I was a housekeeper in ancient times

Aunt Yan Wei smiled mysteriously, "Mom, do you still remember that I was released from the palace because I saved a princess in the palace?"

She nodded, "I remember, why?"

"The person I saved was Princess Zhaotang. Princess Zhaotang was the only daughter of the late Duke of Dongguo and the adopted daughter of Princess Yiyuan."

"what?"

She was stunned. With this relationship, Aunt Yan Wei could definitely go to the Princess's Mansion. Why would she come to a small mansion of the Marquis of Pingrong? And it was a mansion of a Marquis that had no one to inherit the title.

What does it mean that a true person does not reveal his true identity? The Bo family is simply blessed with a noble person. She even wants to kowtow to the Lady of Huiyang County.

I have to say that Lady Huiyang is really capable. She can even get such a person to be a foster aunt in the Earl's Mansion.

Wait, why would the only daughter of a duke be raised by Princess Yiyuan?

Aunt Yan Wei also said that Princess Zhaotang's biological mother was born to Princess Fuyuan, the younger sister of Princess Yiyuan. Princess Fuyuan and Duke Dongguo died early, and Princess Yiyuan did not want her sister's only daughter to suffer outside, so she took her daughter to raise her herself.

She nodded and looked at Wan Jie'er, "The situation is the same as ours, except that the third girl's biological mother is still alive."

When she arrived at the Princess's Mansion, she was truly enlightened. The mansion was magnificent and impressive, and she also saw what royal majesty was.

Just looking at the door, it was different from that of an ordinary wealthy family. The red door had copper locks and a strict hierarchy, which made a small person like her feel in awe. She didn't dare to act rashly and even dared not breathe.

After being passed through many levels, we were finally received in a pavilion.

She followed Aunt Yan Wei and Wan Jie'er, and did everything according to Aunt Yan Wei's instructions. Nothing would go wrong, and it didn't matter if there were mistakes. Who would care about an old maid like her?

In such a serious occasion, she couldn't help but secretly look up.

Sitting under the pavilion was a noble lady in her forties or fifties, dignified and generous, with a majestic aura without even getting angry. Her whole demeanor was different from that of an ordinary person, with exquisite makeup and gorgeous clothes, and it was obvious at first glance that she was not an ordinary person.

I guess this is the legendary Princess Yiyuan.

Next to Princess Yiyuan, there was a girl wearing a goose yellow gauze dress, who looked about the same age as Yu Muliu.

The first time she saw these two distinguished figures, she deeply realized what the royal majesty was. Moreover, there was really a gap between royal family members and ordinary people. The kind of arrogance that emanated from their bones was something that ordinary people did not have and could not learn.

"Aunt, there's no need to be so polite." Princess Zhaotang personally stepped forward to support her to show her respect.

"Thank you, Princess." Aunt Yan Wei also became reserved.

"Zhaotang often talks about you to me, and always asks you why you don't come to the house. I said, you have your own choice and you can't force it." Princess Yiyuan said.

Aunt Yan Wei was startled and quickly explained: "My princess, please forgive me. I just..."

Aunt Yan Wei, who was always calm and composed, was unexpectedly speechless at this moment.

Fortunately, Nanny Liu came to the rescue and said with a smile, "The princess is so greedy. It's not enough to have me come to the palace, she also wants my apprentice. My apprentice has a strange personality. She likes quietness and freedom. She has been suffocated in the palace for these years. She is looking forward to leaving the palace and flying around like a bird. No one can stop her. Even if I am reluctant, I have to let her go."

Princess Yiyuan nodded, "I'm sure the girl has grown up and has her own thoughts."

Just by asking Princess Yiyuan's question, Lin Weiqiao was already worried for Aunt Yan Wei. Although Princess Yiyuan asked in a kind tone without any blame, she could still feel the oppression brought by this sentence.

No wonder Aunt Yan Wei had to leave the palace at such a young age. If she didn’t leave, she might not live to old age.

She couldn't help but sigh. When she saw Madam Liu's reaction and Aunt Yan Wei's restraint, she knew that it was not easy to get along in the palace, and that people were being taken advantage of without leaving any bones.

Fortunately, she was transported to the Earl's Mansion. With her intelligence, it would be a blessing for her to survive for half a day in the palace.

It was really not easy for Liu Ma and her apprentice to escape from the palace intact. Moreover, they left at this critical moment, avoiding the disputes among the princes in the future. It was really smart.

Princess Yiyuan offered her a seat and asked how Aunt Yan Wei was doing in the Pingrong Marquis's residence. She also asked about Wan Jie'er and said, "I have seen the wife of the Pingrong Marquis. She is young and good-looking. I just don't know when she had a daughter this old?"

Aunt Yan Wei said: "The third girl is the adopted daughter of Marquis Pingrong's wife."

"Adopted daughter?"

"Yes, he was adopted from the sisters of Lady Pingrongbo."

Princess Yiyuan thought that Wan Jie'er was an orphan like Princess Zhaotang, and she looked at Wan Jie'er with pity, "Poor child, come to me. She is a well-behaved child, much better than Zhaotang."

Princess Zhaotang said coquettishly, "Mother! I am an adult, how can I compare myself with a child?"

After staying for more than an hour, Nanny Liu left a message and had a private conversation with Aunt Wei, and the others waited outside.

Wan Jie'er looked at the coral bracelet and the red gold tassel necklace given by Princess Yiyuan, which were extremely exquisite, "Mom, these things are so beautiful."

Lin Weiqiao said enviously: "Of course it's beautiful. There are no such things outside. Girl, you must keep it well."

No wonder Aunt Yan Wei wanted to bring Wan Jie'er with her. The more people she brings, the more rewards she will get. It is true that the atmosphere in the Princess's Mansion is serious, but the rewards are also real.

After coming out of the Princess's Mansion, they all breathed a sigh of relief and felt much more relaxed.

Lin Weiqiao also said: "I thought you grew up in the palace and were used to seeing all kinds of noble people, so you should be calm and fearless. I didn't expect you to be nervous too."

Aunt Yan Wei said honestly: "How can I not be afraid? One is in heaven and the other is on earth. If I say something wrong or do something wrong, I will be blamed at the least, and it's hard to say if I will be punished at the worst... No matter how kind the people above are, we, the slaves, can never be careless because of this."

"It's been hard in the palace these years, right?"

"It's just trembling with fear, treading on thin ice."

Aunt Yan Wei looked at the scenery outside the window. No one knew how she had survived all these years. Aunt Liu could protect her, but more often than not, she had to rely on herself.

When they returned home, Wan Jie'er sensibly said that she wanted to give the red gold tassel necklace to Fan Jie'er.

Yu Muyan said: "This is a reward from the princess. It is yours and you don't need to share it with your sisters." She also asked Lin Weiqiao about the princess's residence in Yiyuan.

Lin Weiqiao said one by one, "They are all good. The eldest princess even praised our sister, saying that the lady taught her well."

Yu Muyan hadn't seen Xing Ge'er for a few days and missed him so much that she wished she could see him every day, but it was not convenient for her to go to Qi's house every day.

Lin Weiqiao said: "That's easy. Madam, you haven't been to the embroidery workshop yet, right? Then ask someone to take my son to the embroidery workshop."
