Chapter 121 The Queen Mother Suspects Nanny Xia
The Queen Mother said angrily: "What do you know? In the past, my family was oppressed, and the Ji family was oppressed as well. We were reduced to dust in the capital, and I could only watch and could do nothing.

Now that my own son has become the emperor, can't I promote someone from the Ji family?

That's also his uncle's family, they are relatives."

Nanny Song sighed and said, "Empress Dowager, in the eyes of the emperor, the emperor would not think so. In the emperor's heart, he is a descendant of the royal family Ling, not a descendant of the Ji family."

Nanny Song is different from Nanny Xia. They are both elders in the palace, but she is not as confused as Nanny Xia, who only knows how to brag and advocate in the empress dowager's ears, or speak to the empress dowager's wishes.

She was very insightful and could tell at a glance that Ling Xiao was not someone the Queen Mother could manipulate at will.

She felt that it would be better for the empress dowager not to go against the emperor. Generally, no empress dowager who went against the emperor would have a good ending.

Also, Nanny Song is so old, but she was chosen to serve the Empress Dowager. She must be a good Nanny and not be like Nanny Xia, who only knows how to brag and flatter the Empress Dowager, and always gives bad advice when something happens, which makes the relationship between the Empress Dowager and the Emperor further and further apart.

She hoped that her later years would be peaceful and smooth, but before she could even begin to serve the Empress Dowager, she passed away. She had to go back to being a handyman and spent her later years in misery.

The Queen Mother looked at Nanny Song meaningfully and said, "You mean to say that in the eyes of the Emperor, there is only the Ling family and not the Ji family?"

She really underestimated this Nanny Song, as she made her hear different statements.

In her cognition, she is a daughter of the Ji family and shares the honor and disgrace with the Ji family.

Nanny Song nodded: "Yes, it's like the empress dowager is a daughter of an ordinary family who marries into her husband's family. She takes care of her husband and children at home, takes care of the household chores for her husband, and makes her husband worry-free. She no longer takes her natal family as the priority. The empress dowager should understand this."

"You are very brave to tell me this."

The empress dowager couldn't help but take a closer look at Nanny Song. She chose Nanny Song to serve her because she thought that as an elder in the palace, she must be a perceptive and capable person.

It would be difficult to stay in the palace until old age if you don't have some ability.

I didn't expect that Nanny Song was such a smart person and her words hit the nail on the head.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "Then you can go down. I will calm down by myself."

The Queen Mother was not stupid. Nanny Song's words immediately cleared her mind.

What Nanny Song said made sense. Even though she was the empress dowager and the emperor's biological mother, in front of the Ling royal family, she was just a concubine of the Ling family.

She was still a royal concubine. Without the royal halo, she was just a concubine who could only stay in the back house and would never be able to make a name for herself in her life.

And no matter where you are, there is always a king before the ministers, a king before the ministers, a wife before the concubines, and these positions can never be reversed.

She is obsessed with appearance.

She thought she was the queen mother, the most noble woman in the Great Yan Kingdom, and she could do whatever she wanted.

This kingdom belongs to the Ling family, not her Ji family. Her Ji family is just an in-law.

The Queen Mother became more and more frightened the more she thought about it. Fortunately, Nanny Song woke her up today, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

In any dynasty, no emperor allowed his relatives by marriage to exercise monopolistic power.

Alas! The Queen Mother sighed heavily. Never mind. Just let it go. The fate of the Ji family depends on them.

She was eager to help the Ji family reach the top, but she was also the Ji family's death warrant.

The Queen Mother calmed down for a long time, called Nanny Song, and asked her to pick out some things that Su Nanyi needed from her storeroom and send them to her. When Nanny Xia saw that Nanny Song had left, she took the opportunity and immediately came to the Queen Mother, just like before.

While massaging the empress dowager's shoulders, she angrily said, "Empress Dowager, if you compromise with the emperor like this, it will become a habit for you to bow your head first every time.

After all, the emperor is the empress dowager's son. It should be the emperor who bows his head first and apologizes to you.

By doing this, aren't you lowering your noble status and position in the eyes of the people? How will the people view the Queen Mother in the future?

In my opinion, they should not be spoiled and should be severely punished."

"Snapped!"

"You little dog slave, I want to do something, but I have no right to let you interfere. Who the hell are you?!"

The Empress Dowager found what she heard very irritating. If it weren't for what Nanny Song said before, she would have thought that what Nanny Xia said made sense.

This is how she should be. She is the emperor's biological mother, and the emperor should respect her.

Now that she thinks about it, every time she was angry, this old slave would say something in front of her that would make her even angrier and make her even more disgusted with people and things that didn't go her way.

Now he is trying to sow discord between her and Xiao'er.

The Queen Mother was very suspicious that this old slave was a spy planted by someone next to her.

But Nanny Xia was an old lady who had been with her since she was a child, otherwise she would not allow her to act so presumptuous in front of her.

When the empress dowager thought of this, she shuddered uncontrollably. She remembered that Nanny Xia was a bought maid in the mansion and was assigned to her by her grandmother.

If this old villain came to her with a purpose, it was either done intentionally by her grandmother, or he was a spy sent by someone else.

Because at that time, she had already pledged her life to the late emperor, and it was set in stone that she would become his concubine, either the prince's principal wife or a concubine.

Her grandmother was not her biological grandmother, but only her step-grandmother. If she did it on purpose, then her grandmother would be too scary.

She lost her biological mother when she was young, and was raised by her mother, who raised her to be arrogant and domineering.

This is flattering her to death!!
The Queen Mother was heartbroken.

Her grandmother taught her since she was young that she was the daughter of the Ji family, and that only when the Ji family became stronger could they better support her.

She believed it and kept working hard.

Nanny Xia was stunned by the slap from the empress dowager. After hearing what the empress dowager said, she was so scared that she immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "Empress dowager, please calm down. What did I say to upset you? I am telling the truth."

Nanny Xia still doesn't understand why the empress dowager was angry with her. She always did this in the past, adding fuel to the fire. Why did the empress dowager seem to have come to her senses today and not fall for her trick?

The Queen Mother was furious when she heard this. She kicked Nanny Xia in the stomach and pointed at her, saying, "You old rascal, tell me the truth. Who sent you to me to say these divisive words?"

Isn't it just to sow discord? When she was in Ji's family, she was trying to sow discord between her and the brothers and sisters of Ji's family.

After becoming a concubine, she constantly stirred up conflicts among the other concubines. If the late emperor had not protected her, she would have died long ago.

In Prince Rong's Mansion, he tried to sow discord between him and Su Nanyi, saying that the kind of woman who was not presentable was a humiliation for the Emperor, so there was no need to be nice to her. It would be better to torture her to death, out of sight, out of mind.
