Ninth Miss is named Wuya Qichun. That's quite a nice name.
After Ninth Miss moved into Shoukang Palace, the Empress Dowager naturally had to find a reason to summon Fourth Master over.
However, apart from that day when they dined together, Fourth Master refused to come again.
In a melon field, under a plum tree, he was reluctant to become involved in any entanglements.
It would not be good for the Empress Dowager to feign illness, as that would be too undignified. So, after two occasions, she stopped calling Fourth Master over.
Instead, she summoned the Empress several times, with clear implications.
In the coming draft for the selection of concubines, the Empress Dowager might not be involved, but the Empress would have to take charge. By that time, it couldn't be allowed for a hiccup to occur on the Empress's end.
If the Empress was willing to keep her, the Emperor would have to give face.
The Empress truly felt furious inside.
