The three women obeyed and raised their heads. Lanqin carefully examined them.
Lanqin had seen the portraits of the three people before. Gao Xiyue was indeed bright-eyed and white-toothed, with a cheerful appearance; Su Lufu was the most beautiful, and her personality seemed gentle and graceful; Zeng Xiwen had a very imposing presence, but her appearance was a little less attractive.
Lanqin was quite satisfied with the appearance of the three of them, but after today's incident, she had many doubts about their personalities and needed to observe them carefully.
Meanwhile, Gao Xiyue was also observing Lanqin. Today, Lanqin was wearing a dark blue brocade long dress with white plum blossoms embroidered on the hem. A white brocade belt cinched her slender waist, and her black hair was styled into a ruyi bun with only a white jade plum blossom hairpin. Although simple, it made her look fresh and elegant as she dressed in front of the mirror. Her face was lightly powdered, and she wore a light blue palace dress with double-nest clouds and wild geese in embroidery. A newly picked white plum blossom was pinned to her head, and she wore only a delicate jade hairpin with fine silver beaded tassels.
Gao Xiyue was amazed by Lanqin's beauty and thought to herself, "No wonder the Emperor dotes on Consort Xi so much."
Gao Xiyue stared intently at Lanqin, forgetting all manners. Wei Mama, standing nearby, couldn't help but get anxious and quickly pretended to cough twice.
"How can Gao Xiyue be so ill-mannered? If Her Majesty blames me for not teaching her properly, I'll teach her a lesson," Wei Mama thought to herself.
Gao Xiyue heard Wei Mama cough. She turned around and saw Wei Mama glaring at her. Realizing her rudeness, she quickly lowered her head.
Lanqin observed Gao Xiyue's actions. She smiled slightly, thinking to herself: "Although Gao Xiyue acts impulsively, she is ultimately simple-minded. With proper guidance in time, she will surely become a qualified princess."
Lanqin glanced at Zeng Xiwen and Su Lufu again, thinking to herself, "As for what's going on with the two of them, I don't know."
Lanqin then asked Granny Wei, "Granny Wei, I want to know the cause and effect of this matter, so please tell them what happened to them today in front of the three of them, and let them hear it themselves."
"Yes, Your Highness," Granny Wei recounted in detail what had happened to the three of them since they moved into that room.
After hearing what Granny Wei said, the three of them felt a little embarrassed, not expecting that Granny Wei had been watching their every move.
Gao Xiyue, in particular, never expected that her carefully crafted plan would be exposed by Wei Mama, and even be revealed in front of Consort Xi, which was truly embarrassing.
Su Lufu was afraid. Although Zeng Xiwen had bullied them first, it was she and Gao Xiyue who had made things worse. She didn't know how Consort Xi would punish them. Any punishment was fine as long as they weren't sent home. Su Lufu prayed silently.
Zeng Xiwen, however, didn't think so much about it. Spoiled since childhood and used to bullying others, she didn't take cutting Su Lufu's clothes seriously. In her mind, it was just a joke. She felt that Gao Xiyue and Su Lufu were the ones who had done something wrong by putting perfume on her. Therefore, she was convinced that Lanqin would definitely punish Gao Xiyue and Su Lufu. She raised her head and smugly felt a sense of pride. Moreover, when she came out, her father had already hinted that she would definitely not be dismissed, which meant that her family had taken care of things.
