“Noble Consort Qiao, this…
Grand Consort Yu still wanted to say something, but Noble Consort Qiao waved her hand and interrupted her.
“You don’t have to say this in front of me. Nuo’er isn’t a mischievous and unreasonable child. She has her reasons for not allowing the tree to be cut down.”
“Commandery Princess Rouqing isn’t in good health and wants to bask in the sun, but she can’t get too much sun either. In my opinion, how is this a human?
This is a fragile piece of jade that can’t be dropped.”
“If that’s the case, why is she still going to school? We can just invite a teacher to teach her at home. Otherwise, she’ll just cause trouble for others by going to school.”
As Noble Consort Qiao spoke, she sneered.
“Today, she can cut down a tree for the sake of basking in the sun. Tomorrow, would she say that the place she is staying in isn’t comfortable? If she were to take a liking to my Qiushui Palace, would I have to vacate the place for her
Grand Consort Yu’s expression changed. “How can that be?!”
Her clothes were wet with tears. “Noble Consort, I’m already so old and don’t have much time left, thus I returned to the capital. Can’t you ask the little princess to retract her order on my account?”
Noble Consort Qiao raised her eyebrows and said with an oppressive aura, “Oh my, Grand Consort, it’s not that I don’t want to give you face, but while you treasure your Commandery Princess Rouqing, I naturally dote on my child too!”
“Nuo’er usually has her way in the Qiushui Palace as well. Even if His Majesty comes, it’s still the same. Why should I care about this small matter? Moreover, what do you mean by giving you face? The Grand Consort is muddle-headed. Since I don’t recognize you, there are no feelings between us and thus there’s no reason for me to give you face!”
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er finally finished the sweet red bean pastry.
The child licked her delicate lips in satisfaction.
Grand Consort Yu saw that Noble Consort Qiao was really stubborn and didn’t take her seriously at all.
Helpless, she started crying.
Her crying voice became louder and louder as if she was planning to use this unreasonable method to force Noble Consort Qiao to agree. Noble Consort Qiao pressed her thin red fingertips on her glabella.
This old lady was really noisy!
Noble Consort Qiao’s expression was as cold as ice, and her voice was also cold.
“Grand Consort Yu, if you plan on crying until I give in, you have miscalculated.
“What I hate the most in my life is people who cry and pretend to be weak. If you don’t believe me, look around the palace. Who would dare to do something like you?
“Previously, there were also people who pretended to be weak and wanted to attract His Majesty’s attention. They died in less than two days. Do you know
Why?,,
Grand Consort Yu’s cries stopped abruptly.
She covered her tears with her sleeve and silently looked up at Noble Consort Qiao from the corner of her eye.
Noble Consort Qiao was sitting there, looking graceful and noble. Her arrogant eyes carried a pressure that could not be underestimated.
“Women are self-reliant, to begin with. Why can’t we shoulder everything ourselves? If you cry too much, it might cause His Majesty trouble too.”
“Alright, you can leave. The Grand Consort should thank your ancestors for their blessings. Fortunately, you were the one who came today. Otherwise, if it were Princess Consort Guang, I would have long disregarded her reputation and gotten someone to whip her until she rolled on the ground.”
Grand Consort Yu still wanted to struggle a little more. “Noble Consort! You…
Noble Consort Qiao waved her hand, indicating for Wanyin and Wanxuan to drag her out.
Noble Consort Qiao even sneered and said, “Grand Consort, don’t use the methods you used on the late emperor to deal with me in the future. I won’t fall for that!”
At this moment, Gu Nuo’er, who had been silent all this while, finally spoke.
“Gu Rao is already so old, so why does the Grand Consort have to intercede for her when she was the one who had done something wrong?! Isn’t she ashamed?!”
These words were to refute Grand Consort Yu for saying that Gu Nuo’er still had to be fed when she was so young.
The child was young, smart, and vengeful.
If you offend me, I’ll repay it ten times over! There’s no need to thank me!
