Gu Yinwei sighed deeply. The strong bully the weak, and the weak bully the weaker.
Concubine Yi extended an invitation to Concubine Zhen, "Concubine Zhen, there is an empty seat here in the palace, please come and sit down."
Concubine Zhen glared at Concubine Xian Gui fiercely.
"Master, please take your seat." Xiaoyu helped her sit next to Concubine Yi.
The wine gourd in Concubine Rou's hand was empty, and she dozed off on the table.
Concubine Jin's heart was pounding, fearing that Concubine Zhen's anger would spread to her.
A moment later, the emperor arrived and the empress dowager took her seat.
The people on the stage became busy. Some played the erhu, some beat the gong, some beat the drums, and some wore flowery clothes and sang little songs.
The eunuch presented the empress dowager with a memorial, and she selected two plays, "Rescuing Mother at Baidi City" and "Searching for Relatives".

"Since I was born, I have been inferior to my third brother in every way. My father left behind a will that clearly stated that my third brother would inherit the throne. My mother bravely supported me against all odds and helped me ascend the throne. I am deeply grateful and have no reason to complain."
The emperor expressed his gratitude, but there was no gratitude in his eyes.
"You are simply unfilial."
A play was being performed on the stage, and a group of people were chattering. One of them was making movements of digging a hole, and another woman was crying while holding her baby in her arms.
The gist of it is that the family's elderly mother was seriously ill, and the family was short of food and clothing, so the man insisted on digging a hole and burying his young son alive.
