Chapter 427 - The wife that was with you during your tribulations (2)
The servant girl next to her answered, ”Zhenyuan General recently entered the palace without prior notice, so the emperor doesn't have the free time to see you for now . Once the emperor is free to grant Miss an audience, someone will come to show you the way . Miss, please wait here in Yushu Palace for now . ”
Ji Man nodded and asked another question, “Where's the empress? Can I go pay my respects to Her Majesty?”
The young palace servant girl shook her head . ”The princess consort hasn't been formally been promoted to empress yet . Right now, the emperor's original princess consort is temporarily managing the harem . She's to be referred to as Consort Shen . ”
Ji Man continued, ”Consort Shen and I are old friends . Can I go see her?”
The young palace servant girl shook her head again . ”The emperor has ordered that you're not allowed to see anyone else before he calls you over to see him . No one else can enter Yushu Palace either . ”
He really did a good job with the protection measures . Ji Man inwardly sneered . These men were all the same . They forgot about their wives once they had a new love interest . At the very least, Shen Youqing had been with Zhao Zhe during his periods of glory and splendor as well as during his times of tribulations . It was one thing for him to not immediately promote Shen Youqing to empress once he ascended the throne, but he had made it worse by bringing a strange woman into the palace .
She had only come here to change Nie Sangyu's fate to a happy one . She wasn't interested at all in going from competing in the marquis's estate to competing in the palace .
”Never mind then, I'll just wait . ” Ji Man walked to a bronze mirror to look at herself . She took down the dangling hair accessories as well as two golden hairpins . Her appearance looked much simpler with only one jade hairpin left in her hair .
A short while later, there were sounds from outside . Afterwards, the servant girl led her outside of Yushu Palace and towards Zichen Hall .
When they had walked halfway, someone shouted from behind them, ”Stop!”
Ji Man's heart slightly relaxed . When she turned her head to look, sure enough, Shen Youqing hadn't failed to live up to her expectations . From a distance, she was coming over here with a group of palace servant girls trailing after her . She looked furious .
Shen Youqing clearly recognized her, but she still showed a poker face as she asked the servant girl next to Ji Man, ”Who is this person? Why are you bringing her to the emperor?”
The palace servant girl was trembling as she knelt down and said, ”Your Highness, please forgive me . The emperor ordered for this miss to be brought to him . ”
When Shen Youqing's gaze swept over her face, Ji Man immediately knelt down too . In a choked up voice, she said, ”Consort Shen, please save me!”
