Zheng Nianru, along with Nanny Yun, Fu Dong, and four other young maids, left. The nanny leading the way walked very quickly, passing through the gates of the Qishun Building and headed straight for the dried-up well located to the northwest of the Qishun Building.
The crowd was growing larger, and the palace maids sneakily glanced at Zheng Nianru and her group as they passed.
Who is this person? Also from Xingqing Hall? What is her status?
Yet upon the next glance, they were stunned by the young girl's appearance, which was even more exquisite than any palace maid's attire. They couldn't understand how they had not known of such a beautiful woman within Xingqing Hall. Even in plain clothing, she seemed like a pearl in the dust, eliciting an involuntary sense of pity from onlookers.
Noble Consort Wen carefully supported Empress Dowager Yan Ping as she descended from the sedan chair and stood in front of the dried well.
