Chapter 684 We're all women, you should understand my difficulties.
That evening, Chu Yueli indeed entered the palace to pay her respects to the Empress.
Unexpectedly, Huo Qing was also there.
"Madam Qing has been here with me for the past two days. I know that Madam Qing does not want to come, but I have no choice."
The Empress looked at Chu Yueli with a deep look in her eyes.
"Ah Li, we are both women, you should understand my feelings. There are many things I don't want to do, but I'm powerless to change them."
"So, the Empress also knows why the Emperor insisted on having Third Aunt teach the Fourteenth Prince riding and archery?" Chu Yueli's expression was not good.
The Empress knew that she harbored resentment about this matter.
She didn't know how to explain it, so in the end, she simply stopped trying to explain.
"Don't worry, His Majesty's health... he'll just have to look." She wanted to laugh, but found herself unable to.
Finally, he simply sighed softly, picked up his cup, and slowly sipped his tea.
Chu Yueli, however, felt somewhat relieved after hearing these words.
That's true, then the old emperor can only watch. Although just watching will make Third Aunt uncomfortable, it's still better than anything else.
However, she had some doubts today.
"I see that His Majesty's health has improved recently. Has the imperial physician been changed?" Chu Yueli asked tentatively.
The Empress sighed helplessly: "Ali, do you think I have the right to know about such things?"
"Your Highness, the Eighth Prince requests an audience," the nanny whispered from the side.
"Eighth Prince is here." Upon hearing this, the Empress seemed to be in a better mood and immediately ordered her nanny to summon him in.
Lu Ziling seemed surprised to see Chu Yueli at the Empress's place. After paying his respects to the Empress, he immediately smiled at Chu Yueli and said, "Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law."
Chu Yueli nodded and smiled in return: "Eighth Imperial Brother, it's been quite a while. How have you been lately?"
"It's all good. I was busy in Wucheng before and only came back these past two days. If I hadn't been so busy, I would have gone to the Prince's Mansion to visit my fourth sister-in-law a few days ago."
Lu Ziling was polite, just as he always was.
"Yes, the Eighth Prince has been very busy these days. His father has also arranged many things for him recently."
The Empress looked at Lu Ziling and smiled very happily: "Come and sit down quickly. Granny, have someone bring tea and snacks."
"Yes." The nanny withdrew, and soon returned with others to bring up tea and refreshments.
"It seems that the Eighth Prince is quite favored by Father Emperor recently," Chu Yueli said.
Lu Ziling quickly smiled and said, "It's just some small matter. Compared to the big things that my fourth and fifth brothers do, it seems insignificant."
"What are you saying? Whether it's a big matter or a small matter, as long as it's something your father has assigned you, you must do your best to complete it." The Empress was somewhat displeased upon hearing this.
Lu Ziling was always humble and cautious in front of the Empress.
He quickly nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. I was ignorant and will certainly follow Your Majesty's teachings and do my best in everything."
"Yes." The Empress nodded.
Seeing the Fourteenth Prince talking to Huo Qing in the distance, she became anxious and left Chu Yueli and Lu Ziling behind to go and see what was going on.
After she had walked away, Lu Ziling smiled at Chu Yueli and asked, "Fourth Sister-in-law, have you received any letters from Fourth Brother recently? Is Fourth Brother doing well in Nanmeng?"
"Nanmeng is thousands of miles away, and I don't know how Beimo is settling down there."
Chu Yueli stared at the clear lines of his face, her gaze slightly darkening, lost in thought.
Lu Ziling was somewhat surprised: "Does Fourth Sister-in-law have something to say to me?"
