Empress Dugu just didn't get it. Every time she was here, she was busy serving the empress dowager tea or giving her a shoulder massage. She worked as hard as a chambermaid, but what did her mother-in-law say? She called her "dumb"!
On the other hand, all Jun Linyuan and Lady Northern Feng had to do was sit around and the empress dowager was over the moonโฆ Could the old lady be any more biased?
Feeling so aggrieved, Empress Dugu tugged at the emperor's sleeve and looked at him with teary eyes.
Emperor Wu took the hint right away. He patted his wife on the shoulder. "There, there. You'll get used to it."
Empress Dugu was baffled!
After everything she had been put through, he told her to "get used to it"?! Was that how he comforted people? What was wrong with this family?!
The empress dowager never thought much of Empress Dugu and the old lady completely ignored the empress's reaction.
Although, she was happy to see her son, the emperor.
