Nanny Nie wasn't swayed by much, but one thing Nanny Yu had said struck a chord: who wouldn't want to leave the palace safe and sound?
She wanted that, too.
Instead of returning to Roufu Palace, Nanny Nie headed straight for Shouci Palace.
When she arrived at Shouci Palace, she couldn't help but feel that the palace attendants at the gate looked a bit strange for some reason. But she couldn't dwell on it now. She stepped forward to announce that she was requesting an audience with Princess Consort Wan, and to her surprise, no one gave her any trouble and simply let her in.
Nanny Nie found this even stranger. 'Are the people of Shouci Palace always this accommodating?'
Nanny Sun had often grumbled about how difficult the people at Shouci Palace were to deal with. 'Was she lying?'
Nanny Nie kept her head slightly bowed as she walked inside. The birthday banquet was in full swing; even before entering the hall, she could hear the sounds of music and dancing.
