Consort Qi curled her lips upon hearing this, thinking that there would probably be a good show to watch tomorrow.

Thinking about it made her feel better, and she found Xiaoxiao much more pleasing to the eye.

She shook her head smugly, her tone filled with delight: "How long have I been confined to my quarters?"

She looked at Xiaoxiao from the side and asked.

Xiao Xiao thought for a moment and then replied, "Your Majesty, it has been thirteen days."

Consort Qi frowned, then relaxed her brows: "Very well, I was originally thinking of going to watch the excitement, but this is fine too, it directly clears my name of suspicion."

Xiao Xiao pursed her lips and didn't say anything, remaining in a state of introspection.

...

The next morning, Sang Jiang woke up to find Wisteria waiting for her at her door. Sang Jiang's yawn got stuck, and she had to finish the yawn before walking towards Wisteria.

"Is there something you need, Aunt Wisteria?"

Seeing her blank look, Zi Teng knew that she must have forgotten what she promised the Empress Dowager. She politely curtsied to Sang Jiang: "Fourth Miss, the words have already been spoken."

"Ah~" Sang Jiang suddenly realized, so that's what it was about. She was still a little groggy from just waking up and had completely forgotten about it. Thinking about it, she nodded and said, "Aunt Zifeng, please go back and report to the Empress Dowager first. I'll be there right away."

Zi Teng smiled and said, "Then this servant will take her leave now."

"Hmm." Sang Jiang waved her hand haphazardly.

Since the day she had the accident, Kou'er had been inseparable from her. Seeing Sang Jiang yawning one after another, she couldn't help but ask, "Miss, did you go out to have an affair last night?"

Spending a lot of time with Sang Jiang has made her bolder, and sometimes she'll even joke around with her.

Sang Jiang blinked and turned to look at her: "This little girl knows quite a lot."

"It's all thanks to Miss's excellent teaching." She replied very quickly this time, almost as soon as Sang Jiang finished speaking, as if she had been preparing for a long time.

Sang Jiang frowned, pretending to hit her: "You brat! You dare to joke with me, huh!"

Kou'er laughed and dodged away.

Just then, another palace maid brought over her breakfast.

"Fourth Miss." A palace maid carried a tray containing only one plate.

Sang Jiang nodded, and the little palace maid immediately placed the food on the dining table.

Breakfast was simple, consisting of two dishes, a soup, and a plate of flatbread.

As soon as the lid was opened, the aroma of the flatbread wafted into the room. Sang Jiang rubbed her stomach, washed her hands, and began to eat.

Sang Ruo had to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager in the morning, so she got up early and had already finished her breakfast.

After Sang Jiang had eaten and drunk her fill, she immediately asked Kou'er to take her tools to Sang Ruo to do the Empress Dowager's nails.

The ingredients she used were honey, milk, and pearl powder, which she prepared after visiting the Empress Dowager to prevent them from drying out. She also made her own small brush.

The Empress Dowager found it quite fascinating to see her brushing her hands with a small brush.

After brushing on one layer, blow-dry it directly, then place the dried and trimmed jasmine flowers in a suitable position, and finally seal it with another layer and blow-dry it.

After finishing one, the Empress Dowager examined it by turning it from side to side. Underneath the transparent glue was a trimmed jasmine flower, just like amber stuck to her finger, which was very beautiful.

A young palace maid walked in from outside, curtsied to the Empress Dowager, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Consort Hui has arrived."

The Empress Dowager was in a good mood, so she didn't hesitate and said, "Let her in."

Before the Empress Dowager could finish making her second finger, the palace maid came in again: "Your Majesty, Consort Han has arrived."

The Empress Dowager spoke with her usual loving tone: "Let her in."

For some reason, all the concubines were running towards her today. The Empress Dowager frowned, about to speak...
