It was a very rare thing for a consort to summon a general to see her, even the empress herself did not have half of the courage to ask to see Wang Tengfei, talk less of the retired Wang general.
However, Consort Xīnyí not only invited the Wang general, but sent soldiers to escort him in case he declined her offer.
On his arrival, the general spat outside of her quarters showing his heavy distaste for the shrewd woman's approach. Never in a thousand centuries did the general think he would answer a summon from her.
"I don't think that was good." Shen Yating said from behind the general, referring to the action he just carried out.
The general didn't say anything and followed the guards till they reached her pantry, which had a table set with tea for four. She must have expected Shen Yating would come along, but the general frowned at who the extra cup was for.
