The day after Wei Shang's memorial arrived, after the court meeting, Emperor Jing summoned Prime Minister Zhou Yafu, General Dou Ying and other important officials to the Xuanshi Hall. The palace door was closed for nearly two hours, during which time only the eunuchs served hot soup and steamed buns, and no one else was allowed to disturb them, even the Princess of Guantao was blocked outside the door.
When the palace door opened, everyone in the palace saw a rare sight: Prime Minister Zhou Yafu and Imperial Censor Liu She, who were rumored to be at odds with each other, walked out one after the other, both with smiles on their faces, without any trace of discord. General Dou Ying even changed his usual seriousness and laughed and chatted with Liu She.
The palace maids and eunuchs did not mention it, and the guards in front of the palace all looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what the wind was blowing today.
Princess Guantao did not meet Emperor Jing and went to Changle Palace instead. She was sent away by Empress Dowager Dou after a short while.
Ever since she disagreed with the Empress Dowager on Chen Jiao's marriage, Liu Piao rarely saw Empress Dowager Dou's smiling face. She was depressed and angry, but had no way to vent her anger.
