Chapter 1350 - 1357: Fight Fire with Fire (1)
Empress Dowager Mo, seeing the Old Madame make things difficult for Miss Ning, quickly smoothed things over by saying, "Mother, what you say isn’t right. Ancient people said: A man is like a pitcher and a woman like a cup, where is the reasoning that one pitcher should only be matched with one cup? Although The Emperor is now closely bonded with the Empress, as if they were stuck together like lacquer, that is merely because they are still newlyweds. Give it some days, and The Emperor will naturally grow weary, and moreover, if the Empress becomes pregnant in the future, one can’t expect The Emperor to sleep alone in a cold bed with no one to wait upon him!"
After the Empress Dowager put it that way, Miss Ning’s complexion eased a bit, but her face was still flushed, and she didn’t dare to lift her head.
"Empress Dowager arrives—"
Following Meng Huaian’s prolonged announcement, Cai Wei’s phoenix palanquin landed outside Empress Dowager Mo’s The Palace, and the Madams and the Misses of the Princesses and Duchesses all came out to greet her, bowing to Cai Wei.
"Greetings to Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"
"Rise!"
Cai Wei, supported by Meng Huaian’s hand, stepped down from the phoenix palanquin. She was dressed in a bright yellow court dress, embroidered with five-colored nine-tailed phoenixes, paired with a plain gauze undergarment, with brushes of cinnabar red bordering the collar, edges of her clothing, and hem of her skirt, and a jade belt tied around her waist.
Atop her head was a coronet adorned with four golden phoenixes, the central large golden phoenix clutching a round and lustrous pearl, with a green canopy above and pearl tassels hanging below. The smaller golden phoenixes were also each holding a beaded drop.
