Chapter 3: Crossing
Early spring, in the Great Zhou Dynasty, in Changchun Palace——
It was past the hour of Mao and the sky was already bright. The concubines had been sitting there for nearly an hour. The tea in front of them had been changed three times and was now completely cold. However, the Queen still refused to let them go. What was going on?
[hour of Mao = 5 to 7 A.M.]
The young concubine suppressed her resentment and looked at the first chair under the queen. Needless to say, that naturally belonged to the imperial concubine.
And today, the imperial concubine still waited for a long time and still had no arrival. No wonder the queen looked so unhappy, and she simply did not call them back.
Before she became pregnant, although the imperial concubine was arrogant and domineering, she was still unable to skip the morning and evening visits due to palace rules.
Now that the imperial concubine is pregnant and in the late stage of pregnancy, the prince is about to be born. She is becoming more and more confident. Recently, she has even rarely come on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, using the excuse of being unwell. Even if she wants to come, she will wait until they are about to leave.
They hurriedly paid their respects to the Queen, thinking it was a greeting. It was really arrogant. If they were the Queen, they would definitely not tolerate it.
Of course, what is most infuriating is that the imperial concubine behaved so arrogantly, but the emperor just acted as if he didn’t see anything and just indulged her. How could people not be jealous?
