Jiang Shaohua returned to Jingyang Palace, still needing to deal with the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng.
The harem was the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng's domain, nothing could escape her notice. Who Jiang Shaohua met with in the afternoon and what was discussed were all known to the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng. Yet, she still had to wait for Jiang Shaohua to return to the palace and ask her again.
Jiang Shaohua pretended not to know and elaborated meticulously. When it came to Empress Dowager Li pleading for Minister Li and Emperor Taihe's soft-heartedness, the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng coldly snorted: "Minister Li has a filial daughter and a considerate grandson. The Ministry of Rites draws salaries every day but does nothing."
How sharp-tongued these words were. Although the Ministry of Rites is leisurely, it's not to the extent of doing nothing.
