Chapter 868 Zhou Huailing’s Inquiry
“It is just that the King has never spent the night at my place during the past month, and I truly have no idea what else I can do,” Honored Princess Jing said with a look of concern.
Honored Princess Jing was a person who took interests as the priority.
Since she could not get the title as the New Queen, it would not work if she continued to make a fuss and throw her temper either. She would not do anything like that either, fearing that the Empress Dowager and the King would think that she was being unreasonable. Therefore, she decided not to waste any more time upon that.
Honored Princess Jing was planning to get the King to spend the night at her place, and as long as the King loved spending the night at her place, everything else would work out smoothly, and their affection would return gradually. By that time, she would get the title as the Queen before the end of the year.
The Empress Dowager threw a look at Honored Princess Jing. She was very aware of what Honored Princess Jing was thinking inwardly, but she was not going to stop her from making this plan anyway.
It was not a very good thing if the King never visited the princesses. So she decided to do Honored Princess Jing a favor anyway.
She said, “The Ministry of Rites has started to arrange new girls for the King and I will talk to him about that. You have not obtained the title as the New Queen, but you are holding the authority token, so you are someone who is working with devotion. Although you are not the Queen by title, you are almost like her.”

“You are not only going to get visited by the King when he is supposed to visit the Queen, but will also receive his visits on your own scheduled dates.” The Empress Dowager added.
Only now did Honored Princess Jing say with satisfaction, “Thank you, Aunt.”
The Empress Dowager nodded too, then she added some more words to Honored Princess Jing and asked her to leave.
Honored Princess Jing’s face sank the moment she walked out of Cining Palace. She looked rather displeased.
She had thought that the Empress Dowager was helping her and taking her as the consideration, but it seemed that the Empress Dowager did not attach any importance to her request at all. She had been happy for nothing.
Luckily, she did not celebrate her victory in her palace, or spill the story, otherwise she would have been slapped right on her own face.
Getting the title and not getting the title of the Queen was totally different.
The Empress Dowager was dealing with her as if she were an idiot!
Honored Princess Jing looked really furious.
She was still looking rather displeased the moment she returned to her own palace, but she was no longer that pissed the moment she saw the heir. “Huailing, what are you doing here?”
“I am not cured yet, so I am here to visit an imperial doctor by way of seeing you. Father has given me the authority token for free access, so I can visit you as often as possible now, in case you have other rules for your future palace,” Zhou Huailing said with a flattering look on his face.
He knew how to talk properly, and he decided to make the words sound nice so everyone would be happy.
Honored Princess Jing smiled brightly after she heard his words. She had been demeaned many times throughout her life, but she was most gratified by this filial and capable son of hers.
“Oh yes, I heard that the Empress Dowager helped to get the title of Queen for you, how did it go?” Zhou Huailing asked.
He visited his mother mainly for this matter.
