The Empress Dowager arrived.
Wearing the Nine Phoenix Crown and the Empress Dowager's Court Dress, she entered the grand hall with Eunuch Hai supporting her hand, walking toward Emperor Chu.
All the ministers were shocked; they hastily knelt and kowtowed, crying out, "Long live Your Majesty."
The Empress Dowager Wang strode forward with her head held high and chest straight, her gaze not deviating an inch.
Emperor Chu was also somewhat taken aback. Why has Royal Mother come? This is the early morning court; she has never attended early court before, yet now she descends like the phoenix, and dressed so solemnly.
"Royal Mother, what brings you here?"
"If I, the Empress Dowager, did not come, you towering, stalwart men would be pushing some defenseless, half‑in‑the‑grave old woman out to pray for blessings and rain." The Empress Dowager Wang gave a cold snort, her authority unmistakable.
Emperor Chu felt his face burn.
So, she has come to back up Old Madam Song.
