"Lsp means old pervert..."
Huh? No, that's not Kou'er's voice!
Sang Jiang stopped mid-sentence abruptly.
He turned around and saw a teasing man looking at him with great interest.
Sang Jiang's eyes darted around: "Young master, isn't it ungentlemanly to eavesdrop on other people's conversations?"
Kou'er respectfully curtsied to the man: "Greetings, young master."
Those who could enter and leave the palace were all wealthy and noble. As a maid, Kou'er had to bow to everyone she met.
The man ignored Kou'er and looked at Sang Jiang with interest: "I... I seem to be listening openly, don't I? But doesn't this young lady know how to avoid suspicion when she's talking badly about others?"
No wonder Long Jingyu looked at this woman with new respect; she's quite interesting.
Sang Jiang: ...
Who spoke ill of others?
Sang Jiang ignored him and turned to walk in the opposite direction.
After walking a short distance, I realized that I had unknowingly gotten lost.
"Oh, isn't this the Imperial Concubine? This humble servant greets the Imperial Concubine."
Sang Jiang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a woman giving Sang Ru a very perfunctory bow.
Sang Ruo remained silent and simply stepped aside to make way for her.
As a result, the woman grabbed Sang Ruo, took a hairpin from her hair, looked her over a few times, and then stuck it into her own hair.
"This concubine thanks Your Majesty for the reward."
Sang Ruo's maid, Wan Qing, was immediately enraged. As Sang Ruo's dowry maid, she naturally knew the importance of this hairpin to Sang Ruo.
She blocked the woman's way out, suppressing her anger as she spoke, "Consort Qi, please don't go too far!"
Consort Qi was surprised that Wanqing stopped her. She looked at Wanqing with a mocking expression: "Who do you think you are? Your mistress hasn't even spoken yet, and you dare to block my way?"
Sang Ruo was also furious, her almond-shaped eyes wide as she looked at Consort Qi: "Consort Qi, please give it back to me."
Consort Qi became angry when she saw that her mistress and servants were blocking her way: "Your Highness, you wouldn't be so petty, would you? I only took a fancy to one of Your Highness's hairpins, and Your Highness is blocking me like this."
After saying that, she pushed Wanqing, who was standing next to her, away.
Her father, Minister Qi, had recently helped the Emperor resolve a major problem, so Huang had been frequently visiting her palace lately. In addition, this wasn't the first or second time she had treated Sang Ruo this way.
Therefore, she showed no sign of feeling guilty or afraid.
Perhaps it was because of their blood ties, but looking at Sang Ruo's angry yet silent face and her clear almond-shaped eyes, Sang Jiang felt a sudden pang of sympathy.
Actually, Sang Ruo is rarely mentioned in the novel. It is only mentioned that Sang Ruo helped her many times when she was very young.
I don't know if Sang Ruo really treated her like a younger sister back then, or if she was just trying to gain Sang Jiang's mother's sympathy.
But none of that matters anymore.
Sang Jiang strode around to the front of the artificial hill and blocked Consort Qi's path.
When Sang Ruo saw Sang Jiang, she was initially incredulous, then lowered her head in embarrassment.
Consort Qi looked at Sang Jiang and sneered, "So it's the Fourth Miss. Is the Fourth Miss here to see your eldest sister?"
Sang Jiang ignored her and simply raised her chin: "Give it back to her."
Consort Qi was a little surprised to see her like this, but when she came to her senses, she looked at Sang Jiang with an amused expression: "Fourth Miss, are you telling me some kind of joke?"
Sang Jiang ignored her, took a few steps forward, grabbed Sang Ruo's hand, and pulled her in front of Consort Qi. She then swung her hand directly at Consort Qi.
