Legend of the Embroiderer

Just when Li Zhao and Su Mengyao were frowning and racking their brains over the reform but had no idea, a burst of crisp, loud and penetrating applause suddenly came from the palace.

The sound was as sweet as a yellow oriole singing in a valley, but in this moment and this scene, it seemed particularly abrupt and eye-catching.

The two of them looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw a senior nanny in blue-gray clothes walking slowly into the meeting room with elegant and calm steps.

This maid was a highly respected figure in the palace, with extensive experience. She had served in the palace since she was a child, and had witnessed countless ups and downs, honors and disgraces, and changes in the court.

Both the palace maids and the eunuchs had deep respect for her.

Her position in the palace is extremely important, and her words and deeds can often cause uproar and even influence the development of some important affairs.

Mammy's bright eyes were like torches at this moment, scanning everyone present sharply.

Her gaze seemed to have an invisible deterrent force, making people dare not look at her.

Then, in a loud and clear voice, she spoke aloud, "Your Highness the Crown Prince and Miss Su have vigorously promoted this reform, originally intended to ensure the long-term stability of our palace. But look at this scene now, everyone is arguing and quarreling endlessly! This chaotic situation is unacceptable!"

The nanny's words were like a thunderclap. As soon as they fell, the conference room, which was originally as noisy as a busy city, fell into deathly silence in the blink of an eye.

The palace maids seemed to be under a spell of immobilization, and they all froze in place, not even daring to breathe.

They all held their breath, their eyes widened, their expressions tense to the extreme, their gazes fixed on the nanny in front of them who always had a smile on her face and seemed amiable.

The nanny's kind face disappeared, replaced by a terrifying majesty, standing before everyone like an insurmountable mountain.

This sudden change filled the palace maids with fear and anxiety.

Everyone's heartbeat seemed to be clearly audible, beating like a war drum. The timid palace maids were especially frightened, their faces turning pale and their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

In the midst of silence, a slightly trembling voice broke the deadlock.

It turned out to be the normally daring palace maid. She couldn't contain her surging anxiety and uneasiness, and murmured softly, "Mammy, this reform... really makes us feel uncomfortable all over!"

Although she tried her best to lower her voice, it still trembled slightly due to excessive nervousness, which was particularly abrupt in the conference room where it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The corners of Mammy's mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile, but her tone was unusually firm and powerful: "Little girl, you must know that there is no such thing as a good thing in this world that can be easily obtained without hard work.

Although this reform may make us feel uncomfortable temporarily, but from a long-term perspective, it is definitely a great thing!

Just think about it, if those annoying and all sorts of rumors could be completely eliminated, how peaceful and harmonious the entire palace would become?

And isn't it this rare peace of mind that you, who serve your masters wholeheartedly in the palace, are pursuing?"

The nanny's words were like a ray of bright sunshine that penetrated through layers of dark clouds, instantly illuminating the hearts of every palace maid present, making their originally confused and bewildered minds suddenly become clear.

The palace maids looked at each other and exchanged glances, their eyes full of relief after sudden realization.

Seeing that everyone had understood, Mammy immediately added:

"The various rules and regulations we have established in the palace are designed to ensure that everyone can serve with all their heart and soul. This so-called reform, in the final analysis, is merely a further refinement of the existing rules. Therefore, you must not easily abandon this hard-earned peace in the palace simply because of this minor inconvenience!"

The nanny's words were like a warm spring breeze, gently blowing through the hearts of the palace maids, and just like a sweet spring, slowly flowing into everyone's heart.

These words were like a heavy reassurance pill, carrying a reassuring force that firmly settled into the hearts of the palace maids.

The palace maids all nodded their heads, expressing their sincere agreement with what the nanny said.

And those palace servants who had initially held a wait-and-see attitude towards this reform, now began to quietly change their positions under the inspiration of this nanny.

Li Zhao and Su Mengyao, who were standing aside, looked at each other, their eyes revealing unconcealable surprise and deep gratitude.

They really had not expected that this nanny, who had always been unknown and low-key in the palace, would stand up at this critical moment and give them such strong and firm support.

After receiving the wholehearted help of Mammy, the many obstacles that had been blocking the road to reform like a solid wall and seemed unshakable were weakened by more than half in an instant.

At this moment, Li Zhao's heart was filled with respect for the nanny. He respectfully clasped his fists and saluted the nanny. The sincere emotion was overflowing from his words and actions.

He spoke sincerely, "Thank you so much for your help, Ma'am! Your support is truly as precious as a rain after a long drought. I am deeply grateful and can hardly express my gratitude in words."

Hearing Li Zhao's sincere words of thanks, the nanny just smiled slightly and gently waved her hands in response.

She said slowly, "Your Highness, there's no need to be so polite. Harmony and peace in this palace is the common wish of all of us. You and Miss Su have devoted countless efforts to promoting this reform. What I have done is merely a small contribution. If I can contribute to the innovation and improvement of order in this palace, that will be my greatest satisfaction."

Under the leadership of Mammy, who stepped forward and took the lead, the reform path in the palace, which had once stagnated and even deviated from its track, was like a lost ship that found a lighthouse for guidance. It finally sailed steadily into the correct course again and got back on the right track.

Li Zhao and Su Mengyao, who were originally a little frustrated and confused because of the obstacles to reform, were ignited like a bonfire under this unexpected strong support, and they regained their strong confidence and firm determination.

They deeply understood that it was precisely because of the understanding and sincere support of the people in the palace that the peaceful and harmonious scene in the palace that they longed for was no longer just an unattainable dream.

Today, this beautiful vision is gradually becoming a reality, as if it is within reach.
