"Good, good."
Madam Zui responded repeatedly, thinking to herself that today, she must make that wretch Zui Yiming agree, so her daughter could enter the palace!
"Chun’er, hurry, co with to the palace to see your sister..."
She was feeling pleased while she turned her head and called out to Zui Yichun to prepare to enter the palace. Little did she know, before she could finish speaking, a palace maid’s voice rang out.
"The Empress has decreed that only Madam Zui is summoned to the palace, all others are to wait outside." She said coolly.
"What?!"
Madam Zui nearly jumped up at the maid’s words.
She had been planning on sending her daughter into the palace and not letting her return today.
Who knew that wretch Zui Yiming actually wouldn’t allow her daughter into the palace. What does that an, is she guarding against them?
"Auntie, this isn’t right... Chun’er and I ca together, Chun’er is the Empress’s own sister, how could the Empress not allow Chun’er to enter the palace to see her? Did you hear incorrectly?"
In her heart, she cursed Zui Yiming ten thousand tis over, truly wishing to cut her into pieces.
"I am only a ssenger, if Madam Zui thinks I heard wrongly, that’s simple enough to handle." The palace maid glanced blandly at Zui Yichun standing behind Madam Zui.
"Would you kindly wait here with Miss Chun a bit longer, I’ll go confirm with the Empress once more to see if she has indeed summoned Miss Chun."
She said.
"Ugh!"
Madam Zui was struck speechless by the palace maid’s words.
They had already been waiting at the palace gate for an hour, if the maid went back to report again, received Zui Yiming’s instructions, and then returned, how long would they have to wait?
This is just asking for her and Chun’er’s lives, who does things like this?
"Auntie, you see, how can we trouble you to run back and forth like this, how about you first lead Chun’er and into the palace, once we et the Empress, she will surely be happy and won’t hold it against you, won’t she?"
She smiled ingratiatingly at the palace maid, suggesting.
In her heart, she thought, once her Chun’er gained influence in the palace, she would certainly punish this palace maid, and see if those who lacked insight in the palace would dare to offend her in the future.
"Madam Zui, do you intend to force your way into the palace?"
The palace maid’s eyes widened, her voice suddenly rose a few pitches, drawing the attention of the guards at the palace gate.
"Ugh!"
Madam Zui was once again rendered speechless, her heart skipped a beat.
To forcefully enter the palace? That’s a grave cri punishable by death, sothing beyond what a re woman like her could bear.
"No, no, I didn’t an that, I just... just..."
She simply wanted to bring her daughter into the palace, why was it so difficult? Could it be that wretch Zui Yiming already knew their intentions, which is why she deliberately prevented Chun’er from entering?
This is not an impossible scenario.
This Zui Yiming is getting more and more capable, doesn’t she realize if not for the Zui Family, she wouldn’t have lived to this age?
"Glad you don’t an that."
The palace maid nodded blandly, with a smile that didn’t reach her eyes as she looked at her.
"Madam Zui, do you still want to follow into the palace? If not, I’ll head back first, the Empress is still waiting for to report back."
She said.
Did they really think the Empress was a fool? Anyone could see what this family was scheming.
