There is a saying that experience is gained in battle.
For the Fourth Master and The Empress Dowager, it's undoubtedly applicable.
Just like just now, the Fourth Master merely pushed a plate and solved the issue.
The Empress Dowager would not mention Eighth Prince again, nor would anyone dare speak of Eighth Prince anymore.
But if you think about it, was His Majesty angry? No, the Fourth Master would not admit to it.
Then, after sitting back down, The Empress Dowager realized.
The Noble Consort cannot be spoken of, nor can what the Noble Consort gave birth to be mentioned. Nothing, good or bad, can be said.
Then it's just the other women in the imperial harem; whatever they do behind the scenes can't be helped, no one sees it.
But on the surface, no one is more formidable than The Empress Dowager. Speaking ill of Noble Consort? No, they're afraid of death.
