Leaving Duanning Palace.
Empress Dowager Zhen's face changed instantly.
Back in Ninghe Palace, she sat on the kang and drank two sips of tea, finally catching her breath.
Looking at the rejected gift list in her hand, she sneered.
"Hum!"
"Good for that Empress, truly a heart of stone!"
"She can even ignore her own sister!"
Tao Yue was somewhat skeptical.
"Is it truly ignoring, or a strategy?"
"Imperial Noble Consort, speaking as a servant, we should proceed as planned!"
Empress Dowager Zhen was a bit annoyed.
"The original plan?"
"You mean letting Sixth Son marry Xia Ruyi?"
Tao Yue nodded.
"Can't he?"
"After all, Xia Ruyi is a legitimate daughter..."
"Shut up!"
Empress Dowager Zhen was in a rage.
"What about being legitimate?"
"Without the support of the Empress, given her father is just a County Magistrate, does she think she can become a Princess Consort?"
"Even if my Sixth Son isn't great, he certainly can't marry a woman of such standing!!"
