Blessed Daughter

Wei Ruo was brought to Madam Yuan.

Also present were Nanny Qin and another nanny that Wei Ruo had never met before.

Nanny Qin introduced to Wei Ruo: "Miss, this is Nanny Zeng."

Wei Ruo looked at that person, and Wei Ruo could tell from Nanny Qin's tone and demeanor that although they were all nanny from the palace, Nanny Zeng's status should be slightly higher than Nanny Qin's.

"This old slave has met the eldest girl." Nanny Zeng was slightly blessed, and her attitude towards Wei Ruo was as polite and courteous as Nanny Qin.

"Nurse Zeng." Wei Ruo greeted each other with a nod.

"Miss, these are all rewarded by your mother, thank you for your contribution to the people of Taizhou Prefecture."

There were several boxes beside Madam Zeng, covered with a red cloth.

Although I can't see what's inside for the time being, just looking at the ceremony, Wei Ruo knows that the things are not bad, and they should be some valuable things.

"Thank you for your gift." Wei Ruo thanked her.

She thought to herself, this Concubine Hui is kinder than her son, if she knows how to give her a gift, it's not in vain for her to bring her son a wave of performance.

"Miss, you don't have to be polite. The rewards given by the empress are also approved by the Holy Majesty, and they are obtained by the ability of the eldest daughter."

Wei Ruo followed Mrs. Yuan in presiding over the disaster relief and was rewarded, but because she is the daughter of the clan, the emperor could not directly reward her, so the mother and concubine of the seventh prince related to this incident should give the reward, which not only shows her attitude, but also is not rude number.

"The daughter of the people thanks Your Majesty Long En." Wei Ruo said hurriedly.

"Your Majesty said that when Eldest Miss goes to the capital, she must summon Eldest Miss and thank Eldest Miss in person." Madam Zeng said very politely.

"The women of the people are terrified, but they are trying their best and dare not take credit." Wei Ruo hurriedly replied.

Nanny Zeng took Wei Ruo's hand and patted the back of Wei Ruo's hand lightly: "Miss, I hope to see you working for more common people in the future, and taking saving all people as your mission like His Highness the Seventh Highness." .”

Wei Ruo smiled slightly, and immediately understood the meaning of Madam Zeng's words.

This is to imply that he wants her to continue to stand by Chu Lan's side in the future.

Wei Ruo replied: "Nurse, I'm a girl, so I don't have much use for it. This time, Madam Yuan appreciates and supports me, so I have this opportunity to do my best for the people. I have already shown everything, and I can't help you with anything else."

"Miss, don't underestimate yourself, the things you are doing now are already beyond the reach of many famous ladies." Madam Zeng said.

Wei Ruo just responded with a smile.

Madam Yuan knew that Wei Ruo was not very good at dealing with such situations, so she came forward and said to Madam Zeng, "Mother, Ruo'er sister is almost embarrassed by what you said, I don't allow you to put too much pressure on her gone."

"Okay, okay." Nanny Zeng replied with a quick smile, "It can be seen that the princess really likes the eldest girl, and I'm afraid that my old lady will scare the eldest girl."

"Isn't that afraid of you? I've heard of your name as Mother Zeng since I was a child." Madam Yuan joked with a smile.

Madam Yuan often went to the palace, and she was an old acquaintance with several favored nanny in the palace, including this highly qualified Nanny Zeng.

"My Majesty the princess, what you say makes my old lady very terrified. If the old prince takes it seriously, then my old lady's head will be lost!" Zeng Mama smiled all over her face.

The two nuns chatted with Mrs. Yuan and Wei Ruo for a while, mainly those three were talking, and Wei Ruo only occasionally seconded and spoke less.

After chatting for more than a quarter of an hour, Nanny Zeng and Nanny Qin bid farewell to Madam Yuan, and Madam Yuan sent Qingyi to send the two nanny away.

Only Mrs. Yuan and Wei Ruo were left in the room.

Madam Yuan said to Wei Ruo in a gentle tone: "Although Concubine Hui is not favored, she gave birth to a capable seventh prince, and her status in the palace is unshakable. That Zeng Nanny is an old man in the palace. Those who work in front of the Empress Dowager are a bit thin-skinned even in front of the Emperor."

Wei Ruo nodded, "Mrs. Xie made a point, I'll take note."

Madam Yuan said again: "The reward given to you by Concubine Hui this time should be ordered by the Holy Majesty, so you don't have to worry about getting involved with the Seventh Prince."

"I thought about it." Wei Ruo said, Wei Ruo had already thought about this problem on the way here.

Concubine Hui is a concubine, so if she blatantly gave gifts to the clan daughters to win Wei Ruo to her side, it would be too stupid.

Madam Yuan's words confirmed Wei Ruo's thoughts.

It can be seen from this that Wei Mingyong's worries are superfluous at all, and they are nothing more than his self-righteous stupid ideas.

Madam Yuan said to Wei Ruo: "Speaking of which, before you came, Madam Zeng told me about a major event that happened in Beijing recently."

"What is it?"

"You've probably heard that the most popular candidates for the crown prince are the Sixth Prince and the Seventh Prince. The Sixth Prince's ancestors are powerful and have many supporters in the court; and the Seventh Prince's own ability is superior to the Sixth Prince's." Some. Originally, the Sixth Prince was more hopeful between the two, but recently the Sixth Prince’s relief has been fruitless, and the Seventh Prince’s military exploits have raised the voice of the Seventh Prince.”

"I've heard it a little bit." Wei Ruo didn't understand why Madam Yuan mentioned these things at this time.

"Then you probably don't know that the appearance of the Ninth Prince will change the situation." Mrs. Yuan said surprisingly.

"Ninth Prince?" Wei Ruo looked at Madam Yuan in surprise.

"Yes, Ninth Prince." Madam Yuan was very determined.

"I've heard some rumors about the Ninth Prince before, but they should be just rumors, shouldn't it be true?"

Wei Ruohui has a basis for thinking this way. In the original book, Chu Lan won the battle for the heir apparent. In the end, no Nine Princes appeared.

The ninth prince only exists in people's conversations, and his status in the emperor's mind is probably similar to that of the late Bai Yueguang in the male protagonist's mind.

Whenever the sixth prince and the seventh prince had something that made the emperor feel uncomfortable, the emperor would think of the child he had with his beloved Empress Xu.

Although the child died at birth, it did not prevent him from being the best and most perfect son in the emperor's heart.

"I thought so too at first, but I didn't expect this person to actually appear. And it was at a critical time when Xu Guogong's collusion with the enemy and treason case was being retried." Mrs. Yuan said.

"Is it the real Ninth Prince? Could it be someone impersonating him?" Wei Ruo asked.

Madam Yuan shook her head: "I'm not sure now, but the people who escorted this person back to the capital are all former ministers who were close to Empress Xu back then, and they also have a token of Empress Xu back then. This is something that ordinary people who want to impersonate cannot do."

Wei Ruo frowned, a little puzzled.

There is no such thing in the original book!

"However... the Ninth Prince seems to be a little sick, sickly, and looks like he won't live long." Madam Yuan added.
