However, thinking about the inexplicable things about Sun Miaoqing, he shrank back. If he couldn't afford to offend her, he could at least avoid her.
The last one to arrive today was Consort Fucha, who had just been chosen by the chubby orange cat yesterday.
When Sun Miaoqing saw her enter, she was shy, like a newlywed, with a slight blush on her cheeks. Her mannerisms were different from before, and those present, all experienced women, immediately understood the reason.
Consort Li turned her head away, too lazy to look at this eyesore, while Sister Mei and Noble Lady Fucha smiled gently at each other.
After everyone had arrived, the Empress finished tidying up and came out. After everyone had paid their respects, the usual conversation began again.
Before the Empress could speak, Consort Hua jumped out to show her return.
"During this time, although I was ill, I heard that after Consort Fucha recovered, she went to serve the Empress every day and was very diligent."
"Why are you so late today? Have you achieved your goal and now you feel it's no longer necessary?"
[Hua Pangpang is so aggressive! These provocative words just slip out; anyone can understand them, but everyone will find them irritating!]
As expected, Consort Fucha stood up anxiously upon hearing this and apologized to the Empress.
"Your Majesty, please understand, this concubine did not mean that, and I did not arrive late on purpose today, it's just that..."
Consort Fucha stammered, clearly unable to speak, her face growing increasingly red.
The Empress would not allow Consort Hua to have her way, and said gently, "Noble Lady Fucha, please sit down first. I understand your intentions."
"You served the Emperor yesterday, so you must have been tired. But you didn't miss the time to pay your respects, so there's no question of you being late."
Then, the Empress turned her gaze to Consort Hua, saying, "Consort Hua, I am very pleased that you have come so early after recovering from your serious illness. I hope that you can do the same in the future."
Consort Hua said, "Paying respects to the Empress is a palace rule. As I assist in managing the six palaces, I will naturally set an example for the concubines."
"It's just that His Majesty is so kind and insists on not letting me get up early, and I can't disobey him, so I can only ask Your Majesty to bear with this. Your Majesty won't mind if it's just a short while, like the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, will you?"
[Empress: I care, I care so much I'm going crazy!]
[Hua Pangpang and the Empress are bickering, this love-hate relationship is suddenly so sweet! Why don't we just leave the big fat orange aside and let the two of you be together!]
The Empress and Consort Hua exchanged a glance, then turned their heads away in tacit agreement. Who wants to live with this vile woman!
