Zhan Yanhui returned to her own palace to rest a little before she set out to pay her respects to the empress as per palace rules. She was still curious about the emperor's whereabouts but she didn't dwell on it for too long. Everyone had her own personal secrets after all, it wasn't good to intrude so much.
She arrived there to see Consort Wei and Consort Li talking with the empress before she bowed first and said. "This Noble Consort greets the Empress!"
Consort Wei and Consort Li shared a look debating on whether to greet but the pressure in the room was too great for them to ignore. They both bowed to Zhan Yanhui. "Consort Wei and Consort Li greets the Noble Consort!"
Han Yaling frowned at the scene as the room became quiet for a moment. She wasn't expecting the two consorts with her to still greet Zhan Yanhui. She swallowed her displeasure and said. "You can now rise. "
