That day, Baozhu came back in a hurry, "Miss, my cousin sent me a message saying that the eldest son went to Wangchun Tower yesterday."

"What did you say?"

"My cousin hadn't seen the girl for a long time, so he went to take a look. Unexpectedly, the eldest young master was there too. My cousin didn't dare to go up to her. He only went to ask after the eldest young master left."

"My cousin said he didn't ask anything else, only about what happened to the Second Young Master at Wangchun Tower that day. However, those things were all done by the Second Young Master, so he didn't ask too much, just some ordinary things."

Fortunately, I didn't redeem the girl at the beginning. After so long, Jiang Mingyuan still hasn't given up.

"Tell your cousin not to go there these days, be careful not to be discovered by Jiang Mingyuan."

"Don't worry, young lady. I've already told my cousin that he won't be coming to the city again in the next few days."

Jiang Mingyuan is indeed not easy to fool. She hopes Jiang Nian will not let her down. She really wants to see Jiang Mingyuan's reaction then.

After having dinner with Lin, Jiang Nian was about to go back to the house to rest for a while when Mother Zhang from Shou'an Hall came.

"Miss, someone is coming from the palace."

Jiang Nian's heart sank, but she was not surprised. She knew this would happen.

Before, she was a prince and princess, but today she is someone close to the queen.

Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Dechang were overjoyed and kept praising her for her ability.

The nanny's face was expressionless, and she spoke in a businesslike manner: "Miss Jiang, let's go."

After leaving the Jiang family, they took a carriage all the way to the palace gate.

The palace, a place that even her father couldn't enter, but she unexpectedly got in.

It started snowing outside again. I got off the car at the palace gate and took a sedan chair. The sedan chair stopped at a small gate, and then I followed the nanny and continued walking forward.

Looking up at the towering palace walls and the narrow passages, I finally understood what it meant to look at the world from a narrow perspective.

The sky was divided into thin strips by these red walls, and it looked like it was about to fall down.

When they reached a palace gate, the nanny said, "Miss Jiang, please wait here for a moment. I will go and report to the Empress."

Jiang Nian was not accompanied by a maid, so he looked up and saw Cuiwei Palace.

I glanced around and it wasn't too deserted. Occasionally, eunuchs and palace maids passed by.

The weather is cold now and snow is falling again. When the cold wind blows, Jiang Nian pulls his cloak closer.

I don’t know how long it took, but there was finally movement inside. The nanny came out, and her face didn’t show any sign of having been waiting for a long time.

Jiang Nian always had a smile on his face, without complaining or saying much.

"Come with me."

"Thank you, mama."

Entering the front hall of Cuiwei Palace, as soon as I walked in, I saw a beautiful woman sitting at the top, and next to the beautiful woman was an acquaintance, Princess Anle.

Without waiting for the nanny to urge him, Jiang Nian stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, Your Majesty."

The lady smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. Come, serve the tea."

Jiang Nian sat down as he was told, quietly and without any sign of misconduct.

Concubine Hui looked Jiang Nian up and down, covered her lips and smiled, "I've heard of Miss Jiang's name for a long time, and today I finally get to see her."

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am overwhelmed."

"I heard that you and Anle hit it off right away. I really want to meet you. Yes, you are a pretty girl."

Jiang Nian stood up and bowed again.

"I like girls like you. How about this, you stay for a few days and just chat with me."

Anle gently tugged at Concubine Hui's sleeve, but Concubine Hui pretended not to see it.

Jiang Nian responded: "Yes."

"Okay, take Miss Jiang down to rest and take good care of her."

Jiang Nian followed the palace maid out of the front hall. Princess Anle immediately complained, "Mother, why are you doing this? Why make things difficult for a little girl like her?"

Concubine Hui was unhappy. "What are you talking about? When did I ever embarrass her?"

Princess Anle said helplessly: "Don't scare her, she is still young. If something happens, someone will..."

Concubine Hui waved her hand: "Don't worry, I won't do anything to her."

......

Jiang Nian sat alone in the house, watching the sky outside getting darker and darker, but there was no one outside the yard.

When it was dinner time, no one came to deliver the meal. She knew the reason why Concubine Hui had summoned her today, so she didn't intend to let herself suffer any injustice. She went straight out the door and found the kitchen.

The kitchen had just served the masters' dinner and was busy preparing to eat.

Jiang Nian searched for a while and finally smelled the fragrance in the southwest corner of Cuiwei Palace.

The people in the kitchen were eating happily when they saw a girl coming in from the door and looked over immediately.

Jiang Nian smiled and said, "I'm the new maidservant to Concubine Hui. Can I have dinner with you?"

The one leading the group was a woman who managed the kitchen, probably the kitchen manager. She waved at her and said, "Come quickly, there's room for one more person."

The food provided by the kitchen staff is quite good, with both meat and vegetables, thick and thin dishes. This is where the real food is.

"Thank you, aunt."

"Don't be polite. We still have to rely on you to say good things to the master." The woman was also a generous person. She didn't feel at all that she was a palace maid who disliked the master.

After eating and drinking in the kitchen, she returned to her room. There was still no one in the yard, but she knew that someone must be watching her secretly.

She went back to wash up, then sat on the bed and waited.

She was destined not to be able to sleep that night.

I don’t know how long I waited, but there was finally movement outside. Jiang Nian sighed, slowly walked to the door, and waited for someone to come in.

Seeing that there was no light in the house, the person outside poked a hole in the paper on the door and inserted a bamboo tube. Jiang Nian slowly stretched out his finger and blocked the end of the bamboo tube.

The man outside finally realized something was wrong and pried the door open. Just as he took one foot in, Jiang Nian bent his knees and pushed directly towards his crotch, quickly covering his mouth. Finally, when the man was about to struggle, he fed him medicine.

Jiang Nian looked down at him and asked, "Tell me, who sent you here?"

This man was not a eunuch, but came from outside, just to destroy her innocence.

She couldn't think of anyone else who could do such a thing.

"Don't tell me? It doesn't matter. You won't live long anyway. I know it even if you don't tell me."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was movement outside again. This time it was the nanny beside Concubine Hui.

"Miss Jiang, are you asleep? Concubine Hui is awake and wants you to come and talk."

She glanced outside and saw that it was quite dark. Was Concubine Hui calling her to talk?

Are you sure you're not trying to trick her?

I opened the door and walked out. The sky was full of stars. It was the middle of the night. Talking to her in the middle of the night was really... unique.

"Madam, you've worked hard. I haven't slept yet. I'll go with you right away."

The nanny was stunned. She didn't expect Jiang Nian to accept it so easily. Shouldn't he have dragged his tired body and looked reluctant?

But the Miss Jiang in front of him was dressed neatly and even had her hair tied up again, as if she was prepared.

"Mammy? Let's go."

Isn't the purpose of inviting her to the palace to make her give up?
