Qing Ning Palace
An old lady in her 60s or 70s, wearing a Golden Phoenix hairpin and exquisite makeup, was lying on the chaise lounge.
She was wearing a black and blue satin Palace robe. The top and skirt were embroidered with phoenixes, and the skirt was embroidered with dazzling sapphires. A black shirt with a hooked collar and a magnificent sleeve embroidered with golden silk thread. The top was embroidered with peonies with silver thread, and there was a string of big pearls around the neck. It looked gorgeous and domineering.
On her right hand knelt a Haggard woman who looked to be in her early thirties.
"Empress Dowager, please help this minister's wife." The woman sobbed.
An old maidservant standing beside the Empress Dowager asked with a dissatisfied expression, "Zhengguo Duke's wife, the Empress Dowager is not in good health. If you have something to say, just say it. Crying will affect the Empress Dowager's mood."
