The Empress instantly fell silent.

Her eldest son was a devoted man.

Just like the previous emperor, in order to wait for her, he left the position of being an Empress empty for many years. It was only when she no longer dressed as a man in the military camp that he conferred her the title of Empress and married her into the palace.

She hoped that her second son wasn’t an easily infatuated person. Being too infatuated wasn’t good either.

Empress Shao also didn’t know that the Empress wasn’t in the palace. She had always thought that the Empress was in the bedroom, but she didn’t see her anymore. If it wasn’t for the eunuch from the imperial study who came to report her presence, she would have thought otherwise.

Since she was asked to pay her respects to the Empress, why would she refute? Thus, she came to the room.

“Your highness.” Empress Shao bowed and paid her respects to The Empress.

The Empress’s eyelids lifted slightly. “I don’t look like an Empress right now. That’s enough.” The Empress’s eyelids closed completely again. “Come over here and sit down.”

“Thank you.” Although Empress Shao had sat down, her body has been feeling a lot of fatigue recently. She couldn’t muster up any energy to stay up and only wanted to lie down.

However, she still tried her best to keep her spirits up and sit with the Empress.

She did not look in the direction of the imperial table.

On the other hand, Emperor Hao was already very satisfied when he saw that his potential lover could come. With his mother here today, he could easily use this chance to see her.

He had not seen his Empress for more than a month.

The last time he saw her was on the day Shao Shuting had sent a letter. She fainted, and he spent the night in the Feng Palace. Later, when she woke up and wanted to go to the side hall to sleep, he didn’t let her. Something else happened, and because of this, he even missed the morning court session the next day. After that, she became more pissed and took extra effort to ignore them.

In the past, when he went to the Feng Palace, he could still enter, but now, she refused to see him. He tried his best to ask for forgiveness. However, when he went to the Feng Palace, he wasn’t even allowed past the gates.

His Empress looked exceptionally listless, as if she had not eaten or slept well.

On this side, Empress Shao was accompanying the Empress in the imperial study. On the other side, someone had already heard the news and had hurriedly come to report it to Consort Yi.

Consort Yi was very surprised, “The Empress is back? Wasn’t she in the palace?”

Consort Yi’s trusted eunuch replied, “It’s true. She came back from outside the palace and hasn’t been in the palace at all. No one knows when she left the palace. The Empress has already gone to pay her respects. I heard that she’s in the imperial study. The Emperor is also there. Your Majesty, do you want to go over quickly?”

They definitely had to pay their respects, but…

“Doesn’t the Empress throw a tantrum in the Feng Palace everyday? How can she still go and pay her respects?” Consort Yi was even more surprised by her presence.

The eunuch hesitated, not knowing if he should say it or not.

He was the trusted eunuch. When Consort Yi saw the eunuch’s expression, she knew that there must be something she did not know. She immediately said,

“Speak!”

She must know what happened!

“I heard that the Emperor sent someone to tell the Empress to go and pay respects to his mother.”

Just as the eunuch’s voice fell, Consort Yi had already smashed the tea bowl in her hand.

“Good! That’s great!” Consort Yi gritted her teeth and smiled hideously. “Let’s go pay our respects.” Then, she immediately put on a proper expression that was suitable for the situation.

When she arrived at the Imperial study, she found that someone was guarding the door and did not allow her to enter.

“I am here to pay respects to the Empress. Please let me go in and report my duty.” Consort Yi said with a smile. She had a generous and virtuous appearance.

The chief eunuch held his horsetail whisk and bowed with a smile. “It seems that you are mistaken. The Empress had already issued an imperial decree a few years ago. The consorts in the palace do not need to pay their respects to her..”
