Chapter 410: Chapter 400: Take Nichang to the Xie family courtyard

When the palace doors finally opened, Qiao Ruoyi hurriedly went forward to hand in the invitation. After waiting for about an hour, Qiao Ruoyi was finally able to enter the palace.

The moment she entered the palace, Qiao Ruoyi was extremely anxious. She felt that the attendant leading the way was indeed a little too slow.

In the past, when she entered the palace, she had never noticed that the attendant leading the way was so slow.

When she arrived in front of the second Prince’s palace, it was rare for Lady Qiao to wake up early. There was a hint of guilt on her face as she said, “Ruoyi, I’m sorry. It’s my fault for not teaching you well. I’ll definitely give Ang ‘er a good beating later.”

Qiao ruoyi quickly said, “The second prince did a good job. It’s my fault. Sister, Please Don’t blame the second Prince.”

The second Prince’s wet nurse came out with little nichang who had just woken up in a daze.

When Qiao Ruoyi saw Little Nichang, she quickly went over to hold her in her arms. “I’m sorry, Nichang. I’m sorry.”

When Little Nichang saw Qiao ruoyi, she leaned her head on Qiao Ruoyi’s shoulder and said, “Mother.”

When Lu Ang came out, he was a little afraid when he saw Qiao Jinniang’s angry face.

Qiao Jinniang looked at Lu ang coldly and said, “You brought your sister into the palace. Do you know that your grandparents and aunts will be worried?”

Lu Ang was afraid that Qiao Jinniang would be angry, but he also felt wronged and said, “But mother, it was aunt who didn’t want Nichang first.”

Nichang heard this and also struggled out of Qiao Ruoyi’s arms and said, “Mother is bad, don’t want Nichang!”

Qiao ruoyi quickly said, “How can I not want you?”

“But there were several times of thunder, but I couldn’t find mother…”

Qiao ruoyi hugged nichang and said, “Not in the future. No matter where mother goes in the future, she will bring Nichang. But you must not scare mother.”

Qiao ruoyi nodded her little head and obediently called out, “Mother!”

Qiao Jinniang saw that the mother and daughter had reconciled, then she said to Lu ang, “You have caused such a big incident and made your aunt so worried. She will definitely not let you off easily. She will punish you by copying the history book ten times! When you finish copying it, when you can go out to play.”

“Ah?”Lu Ang’s mouth was wide open. “Ten times? Mother, no!”

Qiao Jinniang found the chief steward and the first palace maid in Lu Ang’s palace and scolded them fiercely.

The first palace maid felt wronged and said, “Please forgive me, Your Majesty. Miss Nichang and Qingyu look too much alike. Last night, it was dark. The second prince didn’t allow us to light the lamp too bright. We thought it was Miss Nichang who was Qingyu…”

“Qingyu?”Asked Qiao Jinniang.

Qiao ruoyi said, “She’s the little palace maid who replaced Nichang in the Qiao family yesterday. She looks about five years old. She does look somewhat similar to Nichang.”

When Qiao Ruoyi entered the palace, she also brought Qingyu with her.

Qiao Jinniang Curiously asked the first palace maid in Lu Ang’s palace, “How can there be such a young palace maid in the Palace?”

Previously, her mother and Empress had changed the age of the palace maid to enter the palace. There was definitely no palace maid who entered the palace at such a young age.

The palace maid quickly replied, “Qingyu’s mother is Xie sizhi from the Shanggong Bureau. Last year, Xie Sizhi went to Lin ‘an with the empress and found out that her husband who was separated from her was dead. Her daughter could not survive in a relative’s home and was sold by her uncle to be a child bride at the home of a local official.

“So, she asked the Shang Gong Lord for mercy and allowed her daughter to enter the palace. This little girl is already seven years old and has reached the age where she can enter the palace.”

Qiao Jinniang looked at the thin girl and didn’t look like a seven-year-old girl. “Xie Sizhi? I remember that Xie Sizhi went to the palace because of illness at the beginning of the year.”

