Once you enter the gates of the palace, it's as deep as the ocean. Being able to correspond with one's family is truly a great grace!
But what about the other piece of good news?
Xia Ruqing stopped her silly smile, sat up straight, and asked.
"The affairs of the Harem have always been managed by the Empress. If I lack anything, I should naturally ask the Empress for it!"
"But the Emperor said I should go directly to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for it. Do you understand?"
Zi Yue, smart and quick-witted, got the point right away! After listening for a moment, she couldn't contain her joy. "Exactly! The Emperor wants to protect the Master in secret!"
The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Steward Hai, is the Emperor's man.
The true master of the Harem is, after all, the Emperor!
'If you lack something, ask me' and 'If you lack something, ask my wife'—those are simply not the same concept!
So, isn't this also considered a piece of good news?
