"The Emperor and the Empress have truly hardened their hearts this time,"
In Changle Palace, the old maid spoke to the person on the southern couch: "Consort Jiang, who has always been proud of her status, will find this hard to bear."
The Empress Dowager was playing with a small pug. The dog, with its small body, short legs, and long fur, looked cute, though it tended to have a crooked mouth. The one kept by the Empress Dowager was, of course, well-bred without a crooked mouth. Her hand, adorned with a jade bracelet, gently patted the dog's back. Upon hearing this, her face showed no sign of compassion: "She has needed a lesson for a long time; she acts without consulting her elders, and when she causes trouble, she seeks my help to plead with the Emperor... how can such things happen? Losing her Concubine status should wake her up."
"If it really doesn't work, she should learn from the Ji Family and have a girl from a collateral branch sent into the palace."
