To Enter the Palace

Nangong Yue meaningfully looked at Bai Muxiao and her first aunt Nangong Yun. She thought to herself, Eldest Aunt and cousin are indeed well-informed. Once they heard that the palace order had been issued, they rushed over so quickly.

And her good cousin, her skin was really thick. She looked so calm as if she had completely forgotten what happened half a month ago. This was truly a skill!

Nangong Yue acted as if she didn't hear her. She simply bowed towards the Old Madame and said, "Thank you, Grandmother for your generosity." Subsequently, she calmly walked to the side of the Old Madame and sat down.

"Good girl." The Old Madame patted the back of Nangong Yue's hand with a look of affection.

For a moment, the others all had different expressions. Only Madame Lin revealed a smile, from the bottom of her heart, feeling joy for her daughter having been favored by her mother-in-law.

Although Nangong Yue had ill will in her heart, she was not stupid enough to reject the Old Madame's affection in front of everyone.

Instead, she sat obediently with an appearance of being overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. If she wanted to gain recognition and status in this family, the Old Madame's "affection" was also very necessary.

The Old Madame smiled in satisfaction and continued, "Since Yue'er has come, I have something to say."

"The empress of the palace sent a decree this morning," Old Madame spoke slowly, her tone filled with unconcealable pride. "With the empress's grace, she announced that the Nangong Family's women will enter the palace."

With that, she patted Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue who were sitting beside her, "Cheng'er, Yue'er, in three days, the two of you will follow me and Madame Zhao into the palace."

The Old Madame's tone sounded amiable, but it was unquestionable. In her eyes, this was a great honor, how could she allow others to reject it?

"Thank you, Grandmother." Nangong Cheng bowed gracefully with a slight smile on her face, exuding the noble dignity of a lady.

The others had ugly expressions on their faces, including Bai Muxiao.

Nangong Yue couldn't help but smile sarcastically as she thought, "Cousin Xiao Xiao, could it be that you think Grandmother will bring you into the palace?"

"Thank you, Grandmother!" Nangong Yue purposely put on a happy expression. "It's truly granddaughter's fortune to be able to enter the palace and take a look."

In reality, Nangong Yue was also surprised that the Old Madame would bring her into the palace. In her previous life, the Old Madame had also accepted the decree to enter the palace, but only Madame Zhao and her eldest cousin, Nangong Cheng were allowed to enter the palace.

Moreover, she remembered that it should have been another half a month before the Old Madame entered the palace in her previous life, but her current life had been brought forward. It seemed that the Linglong Ginseng still had the effect that the Old Madame wanted.

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and smiled, but her smile contained a coldness that only she could understand.

Does Grandmother think that it will make me feel grateful for this little favor? She would never forget how her grandmother had ignored her severe illness and refused to return the Linglong Ginseng.

In this family, how could there be any affection between ancestors? There were only benefits.

"Grandmother, Grandmother." The third wife's first son, Nangong Hao, suddenly scurried to the front of the Old Madame with his legs crossed. He said innocently and cutely, "What is the Imperial Palace like? Can you bring Hao'er and fourth sister with you? "

The Old Madame didn't say anything and only glanced at them with a smile that wasn't a smile.

"Hao-ge, don't be naughty." A gentle male voice suddenly sounded out. It was the main branch's eldest son, Nangong Feng. He was already thirteen years old. With a face as fair as jade and a gentle and refined demeanor, he wore a moon-white robe and looked just like an elegant and refined young master.

"The imperial harem's rules are strict. The empress summoned grandmother to bring the women into the palace. You're a boy, so you naturally can't go. "With that, he looked towards Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue, instructing them with his elder brother's demeanor, "Cheng'er, Yue'er, since you have the honour to follow Grandmother into the palace, then you must be careful. Do not bring shame to our Nangong Family."

"Thank you for your teachings, brother." Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue blessed him respectfully.

"But …" said by Nangong Shun

She suppressed the unwillingness in her eyes and pretended to be concerned about Nangong Yue as she said, "Third sister, you've just recovered from your illness. In order to recuperate, you haven't even gone to take care of yourself yet. If you accidentally made a mistake in the palace, it would no longer be beautiful." She mischievously blinked with an innocent look, as if she was only thinking about her family and not Nangong Yue.

"Cousin Shun is right." Bai Muxiao took over Nangong Shun's words. With a kind smile, she gave off the impression of a caring little sister. Cousin Sister Yue, you must take good care of your health. "

"Thank you for your concern, Cousin Xiao." Nangong Yue indifferently sized up Bai Muxiao, the latter's tender face overlapping that of her previous life's coquettish and malicious. She knew how to disguise herself when she was eight years old.

In her previous life, she had truly been an idiot. It took so many years for her to realize that a sheep with wolf skin was just a toy. This wolf with sheep skin was the scariest.

Nangong Yue was completely unaware of what the others behind her were saying. Everyone chatted about the Old Madame for a while longer before dispersing.

Madame Lin held Nangong Yue's hand. Her face was filled with unconcealable joy as she escorted her daughter back to her room. Only then did she relinquish her hold on Nangong Yue and leave.

Nangong Yue looked at the Madame Lin's departing back view with a complicated expression.

In her previous life, she had only entered the palace for the first time at the age of fourteen until she was designated as the third prince's consort.

The fact that the Imperial Palace was coming for her meant that Han Lingfu was coming for her as well!

Nangong Yue clenched her fists tightly. No matter what happened in front of her, she wouldn't be afraid.

In this life, I, Nangong Yue, will not repeat the same mistake again!

On the second day, after bidding farewell to the Old Madame, Nangong Yue followed Nangong Xin to his room and sent all the maids out.

Although men and women were supposed to be separated at seven years old, this was the Lin Clan's courtyard, and Nangong Xin was only five years old in mind, so the maidservants had chosen to ignore it.

After closing the door, Nangong Yue pulled her brother to sit by the side of the table. She then took out a cloth bag from her bosom and neatly unwrapped the cloth bag, which contained the dozens of silver needles that she had bought from the Li family medicine store.

Yesterday, she had carefully disinfected these silver needles.

Nangong Xin curiously looked at the silver needles and asked simply, "Little sister, you have prepared so many embroidery needles, are you going to learn it?"

Nangong Yue glanced at Nangong Xin. He didn't know why, but he felt a chill run down his spine and felt like his little sister was staring at him… Bad?

Nangong Yue took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped her hands. She picked up one of the silver needles and said, "Big brother, can I help you with a few acupuncture needles?"

Nangong Xin almost jumped up in fright. She looked pitifully at Nangong Yue with her eyes as wet as a deer's. He timidly asked, "Little sister, what made you unhappy?"

His eyes seemed to be saying, "Sister, if I'm in the wrong, I'll definitely change!"
