The Queen Mother understood the meaning of Bei Yue's words. She didn't mind and led Bei Yue into the main hall.

The Queen Mother asked Bei Yue to come to the banquet. Before the banquet started, the Queen Mother asked Bei Yue many questions about Bei Ming Kingdom.

The things she asked were not confidential, they were all well-known to some people, and Beiyue told the Queen Mother without reservation.

The Queen Mother listened with gusto, and when she heard something novel, she would even compliment her with a few compliments.

"At Princess Mingzhu's age, she must know that a few decades ago, a girl from our Dongchen Kingdom came to Beiming Kingdom to marry her, right?"

While chatting, the Queen Mother asked abruptly.

Bei Yue was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "That should be Mingzhu's imperial grandmother, named Yue Ling'er. Do you know the Queen Mother and the imperial grandmother?"

This is not a secret in Beiming Kingdom, and there is nothing that cannot be said.

The Queen Mother was shocked: "The princess is really Ling'er's granddaughter?"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was so excited, Beiyue felt a little overwhelmed. She nodded: "Indeed."

The Queen Mother stood up immediately, came to sit next to Bei Yue, held her hand, and said excitedly: "Princess Mingzhu, can you tell the Ai family what happened to Ling'er back then? When she arrived in Beiming The country was only a few years old when news of her death came back.”

The purpose of what the Queen Mother did today was to ask about Yue Ling'er. She didn't expect that Princess Mingzhu turned out to be her granddaughter.

So unexpected.

Beiyue did not answer the Queen Mother immediately, but asked the Queen Mother: "Does the Queen Mother know my grandmother?"

The Queen Mother nodded and waved to the palace attendants. After all the palace attendants had left, the Queen Mother sighed and said, "Of course we know each other. The Yi family and Ling'er are very good friends."

Bei Yue frowned: "When the royal grandmother came to Beiming to marry her, was it for you, the queen mother, right?"

The matter of surrogate marriage was not made public in Beiming Kingdom, and the royal family did not care about it, as long as it was a woman from Dongchen Kingdom who came to marry.

She also heard from an old palace maid from back then that the emperor's grandfather was still the emperor of Beiming Kingdom at that time. After the emperor's grandfather learned that it was not Princess Dongchen who came to marry him, he favored the emperor's grandmother and his attitude towards her was not like Princess Dongchen's. Ignore her like that and throw her into the harem, regardless of life or death.

The imperial grandfather doted on the imperial grandmother very much. It was only after the imperial grandmother died of dystocia after giving birth to the emperor that the emperor's attitude changed. He believed that the emperor had killed the imperial grandmother and ignored him.

Anyway, the imperial grandmother had only been in the palace for a few years, and there were a lot of rumors. Rumors about her beauty, rumors about her gentleness and kindness, rumors about her excellent medical skills, but she was not able to save her when she was in labor.

Anyway, the imperial grandmother is a very legendary woman.

The Queen Mother sighed deeply: "It's true that the Ai family feels very sorry for Ling'er, that's why they ask this question."

Bei Yue was noncommittal about what happened back then. She was curious about why the Queen Mother felt guilty about the Imperial Grandmother. After decades of struggling in the harem, she had long been as hard-hearted as a rock, but she was very interested in a woman who married for her. Bei Yue was a little puzzled by such lingering thoughts.

None of the women in the harem were sentimental. Beiyue would not be confused by the Queen Mother's behavior at all, but said calmly: "After many years, the emperor's grandmother has passed away. I think the emperor's grandmother was very happy about what happened back then. Yes, the Queen Mother does not need to blame herself."

"Hey! Maybe the Ai family is old and always thinking about the past."

How could the Queen Mother not see that Bei Yue didn't believe her at all and just treated her casually, but she was really feeling guilty inside.Perhaps she was tired of staying in a place like the harem, which was full of intrigues and calculations, and the innocent friendship in the boudoir made her unable to let go.

She sighed, returned to her seat, and asked Aunt Hua to pass on the meal.

She called out to Aunt Hua, but she didn't answer her, so she asked the palace servants to pass on the food.

Then the two of them ate in silence.

Outside the palace gate, Nanny Hua and Nanny Wei were staring at each other for a long time, before Nanny Wei said, "I didn't expect that when we meet again, it would be under such circumstances."

Aunt Hua nodded, led Aunt Wei to a secluded place in the garden, sat down, and then asked Aunt Wei: "How did you come here all these years, and how did you go to Beiming Kingdom?"

Aunt Wei pursed her lips, as if recalling the past, and then she said: "After we dispersed, I wandered around with a group of entertainers, and then I went to Beiming Country. I don't think the folk customs in Benming Country are more sturdy. He also provoked children from well-established families, and later the gang disbanded.

In order to survive, I went to the palace and became a maid. Later, after the third princess was born, the queen assigned me to the third princess to protect her. What about you, why did you come to the palace? "

Because she protects the third princess, she has to grow up, otherwise she will be like other princes and princesses, who are destined to be born but not grow up.

Aunt Hua: "It's almost like you. After we got separated, I came to the capital alone, thinking that it would be easy to find something to do here. It happened that the Queen Mother was buying maids, so I applied for the job in Zhang Mansion. , became the maid of the Queen Mother, and later entered the palace with the Queen Mother, until now."

Both of them sighed heavily. It's true that things are different and people didn't expect that the two of them would meet one day, and they were both old when they met.

It turns out that the two of them were disciples of a Jianghu gang. These disciples were all orphans without fathers and mothers, and were taken in by the gang.

Other gangs didn't like it and thought it was fake mercy. They wiped out the gang overnight, and the disciples in the gang fled in all directions.

They were very close at the time, and they were both still young, only in their teens. After escaping, they didn't want to accidentally separate, and that's how they are now.

The reason why Nanny Wei recognized Nanny Hua was the silver hairpin on her head. It was a birthday gift that Nanny Wei gave to Nanny Hua when she was ten years old. It was custom-made for her.

She could recognize it at a glance. The key was that the head of the hairpin was an eagle's head.

Aunt Wei said that when they grow up, they should spread their wings and fly freely in the sky like eagles.

Aunt Hua's silver hairpin had never left her body and she wore it all year round. She thought that one day Aunt Wei would be able to see this hairpin and recognize her at a glance.

Unexpectedly, they have been wearing this for decades, but they meet in this palace when they are old, and they each serve their master.

The two talked for a long time before reluctantly leaving. After all, they were not free and had a master to serve.

And this was in the palace, where eyes were everywhere.

Aunt Hua said: "There are still a few days until you leave. I will find time to find you another day."

Aunt Wei nodded: "I'll wait for you."

The two returned to the main hall. The Queen Mother and the others had finished their meal. Seeing that the Queen Mother did not look very good, Aunt Wei and Bei Yue said goodbye to the Queen Mother and left the palace.
