Nanny Xiao intentionally disclosed palace news to the Ji Family. Firstly, it was to curry favor with the Ji Mansion.
Secondly, she had noticed the Empress Dowager and His Majesty's affection for Princess Chang.
Princess Chang, this child, had a flawed appearance. And though she was indeed of royal blood, she had nevertheless uniquely captured the affection of both His Majesty and the Empress Dowager.
As an old hand in the palace, she was adept at observing expressions and discerning moods, and naturally, she also knew how to play the political game.
"Madam Ji, we are both discerning people, so let's dispense with the mutual probing!"
After saying this, Nanny Xiao clinked her wine cup with Madam Ji's and continued.
"Today, the Divine Bird is unusually restless. It's refusing to descend from its flight and calling out incessantly. This has greatly distressed the Empress Dowager. No matter how we tried to soothe it, it refused to come down."
"How could that be?"
