On the day of my tragic death, I was reborn and married to the Regent
Chapter 101 is a bastard
Jiang Nian followed the nanny slowly, thinking about how to escape, but when he was almost out of the palace gate, nothing happened.
If she really followed this nanny today, she might not see the sun tomorrow.
As soon as I stepped out of the door, someone came towards me.
Jiang Nian's eyes widened. She knew this man; he was someone close to the empress dowager.
The nanny stopped the man and went into the palace.
When Concubine Chen saw the person, she immediately stood up to greet him: "Madam Yu, does the Empress Dowager have any instructions?"
Nanny Yu said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Empress Dowager has sent this old servant to invite the Concubine over."
No names were mentioned, but there was only one concubine here, Jiang Nian, so it was naturally her that was being referred to.
Concubine Chen asked with a smile, "Did the Queen Mother say what it was?"
Nanny Yu said sternly, "My Lady, although you are now in charge of the affairs of the harem, it is best for you not to ask about the affairs of the Empress Dowager."
Concubine Chen looked embarrassed and felt so frustrated that she could only let the person go.
"Since it's the Queen Mother who summoned you, then please take Concubine Jiang away."
Nanny Yu led the way, and Jiang Nian followed behind, walking very skillfully and with great speed.
Thinking back to the last time Prince Yan met the Queen Mother, there was a lot of noise in the inner hall.
The Queen Mother doesn't like Prince Yan, so naturally she won't like her either. If the Queen Mother throws cups at her, will she hide or not?
If she hid, the Queen Mother would definitely be even angrier, and there might be more punishments waiting for her. If she didn't hide... she couldn't bear this grievance.
Sad people.
Jiang Nian's legs were sore from walking all the way, and they finally arrived at the Empress Dowager's Yongning Palace.
Nanny Yu turned to look at her and said, "Please wait here for a moment, Concubine. I will go and report to the Empress Dowager first."
After standing at the door for a while, the nanny didn't come back, and Jiang Nian began to suspect that she had forgotten her.
Behind her was a palace maid. Amber stepped forward and quickly supported the person, and asked in a low voice: "Are you tired, young lady?"
"I'm a little tired."
After saying that, she glanced around and saw stone pillars on both sides of the wall, which was just enough for her to sit for a while.
The palace maids waiting on both sides were almost scared to death when they saw this. This Concubine Jiang was too bold. This was the Empress Dowager's bedroom.
When Nanny Yu came out, she saw this scene and was stunned for a moment.
I thought after waiting for so long, I would be a little nervous and anxious, but this guy just sat down directly.
Amber quickly apologized, "Madam, please forgive me. My concubine is not in good health and has to take medicine every day. I was tired just walking over here, and I was afraid that I would be impolite in front of the Empress Dowager if I went in, so I sat down and took my time."
Auntie: ...What else can she say?
But his expression changed after all. How could he have forgotten about this?
If I really get hurt, I will have a hard time explaining it to King Yan.
They quickly sent someone to bring a sedan chair, but they didn't dare let the man walk in.
Jiang Nian secretly gave Amber a thumbs up.
Jiang Nian felt much better after getting on the sedan chair. Yongning Palace was very big, and it took a long time to get in from the palace gate by sedan chair.
The sedan chair didn't stop until it reached the main hall.
Nanny Yu took her inside and stood at the door to report: "Replying to the Queen Mother, Concubine Jiang is here."
"Let her in." A majestic voice sounded.
Nanny Yu made a gesture to invite her in, and Jiang Nian walked in slowly.
As soon as I entered, I glanced up and saw Princess Huaining there.
Jiang Nian immediately knelt down and saluted: "Greetings to the Queen Mother, and to Princess Huaining."
"Get up."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Jiang Nian stood in the middle with his head down, waiting for the person above to speak.
The Queen Mother ignored her and instead asked Princess Huaining, "Do you know each other?"
Princess Huaining laughed and said, "You forgot that my cloak was mended by Concubine Jiang's mother."
