"The Emperor did not stay overnight at Yao Hua Palace last night. I heard that Lady Xiu Rong did something that angered the Emperor, and he left in the night, furious, injuring his hand."
Shui Bai stood behind Han Yiqing, helping her with her hair.
"Make it simple, wear the hairpins and bracelets given by the Emperor, and wear that set of green long dress." Han Yiqing said softly.
Shui Bai bowed to Fuli and then helped her prepare according to Han Yiqing's instructions.
Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager had not yet risen.
"Beauty Qing is here." The eunuch softly sang to remind.
Chen Jing lifted the curtain and greeted from inside: "Greetings to Beauty Qing, may Beauty Qing be auspicious."
"Is the Empress Dowager awake?"
"Not yet, but it's almost time. Beauty, please come in and wait." Chen Jing said softly.
Han Yiqing nodded and entered the inner chamber with Shui Yun.
She had just entered when she heard the hoarse voice of the Empress Dowager inside: "Is Qing'er here?"
