Disgust?
None!
Speaking of it, there was no direct grudge between her and Wang Shijiu.
The reason they were discussed together was simply because of a worthless dog man.
Envy?!
That, perhaps, there has been!
Empress Tao didn't want to admit it, but when she saw Wang Shijiu, dressed in official robes, exuding confidence and pride from her bones, she felt very envious.
Just now, Empress Dowager He's words echoed in her ears again.
"At the age of fifteen or sixteen, like a budding flower... truly 'fresh clothes and fierce horses'!"
Yes, they were all young ladies once, all once noble ladies full of youth and vigor in the capital!
Now, Wang Shijiu was still young and carefree.
While she, Tao Youwei, was forced to become a resentful woman by the deep palace.
During these days of being grounded, Empress Tao couldn't leave, but she could still hear the happenings outside.
