A week After that banquet, his majesty Changed the name of the previous Cold Palace to Winter Cold Palace.
From a palace for his majesty's women to reflect from her mistakes was now given under my name as an advance gift for my Nalat day.
And since then I started greeting Queen Mother early in the morning.
Which is I'm not so fond of, as I already got used waking up a little bit late than usual.
But non the less I comply to her whims as she's still my mother in law , the mother of my jerk husband.
Speaking of witch, I told that jerk to hang out once in a while but he never came.
And found out from Gou Shi that he spends his time with his favorite concubine.
It's not like I like him that I'm upset , but I have some ideas for him to try for my entertainment purpose only , which is really a total bummer
Though Gou Shi frequently hang out in my palace monitoring my health. Since the day I caught that fever,
And it really make up for my loss entertainment. Since both of us can connect through art.
"Your highness, Her grace Nalat day is coming. What would you like me to prepare for that day?" Feng Yun informed me
"Oh? When is that Feng Yun?" I asked unaware of the event
Since I didn't attend her previous birthday celebration, since I am confined in the cold palace plus I caught a fever thanks you her son.
"It'll be two weeks from now, your highness "
'So I only have a week to prepare a present for this old hag's birthday' I thought as I scan my options
I could just pick up something from the street and gave it to her, since everything in this era are pretty much of value in my previous life
But I'll be embarrassing my father and brother if I ever do that... hyst
"I'll think about it later" I said dismissing him from my side as he went back into hiding as Queen mother's two maid servants blocked my way yet again
"Move" I ordered but they didn't budge
"Your highness, her grace is still sleeping please wait here for her to wake up" she said
*SLAP! SLAP!*
Was all I heard from the silent cold morning.
"You..." she started but I cut her off
"What? Who do you think you are? I've been in tolerance of your actions this whole time but I'm sure your full aware that I don't have the patience for your nonsense acts" I said as I glared at them
And to tell you this, they are actually brave enough to make me wait for an hour outside the cold weather since I let them off the first two days, but if this keeps up they won't learn.
"Now step aside" I ordered as I glared at the two servants
"But your highness please don't make trouble for us" the other said
"Silly little girls, whoever is backing you up to play this none sense in front of me at Queen Mother's Cardigan palace, will be decapitated along with your whole clan. As your being rude to Your Empress Consort and not giving Queen Mother some face, for not disciplining her lower servants. Or have you forgotten that I'am at a much higher status than you" I said making my face unapproachable as I glared at them
They instantly kneeled down and ask for forgiveness, but I just ignored them and pass through them heading to Queen Mother's residence.
I also asked Feng Yun to question those girls as I want to know who appointed them to stopped me from going in.
But when I went inside I deeply hid my frown as I saw the his majesty's favorite concubine at the door.
"Concubine Jen Sho is here to pay respect to Queen Mother" she said bowing a little at the door
'Don't tell me she's the one who sabotage me yesterday that I got a whole hour of nagging from that old hag!' I thought eying her as she kept her position
"Empress Consort is here to serve Queen Mother" I said just standing there in my hunting clothes with a white fur coat on.
She looked surprised to see me by her side and annoyed that I didn't even bend down for sincerity.
"You can come in Kim-er, you can pay your respects later Jen-er" the old hag said from the inside
After she said that I slide the door and went in, ignoring concubine Jen's glares
When I saw Queen Mother in her reception area still in her night gown which consist of backless top and old fashioned PJ's and a thin coat on top of it.,
" Greetings Queen Mother" I said as I curtesy then I poured her some tea to drink.
But she didn't drink it and set it aside.
"Come and help me get changed" I just smiled widely as I follow her
'This old hag is really testing my obedience' I thought as I pinch myself to just let her antics go as she is already old
Her maid guided me towards her closet and there I can pick what ever I like to dress her up.
I picked the royal blue one as it looked simple and sophisticated that will suit even though she have already aged.
"Queen Mother I have picked a dress for you, May I put it on you now?" I asked as she just nod.
Not in the mood to go toe to toe with me.
I didn't do her hair since I'm not sure how to fix it up neatly without hair spray or hair gel. So I let her maid servant in charge do the job
Though I'm the one who apply cosmetics on her.
And this is how she looked like after our dress up hassle

"How do you like it Queen Mother?" I asked as she just kept staring at her reflection in her golden mirror
She didn't say a word as she checked herself in the mirror in all angle possible.,
I just smirked as I figured out how to win this Mother in law of mine.
