Empress Dowager Cheng smiled sarcastically at Empress Dowager Zheng: "Even I am not willing to praise those who are capable. Miss Zhao, there is no need to be modest. But I feel uncomfortable if I don't praise those whom even Sister Zheng praises."
Empress Dowager Zheng watched as her son remained silent, allowing Empress Dowager Cheng to ridicule her. Her face turned pale with anger, and her breathing became heavy.
Just as Jing Huaixu was about to bestow Zhao Nianfu upon Jing Shuo, Zheng Yutong suddenly grabbed the tablecloth and fell to the ground.

"I'm going to the inner palace. You should go back first."
"Jingyi's manners have improved to this extent. She usually comes to the East Palace all loud and boisterous. Has she recently learned to invite people over?" Jingyan glanced at the departing people in the hall without leaving a trace.
