Chapter 1696 Embarrassing Her
"I cannot stay here any longer; I cannot remain seated in this setting."
The Empress looked at the maid with a calm expression and a somewhat indifferent tone, not at all like someone who was there to cause trouble.
"But as the eldest sister-in-law, I also need to see how this sister-in-law is doing and say a few words to her. If you are worried, I will wait for you at the door and go in to ask her first."
"If your princess does not agree to let me in, I will turn around and leave."
She was the Empress.
Even the Empress spoke to her maid so politely, how could the maid dare to refuse?
The main reason is that she hasn't been here long and doesn't know the personalities of Prince Jin and Lu Zhaoling.
The Empress had never come out before, and this maid was even less aware of the relationship between the Empress and Prince Jin.
She was just a maid; how could she know so much?
"Then please come with me, Your Majesty."
The maidservant had been serving in the backyard and hadn't gone to the front hall, so she didn't know what was happening outside.
She could only lead the Empress to the outside of the bridal chamber with some trepidation.
"Your Highness, could you please wait here? This servant will go in and tell Sister Qingyin..."
She can't just enter the new house without telling Qingyin and Qingbao first.
But before she could finish speaking, the Empress raised her voice and called out into the room.
"Princess Consort of Jin, I am the Crown Prince's mother." The Empress didn't want to reveal her identity directly at this moment, so she simply said that she was the Crown Prince's mother. "I have a few questions I'd like to ask you in person. May I come in?"
The maid was getting extremely anxious.
She was so shocked and scared that she almost spun around on the spot.
"Your Majesty the Empress..."
Why are you like this?
Didn't we agree to let her go in and ask first before we discussed it further?
The maid never expected that she would be deceived by the Empress!
Would even the Empress lie?
Her eyes welled up with tears.
I was originally thinking that I absolutely couldn't offend the Empress and cause trouble today, but I ended up disobeying the Prince's orders—
The prince said that no one, regardless of who they are, is allowed to enter the bridal chamber and disturb the princess without his and the princess's permission.
Now that the Empress has said this, the Princess Consort will surely hear it.
Sure enough, Lu Zhaoling, who had already eaten and drunk her fill, heard the Empress's voice in her room.
She was a little surprised.
Qingyin and Qingbao exchanged a glance, both somewhat shocked.
"Did Her Majesty come alone?"
If you really want to see the princess, shouldn't you send someone to deliver a message first?
And the princess is still wearing a bridal veil.
Whoosh.
Sheng San Niangzi entered the bridal chamber.
In a few words, she told Lu Zhaoling that the Empress and the Crown Prince had apparently been arguing outside, and that she had secretly come to the backyard.
However, she did not mention the content of the argument between the Empress and the Crown Prince.
"I noticed that the Prince of Jin's attitude towards her was not very good; it seemed as if he disliked her very much."
Madam Sheng was also somewhat annoyed and said to Lu Zhaoling, "How is this befitting of an empress? And she's even shouting outside. Master, in my opinion, you should just ignore her!"
How is the Empress?
Madam Sheng felt that the Empress had nothing that Master Lu could curry favor with.
The Empress was rude first, so it's perfectly fine for the Master to ignore her.
"If the prince knew, he would definitely be on your side."
Lu Zhaoling heard the Empress's footsteps approaching.
There was also a maidservant trying to stop her; she looked like she was about to cry.
“Granny Qing is soft-hearted, and the maids she recruits are also soft-hearted,” Lu Zhaoling said.
Qingyin and Qingbao pursed their lips. "Your Highness, this servant will go out and stop the Empress."
The new maids didn't dare to stop the Empress, but the two of them did.
The prince had told them long ago that their duty was to prioritize the princess's interests. If anyone dared to provoke the princess, they would fight them, no matter who they were.
The prince will always take care of anything.
The same goes for the empress.
"Princess Consort of Jin, this matter is of great importance. Shouldn't you listen to what I have to say before you speak?" The Empress's voice came through again.
Just as Qingyin and Qingbao were about to leave, Lu Zhaoling called them back.
“Let her in. But please ask her to stand by the door and not go any further,” Lu Zhaoling said.
She wanted to hear what the Empress wanted to say that she had come specifically to see her.
However, she also didn't want to give the Empress any face.
After all, it seems that the Empress has no intention of giving her any face at all.
"Yes."
Qingyin and Qingbao immediately went out. One of them invited the Empress in, while the other stood guard at the door.
The Empress was immediately struck by the overwhelming red and regal atmosphere of the room upon entering.
Perhaps it was because she had been in the bleakness of the Buddhist temple for too long.
Moreover, just by glancing at this new house, one can tell how much effort Zhou Shiyue put in and how much money he invested.
Everything here is extremely valuable.
Even with all these bright red decorations, the luxury is still undeniable.
"Your Majesty, please stand here." Qingbao stopped the Empress, who had just stepped across the threshold and was about to walk inside.
Qingyin whispered a few words to the maid outside, then told her to wait outside the courtyard.
The maidservant lowered her head and left.
Sister Qingyin is so serious.
But how dare the princess let the empress stand by the door to speak? How audacious of her!
In that instant, the maidservant gained a very clear understanding of her princess's arrogance and domineering nature.
Later, this maidservant grew up very quickly and became a great help to Qingyin and Qingbao. But that's another story.
The Queen looked on incredulously.
She looked at Lu Zhaoling sitting inside. There was still a considerable distance between them, and the curtains were drawn, so she could just stand there and talk to Lu Zhaoling.
Moreover, even after she came in, Lu Zhaoling remained seated inside, motionless, without even trying to get up to greet her or bow to her?
"What do you mean by this? Don't you know who I am?" The Empress's face darkened.
Qingyin walked in and stood in front of her.
"This servant knows that you are the Empress."
Qingyin bowed respectfully and said, "However, this is the bridal chamber. Our Princess is a new bride entering the manor, so she must sit there and wait for the Prince to return and lift the veil. She cannot come over to greet Your Highness."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, today is the wedding day of the newlyweds, and they are blessed with the greatest auspicious energy, so we can avoid offending the Empress."
What she meant was that today, no matter how big the world is, the bride is the most important.
Anyone who tries to make the bride come over and curtsy might be offended, and that would be bad for the Empress.
Qingbao couldn't bring herself to say those words to Qingyin, so she simply followed behind and said, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"
The Empress felt a lump in her throat.
She hadn't expected Lu Zhaoling to have this kind of personality.
This was of course Lu Zhaoling's idea. How could her maid dare to be so forceful without her permission?
The Empress pondered for a long time before swallowing her anger.
"Row."
Why should she bother arguing with a little girl?
She stood there without going any further. Qingyin was somewhat surprised; the Empress hadn't forced her way in?
"Zhaoling, may I call you that for now? I met your mother, Cui Liyue, back then."
