"I heard that Consort Cheng has been making a huge fuss since she became pregnant. She is very unruly. How can the emperor avoid his concubines?"
The Empress Dowager's words were undeniably harsh, clearly indicating her dissatisfaction with Sun Miaoqing.
Big Fatty frowned. Whether he was avoiding Sun Miaoqing or not was his business. The Empress Dowager was old and should enjoy her retirement. She should stay away from his harem!
"Who was the gossip who dared to spread rumors to the Empress Dowager?"
