It didn't waste time for the imperial consort to hear of what had happened to the Empress and how Ming Huiqing intervened. She sat legs crossed with her favorite book balanced on her legs, since she was in the cold palace she had not had time to catch up.
Her mood was already soiled when she found out the main character and male lead were separated for four years. But now, upon hearing the news her frown couldn't be masked.
"Noble Consort, please do not take it out on those, they are gifts from the Emperor." A maid wailed in a loud voice, her watery eyes were glued to the pretty fabrics the consort destroyed with her nails.
"Fuck that Emperor." She cussed, the maids all clasped their palms against their ears, blocking out the insult.
