Chunhua and the others were relieved when they heard the crying of the Grand Concubine in the room. The doctor in the palace also said that the Grand Concubine had been depressed for a while, so her illness was slow to heal.

Nanny Wang waited for the Grand Concubine to cry for more than ten minutes, then she coaxed her to stop crying.

"Miss, I've been outside this city overnight and haven't had dinner yet. How about you eat some more with me? It won't be very tasty if I eat alone."

The eldest princess wiped the tears from her face embarrassedly.

"Mammy, you must have rushed back overnight because you were worried about me. You've worked hard."

"Mammy, it's not hard. Mammy's illness has long been cured, and she wanted to consolidate it for a few more days, so she didn't come back."

"Even if Chunhua didn't invite me today, I would have planned to go back home tomorrow. I've been away from home for many days, and I miss you, the eldest prince, and the young master."

Nanny Wang wet a towel with water and wiped the eldest imperial concubine's face herself.

The Grand Concubine then lowered her head and took a closer look at the clothes Wang Ma was wearing. At first glance, the clothes Wang Ma was wearing were for indoor wear, not for outdoor wear at all.

Nanny Wang must have seen Chunhua, so she asked the servant to harness the carriage and rush back.

"Mammy, I'll wipe it myself. Please sit down and rest for a while. You must be tired after traveling for such a long time."

The eldest princess snatched the towel from Nanny Wang's hand and started to wipe it herself.

"Okay, I'll listen to you, young lady." Nanny Wang sat down on the chair next to her.

"Xia He, go to the kitchen and prepare some food. I'll eat with Mammy."

"Okay, Grand Princess, I'll go now."

Outside the door, Chunhua and several other maids covered their mouths and laughed secretly. The nanny was really good. The Grand Concubine even took the initiative to prepare the meal.

"Then I'll go to the kitchen and urge them again. You all wait here, in case Madam calls for help but no one answers."

"Go ahead. We'll be waiting here."

Xia He ran to the small kitchen and urged the cook to prepare meal.

"Miss, such a big thing happened in the mansion, you should have sent someone to pick me up earlier."

"Mammy, you worry about me every day. I just want you to be sick and take a good rest."

The eldest princess hugged Nanny Wang's arm and spoke in a tender voice.

Nanny Wang looked down at the Grand Concubine, who now looked like a girl. When she first entered the room, she saw that the Grand Concubine looked pale, and it was obvious that she had been ill for a long time, and she had no energy at all.

"Mammy, I know you mean well. But you have to think about yourself. Mammy is not here, and the eldest prince is not here either. Can you ruin your body like this?"

"You don't eat or drink, which will only ruin your body and make the people around us heartbroken."

"Miss, have you ever thought about this? If you don't take good care of yourself now, what will you do if the young master needs our help? So, you must be well."

"If you are strong, the young master will be stronger. Mammy believes that the people sent by the eldest prince will soon find the young master back."

Nanny Wang stroked the eldest princess' hair and gently advised her.

"Okay, Madam, I'll listen to you." The eldest princess hugged Madam Wang tightly.

"Come, sit down. I'll comb your hair for you."

"Well, Mammy still loves me."

"What nonsense are you talking about? If Nanny doesn't treat you well, who else can she treat well?" Nanny Wang said angrily.

The eldest princess winked playfully.

Only then did Nanny Wang regain her composure, and the Grand Concubine finally listened to the advice.

"Mammy, the meal is ready. You and the Crown Princess should go and eat quickly, or it will get cold." Chunhua's voice came through the door.

"Got it. It'll be done soon." Nanny Wang quickened the pace of her hands.

"Mammy, Xia He and the other maids teamed up to deceive me. They told me that Chun Hua had gone out to buy paper. It was getting dark, and I was planning to send someone out to look for Chun Hua."

"In the end, they all refused to let me send anyone. I didn't understand at first, but now I finally understand. They are guilty."

"Mammy? Do you think they should be punished?"

"Okay, I know you care about them. Don't worry, since they are all doing this for you, Mammy won't punish them this time."

"Really, Mammy, you are very kind."

"Hmph, don't be too happy too soon. I told you straight out that I won't spank them this time. But I'm sure I'll still teach them a lesson."

"Madam, how do you plan to teach them a lesson?" The eldest princess looked at Madam Wang cautiously through the mirror.

"Fine them all, one month's salary each. Also, they are not allowed to leave the house for one month."

The Grand Concubine secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Nanny Wang said. Fortunately, this was not a serious punishment. Besides, a month would pass quickly.

Nanny Wang looked at the Empress Dowager’s relieved expression in the mirror and shook her head.

Nanny Wang fixed the eldest princess's hair and took her to the dining room for dinner.

After all, it was midnight, so the kitchen prepared two bowls of eight-treasure porridge, a basket of steamed buns, four pieces of jujube cake, and four pieces of pea yellow. The quantity was not large, just right for two people.

"Grand Concubine, have a bowl of porridge first."

"Mammy, please sit down and eat with us."

"Okay, Nanny will eat with you." Nanny Wang sat down and accompanied the Grand Princess for a dinner which was not held until midnight.

The eldest princess was in a good mood at the moment and had a good appetite. She drank a bowl of eight-treasure porridge, ate two steamed buns and a piece of date cake.

Nanny Wang drank a bowl of eight-treasure porridge and ate a steamed bun. When she saw the Grand Concubine put down her chopsticks, she also put down her chopsticks. In fact, she was already full, and she ate so much just for the Grand Concubine to eat more.

"Mammy, the medicine for the eldest princess has been heated up." Chunhua handed over a bowl of medicine.

"Miss, I touched the bowl and the medicine is no longer hot. It's just right to drink it now."

"Mammy, can I take the medicine tomorrow?" The eldest princess looked at Mammy Wang pitifully.

"No, miss. You will get better faster if you take the medicine."

The Grand Concubine looked at Nanny Wang with a stern face, which looked like she could not negotiate. She took the medicine bowl and swallowed it down in one gulp, ready to die.

"Mammy, this medicine is too bitter."

"I'll give you a candied fruit to reduce the smell of the medicine." Nanny Wang said as she stuffed a candied fruit into the eldest princess' mouth.

"Mammy, I thought you would let me eat two candied fruits." The eldest princess said with a pout.

"My lady, it's already the middle of the night. If you eat too much candied fruit, your teeth will hurt. In my opinion, the young master likes sweet things because he learned it from you." Nanny Wang started to scold.

The eldest princess quietly stepped back a few steps, and while Nanny Wang wasn't noticing her, she hurried to wash up.

Nanny Wang looked at the figure of the eldest imperial concubine sneaking away, pretended not to see it, and continued to scold her.
