Chapter 836: Chapter 836: I Don’t Want To!

After Imperial Doctor Zhang left, Xia Ruqing walked out from the inner room.

She saw Zhao Junyao still busy with his official documents.

So she asked.

”Emperor, is Noble Concubine Shih not doing well?”

Zhao Junyao didn’t even lift his head and absentmindedly replied with a ’hmm’.

Then buried himself back into the documents.

Xia Ruqing sat down beside him, watched for a while, and continued to ask.

”Emperor, aren’t you going to see her?”

Zhao Junyao paused his writing and suddenly looked up, staring at her coolly.

”Do you want me to go?”

”No!”

She blurted out without hesitation.

”I don’t want you to go at all!”

Zhao Junyao lowered his head again, coughing lightly twice.

”Then why do you keep asking?”

Xia Ruqing murmured with her head down: ”I’m afraid you might go!”

Zhao Junyao’s serious expression could not help but relax.

”I never said I was going to go in the first place!”

Xia Ruqing completely settled her worries.

”Well then, that’s good, so I can be at ease, hehe!”

Zhao Junyao tapped her forehead gently.

”Little miser, she’s in such a state, what use would it be even if I went?”

Xia Ruqing felt somewhat aggrieved.

”And what more do you want?”

”You...”

Zhao Junyao was so frustrated he gritted his teeth helplessly.

Xia Ruqing immediately jumped up from her seat, disappearing at the fastest speed.

Shortly afterwards, laughter came from the inner room.

Zhao Junyao twitched his mouth, and continued to focus on his documents.

Because of the Dragon Boat Festival.

The harem had been extremely subdued these past few days, even the selection event had been put on hold.

Noble Consort Xian was busy raising three children, too occupied to manage affairs.

Noble Concubine Shih was under investigation, her life at stake, naturally unable to manage affairs.

Thus, the burden fell entirely on Consort Hui.

Fortunately, the Second Princess was not very young, not needing constant accompaniment, allowing Consort Hui to have the energy to manage harem matters.

Other concubines dared not make any moves.

No one dared go to the Imperial Garden, becoming more restrained one by one.

As for the remaining Honored Ladies and Ladies, there’s not even a need to mention them!

Therefore, actually Consort Hui didn’t have much to worry about.

Just follow the regulations, doing what needs to be done.

Besides the harem.

It’s the Empress Dowager and Imperial Noble Consort in Ningshou Palace and Ninghe Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhen had originally stayed in a side hall of Ningshou Palace with the Empress Dowager.

Now Ningshou Palace was cleaned out.

She too was cleared out, squeezed together with a few other Imperial Noble Consorts and Imperial Concubines in Ninghe Palace.

Zhao Junyao didn’t favor the Empress Dowager, and certainly wouldn’t favor her.

However, he wouldn’t treat them unfairly.

In Ninghe Palace.

Empress Dowager Zhen was still recovering, from the punishment she received a few days ago in the Punishment Department had not healed.

Yet at this moment, she was in good spirits.

Even though the living quarters were not as big, not as spacious as before.

She was still delighted!

”Hahaha...”

”The good days of that old witch the Empress Dowager have finally come to an end!”

”I have long said, in this harem, even if you are the Empress, Empress Dowager, do not get too pleased with yourself!”

”No one knows what tomorrow holds!”

”Haha!”

A few days ago, she was still subservient in front of the Empress Dowager.

A few days later, she could stand openly before the Empress Dowager, flaunting herself.

She had endured for a lifetime.

Carefully serving under her hand for a lifetime.

Unexpectedly, in her old age, she could experience such a reversal!

Really unexpected!

Empress Dowager Zhen grew more delighted as she thought about it.

Her own happiness aside, she had to bring her two sons to share the joy.

It was heard that Fifth Prince and Sixth Prince were at odds a few days ago.

Empress Dowager Zhen, enduring her physical pain, called them together.

