Attendant Lady Zhen understood in her heart.
She knew that when she was in Qiankun Palace, she was deliberately targeted, and it was the Empress who orchestrated it behind the scenes.
"Well, if you don't want me to kneel, I'll return now."
Attendant Lady Zhen even thought that kneeling half an hour more might earn her more rewards from the Emperor.
The Silver Taels the Emperor gave her felt unjustified if she didn't endure a couple of slaps.
Attendant Lady Zhen stood up, supported by palace maid Ah Zhu as she returned.
On the way back, she saw Concubine Xi's sedan chair, and recalled today was the day Concubine Xi would go to Yikun Palace to attend lessons with Princess Ruyi.
"Attendant Lady Zhen,"
Yun Jiao called to her: "What a coincidence, I just happened to be going to Yikun Palace to see you... When you pay respects, just do so, why do you need to lift your chin so high?"
