Song Yunzhao was all too familiar with the Empress Dowager's brand of cold shoulder. Mrs. Cai had loved to play these games, so she was completely immune.
This tactic was a common way for high-ranking concubines to psychologically suppress those of lower rank. The Empress Dowager's familiarity with it suggested she had been on the receiving end of such treatment often during the late Emperor's reign.
Only those who have experienced it firsthand can truly understand.
Song Yunzhao sat perfectly straight. Her makeup today had a cunning touch to it: the shadow at the corners of her eyes was deepened, the lines around her eyes were slightly heavier, the arches of her brows were subtly raised, and the tails were slightly elongated. Her entire aura was different from before.
It was what you might call a "dark transformation" makeup style.
This was just the basic version, of course, not the "Plus" edition.
