Relying on Food Chapter 4 Part 3: Kunning Palace
In Kunning Palace, Xuan Pin was still talking to Empress Niohuru.
She was a member of the Borjigit clan. Even though she had
the same surname as the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, everyone
with discerning eyes knew that the Emperor would not allow the Borjigit clan to
produce another Empress, not even a Guifei.
Empress Niohuru might be wary of Tong Guifei, but she never
regarded Xuan Pin as an enemy. Therefore, the two of them had a harmonious
relationship. Xuan Pin was among the few people in the harem to whom she could speak
freely.
Empress Niohuru was also somewhat curious about Wan Daying.
She frowned slightly: "Has Wan Daying really recovered
from her illness?"
Xuan Pin smiled and said, "She has really recovered
from her illness."
Empress Niohuru breathed a sigh of relief, unable to hide
the joy in her eyes: "She is lucky to have survived this. Wan Daying has suffered
a lot this time. I hope she can learn from you and Nala Guiren in Xianfu Palace
in the future and become sensible and steady."
Let Wan Daying become sensible and steady?
The corners of Xuan Pin's mouth twitched. She seemed to want
to say something but hesitated.
Empress Niohuru immediately noticed Xuan Pin’s strange look.
She smiled slightly and said, "Could it be that she did something out of
the ordinary right after she woke up?"
Xuan Pin shook her head.
She recounted what happened in the morning, then smiled and
said, "If I were to say, she is quite cute, innocent and funny. She looks
like... the five-year-old sister I had when I left the grassland."
Comparing the teenage Wan Daying with her sister who was
only four or five years old?
If Xuan Pin had not looked so sincere, Empress Niohuru would
have thought she was mocking Wan Daying.
Empress Niohuru became curious.
She replied to Xuan Pin, "It just so happens that I
haven't seen the Ninth Prince for a few days. Zhou mama, go to Xianfu Palace to
invite the Ninth Prince, Nala Guiren, and Wan Daying to come to Kunning
Palace."
