Chen Sheren was ordered to Jingyang Palace to deliver a message.
Grand Empress Dowager Zheng had been intermittently ill for several months, constantly recuperating. Recently, her health had improved considerably, and she was reviewing the accounts sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Upon hearing that the Emperor was coming to visit, she sneered and said to Mr. Zhao, "The Emperor is coming to take advantage of the mourning family."
The Yellow River was flooded, and six counties had suffered from the disaster. Recently, the court had been overwhelmed with disaster relief work, leaving Jiang Shaohua with no time to visit the back palace. Suddenly, he wanted to visit Jingyang Palace today to 'check on the illness'. How could there be no reason behind it?
It must be said that Grand Empress Dowager Zheng understood Jiang Shaohua quite well.
