Chapter 5 — The Little Crown Prince's Nurse

Under my dedicated care, the little Crown Prince grew up extremely healthy. I also do sensory training for it, teaching it to grasp and crawl. The number of times the little Crown Prince cried became less and less. The queen's attitude towards me also silently changed a lot, no longer as cold as before. The total rewards she gave me were enough for me to buy two buildings in the capital. I happily put this money away, thinking that after I leave the palace, I will buy a house and live happily. Anyway, after the Crown Prince learns to speak, he probably won't need me anymore. But unexpectedly, just when I was dreaming about the future, an unexpected person entered the palace. My step-sister, Wen Taozhi. She suddenly transformed from a wealthy daughter into a noble lady in the palace. The reason was that the emperor was out on patrol, met her on a boat, and then the two of them fell in love. Her status as a householder's daughter, logically speaking, should not allow her to enter the palace. But she was pregnant, her mother loved her child, and the emperor admitted her to the palace and made her a Dao nobleman. That day, I stood next to the queen. The Queen held the little Crown Prince and sat on the phoenix chair, waiting for the harem concubines to come and pay their respects. I just kept looking at each other with On Dao Chi who had just entered the palace. The moment I saw her, endless anger immediately rose in my heart. This is anger coming from the original owner. It was she and her mother who killed the original owner. Since I have taken over the identity of the original owner, I should take revenge on her behalf. But now she is a noble lady, and my status is after all just that of a nanny, I cannot act rashly. After she asked the queen to comfort her, she sat down in her position, occasionally looking at me, the corner of her mouth carrying a smile as if it were nothing. Since the original owner's biological mother passed away, On Dao Chi has always considered herself his daughter. Eat the best, wear the best, and bully the original owner every day. The original owner's father was intentionally a parasitic phoenix male. Even the mansion I live in and the shop that is open are all owned by the original owner's mother. He took over all his wife's assets. After the original owner's mother died, he didn't care about this daughter even more, wishing he could let her die. Now that I have so much silver, it's time to take back what belongs to me. When it was time for the little Crown Prince to eat, I carried the little Crown Prince down. Waiting for the little Crown Prince to eat and drink enough and fall asleep, I'm making new diapers and baby powder for him. At this time, a palace maid came and said that Lady Dao wanted to see me. Originally I didn't want to go, but thinking back, if she wanted to correct me, I couldn't avoid the first day and I couldn't avoid the fifteenth. Putting down the diaper, I went to Ngu Hoa garden. On Dao Chi sat on a swing, wearing even more precious clothes than when he was in the palace, and wearing luxurious armor on his hands. She slowly swung back and forth, her mouth curled into a smile. I also recognized two palace maids standing next to them. Those were the maids and concubines of her when they were still in the palace. Under her orders, they had bullied the original owner many times. Seeing me, palace maid Tieu Luc quickly walked over and kicked me in the thigh.

"Brave! Seeing noble Dao, you still don't kneel down to pay your respects, you don't know your dignity, you deserve to be punished!"

I was kicked and almost fell to my knees, but luckily I was able to hold on to the tree next to me in time to steady myself. On Dao Chi played with the armor in his hand and laughed don't laugh.

"My sister is now just a maid serving others, with a lowly status. This palace is a noble person of the king. When you meet this palace, you don't even understand the etiquette? Did your biological mother die early, and no one taught you the rules?"

Hearing that, anger flared up in my heart. But I know I can't be emotional.

"Your honor is joking. Women are the Crown Prince's concubines, serving the Queen's will to take care of His Highness. According to palace rules, the Crown Prince's concubine only requests to pay respects to the queen, queen mother and His Majesty. Ordinary nobles are not qualified to receive bows and prayers from women."

I said leisurely, facing her. On Dao Chi stepped down from the swing and stroked his slightly protruding belly. Right now, she is a mother who loves her child and is so proud that she forgets herself.

"You really have the skills now, don't you? Have you forgotten how I tortured you when you were still in the palace?"

She approached me, her voice like a poisonous snake slithering through my neck. My memories are like rising sea water. She falsely accused the original owner of ruining her aunt's clothes, causing the original owner to be punished by kneeling for two hours. She used a needle to stab the original owner's finger until all ten fingers were bruised and swollen. In the end, she even found a man who wanted to humiliate the original owner's purity. The three of them lived in the original owner's mother and daughter's house, used the original owner's mother and daughter's store, and yet they treated that person's daughter so cruelly. I cleared my throat and said:

"You just ordered someone to use your foot to injure me, which is already humiliating the servants of the Eastern Palace. You rely on your position to bully the Crown Prince's concubine. If this story spreads to the ears of the Queen and Your Majesty, I wonder if you will be able to bear it?"

I raised my eyebrows at her. Silently counting the time in my heart. I had long predicted that Wen Dao Chi would call me to meet her.
