"Aunt Feicui, if you are only here to convey the Queen's wishes, then the Prime Minister's Mansion will certainly welcome you. But if you come here to cause trouble, it may not be so easy for you to leave here."

Shen Moyu stopped teasing Feicui and went straight to the point. Since she was here to convey the Queen Su Mojie's order, she should just speak frankly. There was no need to make it known to everyone in the mansion and even invite Old Madam Shen out.

Her temper is really unbearable...

"Miss Shen, you are joking. I am here to deliver your message. The Queen is still waiting for you in the palace. Let's go."

Feicui knew when to quit. She had been staying in the palace for many years and was used to changing her attitude according to the situation. She could see at a glance that Old Lady Shen was just a bully who wanted to use the Empress's power to show her granddaughter some power.

Little did he know that Shen Moyu wouldn't buy it at all. Isn't this just shooting himself in the foot?

"Aunt Feicui, did the Queen ask whether she needs to be accompanied by a female relative when entering the palace? My granddaughter has always been rude. If I let her go alone, it might disturb the Queen's recovery. It would be better if I could go with her..."

Before Old Madam Shen could finish her words, Feicui interrupted her coldly, "Old Madam, you are worrying too much. Since the Queen has chosen Miss Shen, she must believe that she can serve the Queen wholeheartedly. It's getting late, and the Queen is still waiting in the palace."

Old Mrs. Shen was stunned by the complete transformation of the jadeite. She was unable to react for a moment and could only smile awkwardly.

"This...is like this."

After saying this, Feicui stopped looking at her and said to Shen Moyou, "The palace is different from the outside world. Miss Shen has many maids around her, but the queen doesn't like too many people, so as not to disturb the peace, so you can pick two to follow into the palace."

"Then let Bai Zhi and Ji Chun follow."

Shen Moyu chose these two people without hesitation because they were suitable. Bai Zhi could inform Xiao Linchuan of her movements in the palace at any time, and Ji Chun was good at using poison, so if anyone in the palace behaved improperly, she would be able to discover it in time.

"Yes, ma'am."

They completely obeyed Shen Moyu's arrangements. Shen Moyu followed Feicui and walked towards the door. Along the way, Feicui told Shen Moyu about the rules of the palace.

But everyone knows how many of these rules are right and how many are wrong.

In his previous life, Shen Moyu lived in the palace for a full ten years, and he had memorized all the rules by heart. He didn't need to remember them deliberately. They were engraved in his bones and blood, and he could never forget them.

Perhaps the Queen was really impatient waiting in the palace, the carriage was moving very fast. Shen Moyu clasped her hands together, pretending to be scared, but she was sneering in her heart. The first-class maid beside the Queen was just like this, and even the intimidation she gave others was so low-level.

"Miss Shen, we are here."

Feicui did not let the carriage enter the palace, but stopped it in front of the palace gate. She looked at Shen Moyu with an embarrassed face, "I'm really sorry, the palace has its own rules. Carriages are not allowed to pass through the palace, so I have to inconvenience Miss Shen and walk with me for a while."

Shen Moyou smiled wryly, "It's okay. Since you've agreed to enter the palace, you must follow the palace's rules in everything."

"Miss Shen really has the demeanor of a general."

It sounded like Feicui was praising Shen Moyu, but she was actually praising the Mo family. It was clearly saying that she was ignorant of etiquette and, like the Mo family, was a thorn in His Majesty's side.

"Aunt Jade, you're overpraising me."

Shen Moyu still responded indifferently. After all, she still had plenty of time to play with them in the future, so there was no need to rush.

"Miss, do you need me to go and invite the Fourth Princess?"

Bai Zhi was extremely dissatisfied with Feicui's behavior, and approached Shen Moyou and asked, "This servant really doesn't take you seriously."

"Just be patient, it's just a matter of walking a few more steps, it won't cost you any meat."

Shen Moyu gave Bai Zhi a soothing smile. In fact, it was not wrong for Feicui's carriage not to pass through the palace. It was indeed not allowed under normal circumstances.

But this general situation does not include her current situation. She was summoned into the palace by the Queen and should have ridden in a carriage. Feicui did this perhaps because of the Queen's intention, or perhaps because she was not treated with courtesy in the Prime Minister's Residence, so she wanted revenge.

"This palace is really huge. It felt like we had walked for a long time from the palace gate to here. I didn't expect that we hadn't even reached the main hall where we usually hold court in the morning."

Ji Chun looked left and right, his eyes full of novelty and curiosity.

When Feicui heard this, her disdain grew even stronger, and her words were full of arrogance. "This is the imperial palace, where the most noble people in the world live. It is naturally different from the outside of the palace. It is thanks to Miss Shen that you can enter the palace and see the world."

"That's what Auntie said."

Ji Chun responded stiffly. Since her young lady said that now was not the time to deal with her, she would not cause trouble for her.

It took Shen Moyou a full hour to walk from the palace gate to Jingning Palace where the queen was. It was still a little chilly in April, but Shen Moyou was sweating in this weather.

"Miss Shen, please wait at the door first. I will go in and pass the message."

When Feicui arrived at Jingning Palace, she was a completely different person, with a rather bully-like air, which made Ji Chun and Bai Zhi grit their teeth, but Shen Moyu suppressed their anger silently.

"Miss, are we just going to endure this?"

Bai Zhi was originally a very tolerant person, but she couldn't bear to see Shen Moyu being tortured like this, especially since this person was a slave in the palace, which made her even angrier.

"Bai Zhi, don't be so impatient. Don't worry, I won't be wronged."

Shen Moyou felt both amused and annoyed, but her heart was also warm because she knew that Bai Zhi acted like this purely for her own good.

"Miss, if the master knew about this, I'm afraid that Feicui would be beheaded."

The more Bai Zhi thought about it, the angrier she became. She stared at Feicui's back, wishing she could eat her alive.

"I told you, be patient, this is just the beginning. We have just entered the palace, so don't make a big deal out of it. After all, Feicui is the first-class maid beside the queen."

Shen Moyu suddenly felt a headache. She had been indulging these maids these days, which led to them developing the habit of taking action when they were not obeyed. Now thinking about it, she felt a little regretful.

"Got it young lady, we must not act rashly."

Baizhi and Jichun gritted their teeth and endured it, but they thought silently in their hearts that Feicui had better not be too arrogant, otherwise she still had the ability to make someone disappear silently.

Shen Moyou waited at the gate of Jingning Palace for nearly an incense stick of time before Feicui, who was leisurely, came. When she saw Shen Moyou, she pretended to apologize, "I'm sorry, Miss Shen. The Queen was taking medicine just now, and I had to wait on her for a while, so I was delayed for some time."
