Chapter 316 The child in the dream
The old grandma didn't expect that Niuniu would ask directly.
She had been in the palace for so many years, and everyone always made ten twists and turns in one sentence. She had never seen such a straight shot.
"Young lady, you are joking. I just think this is a trivial matter, so there is no need to alarm the nobles? The young lady probably doesn't want the nobles to think that you are a person who bluffs over trivial matters. Isn't this too disgraceful?" said the old nanny. Trying hard to stabilize Niu Niu.
She felt that a six-year-old girl should be able to fool her easily.
But Niuniu said: "If you have anything to ask, why is this so disrespectful? I didn't do anything wrong!"
There is a natural magnanimity and bravery in Niu Niu, as if if she had a clear conscience, she would be able to do something that she felt didn't matter.
The old nanny was scared out of her mind at this time. If this matter were to be exposed in front of the queen mother and the noble concubine, even if it was just for the sake of face, they would definitely punish her, a servant, for disrespecting the master.
The old mama had never thought so fast before. She pulled Niuniu and said: "Girl, if you don't think about yourself, you should also think about our eldest lady. If this kind of thing is really asked in front of the nobles, they will actually Let’s get to the bottom of it, what will they think of our eldest lady then?”
When Niuniu heard this, she looked at Qin Jingshu aside.
Qin Jingshu took Niuniu's hand and said, "You are my good friend. I will listen to you whatever you want to do."
When the old grandma heard this, her face was filled with despair. She couldn't understand why Qin Jingshu didn't care about her situation at all?
Niu Niu stopped and asked the old woman, "Did you bully Jing Shu on purpose just now?"
The old grandma still wanted to defend herself.
But Niuniu said again: "If you don't tell the truth, go find them now!"
The old mama also didn't expect that the little girl had learned to threaten without any guidance.
No matter how unwilling she was, she could only say honestly at this time: "It's all the old slave's fault. Because of his age and seniority, he had the idea of bullying his master. I beg you two girls to spare me this time. I Never again!"
Niuniu looked at Qin Jingshu and asked, "Do you want to keep her by your side?"
Qin Jingshu looked hesitant.
The old nanny immediately said: "Miss, you are not familiar with the place in the palace. Even if I have some arrogance, I will try my best to protect you! If you let me leave now, I will go back to Duke Xianguo's mansion. , when the time comes, Madam will actually ask about things in the palace, how do you want me to answer?"
"Even without me, there are still others. You should know better than me how much Madam likes to stare at you!"
"If you keep me by your side, I can help you cover up if my wife asks you later! If you want to drive me away, this is really doing a lot of harm and no good!"
Qin Jingshu's heart skipped a beat. She was not stupid. She had been frightened by the old grandma before, but now her fear of the old grandma had disappeared.
Just like the old grandma said, according to my mother's desire for control, if there is no one else, it is better to keep a controllable person around.
"Niuniu, let this person stay and we continue talking, okay?" Qin Jingshu asked.
Niuniu just couldn't bear to see her good friend being bullied. When she heard what she said, she turned to the old nanny and said, "If you dare to find you bullying someone again, I will tell the Queen Mother!"
The little girl has a fierce breast and thinks she is very powerful, but in fact she is just a little tiger without teeth.
But the old mama did not dare to look down on Niu Niu. After all, the little girl was called "Grandma the Queen Mother" and was indeed left alone by the Queen Mother before. Although her father's official position was only the sixth rank, she obviously got the Queen Mother's personal attention, and her father was a Hanlin He is an official, and he is also the number one scholar. Who can guarantee that he will not become famous in the future?
This time, the old nanny honestly backed down.
There were only two little girls in the room. Qin Jingshu couldn't hold it back anymore and said excitedly to Niuniu: "Niuniu, you are really amazing! You were not afraid of grandma at all just now!"
Niu Niu asked, "Why should I be afraid of her? I didn't do anything wrong, I just took two bites of food."
What Qin Jingshu envied most was Niu Niu's unique calmness. A flash of curiosity flashed across Qin Jingshu's face, and she asked, "Does the Queen Mother like you very much? She seems to have been holding on to you for a long time."
Niuniu said: "I don't know how much she likes me, but I like the Queen Mother very much and think she is very kind."
When Qin Jingshu heard this title, she couldn't help but ask: "Did you also call me Grandma the Queen Mother before?"
Niuniu nodded.
Qin Jingshu's eyes were full of admiration. She thought of her family's advice and she would never dare to call the Queen Mother that way.
"Then do you know which concubine you will be assigned to?" Qin Jingshu asked again.
Niuniu shook her head.
Qin Jingshu whispered: "It would be great if we were grouped together, or a little closer. I want to stay with you all the time."
Niu Niu took her good friend's hand and said, "Even if we can't be assigned together, we still study together every day."
When Qin Jingshu heard this, she couldn't help but feel happy. Compared with being at home, she was particularly happy as long as she could stay with Niu Niu.
"Hurry up and eat! Let me tell you, I brought a lot of delicious food to the palace this time. I don't dare to stop you now. We can eat to our heart's content!" Niu Niu said.
Qin Jingshu's eyes lit up.
At this time, in the main hall, the eldest princess waved and asked the others to leave. She couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart and asked: "Mother, when you just saw Niu Niu, you seemed to be very surprised?"
The Queen Mother didn't intend to tell the truth at first, and just said casually: "Who wouldn't like such a cute child?"
The eldest princess looked at her mother steadily.
The Queen Mother said helplessly: "Why do you have to get to the bottom of it?"
The eldest princess said: "It's one thing to like this child, but if you like him for no reason, I always feel unsure."
The Queen Mother sighed and said: "The Ai family often had a dream. In the dream, although your brother had a difficult time having heirs, his queen gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. The little girl looked very much like Niu Niu. They were exactly the same mold. Carved."
"The Ai family has never seen Niu Niu before. How can we not like her when we see her?"
The eldest princess was completely relieved. It turned out that the Queen Mother liked her for a reason. She felt relieved and said, "Niuniu is a very lucky person. Maybe she can really bring you grandchildren."
"The Queen Mother, all the concubines heard that Fuwa has entered the palace, and they are all waiting outside now."
Listening to the feedback from the people outside the palace.
The queen mother and the eldest princess also finished their words and said casually: "Let them all come in and wait."
Now that the concubines are here, the little girls will naturally come to choose their adoptive mothers.
Niuniu and Qin Jingshu entered the main hall hand in hand.
They came relatively slowly, and the other three little girls were already waiting in the main hall.
As soon as she saw Niuniu, the Queen Mother couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, and waved to the little girl from a distance.
Niu Niu immediately pulled Qin Jingshu over and trotted over, threw herself directly into the Empress Dowager's arms, and shouted "Grandma the Queen Mother".
Concubine Li Guifei, who was sitting at the top position on the left and the head of the concubines, suddenly changed her expression when she saw Niu Niu.
