Seeing Lady Hershey walk out of her palace with a strange expression, Xianying felt more confident in the prosperity of the Tong family and relaxed a little.
From this conversation, Xianying also learned that Nanny Cui was someone she could rest assured about. The dozens of people in the family were in the hands of the Tong family. After women got married and had children, they were not young and beautiful. The only thing that could threaten them was their family. According to Hershey, Tong Jia did not like her unflattering personality and was not very close to her. This made it much easier for her to do things.
Presumably, it wasn't uncommon for a master to dislike his servant hiding something from her. However, how to make her loyal to her Tongjia family and not Tongjia family was also a problem. However, there was finally someone she could trust. It was better to think about how to let the Eighth Princess grow up healthily.
" Someone," said Xianying, who had already recovered. Ever since she sent Hershey away, she no longer leaned on the bed. She had never been able to stay idle. In the modern world, she only slept four to five hours a day. This time, she transmigrated to the Qing Dynasty and was in time to give birth. She had to lie on the bed for ten days. If it weren't for the warm spring water in the space, she would have been lying on the bed until the eighth princess was one month old. Her bones would have been stiff.
" Greetings, Mistress." Nanny Cui came into the inner room and greeted Xianying, who was sitting by the window. When she heard the voice, she turned her body and stood aside with her head lowered. She thought of the words that Hershey had told her not to disappoint her Mistress after she came out. She felt a little uneasy, but she did not stay in the palace for so many years in vain, so she did not show it on her face.
Xianying, who wanted to train her to be a confidant, had not taken her eyes off Granny Cui since she came in. Seeing that Granny Cui was calm and did not make any mistakes under her gaze, she nodded in satisfaction.
"Granny, Mother told me that the Cui family has been serving the Tong family for generations. You should be the most trusted person in the palace, but I still want to ask you what you think. Even if your choice doesn't meet my wishes, you can still be a nanny in the Jing Ren Palace for the sake of your many years of care. However, I will arrange another place for you to continue your loyalty." It was even more tiring than in the modern world, where she could only sleep for an hour or so every day to dig up a tomb. She was not a real woman. Although she knew how to use schemes, she was still more straightforward than women.
Nanny Cui lowered her head and said respectfully to Xianying," Please instruct me, Master."
Seeing that Nanny Cui was no longer worried and impatient, Xianying smiled and could not help but sigh in her heart about the ability of the Hershey family to control her subordinates. It seemed that if there was nothing to do, she should invite that person to the palace for a chat. She waved her hand to let Nanny Cui stand up and said with a curious smile,"Choose between bengong and the Tong family."
As soon as Xianying finished speaking, she saw Nanny Cui suddenly raise her head in shock. Her slightly opened lips opened and closed a few times, but no words came out of her mouth. However, Xianying was really relieved when she saw Nanny Cui's reaction. It seemed that after she made a choice, she could send her to take care of the eighth princess even if she did not like it.
Nanny Cui saw that after her master finished speaking, she no longer looked at her and casually picked up a book on the desk in front of her to flip through. If it was before, she would not hesitate to swear allegiance, but she was still biased in the importance of major matters. However, after her master gave birth to the eighth princess, not only did her mind become clear-headed after being bewitched by the Emperor, but her methods also seemed to be no weaker than the Hershey family.
Although she didn't know what the two of them said when she was guarding outside the inner room, it was because of the eyesight she had trained in the palace for so many years and her understanding of her. How could Nanny Cui not be careful when she replied?
When she had nothing to ask for, her master had actually become so scheming and unpredictable. Since she had already entered the palace, if she did not want to live like this for the rest of her life, there was only one way. However, it concerned the lives of many people in the family. Before Cui Nanny pledged her loyalty, she still walked forward uneasily and said carefully," Master, this Tong family is your reliance. If…"
" Nanny Cui, you must have followed me into the palace for many years. You have seen many servants do things that they shouldn't do because they don't know their own position." Xianying raised her head and looked at the brocade handkerchief in Nanny Cui's hand. She laughed and thought that Nanny Cui had put too much emphasis on her words.
"Granny, you don't have to worry too much. BenGong is from the Tong family after all. No matter what, I won't do anything that will harm the clan and benefit myself. You can say what you can about the matters in the palace, but you can't not say anything about what you can't say. This is to see which side you're biased towards." Her words were already so clear. If she still wavered in the slightest, then he could only send someone to carefully watch her.
" Master, this servant will marry you into the palace. My life and death will be decided by my master. Moreover, the Fujin had told me before my master entered the palace that after entering the palace, my master will only be you, Imperial Concubine. No one can control me. If you really want this servant, you only need to say a word and the Fujin will hand over the slave contract of my family to my master." Nanny Cui could not help but sigh at the love of the Hershey family for their daughter. After entering the palace, which of the consorts did not have family ties by their side? The Fujin could do this.
Looking at Nanny Cui kneeling on the ground and kowtowing to show her gratitude, Xianying did not know what to think. If she really accepted the thick stack of indentities, even the most hard-hearted person would never forget the clan.
Just as Xianying was thinking about whether she should open her mouth, Xiangyu reported from outside the door," Imperial Noble Consort's servant Xiangyu, Eunuch Liu from the Palace of Heavenly Purity, is currently escorting the Fourth Prince to the back hall. She will be here in a moment."
One thing came after another. This was because Xianying was not allowed to go out, and even the palace affairs were temporarily handed over to the Fourth Consort. If she finished her confinement and left Jing Ren Palace, there would be even more things to worry about.
"Nanny Cui, get up and go outside to ask what's going on. Then send the nanny who took care of the Fourth Prince back to the Internal Affairs Office. Rumor has it that if another servant like this is sent, then I will personally go to the Internal Affairs Office to choose someone." Since taking care of Yinzhen was her mission, it was better to start early. The first step was to start with those servants.
" Yes, I will." These days, because of her and the Eight Gege, she did not have time to care about Yinzhen. She hoped that it was not a big deal this time. Xianying liked the child with curly hair very much.
