Consort Zhang slightly lifted her head, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.
She herself carried a strong scholarly aura, making one perceive her as a well-educated and cultured person. Moreover, the Empress had already regretted making Lin Qianqing the main consort instead of favoring the daughter from the Zhang Family. Therefore, when Consort Zhang spoke of this matter, the expression on the Empress's face noticeably improved.
The Empress said lightly, "Since the main consort is ill, she should rest well. From now on, the affairs of the residence will be handled by Consort Zhang."
The words of the Empress left all the women in the room extremely surprised. Wasn't the Empress always known for her adherence to protocol? She was just speaking of rules moments ago, so why has she suddenly assigned such authority to Consort Zhang?
Not distinguishing between legitimate and illegitimate, unclear on seniority and precedence, what kind of rule is this?
