When the Emperor arrived, he had already inquired about the situation. He directly embarrassed the Empress: "Empress, both I and the Empress Dowager are still here. You have just taken over the responsibilities of the harem, yet you dare to bully the Imperial Sister so. Do you have any respect for us? Does your Wang family's etiquette teach you to disrespect the Empress Dowager?"
The Empress was terrified. Marrying into the Royal Family was supposed to be a glorious affair, but before her marriage, she had heard many unpleasant rumors.
The Empress straightened her back and kneeled down on the ground: "Your Majesty, please forgive my candor, Princess An Ping is already of such age yet does not care about her reputation, mingling with the common people. There are even rumors of an affair between the Princess and Your Majesty. As Empress, it is my duty to correct the Princess's behavior to prevent disgracing the Imperial Family. How am I at fault?"
