Xia Ruqing smiled triumphantly.
"Indeed, who do you think your master is?!"
After saying this, without waiting for their responses, Xia Ruqing took the paper.
"Alright, stop looking!"
"I still need to submit a memorial to the Emperor!" She said as she entered the inner chamber.
That night, the Empress's memorial was presented before Zhao Junyao.
Zhao Junyao reached out, opened it, and skimmed through it, with a smile curving on his lips.
"Not bad!" He raised his hand, tucked the memorial into his sleeve, stood up, donned his robe, and headed to Duanning Palace.
…
Two days later.
It was just the day after the Little New Year.
The Emperor personally issued an imperial decree, promoting the positions of those in the harem.
Of course, besides the decree, lavish rewards were bestowed upon each palace.
The women received the imperial decree and rewards, each one tearfully moved.
Although some were promoted two ranks, some three ranks, and some just one rank.
