apology.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she lowered her head, her spine remained straight, exhibiting an indomitable spirit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Empress Dowager Zhen heard that Zhaochen Palace needed to be informed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her arrogance immediately diminished by half.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart grew timid, and she dared not make more demands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But her words remained stubborn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t let Consort Hui rise, grousing as she angrily left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Hui waited until Empress Dowager Zhen’s figure was out of sight, then slowly stood up, a slight hint of mockery at the corner of her mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Hmph!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Failing to intimidate me, now she’s off to trouble someone

eyebrows disdainfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s all this about?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An Imperial Noble Consort not living quietly, always plotting trouble.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If she dares, let her trouble Zhaochen Palace!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Tan quickly pulled her aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Say less, what has the Consort taught us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiang Lin lowered her head, daring not speak further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consort Hui reclined on the low couch and sipped fragrant tea, choosing to say nothing more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For now, the matter was brushed aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the following half a month, from the beginning of July until the Ghost

even Xia Ruqing found it unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Emperor is incredibly busy these days, is she seeking death?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su was smug.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Empress, if some people seek their own doom, just let them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, it should help quiet things down a bit!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Xia Ruyi sided with Empress Dowager Zhen and Hai Feng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Su, this maid, became ’hatred of evil’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whenever she got the chance, she wished to kick them while they were down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Empress Dowager Zhen seek her own demise, she was gloating more than ever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing didn’t bother with her, but she did feel somewhat sorry for Zhao Junyao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Recently, there’s been flooding in the Jiangnan region, and many people have been adversely affected!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s busy devising ways to have the Ministry of Revenue provide disaster relief!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At this time, Empress Dowager Zhen fusses for an extravagant wedding for her youngest son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not just the Emperor; even I’m angry upon hearing this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go instruct the kitchen to make a silver ear lotus seed soup for the Emperor to cool him down tonight!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zi Yue quickly ushered Zi Su out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning, there were only the mistress and maid left in the inner chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing felt somewhat irritated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a book in hand, she flipped through it repeatedly, unable to concentrate, and finally tossed it aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s go and check on Yue Er!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the Shen Hour in the afternoon when Yue Er awoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The little girl, still groggy from sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once her face was washed and clothes properly worn, she was completely awake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her mother beside her, she smiled and extended both arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her little voice adorably called.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where’s Yellow Bean?

It’s autumn now, and it starts shedding!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yue Er didn’t understand what shedding was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yellow Bean was just Yellow Bean, unrelated to autumn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without thinking, the little girl continued to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mother!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I want Yellow Bean!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying so, her little body began to wriggle in her embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing felt somewhat helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She put her down with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, go then!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But if you get covered in dog hair, don’t blame Mother for not warning you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Little Yue Er didn’t care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once down, she twisted her small body and went next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing watched her proud figure, suddenly feeling the sentiment of ’a girl can’t be kept.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She startled herself with the thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yue Er is just over a year old; how could there be any \"can’t be kept?\"’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Enough, let’s not overthink!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Resolving so, she went inside to change clothes and went out to play with Yue Er.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By evening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Ruqing was fetching Yue Er to the inner chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Junyao arrived as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment he walked in, a chill emanated from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Except for little Yue Er, everyone else in the room shivered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone immediately became attentive to serve him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Yue Er wasn’t entirely oblivious.\u003C\u002Fp>",1287,"2026-05-30T07:41:33.085Z","2026-06-01T04:30:40.316Z",1,"novelbin.me","f72cdee2da9c395039e94130e342c7b21995167452e1f6e5c59dbcc73b6cd9ae","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1153","a-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-chapter-1152",1204,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-foodie-transmigrated-into-the-palace-cover.jpg"]
