In terms of age, Zhao Rui is two years older than Su Jinpa.

When it came to entering the East Palace, Zhao Rui arrived long before Su Jinpa.

But Su Jinping's status was higher than Zhao Rui's, so when Zhao Rui called her sister, it was perfectly reasonable. Su Jinping also felt comfortable and at ease hearing it.

She said, "His Highness is not in the capital now. The East Palace's reputation relies on you and me sisters to support it. Outsiders dare not make trouble, and we women don't need to interfere. But for internal affairs, we should still pay attention, especially if someone dares to harm His Highness, no matter who they are, they will be punished."

Zhao Rui, hearing this, her face hardened, and she said: "Sister is right."

As they were speaking, the palace maid went back and forth several times, informing them that the Empress had agreed to see them. She then led the two women into Fengxi Palace.

In the main hall of Phoenix Happiness Palace, Zhao Qinglan sat upright and solemnly at the top.

Today is the first day of each month. According to the palace rules, if the Empress Dowager were still alive, all the court ladies, including the emperor and the crown prince, would have to pay their respects to her.

The late Empress Dowager's passing left a void in the palace for over ten years. Technically, she, the empress, holds the highest authority.

Therefore, all the concubines in the harem would come to her to pay their respects.

She just didn't like these, most of the time it was just going through the motions, but today was a little different.

Su Jinpa and Zhao Rui represented the East Palace family in coming, she was someone that had to be received no matter what.

Led by a palace maid, Su Jinpa and Zhao Rui entered the main hall together and came before Zhao Qinglan. The two knelt down and bowed, saying: "We pay our respects to Your Majesty the Empress, we wish you well, and pray for your continued health, happiness, and prosperity."

"This concubine has seen the Empress, and pays her respects."

Zhao Rui followed Su Jinpa behind, going through the motions. Her status only allowed her to greet the Empress and not deliver a congratulatory speech; that was the privilege of the Crown Princess.

Zhao Qinglan nodded and raised her hand, saying, "All of you, please be seated."

After they sat down one after the other, Zhao Qinglan turned to Su Jinpa and said, "As a newlywed princess consort, are you comfortable in the East Palace If there's anything uncomfortable, just tell this palace."

This is purely polite.

Su Jinpa also cooperated and said, “Your Highness is very kind to me, and I am quite accustomed to living in the East Palace. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern.”

Zhaochenglan nodded, glanced at Zhao Rui, and said faintly: "The Crown Princess looks much better after some time. It seems she is very content."

The relationship between Zhao Ruier and Zhao Qinglan is, to put it mildly, awkward.

Zhao Rui heard the meaning in Zhao Qinglan's words and replied, "This concubine has no other thoughts but to serve Your Highness well. Of course, she is at ease. This concubine sees that Your Majesty's complexion is much better than before, so it must be so."

I betrayed you, but now don't you do the same, betraying your father

The undercurrent of this statement left Zhao Qinglan's face impassive, but a subtle ripple stirred within her heart.

"Your Majesty."

At this moment, Su Jinping raised her head and looked at Zhao Qinglan. Her stunningly beautiful face had no excessive expressions, even revealing a hint of sincerity and purity. She said seriously, "This concubine just received the message sent by Your Highness this morning. After reading it, I came immediately."

"Oh" Zhao Qinglan said lightly, "Your Highness is out and about, everything alright"

If things were well, I wouldn't have come on this trip.

Su Jin said calmly, “The letter says that the prince was just attacked.”Chapter 983: The Grand Wedding Day of the East Palace
