Upon hearing this voice, everyone turned around in surprise.

Ji Fengyao wore a flowing, light pink silk dress with wide sleeves, her long, dark hair cascading down her back, with only a few strands gathered at her ears and held atop her head with a plum blossom gold hairpin. A delicate gold ruby ​​ornament still adorned her forehead, and her large, innocent eyes blinked curiously at the crowd, making her appear refreshingly charming, innocent, and adorable.

Chanyu Heye covered his lips with relief and took two steps back from the crowd to minimize his presence.

Consort Jia was shocked: "You... how did you get here?"

"If I'm not here, then where should I be?" Ji Fengyao helped Lin Shuang in, followed by Xi Que, whose face was extremely pale. She walked up to Consort Jia and Consort Yin, her face innocent and naive: "Isn't this the resting place that Your Highness prepared for me? Why is everyone here? Has something happened?"

"Impossible, you changed your clothes..." Consort Jia exclaimed in a fit of rage, only to be gently pulled back by Rongju and brought back to her senses. She then corrected herself, saying, "Sister, I remember you weren't wearing this when you entered the palace. You didn't change your clothes in the room arranged by the Noble Consort, so where did you change into this outfit?"

Ji Fengyao's face turned cold as she looked at Consort Jia and said icily, "Consort Jia, have you forgotten that I am the principal wife? You, a mere concubine, have no right to interfere with me. Whether I change clothes in my room or in the carriage, I do not need to report to you! Being brain-dead is a disease that needs treatment. Stop being so shameless and disrespectful all day long!"

"Sister..." Consort Jia feigned grievance, but inwardly she was seething with hatred, gripping Rongju's hand tightly.

Rongju felt like Jiafei was about to crush her wrist, but she dared not make a sound.

"If you don't know the rules, then speak less and don't annoy me." Ji Fengyao waved her hand arrogantly and domineeringly, gesturing for Consort Jia to step aside as if shooing away a fly. She also muttered impatiently, "I don't know how the Li Kingdom teaches its princesses. All day long, they either indulge their servants and bully their masters, or they commit insubordination."

Consort Jia was a princess of a defeated kingdom, and was not well-liked to begin with. Most of the people present were wives, and it was inevitable that they all had a few concubines who caused them distress. Hearing Ji Fengyao's words resonated with them, and their gazes towards Consort Jia became even more hostile.

break!

Consort Jia's handkerchief, which she was clutching in her left hand, was clearly pierced with a hole, but she could only suppress her anger and follow Ji Fengyao's instructions to step back and stand aside, not daring to say another word.

Otherwise, she would incur the wrath of these noblewomen, and she would no longer be able to live in Kyoto.

After scolding Consort Jia, Ji Fengyao gracefully walked to a distance of five or six steps from Consort Yin, her face regaining its innocent and naive expression. She asked with a grin, "Your Highness, did you arrange some other wonderful program here? Everyone is here, how come no one informed me? I almost missed it."

Consort Yin: "..."

The concubines and officials below: "..."

Anyone who dares to admit that they arranged this is out of their mind.

Most people wouldn't ask this kind of question so bluntly, and they certainly wouldn't answer it directly.

But Ji Fengyao was no ordinary person; she was a reckless and ignorant bandit. Since she had asked so bluntly, Consort Yin had no choice but to follow local custom and give an unusual answer: "This matter was not arranged by me; I only just learned about it myself."

"Huh? What's wrong?" Ji Fengyao became even more curious.
