The Empress Dowager was really... a bit too much today.
It's only been a few days since she became the Empress Dowager, and she openly criticized the Late Emperor.
True, the Late Emperor's conferment of Noble Consort Yu wasn't flattering. But in front of the Grand Empress Dowager, in front of the Fourth Master, how could it be her place to criticize?
That's simply disregarding the Grand Empress Dowager and the Fourth Master.
One is her mother-in-law in name. Ye Zao doesn't believe she didn't show respect back in the day.
The other, although her son, is the reigning Emperor.
She only remembers he's her son, but has she no sense of him being the Emperor?
They say a daughter-in-law will become a mother-in-law after a thousand years, but is this what they mean?
It really seems a bit... frivolous.
Ye Zao thinks about the Consort De in our country's history, who died of illness not long after Emperor Yongzheng took the throne.
