"The King told me that Chaoyan is visiting the court today, so I have been waiting at my palace all alone. Seeing that she has not yet arrived, I asked Susu to get the information, then I found out that she is at your palace… So I joined you for some small talk." The Queen sounded very mild, slow and gentle.
The Empress Dowager said nothing when she mentioned the King in front of her. She pursed her lips, showing no friendly look.
She did not like the Queen. She had only kept the girl for just a short while and now she was here defending her. Lord Ling's Princess Consort spent the whole day serving her before, and Princess Jing did not do anything about it.
That was what the Jiang Family were like - they were all martial arts people who did not have good manners. If not for the King, she would not have shown any coutersey to her.
