Chapter 152: Ancient Side Story: Devouring the Little Wet Nurse (1)
It was long rumored that Prince Duan's Mansion was also called the Royal Little Lang Garden. After entering, they had already walked for the greater part of an hour, yet the scenery remained tightly composed and lush.
Verdant wisteria flourished beside the broad, richly winding veranda. Sunlight filtered through the trellis, scattering specks of light upon the path, which then fell on her clean coarse-cloth embroidered shoes as she walked.
Ji Ning kept her head lowered, not daring to look around heedlessly in this place of wealth. She constantly minded her step, careful not to outpace the senior matron of the mansion.
"Madam Ji, Madam Sun. You two are the finest chosen by this old servant from among dozens of wet nurses. From now on, you must strictly observe your duties, be meticulous and cautious, and serve the Young Master well."
The senior matron lectured them unhurriedly. Though her tone was casual, it carried an undeniable authority that prevented anyone from taking it lightly.
"Yes." Ji Ning and Sun Niangzi answered in unison, their minds growing even more restrained, not daring to utter another word.
However, Ji Ning secretly wondered to herself: Prince Duan's Mansion currently had no official princess consort, nor had she heard of any concubine. Where did this swaddled infant come from?
But no matter where the Young Master came from, her duty was simply to serve him well and provide her milk, in hopes of earning that generous sum to take home.
After walking for roughly another quarter-hour, a thin sheen of sweat forming on her body, Ji Ning finally arrived at the Young Master's courtyard.
Looking from afar, mansion guards stood outside the courtyard. Entering it, she saw many manservants and maids waiting. Everyone either worked silently or stood waiting with heads bowed. So many people, yet not an extra breath was heard. The silence carried an air of solemnity.
The senior matron raised a hand to signal everyone to stop, then turned and said quietly, "His Highness Prince Duan is in the inner room. This old servant will go announce ourselves first. You shall wait outside for now."
This time, Ji Ning did not even dare to breathe heavily. She merely nodded deeply and said nothing.
The Sun Niangzi beside her, however, answered "Yes" aloud. Her voice trembled slightly, sounding somewhat agitated.
After the senior matron went in to announce them, she came out not long after and beckoned the two women to follow her inside to meet Prince Duan.
"Remember to perform the proper courtesies before His Highness. Do not look around carelessly. Do not raise your head before your master permits it," the senior matron reminded them once more.
Having been repeatedly admonished so, Ji Ning grew increasingly nervous. Fixated solely on the matron's words, she followed her into the room and knelt.
"Your Highness, these are the wet nurses this old slave has selected for the Young Master. This one is surnamed Ji, and this one is surnamed Sun. Both are women of clean family background and pure constitution, first-time milk mothers."
Ji Ning kept her head low. Hearing the senior matron's words, she lowered it even further.
Then, a man's voice, cool as jade, rang out: "Mm. Lift your heads. Let this prince have a look."
Ji Ning slowly raised her head, just in time to fall into the line of sight of Prince Duan.
She had long heard that Prince Duan, Jiang Ting, was the foremost man of the imperial family, bearing an otherworldly grace and radiant as the moon. Seeing the real person today, he indeed surpassed the rumors.
Ji Ning had originally thought her own husband was the most handsome man under heaven. Now, seeing Prince Duan, she felt the two were on par and could not even be compared.
Jiang Ting stared fixedly at the woman below. A familiar face, yet in unfamiliar attire. Though her clothes were elegantly plain, and only a common jade hairpin and a red peony silk flower adorned her chignon, she was still breathtakingly beautiful, a refreshing sight he was reluctant to look away from.
An hour ago, Jiang Ting had opened his eyes to find himself in this strange place, this strange dynasty. He had thought he was having a bizarre dream, until the system panel lit up and explained everything. Only then did he confirm it was real.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ting opened the panel again and re-read the annotation.
