An Lingge curled her lips and laughed, the coldness in her eyes seemed to be real. "It seems like I still can't hear nanny's words."

Didn't you say that I was intentionally playing with you? I'll play with you and see what you can do.

Being suppressed by An Lingge's ice-cold gaze, the nanny finally understood that she was playing a joke on him!

"Eldest Miss, you keep playing with this old servant. Is it because you are dissatisfied with Imperial Noble Consort Li and deliberately found an excuse to not pay your respects?"

An Lingge scoffed, she then stood up from the chair, "nanny, I advise you to recognize your own identity, and come speak with me again."

"You, a nanny, how dare you shout and question me in front of this young miss, who gave you the guts? Could it be that I don't dare to do anything to you just because you passed the message to me on behalf of the Imperial Noble Consort Li?! Or do you think that no matter how disrespectful and disrespectful you are to your unfilial master, the Second Aunt will still support you? "

Her expression was ice-cold. Her usually gentle and smiling lips were cold without any warmth. Her deep black and bright eyes seemed to be able to pierce through the deepest and darkest part of one's heart.

nanny could not help but take a step back, her arrogant attitude finally relaxed, "Please don't be angry First Miss, this servant definitely did not mean that."

"Oh, you mean, I wronged you?"

An Lingge's eyes turned slightly as the nanny immediately stopped talking. She put on a respectful face, but her eyes were still filled with disdain.

An Lingge sneered in the bottom of her heart, then instructed Bi Zhu, "Bi Zhu, tell the people who went back to the Imperial Noble Consort Li that I'm not feeling well, and that I'll pay them a visit another time."

After she finished speaking, she walked back to her own room, leaving the nanny in shock.

Eldest Miss would not go no matter what she said. If she couldn't settle this matter, Imperial Noble Consort Li and Aunt would not forgive her!

Seeing that An Lingge did not look like she was lying, the nanny panicked and quickly followed, "Please wait, Young Miss, please wait."

An Lingge turned a deaf ear and continued to walk, the nanny behind her could only jogged up to catch up, her face revealed a respectful smile, "Just now this old servant is being insensible, provoking Eldest Miss's displeasure, this old servant will apologize to you."

With that, the nanny raised her hand and slapped her face a few times.

"Look, Miss, over at Imperial Noble Consort Li's side?"

She did not care about her face that was slapped down, and looked at An Lingge fawningly.

"I hope nanny remembers what happened today. If you still have that attitude next time, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am today."

The meaning in his words was that he would not pursue the matter today.

"Thank you for your forgiveness, Eldest Miss." nanny hurriedly thanked him, and tried probing further, "The people from Imperial Noble Consort Li must have waited quite a while, First Miss …"

"Lead the way." An Lingge's expression was indifferent.

The nanny was overjoyed, and quickly brought An Lingge out of the palace.

Only when An Lingge's figure disappeared from the carriage did a trace of anger resurface on nanny's face.

A cowardly, orphan girl who had lost her mother could only show her master in front of servants like them.

Once they arrived at the palace, the Imperial Noble Consort Li would definitely not let them off easy!

An Lingge naturally knew that the reason she had come to the palace today, was to attend the Hongmen Banquet.

But even if she knew that the Imperial Noble Consort Li had ill intentions, she still had to go. Only by finding out the background of the biggest backer behind the Madam Li would she be able to come up with a good plan to topple the Madam Li.

An Lingge closed her eyes and rested on the carriage, and after a while, she arrived at the imperial palace. She alighted from the carriage, and was led to a palace by the Imperial Noble Consort Li.

She had never been to the palace before in her previous life and was currently observing the surroundings.

After going through many fake mountains, water pavilions, and pavilions, the palace maids finally brought An Lingge to an elegant and beautiful palace.

"Miss An, this is the Imperial Noble Consort's palace."

The red dressed lady's voice did not reveal any emotion, An Lingge indifferently acknowledged, and then went to the inner hall to report.

"Imperial Noble Consort, we have arrived."

Just as the palace maid finished speaking, a feminine voice came from inside, "Invite her in quickly."

The voice was soft and sweet, making one imagine that the woman who said it must be a gentle and kind person.

An Lingge smiled, then walked in with a sense of propriety.

"It's only been a few years since we last met. Little Ge has grown up to this extent, I almost couldn't recognize him."

Imperial Noble Consort Li looked at An Lingge cordially, as if she was looking at her beloved junior.

Back then when Madam Li married into the Prince An's Palace, Imperial Noble Consort Li was still a teenage girl, and she had followed Madam Li to the Prince An's Palace once. At that time, An Lingge was still young, so she had no impression of her at all.

But An Lingge laughed, and said extremely sincerely, "The Imperial Noble Consort Empress is as young as she was at that time, and aside from a few insignificant lines, there doesn't seem to be any other changes."

The two of them had a smile on their face and a gentle tone. They sounded like good friends that hadn't seen each other in many years, but no one knew just how much edge was hidden underneath.

Imperial Noble Consort Li hinted at a drastic change in An Lingge's personality. An Lingge would make a fool of herself about Imperial Noble Consort Li's age, and see who would know the truth.

Madam Li who was at the side was the first to be unable to sit still, and asked, "Eldest Miss, the Imperial Noble Consort's Empress summoned you to the palace. Why have you only come here now?

"Didn't Aunt know?" An Lingge retorted, and said innocently, "The nanny by Aunt's side repeatedly stopped me from entering the palace. I thought it was Aunt's intentions, but it turns out I was wrong about Aunt."

With just one sentence, she pushed the blame onto nanny, who was standing beside her. She made the Madam Li choke back the words she had asked her, as though she was holding them tightly in her chest.

The Imperial Noble Consort Li chuckled, "How could your aunt let a servant stop you from entering the palace? That servant must have acted on his own accord and missed the chance to meet with you."

An Lingge nodded her head, "What the Imperial Noble Consort said makes sense. That slut must have wanted to separate the feelings between me and the Imperial Noble Consort, which was why she intentionally stopped me from leaving the palace."

Her words were sincere, causing the Imperial Noble Consort Li sitting in the main seat to feel embarrassed.

She had entered the palace at the age of eighteen, gone through countless of open and secret battles, and only then did she reach her current position. Her ability to spout lies was not comparable to a little girl like An Lingge.

Imperial Noble Consort Li secretly sighed as the Madam Li beside her suddenly bumped into her in a neither light nor heavy manner.

She then remembered her goal and smiled at An Lingge, "It is rare for you to enter the palace, you must go and take a look at the scenery at the Brightheart Lake."

An Lingge revealed an interested expression at the right time, "The scenery recommended by the Imperial Noble Consort Empress must be extremely beautiful. If there's a chance, I would definitely enjoy it."

"Isn't this an opportunity?" Imperial Noble Consort Li laughed tenderly, called the palace maid over, and turned to look at An Lingge, "Why not come with me to Brightheart Lake?"
