Of all the people present, except for Bai Yanqing, Bai Jingxuan was probably the only one who could respond to the past events that Grandma Sun was talking about.
"Yes, at that time, Jinchu carried Yan Qing, who had just turned one year old, into the palace to see the late empress. That was the first time Yan Qing entered the palace!"
Speaking of these past events, Bai Jingxuan's eyes softened a bit for an instant. After all, when Ji Jinchu was alive, the couple was indeed in love.
Ji Jinchu had been in poor health since she gave birth to Bai Yanqing. Finally, when Bai Yanqing turned one year old, the emperor favored him and allowed Ji Jinchu to enter the palace to see the queen to express his gratitude. After all, the marriage between the Ji and Bai families was fueled by the late Queen.
Besides, Ji Jinchu and the late empress were childhood friends, and their friendship since childhood was naturally unparalleled by others. Therefore, Grandma Sun and Ji Jinchu were old acquaintances, so now, for the sake of the late empress and Ji Jinchu, she was particularly fond of Bai Yanqing.
It is said that in the past, the late empress was already seriously ill. When she was about to die, she only wanted to see her childhood friend. The emperor then allowed Ji Jinchu to bring the infant Bai Yanqing into the palace to attend to her illness.
Although Aunt Sun is much older than the Queen, she has always been taking care of and accompanying her when she was a child. Therefore, the first queen accompanied her into the palace, and Grandma Sun also followed the first queen into the palace as a maid.
It was precisely because of this relationship that Grandma Sun paid special attention to Bai Yanqing. When she heard that the palace was going to send nanny Xi to teach in various mansions, she invited herself to the White Mansion.
First, I came to explore the daughter of an old friend. Secondly, I also wanted to test the temperament of the Bai family girl. After all, what this huge palace lacks is not smart people, but people who are smart and flexible and do not forget their original aspirations.
"Okay, okay, okay. She's a good girl."
Grandma Sun was supported by the maid beside her and moved forward. At this time, she was so excited that her steps were unsteady!
I saw Grandma Sun running to Bai Yanqing's side in a hurry, looking up and down, carefully looking at Bai Yanqing again and again, as if she didn't want to miss even a single hair of Bai Yanqing's hair.
"Mommy, be careful and don't fall. My little girl is here and she won't run away."
Seeing Grandma Sun's excitement, Bai Yanqing felt a little funny in her heart.
This Grandma Sun is really moody. She treated Ren and Lai Feiyan with indifference just now, but now she is so enthusiastic towards her. Doesn't this make Lai Feiyan and Ren so angry?
Thinking of this, Bai Yanqing glanced at Ren and Lai Feiyan from the corner of her eye. Sure enough, she saw that their expressions changed slightly, as if they had eaten shit, and Bai Yanqing felt even more happy.
Who would have thought that this unattainable Grandma Sun, whom Lai Feiyan tried so hard to curry favor with, was actually an old acquaintance of Bai Yanqing's mother? Now it’s interesting!
Bai Yanqing stepped forward, took the maid's hand, and let her step forward to support Grandma Sun. The attitude is also polite and polite, neither humble nor overbearing. There was no hint of flattery, she had the demeanor of a serious lady.
Apart from other things, compared to Lai Feiyan's pretentious attitude of being a slave just now, Bai Yanqing obviously wins the heart of Grandma Sun more.
Lai Feiyan and Ren are still not angry?
Sure enough, after the breakfast, Cai Xing, who always liked to wander around the house and gossip, found out that the old lady of the Bai family was out of temper and scolded Lai Feiyan. They also found out that Lai Feiyan was so angry that she beat the maid who had been with her for many years. At that time, the girl was still crying in the back garden!
Bai Yanqing, on the other hand, looked unfazed and did not deliberately try to please Grandma Sun. In her free time, she stayed in her own courtyard without going anywhere.
As for Nanny Sun, she entered the Bai Mansion in advance upon request, so she had plenty of time. Therefore, during the first two days in the White Mansion, Grandma Sun enjoyed her leisure time. She just thought she was out of the palace to have fun, and did not give any orders to the girls in the White Mansion.
Whenever she had free time, Grandma Sun always liked to pull Bai Yanqing to talk about the past.
From how the Queen and Ji Jinchu met when they were young, to how the Queen and Ji Jinchu passed away one after another. Although all of them are old events, when it comes to them, Grandma Sun always has endless old things and old feelings to talk about.
People, when they get older, they always like to think about the past.
It was inevitable that Nanny Sun would always be immersed in the past, and her depression would hurt her health, so Bai Yanqing and Cai Xing took Nanny Sun around the Bai Mansion.
Not a single flower, not a single grass, not a single tree in the Bai Mansion was spared. During this period, the two of them made a tacit agreement not to mention anything about entering the palace, and just regarded it as taking Grandma Sun for a stroll. This made Grandma Sun even more happy for the daughter of an old friend.
However, they are not in a hurry, but some people are.
It has been more than two days since Nanny Sun entered the house. Except for those in Bai Yanqing's courtyard, Nanny Sun has not seen anyone else. This has worried Madam Bai, Ren Shi, and Lai Feiyan's mother and daughter. Overtly and covertly, they have asked several waves of people to find out the truth. But they were all blocked by Grandma Sun.
On the fourth day of February, Lai Feiyan and her daughter finally couldn't hold it any longer. They pulled Ren and stood outside Grandma Sun's wing early in the morning, saying with a beautiful name: "Goodbye."
