章節 53: The morning court

"The royal highness is delegating me to come and find you, my royal highness," Zhang is bowing to Ni Qing as soon as she approaches him.

"Did I miss something as you refer me with a different title?" Ni Qing is curious to ask him about the way he is addressing her with the royal highness. Apparently, Ni Qing is already conferred with the title of royal consort which is one step down from the Empress. She is the only legal consort inside the harem of Jin Yu. No one knows about it except Jin Yu, prime minister, and the minister of rite under the prime minister.

"No… you are the legal wife of the royal highness of the emperor, so it will correct if I refer your name as royal highness," Zhang is answering her question.
