Some things may seem insignificant, but they actually concern one's identity, status, and power.
In the past, the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng was unequivocal in the harem, and no one dared to defy her. Now that Jiang Shaohua has ascended to the throne, it's not necessary to mention the court; even in the palace, the Grand Empress Dowager Zheng must make some concessions.
Jiang Shaohua, being affable, smiled and agreed: "Very well, I'll have someone invite him over right away."
Upon Jiang Shaohua's command, one of the Imperial Guards behind her left to deliver the message. In less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, Elder Changning, Cui Du, entered the hall.
That was really fast!
From Jingyang Palace to Zhaohai Palace, sending a message back and forth should take at least the time it takes an incense stick to burn!
"Elder Changning accompanied me to Jingyang Palace and has been waiting outside the palace ever since." Jiang Shaohua smiled, explaining to everyone.
