Chapter 522 - Her Xiaojie Has Grown Taller and More Handsome (2/2)
There was a guard at the entrance of Crown Palace every three to five steps. The guards with loaded guns patrolled the square and the entrance of the palace in an orderly way.
Nan Zhi could not get too close but she observed that the servants coming out of the palace wore the same clothes and hair clips.
Nan Zhi had looked at the auntie from this morning carefully.
Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, she had the same hair clip on her head as the servants in the palace. And it was obvious she wore a ring on her finger as there was a circle of faint white mark around it after taking the ring off.
She did not know the purpose of the auntie’s deliberate fall and letting people carry her down the hill, but she should not be a bad person.
Yan Hua looked at Nan Zhi and asked softly, “Are you sure that auntie will contact you?”
“I think she would, or she wouldn’t have let me carry her down the hill.”
Sure enough, on the third say after Nan Zhi had carried the auntie down the hill, she called Nan Zhi.
“Young lady, do you still remember me? There’s something I need your help with. The other time I ate the pastry you gave me and thought it tasted good. The pastry chef on my side is on leave and tonight I need to prepare for a banquet. Could you help me? Oh, I can pay you.”
Nan Zhi heard this and her heart leapt with joy. “Of course! Auntie, where is your house?”
“Tell me your address and I’ll send people over to pick you up!”
After ending the call, Nan Zhi went back to her room to change her clothes. She had no makeup on her face and tied her hair up into a ponytail, looking neat and fresh.
Sitting in the car the auntie had sent over, Nan Zhi thought that the auntie should be a helper in the palace.
There were strict inspections done when entering Crown Palace. The driver took Nan Zhi to one of the magnificent palaces.
The hall was full of European style design, a high open hall, gold plated roof, huge chandeliers. It was elegant, luxurious and beautiful.
Nan Zhi was amazed when she saw the palace of the royal family for the first time.
“Don’t look around and follow me into the kitchen!” The driver reminded her.
Nan Zhi followed the driver into a rather large kitchen, the auntie was giving instructions inside, her expression strict and cold, which was quite different from how she looked when she had fallen to the ground on the hill.
Seeing Nan Zhi coming, a smile appeared on the auntie’s face. “Young lady, come here,”
“Recently, the Fourth Princess Consort has a bad appet.i.te. The Queen cares about the Fourth Princess Consort and sent me here to make some delicious food for her. But I’m not good at making dessert. Your pastry from the other time tasted special so I think the Fourth Princess Consort would like it. Young lady, please make a few more varieties? How’s ten thousand dollars for the payment.”
Nan Zhi’s heart skipped a beat. “Am I making it for the Fourth Princess Consort?”
“Yes.”
Nan Zhi nodded thoughtfully. “Then this palace is the residence of the Fourth Princess Consort and the Fourth Prince?”
“Yes, the Fourth Prince has a bad temper. Young lady when you’re done, don’t run around. I have something important to tell you later.”
Nan Zhi made three kinds of exquisite desserts and the auntie was very satisfied.
While the auntie was busy with other things, Nan Zhi quietly went out of the kitchen. She had just walked to the dining room when she heard Yi Fan’s voice. “Young Master Xiaojie, you are back.”
Nan Zhi poked her head out of the dining room. A short while later, a little boy in a blue suit with a white s.h.i.+rt inside and a bow tie entered her sight. His hair was parted to the side and he had grown taller.
He had a school bag on his shoulders with the words ‘Royal Academy’ printed on it. When he was walking, his back was straight and the two legs wearing the pants were long and straight. When he grew up, he would be as tall as his father.
Nan Zhi looked at the little fellow who was growing more handsome and whom she had not seen for a long time. She felt like crying and her eyes turned red.
Before she could take more glances, the little fellow with the schoolbag on his back went upstairs.
When Nan Zhi saw this, she bit her lip and took a small plate of snacks from the kitchen and went upstairs.
But before she reached the stairway, a voice behind told her to stop.