Even set up a banquet intending to celebrate.

Sister Tao was somewhat helpless.

”Imperial Noble Consort, your body hasn’t healed, and Sixth Prince also received fifty strokes at Shuntian Prefecture!”

”Neither of you have recovered, why must you insist!”

Empress Dowager Zhen thought it over and sighed.

”Enough!”

”If it weren’t for Lady Xia’s so-called sister, my two sons wouldn’t be at odds like this!”

”Hmph! She’s a seductress, monopolizing the Emperor, not allowing favors to spread!”

”Her sister must be a vixen too!”

”Women like this, just hope they never enter the palace again!”

As a mother, roughly aware of the reason for her sons’ disagreement.

That’s why she said such things.

Sister Tao shook her head.

”Imperial Noble Consort, what you’re saying is becoming outrageous!”

”You can’t address Noble Consort Xian like that!”

She ranks higher than you!

She is a First-Rank Noble Consort, you’re just a Second-Rank Imperial Noble Consort.

Only taking advantage of seniority.

But seniority isn’t rank, the harem regards rank, not seniority.

Being respected is a courtesy, not a duty, nor an obligation.

The Imperial Noble Consort also felt she misspoke, and huffed without mentioning it again.

But...

She couldn’t contain her good mood.

She asked again.

”How is Ningshou Palace now?”

”I just left, truly miss the Empress Dowager, wish to visit!”

”Tao Yue, go find out if it’s possible to visit!”

Sister Tao thought it over and said.

”There’s no news of the Empress Dowager being confined, so it should be possible!”

”Madame, would you like to go?”

Empress Dowager Zhen’s face immediately lit up.

”Go, definitely go!”

Tao Yue somewhat helpless, thinking:

The grievances of recent days are stuck in her heart, can’t be stopped, let her go!

Finished thinking, went to prepare.

As the weather is getting hotter, always need to prepare some cooling soups, need to change into gorgeous clothes, exquisite jewelry is certainly indispensable.

To flaunt oneself!

Empress Dowager Zhen looking at her increasingly splendid reflection, smiled.

”Tao Yue, your taste is getting better, this outfit is really beautiful!”

”Remember to apply more rouge later, too pale doesn’t look good!”

Tao Yue laughed.

”Madame, your wounds have only just healed a bit, your body is still weak, of course it’s pale!”

Empress Dowager Zhen touched her own skin, with an air of satisfaction.

”Even paler, I’m still younger and prettier than that old witch, hoping she dies of jealousy!!”

”Yes, you’re absolutely right, Madame!”

Tao Yue quickly said, only choosing pleasing words.

...

All dressed up, Empress Dowager Zhen indeed left in a sedan chair to Ningshou Palace.

Nowadays, from the gatekeepers to close attendants, all had been replaced in Ningshou Palace.

The little eunuchs didn’t even announce, they just opened the door.

Empress Dowager Zhen smiled in satisfaction.

”Not bad, not bad, truly worthy of being the Emperor’s men!”

”Efficient in handling matters, Tao Yue, reward!”

Her allotment was still substantial, after all, raising princes isn’t it?

The little eunuchs received the reward, became even more attentive.

”Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort!”

”No need to be polite, I will come often in the future, you must accommodate!”

”Yes!”

The little eunuchs answered.

Indeed they were the Emperor’s men, but the Emperor had stated, as long as they’re guarding the gate it’s enough, anyone can come!

Anyone can enter, the Empress Dowager can also exit.

Everything is free, no need to manage.

To put it another way: live and let die?!

...

Entering the inner hall.

Empress Dowager Zhen instantly saw the Empress Dowager lying on the bed.

Her hair wasn’t groomed, had turned much whiter.

Old, haggard, eyes staring emptily at the canopy, motionless.

”Empress Dowager?”

Empress Dowager Zhen called out.

The Empress Dowager seemed not to hear, showed no reaction.
