"Why?" Long Jingchen raised an eyebrow at her. "Isn't this kind of thing usually decided by the Empress?"
Consort Qi looked at him and pouted, feeling wronged: "Her Majesty the Empress said that only His Majesty can decide on this matter."
Long Jingchen raised an eyebrow, signaling her to continue.
Consort Qi took two steps forward, squatted down in front of him, and looked up at him: "As the head of a palace, I can't even manage the people in my own palace. I feel that I may not be suitable to sit in this position. Perhaps I should abdicate and give way to a more worthy person..."
As she spoke, she began to sob and wipe away her tears, while reaching out to grab Long Jingchen with one hand.
Sang Jiang saw this scene as soon as she entered Chengshun Palace. She raised her phoenix eyes slightly and slowly walked over and sat down.
Long Jingchen panicked upon seeing her. He instinctively dodged Consort Qi's hand and sternly shouted at her, "Get out of my way! Who gave you permission to be so close to me!"
As he spoke, he immediately glanced at the eunuch at the door. Upon meeting his murderous gaze, the eunuch's legs went weak and he knelt on the ground.
Sang Jiang picked up the kettle next to her and poured herself a glass of water. While drinking the water, she looked at the two people at the head of the table with a blank expression.
When she saw Consort Qi's clothes, she subconsciously glanced at them directly.
Well, luckily I'm prettier than her.
Long Jingchen looked at her, stood up and walked towards her: "Wife, what brings you here?"
By the time he reached Sang Jiang's side, all his sharp edges had disappeared.
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "It's okay, you can continue while I wait in line."
Consort Qi turned around and saw Sang Jiang, who was wearing a peach-pink dress just like her, sitting there. Today, Sang Jiang wasn't wearing gold jewelry, but rather a set of pearl jewelry, which made her look even more fair and rosy.
Consort Qi glanced at herself again and silently clenched her fingers.
This Sang Jiang must have done it on purpose. She didn't come earlier or later, but she came right away, and she even deliberately wore the same clothes as her.
She watched as Sang Jiang rose and walked to her side, reluctantly curtsying: "Your Majesty, I greet you, Imperial Noble Consort."
Sang Jiang raised an eyebrow: "It's alright, get up. Let's continue. If it doesn't work, I'll go back first, and I'll come back after you've finished."
Consort Qi's eyes lit up instantly. She looked up at Long Jingchen, whose eyes were full of Sang Jiang, and pouted in dissatisfaction, calling out, "Your Majesty."
Long Jingchen didn't even glance at her before waving his hand at her: "Alright, you can go back now. Just tell the Empress that I said she can handle this matter as she sees fit."
Consort Qi's expression changed immediately upon hearing his words. She tugged at Long Jingchen's sleeve unwillingly, "But Your Majesty, you haven't visited me in so long."
"I understand." Long Jingchen was only thinking about teasing Sang Jiang at the moment, so he found Consort Qi to be an eyesore no matter how he looked at her.
Consort Qi was still unwilling to give up. She pouted and walked directly between Long Jingchen and Sang Jiang, looking at Long Jingchen: "Your Majesty! I was clearly here first!"
Long Jingchen's face immediately turned cold upon seeing her. He took a few steps back and sat down at his desk: "You want my help, is that it?"
Seeing that Long Jingchen was finally looking at her, Consort Qi quickly stepped forward and said with a smile, "No, Your Majesty, there's no need to favor me. I just want Your Majesty to help me get justice."
Long Jingchen looked at him with a cold face and nodded: "Alright, I will definitely handle this impartially. Yang Qi, draft the decree."
