"The Empress is right; you should refrain from leaving the palace so often in the future. Don't embarrass me by acting disgracefully outside the palace, and certainly don't break the palace rules!"
The Emperor glanced at Princess Consort Lian impatiently and spoke.
Princess Consort Lian: "..."
She finally understood why the Emperor was treating her with such an attitude; was it because she had left the palace several times without the Emperor's verbal approval?
But what of it? In the past, whenever she wanted to leave the palace, when did she ever not go out directly, without any need for verbal approval?
Her resentful gaze turned to the Empress Dowager.
She was very clear in her heart that if it were just the Emperor alone, he would not think of such matters. It must be the Empress, that malicious woman, who brought it up!
In the past, she had thought the Empress Dowager was just a little white rabbit that could be bullied and used by others.
