Consort Rong was of lowly birth and utterly vulgar. I had originally intended to humiliate her tomorrow, but now…
Consort Rong made them change into red palace dresses and wear gold jewelry.
Consort Rong wants them to lose face too!
With her eyes darting around, Consort Yun was already mentally calculating how to find an excuse to decline the invitation tomorrow, and how to avoid embarrassing herself along with Consort Rong...

The Empress Dowager knelt calmly before the Buddha statue, muttering incantations.
The Empress Dowager's face turned ashen and her expression darkened. In the end, she could not hold back and said to the Grand Empress Dowager in a deep voice, "Empress Mother, are we just going to let the Emperor act so recklessly?"
