Chapter 35

During the Mid-Autumn Festival feast, many noblewomen entered the palace to pay their respects to the Empress and other high-ranking figures. Madam Huo had not expected that Imperial Concubine Mei would suddenly send a verbal command for Miss Shen to attend as well. Standing before the palace gate, Madam Huo coldly warned her to be discreet in her words and actions once inside. Given Madam Huo’s status, she was entitled to a sedan chair to enter the palace grounds, but Miss Shen, naturally, had no such privilege, and Madam Huo was not about to go out of her way to request a favor from Imperial Concubine Mei on her behalf. Once through the gate, the two parted ways, and Madam Huo departed in her sedan chair.
