Ms. Doctor Divine

Chapter 710 - She In The Weiyang Palace

He looked at Zhou Huaijin with interest, then he left after giving him a smile.

Zhou Huaiyu, who had been drinking the wine by himself, could not help, but look at Zhou Huaijin at the sight of what happened.

Zhou Huailing ignored them directly, but continued to act politely with other people.

The imperial banquet came to an end under this seemingly-bustling atmosphere.

Although the Queen was absent, for most of the guests, there was no difference. However, for the King who kept drinking the wine himself, things did not feel right. Something was missing. He did not seem to show any interest in the imperial banquet either.

The King got up directly the moment the banquet came to an end. Then the other guests left at the sight of what the King did.

The King and Honored Princess Jing started to head towards their chambers, and Zhou Huailing was left to deal with the remaining guests.

Honored Princess Jing had been keeping the King company all this time, and normally, the King would visit the Queen after the banquet was finished, but the Queen failed to show up, and Honored Princess Jing took her place. So Honored Princess Jing thought that normally, the King should visit her chamber instead.

During the past few weeks, she had noticed that Lord Ling had been favored and she had got promoted in title, but Honored Princess Jing was aware that the King had always been spending the night at the Qianqing Palace rather than at her chambers. Honored Princess Jing felt that she was not given enough attention.

Today should have been a great opportunity, so Honored Princess Jing was in a good mood.

The King noticed that Honored Princess Jing had been walking by his side after walking for a while in the court.

He frowned with displeasure. "What are you following me for? Have you arranged the ladies at the banquet? You are in charge of the princesses now, you don't even know what to do!

"Just go back to your own palace after you get everything settled. Normally, I should visit the Weiyang Palace after the banquet. Also, the Queen is sick so I should go and see her too," the King said with a strong tone. He did have the excuse of visiting the Queen now.

Honored Princess Jing had a terrible look on her face.

He was visiting the Weiyang Palace whilst she was going to take care of the affairs? What did this mean! Didn't he say that he hated the woman in the Weiyang Palace?!

Honored Princess Jing was angry, but she did not dare to blame the King for anything. Instead, she just stood on the same spot with an angry, pale-looking face, seeing the King disappearing further into the distance.

She did not take care of the ladies, but visited Cining Palace instead.

The Empress Dowager had just returned to Cining Palace. She had become old so the banquet had tired her out.

She frowned at the sight of Honored Princess Jing. "What are you doing here instead of keeping the King company?"

Hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Honored Princess Jing became even more distressed.

She sat down in the chair and said, "I wanted to, but I am not lucky enough. The King went to the Weiyang Palace! He says that he is following the rules of the imperial banquet!"

Hearing these words… the Empress Dowager sat straight too.

She had a complicated look on her face.

When facing Honored Princess Jing, she said, "It is a rule the King has been following for more than two decades, he will be able to change it gradually. I will speak with him, you can leave now."

She was consoling Honored Princess Jing, but she was not very happy either.