The Queen Mother then remembered that this seemed to be true.
"Mrs. Jiang is quite skillful, how come..."
The Queen Mother didn't finish her words. She praised her mother for her dexterity, but she didn't finish. Wasn't she trying to say that how could someone like her mother give birth to someone like her?
"Your name is Jiang Nian?"
"Yes, Queen Mother."
"Keep your head up."
Jiang Nian slowly raised his eyes and looked over. The Queen Mother did not show any obvious dislike and nodded: "Well, it is a sign."
"I heard that the Prince of Yan loves you very much. When he asked for permission that day, he begged His Majesty to welcome you into the palace as his wife."
"Replying to the Queen Mother, it is all due to Your Highness's favor."
"Hmph." The Queen Mother said coldly, "Don't I know what kind of person the Prince of Yan is? He's a bastard! What good can he possibly be interested in?"
These words were extremely serious, and even Princess Huaining looked at her worriedly.
Jiang Nian smiled and said, "The Queen Mother is right. Prince Yan is indeed a bastard. I, the concubine, am naturally the same as him. I am also a bastard."
Well, she was right. Prince Yan was indeed a bastard sometimes, and she was not much better.
Princess Huaining was startled and looked at the Queen Mother: "Why do you have to scare her? She is very brave."
The Queen Mother didn't want to look at her and turned her head away with a cold expression.
Princess Huaining tried to smooth things over: "You're not feeling well, so sit down instead of standing."
Jiang Nian didn't move. He glanced at the empress dowager and didn't dare to move.
"The Queen Mother won't blame you. Please sit down."
Jiang Nian didn't know why the Queen Mother called her here today, but she knew it was definitely not a good thing.
Just then, the hall was quiet for a while, and then the empress dowager spoke.
"Prince Yan's mansion had no female relatives in the past, and he wouldn't accept any gifts from the palace. Now that you've entered the mansion, you should pay more attention. I heard that Concubine Jiang gets up later than Prince Yan every day. Forget about asking you to take care of Prince Yan. I'm afraid he'll have to help you dress and wash, right?"
Jiang Nian lowered his head guiltily and could only say that the Queen Mother was wise.
It was indeed the Prince of Yan who took care of her dressing and washing.
But you can't blame her for getting up late. If she has any opinions, she can go to King Yan. She won't take the blame.
But Jiang Nian didn't dare say this, otherwise the Queen Mother would kill her.
"As the Empress Dowager has taught me, I will definitely take good care of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan."
The Queen Mother felt as if she had punched cotton, and the breath in her chest could not go up or down.
"Also, Prince Yan used to be averse to women, but now he's finally come around. You should try to persuade him more. The palace has become a little quieter. I know you're newlyweds, but royal heirs are the most important. I've prepared two people for you to take with you when you return today."
Jiang Nian's brows jumped. It's finally here.
After all this talk, this is the purpose, right?
The Prince of Yan had just gotten married, but he was already rushing to stuff people into his palace, and he seemed so confident about it.
When I asked those questions just now, if you didn't know, you might think that they were out of concern for Prince Yan, but it turned out that they were all laying the groundwork for this matter.
If she didn't accept it, she would offend the Queen Mother and be branded as jealous. If she did, wouldn't that mean she had two spies in the palace? It might even cause a rift in her relationship with the Prince of Yan.
What a good idea.
"Since it is the order of the Empress Dowager, I will naturally obey it. However, there is one thing I would like to ask the Empress Dowager for your guidance. What kind of status should be assigned to this person after he enters the palace?"
The Queen Mother and Princess Huaining didn't expect Jiang Nian to agree so readily. Shouldn't he have said that he couldn't make the decision?
"Since you are willing, the decision to bring the person back will naturally be made by the palace."
Hearing this, Jiang Nian stood up and bowed again: "Then I, on behalf of His Royal Highness the Prince of Yan, would like to thank the Queen Mother for her great grace."
