Chapter 1167 - 1161: Seeing a Doctor
Consort Zhang slightly lifted her head, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
She herself carried a strong scholarly aura, making one perceive her as a well-educated and cultured person. Moreover, the Empress had already regretted making Lin Qianqing the main consort instead of favoring the daughter from the Zhang Family. Therefore, when Consort Zhang spoke of this matter, the expression on the Empress’s face noticeably improved.
The Empress said lightly, "Since the main consort is ill, she should rest well. From now on, the affairs of the residence will be handled by Consort Zhang."
The words of the Empress left all the women in the room extremely surprised. Wasn’t the Empress always known for her adherence to protocol? She was just speaking of rules moments ago, so why has she suddenly assigned such authority to Consort Zhang?
Not distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate, unclear on seniority and precedence, what kind of rule is this?
Lin Qianqing could only give a bitter smile and kowtowed to thank for the grace.
For her, perhaps it did not matter much anyway, for this was not her desired role; it was thrust upon her by others.
Consort Zhang was also extremely shocked, but seeing a hint of disgust for Lin Qianqing in the Empress’s eyes, her shock turned into joy.
The words spoken by the Empress were even more influential than those from King Jin himself.
In the future, even if she fell out of favor and someone wanted to take back the authority of managing the household from her, they would still have to consider the Empress’s stance.
All the women kneeling on the ground rapidly churned their thoughts, speculating about who would truly hold sway in Prince Jin Residence in the future.
It seemed it was time to find an opportunity to make a good impression on Consort Zhang.
