Chapter 1093 Leaving the Palace
Queen Mother Xu was very happy.

She had previously had some reservations about the family background of Haitang, her future nephew's wife. But after meeting her in person today, she felt that Haitang's personality and character were just what she wanted. After hearing what Haitang said, she felt that Haitang was her confidant!

That's right! In the past, Concubine Sun and the Sun family always wanted to find fault with her remarrying, trying to ruin her reputation, degrade her status, and then shake her son's qualification to succeed the throne. But what did she do wrong? ! She entered the palace at the order of her ex-husband to be a wet nurse for Queen Wu's son. After the fire in Kunning Palace, she protected the little prince and escaped from the sea of ​​fire. In order to protect the little prince, she stayed in Cining Palace as a palace maid and wet nurse. Her ex-husband divorced his wife and remarried first, and she did not betray her husband and remarry. She did not do anything to let down the Jin family. She became a concubine to protect the seventh prince and give birth to a new monarch. It was also to protect the seventh prince and continue the royal incense. If there was no her, what would the royal family look like now? ! I am afraid that treacherous ministers are in power, the former emperor has no heir, and the country is in turmoil. That would be the real hell!
She has made such great contributions and has never made any mistakes. It is right for the world to praise and respect her. Only those villains with ulterior motives would try to make a fuss about her remarriage.

Now, the late emperor has already made a final judgment on her life experience, and no one in the world dares to mention that she is a remarried woman. She just saw two women who shared the same suffering, and kindly praised them and gave them some gifts to comfort them. That was to win over loyal ministers for the new emperor and to show good marriage for her nephew. There was such an ignorant person as Concubine Zhang Gong who jumped out to make trouble. It was really unreasonable! If the Zhang family continues to be so ignorant, they can't blame her for ignoring their past friendship in the future. She specifically asked the new emperor to issue an order to raise Concubine Zhang Gong's position. Could it be that she wanted to give the other party the confidence to make trouble for her? !

Empress Dowager Xu was determined to teach Concubine Zhang Gong, who lived in a side hall in the backyard, a lesson, but she showed no sign of surprise. She smiled lovingly and praised Haitang many times. She also rewarded her with many clothes, jewelry, new books, and stationery, and then she ordered her trusted palace maid to send Haitang out of the palace.

When Haitang left Shoukang Palace, she was not only led by the nanny of Empress Dowager Xu, but also followed by a string of palace servants and eunuchs, carrying large and small bags, with rich harvests. Seeing this, the palace servants who met along the way all made way, glanced at Haitang with envy, and felt that there was another celebrity in the capital.

The empress dowager's trusted nanny accompanied Haitang out of the palace and chatted with her about family matters. She introduced herself as an old friend of the Cining Palace and a sister of Ma Shangyi for decades. She had heard Ma Shangyi speak well of Haitang many times, praising her for her talent in both civil and military affairs, her familiarity with poetry and books, her proficiency in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, yet she was very steady and low-key, and did not care about fame. She said that she was a perfect match for the empress dowager's nephew, Master Jin, and so on.

Haitang listened with a slightly red face, and occasionally said a few humble words, but she could not stand the flattery of this nanny. She thought to herself that in her previous life in the palace, she had never seen anyone who was so good at flattery. No wonder she became the most respected nanny beside Empress Dowager Xu!

Haitang endured it and finally calmed down, wondering if she should learn some new words to curry favor with others from the nanny's flattery. Then she saw a familiar figure standing at the palace gate not far ahead. It was Zhang Yingfeng, the daughter of the Zhang family's branch branch who attended the flower-viewing banquet with her today.

Zhang Yingfeng stood at the palace gate, with only an ordinary-dressed palace maid beside her. The maid was talking to the guard at the gate and would occasionally look back at Zhang Yingfeng. The maid stood there with her head down, looking a bit pitiful.

The nanny probably recognized the palace servant, who was also serving in Shoukang Palace. Seeing this, she greeted Haitang in a low voice and walked up to ask, "What happened?"

The palace maid hurried over to report to her. Although she looked a little panicked, she still managed to explain the whole thing clearly.

The Zhang family carriage that sent Zhang Yingfeng to the palace today had already left in advance. It is said that this was an order personally issued by Concubine Zhang Gong. She was anxious to give several gifts to her niece from her mother's family. She could not wait even a moment, so she sent her trusted servants to inform her and ordered the coachman and maids to drive the gifts back to the Zhang family. So, when Zhang Yingfeng came out of Concubine Zhang Gong and arrived at the palace gate under the guidance of the palace servants, there was no carriage to go home, so she had to stay here. The guards guarding the palace gate didn't know what was going on here. The Zhang family's carriage, the Zhang family's servants, and the order of the Zhang family's concubine, could they stop them? At most, they would help to send a message to the Zhang family, asking them to send another car to pick up their daughter, or directly hire a carriage outside to send Miss Zhang back home. But in that case, Zhang Yingfeng would have to walk outside the imperial city to take a car. It is impossible for civilian carriages to drive into the imperial city to pick people up.

The palace maid who led the way in Shoukang Palace did not want to accompany Zhang Yingfeng to the gate of the imperial city to take a car, so she could only argue with the imperial guards, hoping that someone would send a message to the Zhang family and send a car to pick her up. However, the imperial guards were on duty, so how could they dare to leave their posts without orders? They could only wait until the designated patrol time and then send someone to pass on a message.

No one in the Zhang family is an official in the six ministries, but there is a young man who is idle in the Honglu Temple. Regardless of whether he is on duty today, it is still no problem to send someone to take a message to the Honglu Temple and ask someone to pass the message back to the Zhang family. But that way, it will take a lot of time. Zhang Yingfeng is afraid that she will have to wait at the palace gate for a long time.

Nanny's eyes widened as she heard this. She couldn't think of why Concubine Zhang Gong would do this?! She wanted to send something to her niece from her mother's family, and she was so anxious that she couldn't even wait for her other niece to walk from Shoukang Palace to the palace gate?! Zhang Yingfeng encountered such an embarrassing and embarrassing thing, which would certainly make people laugh, but could the Zhang family she belonged to have a glorious face?!

Concubine Zhang Gong has always attached the greatest importance to the family's dignity!

The maid was a little confused for a moment, wondering if she should go back to Shoukang Palace to report to the Queen Mother. Haitang had already understood what was going on. She looked at Zhang Yingfeng biting her lip and trying hard to maintain a decent demeanor, sighed in her heart, and said to the maid with a smile: "My carriage is still waiting outside the palace gate, and the carriage is quite spacious. If Miss Zhang doesn't mind, please ask her to ride with me. I will take her home first, and it won't be too late to return home later."

The nanny was overjoyed: "Ms. Hai, are you serious?!"

Zhang Yingfeng looked up in surprise when she heard this. She had not forgotten that not long ago, her cousin, Concubine Zhang Gong, had spoken rudely in front of Miss Hai and greatly belittled the women of the Hai family. Miss Hai was such a magnanimous person who didn't bear any grudges? !

Haitang just smiled and nodded at her and the nanny: "It's just a small favor. It's just that our carriage is not as gorgeous as others, but it's still clean. I hope Miss Zhang doesn't mind it."

Zhang Yingfeng looked straight at her, her eyes slightly reddened: "Ms. Hai, you are too kind. You have helped me a lot, I don't know how to express my gratitude, how can you say that you despise me?"
