Yun Jiao asked again, "Other than His Majesty, who else can summon a lady of rank to the palace?"
His Majesty calmly replied, "Besides me, only the Empress Dowager and the Empress have the authority to summon a lady of rank to the palace."
Yun Jiao knelt and said, "Today, while I was consulting at Renxin Hall, a young eunuch came and said he was conveying the words of the Noble Consort, summoning me to Rong Mansion to examine Mrs. Qin."
"I did not wish to go."
"Then another young eunuch summoned me to the palace."
"As I am not familiar with palace etiquette, I have come to consult His Majesty first."
His Majesty's face turned completely grim, "Such a thing happened?!"
He pondered for a moment, "National Lady, please rise."
Yun Jiao slowly stood up, and His Majesty ordered the eunuch, "Go summon Consort Rong!"
The eunuch swiftly retreated.
Soon, Consort Rong entered through the doors of the Imperial Study Room.
