My elder sister forced me to change my marriage? I became the favorite in the harem by eating melons
Chapter 9 Can Nanny Zhang be trusted?
"My lady, can you trust that Madam Zhang?"
Nanny Zhang had just left Kunning Palace. Qiu'er looked at her master's nonchalant expression and was filled with worry.
Before the queen entered the palace, the lady specially called her into the room and told her some things.
As the empress's personal servant, she grew up with the empress.
She understood the lady's intention.
Although she was just a servant, she held a great importance in the lady's heart.
Now that the young lady's status has risen, she can no longer be so unscrupulous in saying certain things or speaking certain things in front of the Empress.
But she is different because she is the lady's personal servant.
She is the young lady's trusted maid.
So compared to anyone else, the lady must trust her and rely on her more.
This is also the reason why the lady called her into the room and gave her many instructions before she entered the palace.
Qiu Er hesitated for a moment, then said, "Although Nanny Yue is someone close to Madam and is highly valued by Madam, so it is inevitable that she has a strange temper, but after all, she came from the Prime Minister's Mansion with Madam, so her heart must be inclined towards the Prime Minister's Mansion. Although what she said was unpleasant, it was also for Madam's sake."
"Your Majesty, why would you rather trust Nanny Zhang, whom you have only met once in the palace, than Nanny Yue?"
"Madame Zhang is an old lady in the palace. Even the eunuchs with higher titles than her would give her some respect. Not to mention the maids and eunuchs who have just entered the palace under her charge. Which one of them doesn't respect her?"
At this point, Yu Huan looked up at her and said, "It's really rare to find someone with such character in the palace. Even outside the palace, it's rare to find someone like her. She can't be compared to Nanny Yue."
Having said that, Qiu'er still spoke with some worry: "But she is a member of the palace after all. Before entering the palace, Madam repeatedly told me that apart from me and Nanny Yue, Madam is worried that the queen is simple-minded and kind-hearted, and will be used by someone who has an opportunity to take advantage of her."
She understood Qiu'er's worries.
Yu Huan just chuckled and stopped answering Qiu'er's question. Instead, he sat there and began to concentrate on looking at the account book in his hand.
"I have just entered the palace. Whether it is the messy account books in the harem or the women in the harem, they are all very difficult for me. Now I just need to do a good job of classification, but this classification cannot be completed by me alone."
"This palace needs manpower, and this manpower includes not only you, but also the people in this palace. Madam Zhang is the most suitable person.
"But……"
Qiu'er seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, obviously having her own concerns.
"I know what you want to say."
"I just suspect..."
"Madame Zhang said that on purpose to take advantage of the Madam. At first, I thought that Madam Zhang was a good person, but later she said that to instigate the Madam and encourage her to go against Concubine Xia. She knew that the Madam had just entered the palace and her foundation was not stable. Even if she was the Queen, the Madam in the harem could do whatever she wanted. As long as she was of the third rank or above, and her family was in the court, she would be an important official of Da Xiliang and highly valued by the Emperor!"
"Although our Yu family is not bad, one official cannot defeat hundreds of officials after all."
"Even this kind of thing can be seen by this servant, let alone Aunt Zhang. She has been in the palace for decades and has seen all kinds of storms. Using the Empress as a pawn is obviously bullying the Empress because she knows nothing. She has just entered the palace and is letting the Empress offend people. I don't believe that she is really talking nonsense."
If it was a young maid who had just entered the palace, perhaps she would be willing to believe it, after all, she had just entered the palace and was outspoken. She had not experienced any intrigue in the palace, her mind was simple, and she said whatever she wanted, but Nanny Zhang was an old lady in the palace after all.
She has seen all kinds of storms in the palace over the years, yet she could actually say such words.
It was hard for her not to doubt Aunt Zhang's intentions.
Qiu'er thought that her words would make the queen pay attention to her, but she didn't expect that her queen would just smile after hearing her words. She even explained for Aunt Zhang: "What if she really just said it casually?"
Qiu'er looked at her mother in disbelief.
Before entering the palace, her madam told her that no one in the entire harem had a simple mind. Nanny Zhang had been in the harem for so many years, how could she really be so outspoken and speak her mind casually?
Yu Huan casually flipped through the account book in his hand without looking up. He said calmly, "Qiu'er, I know your concerns. It's a good thing not to think too simply of people. But you shouldn't think too complicatedly of people's hearts."
"There are no absolutely good people in the harem, but there are also no absolutely bad people. Nanny Zhang has been in the palace for so many years, and her reputation in the harem is very good. This shows that if Nanny Zhang was not truly upright, she would not have been praised by everyone in the harem."
Qiu'er wanted to say something else.
Yu Huan put down the account book in his hand.
"Madame Yue has been out there for quite some time. Do you know that it's wrong?"
Seeing that his own queen had shifted the topic to Nanny Yue.
Qiu Er responded immediately: "To answer your Majesty, Nanny Yue probably knows she is wrong. When I left just now, she glanced at me and said nothing."
If it was in the past, with Nanny Yue's temper, how could she just look at me? I'm afraid she would have scolded me a long time ago.
After all, he knew how much Nanny Yue looked down on him.
Hearing this, Yu Huan paused and said, "Let her in."
"Yes, ma'am."
……
Soon, Nanny Yue came in from outside led by Qiu'er.
Compared to the disdainful and unconvinced expression on Nanny Yue's face today, after experiencing the torture for most of the night, she has indeed restrained herself a lot.
After coming in, Nanny Yue first knelt on the ground and saluted respectfully towards Yu Huan: "Your Majesty the Queen."
Her voice was very hoarse, like the sound of paper rubbing against the ground, hoarse and unpleasant.
She hadn't said much today, and she didn't say a word when she knelt outside the temple during the day, but when she was called up at night, her voice was already hoarse. It was obvious how angry she was about this incident, and she really didn't dare to vent her anger.
Taking a look at Nanny Yue's frustrated expression, Yu Huan couldn't help but smile in his heart.
She knew Nanny Yue too well.
Having been with Yu Yun for so many years, she has been deeply valued by Yu Yun. On weekdays, Nanny Yue is like a crab, able to walk sideways in the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Who among the servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion dares to offend her?
Who wouldn't be respectful and cautious in front of her?
Apart from Yu Yun, even her father would give some face to Nanny Yue for Yu Yun's sake.
Today's incident had indeed made Nanny Yue very angry, because Yu Huan knew Nanny Yue's arrogance too well.
