Chapter 99 Entering the Palace to Accompany Consort Jiang

"Fourth Senior Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me. My legs are really sore from standing."

Luo Chujiu tried to get away with it by acting cute, but this time, Nalan Qingyin didn't forgive her so easily.

"No way! You have to stand there for a full half hour! Otherwise, you'll be letting down my beloved pet that I've raised for so many years!"

Nalan Qingyin's eyes were filled with sorrow. He had been raising these fish for almost ten years, but who knew that his junior sister would kill them all!
Nalan Qingyin was very sad and wanted to find a place to bury the carp so that they could rest in peace.

Upon hearing this, Luo Chujiu couldn't help but pout, clearly displeased.

"Fourth Senior Brother, they didn't do it on purpose. They just accidentally overfed them. Who knew they'd be so weak and die from overeating?"

"You still said that!"

Nalan Qingyin glared at Luo Chujiu, who obediently shut her mouth and stood obediently as punishment.

Feiyun, Qingying, and Caizhao also stood aside, accompanying Luo Chujiu.

By the time Nalan Qingyin returned after burying the carp, half an hour had passed, and Luo Chujiu's punishment of standing was lifted.

Luo Chujiu breathed a long sigh of relief.

"You're still sighing? I'm only making you stand in the corner for half an hour."

Nalan Qingyin groaned and gave Luo Chujiu a disgruntled look.

Luo Chujiu glanced back at him with displeasure:
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to. I was just bored and feeding them by the pond. Who knew they didn't even know if they were full or not, and kept eating. I thought the carp had been replaced a long time ago."

Who would have thought that it was always the same few greedy carp, without any other fish being introduced, that they all ate themselves to death.

Hearing Luo Chujiu's sophistry, Nalan Qingyin didn't say anything more. The carp was already dead, did he really want his junior sister to atone with her death?

"Alright, let's leave it at that. Just be careful in the future, don't feed the few carp I just released into the pond to death again."

Nalan Qingyin looked at Luo Chujiu with a hint of advice.

Luo Chujiu nodded, indicating that she would never feed the carp randomly again.

Having learned her lesson this time, if she were to feed her fourth senior brother's carp again, it could only be a premeditated act.

"By the way, when His Majesty left the palace today, he told me that Consort Jiang misses you very much and wants you to come to the palace to keep her company."

"Cousin Kui Kui? If Fourth Senior Brother hadn't mentioned it, I would have almost forgotten about Cousin Kui Kui! But Senior Brother, could you help me ask Cousin Kui Kui if I could bring Ruan Baobao into the palace as well? I promised her last time that I would take her to meet Cousin Kui Kui if I had the chance."

“Alright, then I will send someone to deliver a message to His Majesty and ask for his opinion. Now, no matter who wants to see Consort Jiang, they must obtain His Majesty’s permission.”

"Yes, if His Majesty agrees, I will bring Ruan Baobao to the palace later to accompany my cousin Kui Kui!"

Luo Chujiu said excitedly.

Nalan Qingyin acted swiftly, receiving His Majesty's approval in less than an hour:
"I'll send someone to take you to my third senior brother's place. You can then pick her up and go to the palace together. Take my token with you, and no one will dare to stop you."

"Okay, thank you, Fourth Senior Brother!"

When Ruan Baobao heard that Luo Chujiu was going to take her to the palace to see Consort Jiang, she was overwhelmed with gratitude.

"Did His Majesty and Consort Jiang both agree to my entering the palace?"

Ruan Baobao was worried that it would cause Luo Chujiu unnecessary trouble.

"Yu Yan, don't worry. I have already consulted His Majesty beforehand, and he has agreed. You don't need to worry, I will get you out of the palace safely."

Luo Chujiu patted her chest confidently and said. Fu Heng, standing to the side, could tell his daughter wanted to enter the palace, so he also said:
"Don't worry, trust your sixth aunt. Even if things go wrong, your father will bail you out."

After hearing Fu Heng's words, Ruan Baobao immediately felt confident and boarded Luo Chujiu's carriage.

"Third Senior Brother, I will definitely return Yu Yan intact. Don't worry, we will definitely be back by sunset."

Luo Chujiu looked at Fuheng and said, Fuheng nodded, smiled and waved to signal them to hurry into the palace and return as soon as possible.

Sitting in the carriage, Luo Chujiu sensed Ruan Baobao's nervousness, so she comforted her:

"Yu Yan, you don't need to be nervous. Cousin Kui Kui is very approachable, and His Majesty is also very easy to talk to. He won't be harsh on you."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Baobao smiled gently at Luo Chujiu:
"Thank you, Auntie. I'm not so nervous now."

After chatting for a while in the carriage, Ruan Baobao completely relaxed.

The carriage drove directly into the palace and stopped at Luoheng Palace.

Perhaps Xiao Jinglin had given prior instructions, because Luo Chujiu and her group had no trouble getting through and stopped directly at the entrance of Luoheng Palace.

The two got off the carriage and went inside together.

Consort Jiang was delighted to see Luo Chujiu arrive, but she did not overlook the people Luo Chujiu brought with her.

"Xiao Jiu, who is this? Aren't you going to introduce him to me?"

Consort Jiang smiled and looked at Ruan Baobao and Luo Chujiu.

A beautiful woman's smile is even more captivating.

Even though Ruan Baobao had seen many gentle and beautiful women from Jiangnan, she was still moved by Consort Jiang's beauty. She had never seen such a beautiful woman before.

"This humble citizen, Ruan Baobao, greets Consort Jiang."

Ruan Baobao bowed to Consort Jiang, then was told to stand up. Consort Jiang looked at Luo Chujiu beside her, asking with her eyes, and Luo Chujiu explained:

“Cousin Kui Kui, this is my third senior brother’s daughter, so she’s practically my niece. I mentioned Cousin Kui Kui to her before, saying that Cousin Kui Kui is the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen, and she’s the second most beautiful. She’s been quite curious about Cousin Kui Kui ever since. This time, when I went to the palace to visit Cousin Kui Kui, I brought her along. I hope Cousin Kui Kui won’t mind?”

Hearing Luo Chujiu's words, Consort Jiang smiled with relief:

"Of course not, it's just that I didn't expect your relationship to be that of aunt and niece. You're still so young, yet you're already an elder."

Consort Jiang covered her mouth and laughed, teasing Luo Chujiu.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Baobao couldn't help but smile.

"Cousin Kui Kui, please don't make fun of me. I'm young but have a high seniority, there's nothing I can do about it."

Consort Jiang smiled and pulled Luo Chujiu and Ruan Baobao to sit down and chat.

"Cousin Kui Kui, let me take your pulse first to see how you and the baby are doing."

After Luo Chujiu sat down, she went to check Consort Jiang's pulse. Consort Jiang did not stop Luo Chujiu from doing so and extended her wrist, allowing Luo Chujiu to check it.

Ruan Baobao was somewhat surprised, "Is Consort Jiang already pregnant?"

"Yes, it's been less than three months, so you're probably not showing yet, and you probably can't tell."

Consort Jiang explained in a low voice, then looked at Luo Chujiu with a smile, curious about what kind of pulse she could diagnose.
