Upon seeing this, Tong Cheng'er quickly took her leave.

Since Consort Wuya was still under confinement, Tong Cheng'er took her leave because she was going to Cining Palace to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

Consort Wuya was furious, but she couldn't stop it. In the end, the Empress Dowager was still the most powerful person in the harem, even if she was only in name. In ancient times, when filial piety was the norm, that was enough.

At least Consort Wuya dared not say anything.

After leaving Yonghe Palace, Tong Cheng'er couldn't help but sigh, thinking to herself, "Finally out." Although she could make Consort Wuya suffer, she didn't have a sadistic streak, and she didn't really want to argue with anyone.

After sighing, he breathed a sigh of relief and then headed straight for the Cining Palace.

On the way, they ran into the Fifth Prince's wife, who greeted them with a smile: "Greetings, Fourth Sister-in-law."

"Fifth sister-in-law, you're too kind."

"Is Fourth Sister-in-law also going to Cining Palace?"

Tong Cheng'er nodded: "Isn't that right? It seems that Fifth Sister-in-law is also going to pay her respects to the Imperial Grandmother?"

Fifth Princess nodded: "Yes, before I came, my master told me to talk to the Empress Dowager more. I just didn't expect Fourth Sister-in-law to go so early."

Tong Cheng'er understood that the Fifth Prince was raised by the Empress Dowager and had a deep bond with her, so it was normal for the Fifth Prince's wife to move closer to the Empress Dowager.

The two walked together and then arrived at the Cining Palace.

There were already some maids guarding the gate of Cining Palace. Seeing that they had come so early, they hurriedly came forward to greet them: "Greetings, Fourth Princess Consort, greetings, Fifth Princess Consort."

Tong Cheng'er: "You're too kind, Granny. There's no need for such formalities."

"Thank you, Your Highnesses. The Empress Dowager is already waiting in the main hall. She will surely be pleased to see you."
