Upon exiting the north gate of the Imperial Palace and passing through the Western Inner Garden, one would arrive at the Yong'an Palace where the former emperor's consorts resided. Next to Yong'an Palace was the Forbidden Garden.
In the mild March spring, the scenery was charming.
The esteemed Empress was tremblingly stopped by a few Imperial Guards at the entrance of the Forbidden Garden.
"His, His Majesty said that the Empress... is not, is not allowed to enter!" The guards braced themselves to finish their statement.
Is this something that should be done to someone?
They themselves dared not offend the Empress, yet they pushed these small soldiers to offend her?
"Did His Majesty really say that?" Tang Xuabai was both amused and infuriated.
With a smile from her, the guards at the gate trembled even more: "Really! His Majesty instructed personally! This humble servant dare not lie!"
Tang Xiaobai chuckled: "Forget it." She turned her horse and left.
