Xueying sat down and looked at the scenery outside the pavilion, while A'luo stood to the side waving her fan.
Gao did not leave either. The two rarely sat together, and with this incident just now, the atmosphere in the pavilion was even more awkward.
A Luo was so excited that she couldn't come to her senses from what had just happened. Was the one who had just scolded Gao Shi really her own princess?
The princess is back...
She thought Xueying would continue to tolerate it, but she never expected that just now...
A'Luo whispered in Xueying's ear, "Princess, did you see the expression on Gao's face just now? Why is she still sitting here? Isn't she leaving?"
Xueying originally just wanted to remind Gao Shi not to go too far in his actions, but she didn't mean to leave.
Madam Gao was restless. She didn't know why she was still staying here to see Ulanara Xueying's face after being reprimanded by her. Perhaps it was out of spite? Why couldn't she stay where the concubine had come?
Madam Gao glanced at the maid beside her, thinking about how she had just been scolded by Ulanara Xueying and then knelt down. She wondered where her usual courage had gone and how useless she was.
"Oh, poor Princess, she could have stayed in the mansion, but now because some people are trying to curry favor with the Fujin, they've reduced the number of ice basins, so the Princess has to come to the pavilion to cool off..." A'Luo's voice reached Gao Shi's ears. Realizing that she was being talked about, Gao Shi, who was already in a bad mood, was about to explode when her maidservant quickly reminded her that it was best to be patient.
A Luo thought about how much Xueying had been bullied and suppressed by the Fujin and Gao Shi during this time. Now that she finally had a chance to vent her anger, she was determined to make good use of it.
"Gege, I heard that the current Princess Consort has entrusted you with handling all the affairs of the household?" Xueying asked proactively.
Gao was somewhat flustered, not expecting Xueying to take the initiative to talk to him.
"Reporting to Consort Gao, Consort Gao is only asking me to help out because she is short-handed recently. It's just some trivial matters," Consort Gao replied cautiously.
Seeing that neither she nor Gao Shi intended to tell her more, and that she really didn't know what to say, Xueying stopped talking and focused on enjoying the scenery.
Gao Shi was also looking at the scenery outside, but her mind was no longer on the flowers. The reason she was speaking so politely to Ulanara Xueying was because her status was lower than hers. If she were also a concubine, she could sit on equal footing with her and wouldn't have to be so subservient in the future.
Thinking of this, she decided to go to Fucha Mingyu and ask her for advice, as she did not want to be suppressed by Ulanara Xueying forever.
Lady Gao stood up to leave, saying, "Consort, I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now."
Gao curtsied, and Xueying watched her departing figure, a bad feeling flashing through her heart.
"Princess, she must have gone to complain to the main wife. What should we do?" A'Luo, who had been so confident just moments before, couldn't help but feel worried when she saw Gao Shi leaving in such a hurry.
Xueying comforted her, "It's alright. She won't tell the Fujin about something so embarrassing. Besides, even if she did, would the Fujin really question me over something so trivial? Our Fujin is very clever. Gao Shi is just a sword in her hand. She's watching what Gao Shi does from behind."
Aro nodded and then dropped the matter.
