Wu Jinmai's POV
After my husband leaves, I ask my uncle to summon Zhang Yihua, Yang Hua, Yun He, Wang Hui, and Wei Pei Rou to my chamber for dinner.
I will use this chance to test the ladies and speak with them. As the leader of the inner court, I need to watch these ladies.
I went into the kitchen and checked the dishes that they would cook.
"Make sure that everything will be cooked properly. There are four ladies that will eat with me tonight. I will entrust our meal to all of you," I remarked. They bow their heads.
"Understood, Your Highness," the head chef replied.
I smiled and left after. There are perks to being an empress or high noble lady in this era. But living inside the palace was the most dangerous thing you could have.
I took a bath and wore my purple hanfu. I look at my shoulder drapes. The embroidery of a phoenix and lotus was beautiful.
