The Empress Dowager smiled coldly. The only reason she could live peacefully in the palace was because of Kangxi's respect.

"Your Majesty, who has offended you this time?" Consort Tong walked in and, seeing the Empress Dowager's stern face, couldn't help but ask.

The Empress Dowager helped her a lot, doing whatever she could.

"The Crown Princess is asking when to serve tea."

"This...didn't I tell you to wait a few days?" Consort Tong frowned as she watched the Crown Princess rubbing her handkerchief.

Seeing the Crown Princess's helpless expression, Qingyan knew that this was probably not what she wanted.

After paying her respects, Qingyan followed Consort Tong back to Chenggan Palace. She sat in a chair, deep in thought, wondering why the Crown Princess had done this.

"Mother..." Qingyan was startled by the sound of Consort Tong placing the object on the table.

"Very suspicious?"

"Um!"

"His Majesty instructed!" Consort Tong looked at Qingyan with affection. The rivalry between sisters-in-law had become a matter of the imperial court, and it was no longer something that women could resolve.

The Empress Dowager always knew how to conduct herself properly. Serving tea may seem like a small matter, but in reality, it was related to the relationship between the Manchus and the Mongols.

Gegenhas is the person closest to the Empress Dowager by blood. The court officials are all watching the Empress Dowager's actions. The Crown Princess is helping the Crown Prince to sow discord between the Empress Dowager and Emperor Kangxi. The Empress Dowager holds a high position but has no children, so she can only ask the Crown Prince for help!

Qingyan started a mini-drama in her mind, constantly considering details she hadn't thought of before. (To be continued. If you like this work, please vote for it on Qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com to read.)
