Xia Bing returned from outside with a worried look on her face.
Upon seeing Xia Bing's expression, Qingdai immediately stopped her, "What's wrong with you? How can you go to see Her Majesty looking like this?"
"I'll go see Her Majesty later!" Xia Bing said. She couldn't let herself affect Her Majesty, who was pregnant and couldn't afford any mishaps.
"What exactly happened?" Qingdai asked curiously.
"I just went to the Imperial Household Department, and the people there said that the Emperor has newly appointed a Lady-in-Waiting!" Xia Bing said angrily.
"Did you hear me clearly? Are you sure?" Qingdai asked repeatedly, sounding doubtful.
"Of course I heard it clearly! That big yellow dog from the Imperial Household Department went all the way to Yanxi Palace to curry favor!" Xia Bing wanted nothing more than to kick that guy a couple of times.
Qingdai smiled and said, "Why does it sound like you're calling a dog's name when you call it that!"
"Hmph! He's not even as good as a dog; at least a dog is loyal!"
"Alright, don't be angry. No matter who enters the palace, it won't affect our Empress's status!"
"Of course I know, I'm just worried your mother will be heartbroken if she finds out!" Xia Bing said anxiously. [Men's words really can't be trusted!]
"Don't tell Her Majesty yet!" Qingdai said with equal concern.
"Aren't you going to tell me anything?" Kazuyuki asked, standing at the door.
Xia Bing and Qing Dai turned around in surprise, not knowing that He Xue was standing behind them at some point, and they didn't know if He Xue had heard their conversation.
"Your Highness, why have you come out?" Qingdai immediately came to Hexue's side.
"I came out to see what you two were talking about!"
"Your Majesty, let's go inside first!" Qingdai helped Hexue walk into the house, then turned back and gave Xia Bing a look, signaling her to think of a solution quickly.
"You don't need to hide anything from me, just tell me what's on your mind!" He Xue said as they walked.
"How could we possibly hide anything from you?" Qingdai said awkwardly.
After entering the house and sitting down with Xue, he said, "Speak, what's the matter?"
Xia Bing looked at Qing Dai with some difficulty, she couldn't think of a way to say it.
"Is it difficult for you?" He Xue asked. "Tell me, there's nothing I can't accept!"
Seeing He Xue's expression, Xia Bing was even more at a loss for what to do.
"Could it be that the Emperor has favored another woman?" He Xue casually remarked, noticing Xia Bing's constipated appearance.
Xia Bing looked at He Xue in shock.
"Could it be that I guessed right?" He Xue asked, eating the walnut in her hand.
"Your Majesty, aren't you shocked and angry?" Qingdai asked.
"Why be shocked? The women in the palace all belong to the emperor."
"If you tell me the Emperor has favored a man, I might be quite shocked!" He Xue clapped her hands and said.
"I have no such hobby!" Emperor Jingning stormed in angrily.
After finishing his work, he immediately returned to Kunning Palace. He wanted to tell Hexue about An Lingrong, but instead overheard the mistress and servant maliciously gossiping about him.
When Qingdai and Xiabing saw Emperor Jingning arrive, they were so frightened that they immediately knelt on the ground.
He Xue looked at Emperor Jingning ingratiatingly, "Why did Your Majesty return at this time?" [Why return so late at night! It'll interrupt our gossip!]
Emperor Jingning discovered that his ability to hear everyone's thoughts, which he had previously been unable to do, had suddenly returned. After hearing He Xue's words, he wished he could never hear He Xue's thoughts again.
"How did my return interrupt your gossip?" Emperor Jingning said to He Xue, looking at her with displeasure.
"How could that be! Of course, the Emperor is the most important!" He Xue said with a smile, then secretly waved to Qing Dai and Xia Bing, signaling them to leave quickly.
[If the Emperor gets angry with me, I can't do it in front of Qingdai and Xiabing; it would damage my image!]
Emperor Jingning glanced at He Xue, both amused and exasperated, then asked seriously, "You don't care who I favor?"
