A little less than an hour later.
Xia Ruqing, finally dressed and ready, arrived fashionably late, leaning on Zi Yue's hand.
In the hall.
The Empress Dowager Zhen, who had been stewing in rage for quite some time, hurriedly rose to greet her.
"Empress!"
After Xia Ruqing sat down in the main seat, she waved her hand with a smile.
"Imperial Noble Consort, please rise. You're being too polite, no need for such formality!"
"Please, have a seat!"
Though she said this, she continued to sit there calmly, without the slightest sign of being moved.
Heh!
I was just being polite, don't take it seriously!
Empress Dowager Zhen forced a smile as she sat down, thanking insincerely.
"Thank you, Empress!"
Of course, Xia Ruqing didn't take it seriously either.
Zi Yue and Zi Su served tea.
After taking a sip, Xia Ruqing asked.
"I wonder what brings the Imperial Noble Consort here today?"
Sitting for so long, Empress Dowager Zhen's patience was already exhausted.
