Chapter 1904: Chapter 1842: Rumors Spread

There are no secrets in the imperial city. Empress Dowager Mo was unwell, and the Princess Consort of Jin attended to her illness, but she made a mistake, angering the Empress Dowager, who furiously ordered the Princess Consort of Jin to go to Puji Temple for fasting and praying for blessing, copying the Classic of Filial Piety, not allowing her to return until the end of the year.

This news swept through the Beiyan Capital like a gust of wind, spreading furiously. People speculated about what unprecedented thing the Princess Consort of Jin did to anger the Empress Dowager so quickly? Not long ago, during the Longevity Festival, Empress Dowager Mo publicly gave her face, showing a deep affection between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. How did it change in just a few days?

However, the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is always a difficult problem. Especially since this pair of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have just started interacting not long ago, having conflicts is not unusual. The Princess Consort of Jin came from a low background, so maybe she did something inappropriate.

For a time, people who kicked someone when they were down and spoke malicious words were not few, all saying that the Princess Consort of Jin was ill-mannered and lowborn, and so on.

The same was true within the palace.

"The Royal Mother is angry with the Princess Consort of Jin?" Emperor Yan looked at Eunuch Lu with some surprise: "For what reason?"

"It seems the Princess Consort of Jin contradicted the Empress Dowager." Eunuch Lu said cautiously.

Emperor Yan squinted his eyes and said, "Even if that is the case, she’s punished to pray for blessing alone at the temple; why is Ah Jiu going with her?"

This Eunuch Lu knew the answer and replied, "The Princess Consort of Jin’s mother’s death anniversary is these days, and it’s said that a Water and Land Ceremony at Puji Temple was arranged early. The prince being a son-in-law, he went together."

Emperor Yan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "The dignified prince, serving as a son-in-law to worship for the mother-in-law, isn’t this too... never mind."

He rubbed the large ring on his thumb, thought for a while, and was somewhat curious about how the Princess Consort of Jin contradicted the Royal Mother, so he said, "Let Commander Zhao... never mind, it’s nothing."

The Royal Mother is unwell and unwilling even to see him. If she finds out he’s investigating the Cining Palace, she’ll be even more annoyed, so forget it.

Eunuch Lu gave a strange look, seeing him returning to reviewing memorials, he obediently stood aside.

Kunning Palace.

Empress Song was having a palace maid dye her nails with balsam juice, frowning at the news.

Angered with the Princess Consort of Jin?

At the time when she was around, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seemed just like a real mother and daughter, so suddenly being angry with the Princess Consort of Jin seemed unlikely?

"Did you hear wrong, really angry?" Empress Song asked her close palace maid, Ah Cai.

The unremarkable-looking Ah Cai nodded and said, "It’s true. It’s heard from the other side that they even made the Princess Consort of Jin kneel."

Empress Song raised an eyebrow, leaned back against the big red peony soft welcoming pillow, curling her lips, saying, "This is interesting. Let her find out what the Princess Consort of Jin said to make the Empress Dowager so furious."

"At that time, only the Empress Dowager, the Princess Consort of Jin, and Nanny Shui were present, so..."

Upon hearing this, Empress Song became silent, sensing something was off.

"Investigate as much as possible," she ordered coldly.

If something seems wrong, you should trust your instincts.

Empress Song felt there was something too much here, instinctively telling her to be vigilant and cautious.

Ah Cai responded and withdrew.

"Your Majesty, the stew is ready." Another palace maid entered, carrying a lacquered red food box carved with a design of children presenting a longevity peach.

Empress Song glanced at the food box, hummed softly after a while, raised her richly dyed nails, and blew on them gently, saying, "Move to the Yangxin Hall."

After all, she was the virtuous and benevolent Empress.
