“Sister Tongjia… I don’t necessarily want to cut this part out, it’s just that it doesn’t conform to the rules… The palace rules only state…” Little Niohuru was not angry at all. Instead, she pointed to the booklet and pointed out each place she had deleted, and then explained which part of the palace rules did not conform to the rules.
Her reasoning was so sound that it was impossible to refute her, and even some of the lesser Tongjia women themselves were unsure.
But despite her calm and composure, Xiao Tongjia felt that the person in front of her looked just as repulsive as that lecturing Momo!
She talks so nicely, but what she's doing is just afraid of being overshadowed! Ha, to prevent others from stealing her thunder, she's not allowed to do anything at all. What exactly is she doing at this banquet?
These words made her face grow increasingly grim. She had wanted to take on this matter and hold the banquet to show off, but if in the end she couldn't show off and instead had to put herself in a very low position and serve those ladies, how could she be willing to do so?
She entered the palace to compete for wealth and status, not to serve these women.
This was completely contrary to her original intention, so she was still unwilling to give up.
After trying to persuade her several times, but to no avail, Lady Niohuru grew somewhat angry.
Xiao Tongjia was not angry, nor did she break off relations with the person in front of her. She simply insisted that these things could not be deleted and had to be kept!
Her tough attitude displeased Lady Niohuru.
She brought herself into this mess from the very beginning, dragging herself into this quagmire.
If it weren't for this, she would probably still be in her palace at this time, happily eating snacks, and wouldn't care about these trivial matters!
She wanted to die, and no one stopped her, but taking others with her was unacceptable!
Why should she have to implicate herself with her actions? If the Emperor punishes them, he certainly won't just target her; he'll make both of them targets!
Even though she was angry, she didn't complain at the time. Instead, she did her job well!
As a result, she had some complaints. She knew that the girl wanted to show off, but she couldn't just ignore everything!
How did Tongjia manage to raise her to be so brainless?
In fact, Xiao Tongjia was strong-willed from a young age, unlike her older sister. Previously, Tongjia's personality was somewhat awkward because the nanny around her was too domineering, and she suffered a lot after entering the palace.
Having learned from this lesson, the nanny chosen to accompany Xiao Tongjia was someone with a gentler personality. However, gentleness doesn't necessarily mean goodness, especially when dealing with such a strong-willed person.
Originally, they thought marrying her into a prominent family would be enough, and with the influence of the Tongjia clan, they never expected that she would be selected to enter the palace. At this point, even if she was not enough, there was nothing they could do.
However, she was adamant in her stance, making it difficult to replace her with a different one at this point.
“Sister Niohuru…these arrangements made by your younger sister are what His Majesty is willing to see. I think it would be such a pity to abolish them later. I also promised His Majesty that I would perform well at the banquet…and I will definitely not steal your thunder!” Xiao Tongjia said with a smile, carefully observing Xiao Niohuru’s expression.
What she meant was that if these things couldn't be implemented and had to be scrapped, it meant she wasn't given a chance to shine, and they were afraid she would steal the spotlight!
The threatening tone in her voice made people feel very uncomfortable.
The anger in Little Niohuru's heart suddenly flared up.
I've talked to her so much and wasted so much breath, but she's still stubborn. She just thinks that I'm not letting her arrange things this way because she's worried that she'll steal the spotlight. How can she be so petty?
Moreover, even though I had done so much and pleaded with Consort Yi, she was still threatening me!
Palace rules! Palace rules are more important than anything else. This isn't a street where you can do whatever you want! Nor is it the residence of Lord Tongjia, where she can act as she pleases!
All those things she kept saying were just her way of threatening the Emperor, thinking that her actions would anger him, and that she herself would not be threatened by anyone.
"Sister Tongjia, are these arrangements of yours in accordance with the rules? If you really don't believe it, you can go and talk to the Empress Dowager."
"Your Majesty is wise and mighty, and I believe he will not allow such a rule-breaking thing to exist in the palace, so he will not be truly happy! Besides, time is of the essence now. Before I came, I had already given some instructions. Even if I went now, it might be a little too late!" She gave a forced smile.
Isn't it just a threat? Does that mean others won't threaten anymore?
If she does what she says, then I'll do what she says next. There's no point in being polite anymore. If it weren't for the need to maintain a facade of friendliness, Little Niohuru would have slapped her long ago. Although she's usually gentle, she's definitely not the kind of person without a temper! Who isn't a pampered young lady at home? Who wasn't spoiled and pampered growing up? Why should she be threatened by you?
Actually, she hadn't explained this part of the matter before she came, but time was really tight. Since she had said so, she wouldn't hold back!
Xiao Tongjia's eyes widened immediately, and her fingers began to tremble uncontrollably. She hadn't expected that the person in front of her, who was usually so gentle, could be so annoying when she got angry!
Little Niohuru smiled, turned around, and led her people away.
I've only come here to inform her; I thought there was still a chance to make changes!
Time is so tight, I need to get things arranged quickly. It's a shame I got such a terrible teammate; I'll never work with her again!
When she had no temper at all, she thought that her previous behavior of not fighting or grabbing was just because she had just entered the palace and was still a newcomer, and did not want to offend the concubines!
Besides, she should be happy to have someone so troublesome and arrogant as a contrast, why would she be so foolish as to seek the limelight!
If you're really not satisfied, then go ahead and make a scene. It would be best to take it to the Empress Dowager and let her see who's really so determined to fight this endlessly!
