Chapter 843 - 739, Generous Reward
The Emperor made no attempt to disguise his favoritism toward the Countess of Shengping, leaving everyone greatly surprised.
What was more astonishing was that on the Duanwu festival, when the Emperor was expected to dine with the Empress Dowager and the Empress, he exchanged only a few words with the Empress Dowager before rising and departing.
This was undoubtedly a slight to both the Empress Dowager and Empress!
Princess Huijia glanced at the silent Countess of Shengping, having an outrageous suspicion that today’s lack of consideration for the Empress Dowager by the Emperor seemed somehow related to the Countess of Shengping.
But, was that possible?
Even if the Emperor valued the Yan Family, valued Yeyang, there was no need for him to compromise the Empress Dowager’s dignity for a mere Countess of Shengping.
Did the Emperor leave because of Daohua?
Of course!
Seeing Daohua with tears welling up in her eyes the moment she set eyes on him, the Emperor instinctively understood the emotions in her gaze.
She was grieving for her mother’s injustice, for the unfairness her mother had suffered!
