Even if they had many grievances in their hearts, they could not change Hongli's arrangement.
Therefore, the people in Chonghua Palace stopped dawdling and began moving their palaces, each according to their rank and assigned palace.
Because of Hongli's succession to the throne, he distributed titles and palaces, and the Song and Wu families naturally had to move to other palaces. They did not move to Cining Palace, but to Shou Kang Palace. Hongli ordered Cining Palace to remain empty.
Although the Fourth Prince and Lanqin are not currently in the palace, Hongli is determined to one day have Lanqin return to reside in Cining Palace. Hongli wants to keep this position for Lanqin, hoping that one day Cining Palace will welcome its true mistress, so he has begun to send people to repair Cining Palace.
Meanwhile, inside Chengqian Palace.
After instructing the palace maids to tidy up in the side hall of Chengqian Palace, Empress Keliye went to the main hall of Chengqian Palace to pay her respects to Consort Gao.
Keliyete looked at Gao, who was drinking tea, and curtsied to her, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness, may the Imperial Concubine enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
Even a minor nobleman has a title, but I don't!
However, Gao Shi naturally did not voice her thoughts. She merely glanced at Keliye Te, who was bowing to her, and then looked away, ignoring Keliye Te.
In addition, Gao knew that Keliyete had always been on good terms with Xueying, so she was even more dissatisfied with Keliyete. She couldn't go to Hongli to argue, so she took her anger out on Keliyete, not telling her to get up and making her squat in a half-squatting position.
Poor Keliye was caught in the crossfire. Without Gao's orders, Keliye could only keep kneeling and maintaining the bowing posture.
Keliyete felt a pang of bitterness in her heart. She had never expected that Consort Gao would treat her like this, but Keliyete dared not speak out against her anger.
After squatting for a while, Gao looked at Keliyete, who was already somewhat unsteady, and said with feigned surprise, "Why is my sister here? How long have you been bowing?"
"Get up quickly. I was a little distracted just now and didn't know my sister was here." Gao frowned and scolded the maidservant who was serving her. "Why didn't you tell me that Consort Yu was here?"
"This servant knows she was wrong." The palace maid beside her quickly knelt down and begged for forgiveness, but there was no real remorse in her words; it was more of a perfunctory response.
Seeing the way Lady Gao and the palace maid were behaving, how could Lady Keliye not know that they were just putting on an act? It seemed that Lady Gao was simply worried that if today's events were to reach the Emperor's ears, it would be difficult to explain.
Koliye didn't know what to say, so she just smiled apologetically and said, "It's alright, I just arrived."
The scene inside Xianfu Palace at this time was completely different from that inside Chengqian Palace.
Like Lady Jin and Lady Keliye, after tidying up in the side hall of Xianfu Palace, Lady Jin went to Lady Su's place to pay her respects, saying, "Greetings, Your Highness, may Consort An enjoy boundless blessings and peace."
"Get up." Madam Su didn't make things difficult for Madam Jin and waved her hand to signal her to get up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Lady Su instructed the palace maids to serve tea and snacks to Lady Jin, and then said to Lady Jin, who was standing to the side, "If there is anything inconvenient in Xianfu Palace, just come and tell me."
Seeing that Madam Song was not pretentious, Madam Jin was secretly pleased and quickly said with a smile, "Thank you, Consort An."
