Each palace maid has her own duties, so she cannot easily go to other places in the palace. Therefore, although Zi Ling is not unfamiliar with Weiyang Palace, this is the first time she has come here since her rebirth.
But she wasn’t afraid; she only felt a faint excitement at achieving her goal.
Upon arriving at Weiyang Palace, Zi Ling immediately knelt down, saying, “This servant greets Your Majesty the Empress and the Ninth Princess!”
“Rise. You’re the little palace maid who makes pastries?” The Empress asked Ziling calmly.
Hearing this, Zi Ling immediately nodded: “Your Majesty, it is indeed this servant.”
The Empress nodded in satisfaction. Then she looked at Mu Yunge and said, “Xiao Jiu’er loves the pastries you make. From now on, you can stay in my small kitchen and make pastries for Xiao Jiu’er. When other nobles in the palace need them, you can go back to the Imperial Kitchen.”
“Yes, Your Majesty the Empress, this servant obeys.” Zi Ling suppressed her pounding heart.
At this moment, Mu Yunge suddenly looked at her and said, “Eh? Why do you look so familiar?”
Hearing Mu Yunge’s words, the Empress’s eyes narrowed slightly, and then she looked at Zi Ling.
At this moment, Zi Ling immediately explained, “On the day the Ninth Princess fell into the water, it was this servant who took you ashore from the Fourth Prince and gave first aid. The Ninth Princess thought this servant looked familiar, probably because she had seen this servant’s face in her dazed state.”
Upon hearing this, Mu Yunge immediately showed a look of realization: “I see.”
The Empress then looked at Nanny Zhang.
After Nanny Zhang went out to inquire, she returned and nodded to the Empress.
The Empress’s expression softened: “I see. The imperial physician said that fortunately, someone performed first aid on Xiao Jiu’er, preventing a serious accident. But His Majesty was furious at the time. You must have been punished, right?”
Upon hearing this, Zi Ling immediately said, “It was because this servant discovered it too late, so it is only right that I am punished.”
The Empress nodded calmly and said, “Nanny Zhang, reward her.”
Hearing this, Nanny Zhang immediately nodded and led Zi Ling away.
Just before leaving, Zi Ling heard Mu Yunge suddenly burst into tears, “Waaah… Mother, my tooth hurts!”
A toothache?!
A toothache isn’t a disease, but it can be excruciating.
Upon hearing Mu Yunge’s words, the Empress hurriedly shouted, “Quickly, summon the imperial physician! Xiao Jiu’er has a toothache!”
After saying that, she quickly stepped forward, picked up Mu Yunge, and comforted her.
Half an hour later, the imperial physician rushed over. Hearing that the Ninth Princess had a toothache, this time, it was a renowned dentist from the Imperial Hospital who came.
After examining Mu Yunge, the imperial physician said to the Empress, “Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess’s toothache is caused by eating too many sweets. You must never give her too many sweets again.”
Hearing this, the Empress nodded quickly and with concern.
Afterward, the imperial physician prescribed medicine for Mu Yunge and then took out a small tube of ointment, saying, “Her Highness, please use this to brush your teeth for the next few days and avoid sweets.”
The Empress nodded quickly and then lovingly hugged and comforted her daughter.
After taking her medicine, Mu Yunge seemed much better. She stopped crying, but pouted and said, “I’ll never eat sweets again! It’s all because the things they made these past few days were too sweet!”
After saying that, Mu Yunge pointed to the remaining animal-shaped pastries on the table and said, “It must be because these pastries are too sweet! I don’t want to eat them anymore!”
Hearing this, the Empress quickly nodded: “Good, good, Xiao Jiu’er is right! Guards! Throw all the people making desserts in the small kitchen out of my palace! And those who usually make desserts for the Ninth Princess, they must all be punished! It’s all these servants’ fault for ruining my Xiao Jiu’er!”