Greetings? Do we need so many people? Besides, Ms. Ren is a few years older than Aunt Sun. No matter what, it’s not her turn to be so humble and pay respects to an old nanny in the palace, right?
"Greetings to Grandma."
Because Grandma Sun always stayed with Bai Yanqing these days, the breakfast during these days was also consumed in Nianchu Xiaozhu. So early that morning, Bai Yanqing came over to call Grandma Sun to have breakfast with her as usual.
As expected, she saw Mrs. Ren and her daughter Bai Furong outside Grandma Sun's wing. Bai Yanqing stepped forward and respectfully paid her respects to Mrs. Ren.
"Um."
Ren snorted coldly from her nostrils, and there was no trace of the kindness of an elder in her eyes.
Bai Yanqing secretly twitched the corner of her mouth, not caring at all. After all, Bai Yanqing was not the one who was rejected!
"Mother Sun, Yan Qing will take you to have breakfast."
Bai Yanqing called into the house, her voice soft and unobtrusive, unlike those who shout with a broken gong voice, which is annoying in vain.
"Don't be rude. You make loud noises in front of grandma's room so early in the morning. How unbecoming it is!"
The three Ren family members stayed in front of Grandma Sun's room for more than half an hour, not daring to breathe loudly, just waiting for her to appear automatically. Now Bai Yanqing called out as soon as she came over, and Mrs. Ren was afraid that she would offend Grandma Sun, so she yelled angrily.
"Hey, hey, it's Yan Qing here!"
Unexpectedly, as soon as Ren finished speaking and before Bai Yanqing could speak, Grandma Sun's voice could be heard in the room.
Listening to Grandma Sun's voice, she didn't sound like she had just gotten up. She had obviously gotten up a long time ago.
Then with a "squeak", Grandma Sun's door opened from the inside, and then a person dressed as a palace maid helped Grandma Sun out of the door.
I saw that Grandma Sun was neatly dressed, her hair was neatly tied up, and she didn't look rushed or messy at all. She must have spent a lot of time dressing up.
When everyone saw Nanny Sun's posture, they understood to some extent. How could Nanny Sun not get up just now? It’s just that I don’t want to see Ren and the others!
"Nanny Sun, you are so shameless. I would like to ask you to come and have breakfast together. What do you think of Nanny Sun?"
Mrs. Ren stepped forward first and raised her hand to help Grandma Sun, but was unexpectedly stopped by the maid next to Grandma Sun.
"Forgive me, madam, but I never like to get close to outsiders."
Everyone who replied "I don't like to be close to outsiders" looked at each other in shock!
Why is this? Because the next second, Grandma Sun took Bai Yanqing's hand and walked away!
Mrs. Ren looked at Nanny Sun and Bai Yanqing walking away from each other, wishing that she could break her teeth!
This Grandma Sun is clearly trying to slap Mrs. Ren in the face! If she wasn't greedy and could still use her, why would Ren suffer from Grandma Sun's anger?
However, Bai Yanqing was not the only one who knew what the Ren family had in mind. How could Nanny Sun, who had lived in the inner palace for many years and was used to the intrigues and intrigues within the palace, not know about it?
It is good that Lai Feiyan is one of the candidates for the prince's concubine, but not all candidates for the palace may be selected! If you are not selected the next day, you will be sent back to your place of origin! And Lai Feiyan's origin is not in the capital, but the Lai family in Jingzhou! If she is lucky enough to be selected, her place of origin will be transferred to the capital. If she is not guilty of a serious crime, she can live in the capital permanently without being moved back!
Furthermore, the candidates for entering the palace also have their own skills. Not everyone can enter the deep palace and high walls, and not everyone can stand firmly! If there is no expert to guide and support you in the palace, even if you enter standing up, you may not be able to carry it out sideways in the future!
Grandma Sun has lived in the inner palace for decades, so she knows her way very well! Moreover, she was the one who was with the former empress, so now that the former empress is gone, she is also one of the best people in front of the current empress and emperor! If you can please Grandma Sun, Lai Feiyan will be able to rely on Grandma Sun for her success in the future!
"The weather is nice today, would you like to have some fun? Let's go out for a walk?"
After breakfast, Bai Yanqing had a sudden thought.
In the past few days, she had spent the whole day walking around the garden with Grandma Sun, which was not very interesting anymore. She was used to living a free life outside the house, and it was somewhat boring to be suddenly detained in the house.
"Oh, my old bones can't stand the torture!"
Grandma Sun shook her head repeatedly. She had been confined in the palace for decades and had long lost her longing for the outside world, so she didn't want to go out and hang out more.
"Don't worry, mama, Yan Qing promises that mama won't be tired!"
As she said that, she winked at Caixingshi, then pulled Nanny Sun and walked out.
When they all arrived at the door of the house, they saw a brand-new carriage parked there, waiting for a long time.
Bai Yanqing carefully helped Grandma Sun into the car. The car had already been covered with thick new cushions. When she sat down, they were moderately soft and firm and not uncomfortable at all. Tea, water and cakes have been prepared in the carriage in case of emergencies.
With the sound of "drive", Cai Xing waved his whip and drove the carriage slowly. Whenever he came to an interesting place, Bai Yanqing would get out of the car and take a stroll, Cai Xing leading the carriage and walking forward slowly. By lifting the car curtain, Grandma Sun could see the excitement outside, and at the same time, she could sit quietly without moving around. It was the best of both worlds.
