was in charge of Song Rongenqing's return replied politely, "Then I'll have to trouble Madam Zhou. I'll go back and report to my queen."

"Maid, please."

The maid bowed and turned back.

Seeing the maid enter the palace and disappear, Rong Enqing looked at Madam Zhou in surprise, "I didn't expect you to be able to get along well in the palace! Didn't they say that servants from outside are not allowed to be brought into the palace? Even Xiu Zhang was left at the palace gate, how can you walk around freely in the palace?"

Nanny Zhou winked at her, signaling her not to stop outside Concubine Liang's bedroom.

Rong Enqing understood and hurried forward. Nanny Zhou followed closely behind him, a small step behind.

After walking a distance, Nanny Zhou said, "The Princess of Anyang entered the palace and didn't see you. After asking, she learned that you were taken away by Concubine Liang. The Princess wanted to come and find you in person, but the Empress Dowager hadn't seen the Princess for a long time and wouldn't let her go. So, I came to look for you."

Rong Enqing nodded, still puzzled, "How could you follow the county lady into the palace? And walk around the palace freely. I saw that the maid in Concubine Liang's palace seemed familiar with you. How did you do it?"

Nanny Zhou glanced at Rong Enqing with contempt. Fortunately, Rong Enqing didn't have eyes behind his back, otherwise he would have been depressed again.

"Do you think everyone is as useless as you?" Madam Zhou said unhappily, "The first time I entered the palace, I received a token from the Empress Dowager, which allowed me to enter and leave the palace at will, and to walk around the palace at will."

"What?" Rong Enqing looked back at Nanny Zhou in disbelief, "The Queen Mother actually gave you something like this? Tsk tsk, it seems that the Queen Mother likes Princess Anyang very much!"

Nanny Zhou rolled her eyes and said with some pride: "The county lady doesn't have this token either. Only I have it."

"Huh?" Rong Enqing was dumbfounded again. "The Queen Mother likes the County Lady so much, shouldn't she give the token to the County Lady? Why didn't she give it to the County Lady, but gave it to you instead?"

Suddenly, Rong Enqing had an idea and asked in confusion, "That's not right! When did you enter the palace to see the Queen Mother? Didn't they say that servants outside the palace are not allowed to enter the palace? How did you enter the palace for the first time?"

Nanny Zhou sighed and shook her head helplessly, "You are still the dumbest one in our family."

Rong Enqing lowered his head and did not argue, waiting for Nanny Zhou's explanation.

"When Princess Anyang entered the palace for the first time, I followed her into the palace."

Rong Enqing thought about it and realized that it should be after the flower-viewing banquet at the Shun'an Marquis' Mansion. The Anyang County Princess beat Liang Yulan and others in public at the banquet and was reported to Concubine Liang by the Liang family.

The matter became a big deal, and then Princess Anyang was summoned to the palace.

"This is the first time the county lady has come to the capital, and it is also her first time to enter the palace. Should I accompany her? Although the palace has its own rules, the rules are dead, and people are alive."

Nanny Zhou seemed to have thought of something funny, and she smiled with her hands covering her mouth. Then she continued, "The county lady was showing off her power at the palace gate, saying that if I can't follow her into the palace, she won't go in. At worst, the Empress Dowager can chop off her head, and she can go to the underworld to reunite with her parents."

When Rong Enqing thought about the situation, he couldn't help but feel that, well, this was the style of the Princess of Anyang County. However, "Didn't you try to persuade her?"

"Why should I persuade her?" Nanny Zhou said with a smile, "I just want to follow the county lady into the palace, so I accompany her out. Otherwise, when have you ever seen me take the initiative to follow the county lady out of the house?"

Rong Enqing thought about it and it made sense. Usually, it was Ruhua and Tingqin who went out with Princess Anyang. Unless it was necessary, Nanny Zhou rarely went out.

"Then why did the Queen Mother give you the token?" Rong Enqing asked again, "The Queen Mother likes the County Princess, shouldn't she give the token to the County Princess?"

Madam Zhou frowned and said unhappily, "Are you looking down on me too much?"

Rong Enqing was confused, "What do you mean?"

"From the beginning to the end, you have been wrong about one thing! The Queen Mother did not reward me with the token because she liked Princess Anyang. On the contrary, the Queen Mother treated Princess Anyang differently because of me!"

As Madam Zhou spoke, she unconsciously raised her chin and straightened her back. That proud posture instantly brought Rong En back to his dream before he traveled through time.

The beauty Zhou Xue at that time, her skills, abilities, looks and style were really no exaggeration!

When she was a teenager in junior high school, Zhou Xue was already in her thirties. Every time she went out with Zhou Xue, people would praise her, "Your sister is so beautiful!" "Your sister is so elegant!" "Does your sister have a boyfriend?" "Your sister..." "Your sister..."

God knows, the "sister" those people are talking about is actually her biological mother!

I don't know if it's because she was born weak, but every time she hears others praise Zhou Xue, she doesn't get angry or jealous, but instead feels a sense of pride! It doesn't matter if she's not excellent, as long as her mother is excellent enough!

Every time she heard her talk like this, Zhou Xue would scold her, calling her a loser and a loser. But she was still happy. There was nothing she could do, because everything Zhou Xue said was right! She just wanted to be a loser who clung to her mother and had no ambition!

Rong Enqing's thoughts flew back to the time before he traveled through time. He was dazed for a moment and didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing her dumbfounded look, Nanny Zhou shook her head and helplessly changed the subject: "What happened to you just now? What did Concubine Liang say to you? Why do you look absent-minded?"

When this was mentioned, Rong Enqing's thoughts were instantly pulled back to reality. With red eyes, he looked at Madam Zhou aggrievedly and said, "Zhou Xue, Concubine Liang wants me to send my granddaughter to the palace as a hostage for her!"