Qiao Jinniang liked the gorgeous clothes made by Xie Sizhi, but it was a pity that she was weak.

The first palace maid replied, “Yes, she only left a daughter. Later, the second prince went to the palace and saw her. He felt that she looked similar to Miss Nichang, so he brought her back to his palace. He only learned how to do some chores.”

Qiao Jin thought that she was too lenient with her son. She didn’t even know that he had such a little palace maid by his side, so she said,

“This woman has a hard life. Her parents died young, and she almost became her child bride. It’s pitiful for her to stay in the palace as a palace maid to serve others for her whole life. Just send her to the West Mountain Academy, and she can learn some skills in the Academy.”

Lu Ang quickly hugged Qiao Jinniang and pleaded, “Mother, no, I want Qingyu to stay. I will be obedient and learn to read. I will learn to memorize the four books as soon as possible. Please keep Qingyu.”

Qiao jinniang said, “No, if she stays, she will be a slave for the rest of her life. If she goes to the West Mountain Academy, she will have a good future.”

Lu ang snorted, “If mother wants to send Qingyu away, I will ignore mother.”

Qiao Jinniang would not be threatened by him, “Ask Qingyu. See if she is willing to be your slave for the rest of her life, or go to the West Mountain Academy to study and have a place to settle down in the future?”

Lu Ang said to Qingyu who was kneeling on the ground, “Quickly say that you want to stay in the palace.”

Qingyu kowtowed and said, “Thank you for your Grace, Your Majesty. It is my good fortune to be able to enter the West Mountain Academy.”

Lu ang snorted and said, “No loyalty!”

Qiao Ruoyi saw the palace maid beside Qiao Jinniang bring qingyu down and said, “This girl’s mother’s surname is Xie? It can’t be related to Xie Yun, right?”

Qiao jinniang smiled and said, “In Lin ‘an city, Qian Xie is one of the two big families. The pen surnamed Qian and the pen surnamed Xie are all the same. They may be the same ancestor, but they must be far away from each other. Otherwise, my family wouldn’t have ignored them.”

As for appearance, children at this age didn’t grow up to begin with. The similarity was probably just a coincidence.

..

Nichang’s disappearance was a false alarm. However, this made Qiao ruoyi reflect on herself. From then on, she would return to the office early every day to accompany Nichang.

After another seven days, Qiao Ruoyi was caught in a dilemma. Looking at the sky, it was clear and bright. It was almost autumn. She did not know if there would be more lightning and thunder.

However, Qiao Ruoyi did not dare to leave Nichang alone in the manor. She simply brought her to the Xie family’s villa.

When Xie Yun saw Nichang, he was obviously much happier than when he saw Qiao ruoyi. Xie Yun went forward to hold Nichang’s hand and said, “Nichang.”

Nichang called out obediently, “Uncle Xie.”

Xie Yun frowned slightly and said, “Have you had dinner? Do you want to eat the glutinous rice and sweet lotus root?”

Nichang nodded and said, “I have had dinner, but I still want to eat the glutinous rice and sweet lotus root.”

Lan Xin quickly said, “Little Master, please wait for a moment. Lan Xin will go and buy the glutinous rice and sweet lotus root for you.”

Qiao ruoyi said, “Don’t spoil her. She just ate a lot of dinner. It’s better to eat less at night.”

Nichang looked up at Qiao ruoyi and said, “Mother, just eat one piece!”

Xie Yun then instructed Lan Xin to go to the Hundred Savory restaurant to get a serving of glutinous rice and sweet lotus root.

“Uncle Xie is so nice.”

Qiao ruoyi could not help but sigh at the intimate relationship between Little Nichang and Xie Yun..

After nichang used the glutinous rice sugar lotus root, she kept pestering Xie Yun to play games.

Xie Yun was rather patient. It was only when he coaxed little nichang to sleep that he realized that it was already past midnight. It could be seen that even time passed extremely quickly when he was with Nichang.
