"The Empress speaks wisely," Ye Zao said indifferently. "Should His Majesty take this servant out again in the future, this servant will definitely seek permission from the Empress Dowager and the Empress first."
The Empress was taken aback, and the Empress Dowager smacked the table, "Outrageous! How dare you, a mere Noble Lady, disregard me so!"
Seek her permission? Could she really govern that?
Ye Zao only said, "This servant dares not," and then remained silent.
The Empress Dowager, looking at Noble Lady Ming kneeling below, felt a surge of anger.
Considering how to punish her, with such a big belly, to make her kneel was inappropriate.
Beating her with boards wouldn't do either, copying scriptures then.
