Xia Ruqing bowed slightly.
"I bid Noble Consort farewell!"
That neither servile nor overbearing yet respectful attitude suddenly ignited a fire in Noble Concubine Shih's heart.
Damn Lady Xia, sly as a fox.
Always elusive!
But...HMPH!
My today will be your tomorrow. See if you can remain favored for your entire life! Otherwise, on the day you fall out of favor, watch how I deal with you!
Noble Concubine Shih gritted her teeth, her steps quickening.
「Jiaofang Hall」
After everybody had left, the Princess had been carried down, and Palace Attendants naturally started to clean up the hall.
Inside the chamber, the Empress was reclining on the couch, massaging her temples.
Today's banquet was good, but also not good.
Everything prepared was of high quality, but it felt...dry, as if something was missing.
But she was too exhausted to think about it anymore.
As she was resting, Yu Fu came in from outside.
"Empress, Sister Qing from the Empress Dowager's side has arrived!"
