Chương 355: Chapter 355: the Emperor and Empress are not on good terms

Seeing that Lu Chen had arrived, consort qi and Consort Chu did not dare to stay any longer. They took their leave together with Prince Bao and Prince Yun.

Lu Chen sat beside Lady Qiao and said, “Don’t listen to the nonsense of Lady Qi.”

Lady Qiao said, “Yes, Hong Qifeng is the first female official, and also the first female scholar. Her existence is to tell all the women in the world that they can study and become officials and achieve fame and fortune.

“Therefore, you should treat her better and praise her more. You can also tell the world that being a female official is not necessarily inferior to being a male official.

“Moreover, Hong Qifeng is talented to begin with. It’s just that I didn’t expect the rumors outside the palace to be so outrageous.

“This rumor has to be dealt with. Otherwise, in the future, everyone will think that Hong Qifeng’s current status is because you have feelings for her.
