Chapter 846 Harmonious Meeting

Lady Shu was about to explain, but Empress Hua didn't seem to give her the chance. She just smiled faintly and said, "Maybe Lady Shu has forgotten about it. It doesn't matter. After all, she is so busy dealing with the imperial household affairs. I'm free today. If Lady Shu has time, please send the seal of the Empress here within today."

Lady Shu's face darkened. She didn't say anything for a while. Xia Huanyu frowned and said coldly, "No need to wait. I think she is leisurely now. Go to Shuya Palace to fetch the seal right now."

As soon as Xia Huanyu finished speaking, Lady Shu's face turned paler. Finally, she gritted her teeth and bowed to Xia Huanyu. "Yes, Your Majesty." Then she walked out slowly.

Before the competition between Lady Shu and the new Empress, which the ladies had been looking forward to for a long time, began, Lady Shu had already lost completely. It was not because that her skills were inferior to that of the other, but that Xia Huanyu was being partial.

After walking out of Weiyang Palace, Lady Shu kicked the corner of the wall and closed her eyes. It took her a long time to calm down. She walked to the carriage and said softly, "Let's go back to the Shuya Palace."

Lyu Ya, who followed Lady Shu, helped Lady Shu get on the carriage and said in a low voice, "Empress Hua is too arrogant. She thinks the imperial household is under her control just because His Majesty is on her side now. She starts to find fault with Your Highness without even knowing what's going on in the Palace. She is really over-confident."

Lady Shu sneered with a bit of tiredness in her eyes, "She is not overconfident. She is deliberately targeting me. Except her, I have the highest rank in His Majesty's harem, and I have been taking in charge of the imperial household affairs for a long time. She is a smart person, and she knows that as long as I have to show respect to her, she will have a foothold in this imperial household. You'll see, from today on, many concubines will definitely join her camp. She is now the apple of his Majesty's eye, but I am just a nominal consort."

Hearing what Lady Shu said, Lyu Ya lowered her head and said with a gloomy face, "Your Highness have experienced all ups and downs in the imperial household for so many years. How could Your Highness just let her do whatever she wants..."

Lady Shu sneered. After a while, she said, "I've experienced all ups and downs. You are quite right. I've been in the Palace for twenty years. I had to pretend as a maid to serve others and I was being locked in the Cold Palace for so long. I suffered a lot and finally gained my current status. I'm not the kind of person who just waits passively for the end. If she wants the Empress's seal, I'll give it to her. It's not a big deal. I'll see whether or not she is able to hold it.

Lady Shu went back to the Shuya Palace without any delay. She took the Empress's seal and rushed to Weiyang Palace in a carriage.

When she returned to the Weiyang Palace, Xia Huanyu was no longer there. The scene in

nd said softly, "Your Majesty resembles the Crown Princess in character. Although the Crown Princess grew up in the Palace, she is also very tired of the plots in the Palace. I think the Crown Prince also likes to go to the battlefield more than stay in this city."

Empress Hua laughed with her, but her smile was much lighter. "Although your two masters may not like this kind of life, they are born to live in the Palace. And even if they didn't like it, they had no choice now. With his current identity and means, the crown prince would ascend the throne sooner or later. After the Crown Prince ascends the throne, Princess Hui Guo will become the Empress of the State of Xia. The Emperor and the Empress are destined to be locked in the Palace for the rest of their lives."

Qian Zhuo bit her lips and said softly, "Fortunately, the Crown Prince said that he would only marry the Crown Princess in his life. If the Crown Prince only marries the Crown Princess, I think the two of them will be very happy no matter where they are."

Hearing this, the smile on Empress Hua's face gradually disappeared. "I hope so."

After Qian Zhuo rubbed her shoulders for a while, Empress Hua asked her to stop. When Empress Hua walked to the bookshelf and wanted to take a book to read, she saw the seal on the bookshelf.

With a smile, Empress Hua picked up the seal, turned around and said, "This is what everyone in the imperial household wants. How could you put it randomly?"

Hearing this, Qian Zhuo walked to the side of Empress Hua and said softly, "I don't know where to put it. I've searched for a long time, but I haven't found a hidden place."

Empress Hua turned over the seal and said with a smile, "At least you could find a box to put it in. There should've been a box for it." When her gaze fell on the seal, she suddenly paused.

Qian Zhuo hurried to find a box made of rosewood from the dresser. As soon as she walked in front of Empress Hua, she heard Empress Hua say in a trance, "The Empress's seal is a fake one."
