"Oh? Are you doing something for the Empress?"
“I went to Yanxi Palace and I noticed that she didn’t look too good.”
The Yanxi Palace was occupied by Consort Dun and Consort Borjigit.
Raising an eyebrow, Chen Yuwei sat down at the octagonal table in the main hall.
The dishes were already laid out on the table, and Xiahe served her master a bowl of soup.
"We're going to Changchun Palace tomorrow. Hopefully, Consort Dun won't cause any trouble," otherwise, what if the Empress gets upset and makes things difficult for her?
Xia He picked up the serving chopsticks and put the food into her master's bowl and plate, thinking to herself that it might not be so. Dong Han's expression looked very bad. What if he said something unpleasant to the Empress?
Some servants are not particularly good at learning to speak, but they are exceptionally good at spreading rumors and gossip.
Xia He and Dong Han have known each other for many years and understand each other quite well in some ways.
He was arrogant, just as he believed that the empress was the head of the palace and that he was superior to the other servants.
Consort Dun of Yanxi Palace gave Dong Han a hard time, and Dong Han will definitely tell the Empress.
As for whether it contains some of one's own subjective emotions, it is highly likely to.
Xia He's guess was proven at Changchun Palace.
He returned from Yanxi Palace in the cold winter, and the first thing he said was to complain.
Even more outrageous than Xia He had imagined, Dong Han practically branded Consort Dun as utterly wicked, convinced that she was a wolf in sheep's clothing with a deeper scheme.

Before she could calm down, Donghan, whom she had arranged to perform the belated investiture ceremony for Consort Dun, returned with a furious expression.
The Empress's inner thoughts, though unspoken, were practically exploding into fireworks, which was close enough.
"Tell me what exactly happened. Consort Dun is a new favorite, so we should avoid competing with her unless absolutely necessary."
Dong Han felt wronged. "Your Majesty, it's really because Consort Dun has no sense of hierarchy." She didn't even look up when she spoke to her. What kind of person is that?
The Empress retorted sharply, "When has Consort Dun ever had any sense of hierarchy?"
Mongolian concubines all like to be high and mighty. The current situation is still relatively good. In the harems of previous emperors, some Mongolian concubines would even directly crack whips at the emperor.
The pain in her forehead intensified, and the Empress couldn't help but groan before falling silent.
Upon seeing this, Dong Han was so frightened that he stopped talking and quickly reached out to massage the Empress carefully.
