Chapter 1077 - 1079: Coronation and Grand Wedding (6)
Cai Wei couldn’t have been more relieved to not meet, also sparing herself from all the kneeling and bowing. Upon learning that the Retired Emperor would not see them, she was overjoyed and damaged the Dragon Carriage with Nangong Yi, preparing to pay respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager.
Seeing her suddenly so happy, Nangong Yi couldn’t help but laugh and said, "What is it that makes Wei’er so happy? Share it so I can be happy too, shall we?"
Cai Wei shook her head, bitterly saying, "Of course, it’s because the Retired Emperor isn’t seeing us, I’m delighted. My neck is almost broken by this phoenix crown. If he had summoned us and lectured us, I might have been lying dead before he even finished his grand speeches!"
Nangong Yi, with furrowed brows and a pained expression, looked at the phoenix crown on Cai Wei’s head and suddenly said, "Yang Yong, back to Chengqian Palace!"
The Chengqian Palace was Empress Mu’s sleeping chamber, right next to the Emperor’s study room and only a short walk from where the Emperor worked. It was strategically chosen by the Emperor himself.
Yang Yong spoke softly and cautiously, "Your Majesty, the Empress hasn’t yet paid respects to the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. It might not be proper to return to Chengqian Palace now!"
Nangong Yi, visibly displeased, said, "Yang Yong, if you say another word, you can roll back to your Jade Palace. I can manage without one eunuch!"
"Forgive me, Your Majesty; your servant spoke out of turn!"
Yang Yong hastily apologized and shut his mouth, daring not to speak another word.
