Taifu Palace.
Empress Dowager Xiang leaned against the bed, with incense curling up beside her, while the palace maids bowed their heads, massaging her back and legs.
Nanny Zhao knelt not far away, her expression angry.
"Empress Dowager, you have no idea how outrageous the Princess is! The female virtues you ordered her to copy as punishment, she hasn't written a single word. When I kindly reminded her, she actually spoke insolently."
"Empress Dowager, it seems the Princess doesn't take you seriously at all."
"Indeed, Empress Dowager, the Princess is becoming more and more disrespectful! If this continues, she might as well be in charge of the entire harem."
Several old nannies echoed in agreement.
Empress Dowager Xiang pursed her lips and did not speak, but anyone could see that she was very angered.
"How is Zhangzhang doing?" she asked in a hushed voice.
