Chapter 1353 - 1360: Fight Fire with Fire (4)
Having finished speaking, she beckoned to Ning Huaixiu: "Huaixiu, quickly kowtow to the Empress Dowager and the Empress, then return to your mother’s side."
Upon hearing this, Miss Ning understood that her mother had switched sides and given up on her entering the palace, her heart suddenly chilled, and she stood stiffly for a moment before suddenly kneeling down and kowtowing to Caiwei, saying: "Empress Dowager, your unworthy servant is not qualified to hold a concubine position to serve the Emperor. Your servant wishes to enter the palace as a palace maid to wait upon the Emperor!"
Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, unable to believe that the daughter of the Prime Minister was willing to degrade herself to such an extent that she could accept even the identity of a palace maid!
Madam Ning exclaimed in shock: "Huaixiu, this is a serious matter, how can you act so recklessly? Come back quickly, lest your father be angry with you!"
Miss Ning shook her head, tears flowing, and said: "Mother, your daughter is unfilial. Entering the palace to serve the Emperor is my biggest lifelong desire, I beg my mother to fulfill this wish!"
Madam Ning also started crying, saying: "You foolish child, you are also a daughter of the Chancellor’s mansion, why can’t you marry any family you wish? Why insist on degrading yourself to enter the palace as a palace maid? What good can your mother say about you?"
Empress Dowager Mo, who was just stunned by Caiwei, had just regained her composure and, seeing Madam Ning having second thoughts, hurriedly said: "It’s rare to see Miss Ning’s devoted heart. Since you have already decided to enter the palace, this palace will fulfill your wish."
Having said that, she turned to Caiwei and asked: "Empress, I have already decided to let Miss Ning enter the palace, what do you say?"
Caiwei laughed and said: "Since the Imperial Mother has decided, this concubine shall obey. But Miss Ning, as the esteemed daughter of the Prime Minister, do you really think it’s worth it to become a nameless palace maid?"
