Consort De resided in Yonghe Palace within the Forbidden City.
Unfortunately, the Forbidden City here is completely different in style from the Palace Museum that Rong Xi had visited before. And this was Rong Xi's first time visiting Yonghe Palace, where Consort De resided.
When Ulanara was alive, she did come once, but only once, and still didn't have a clear understanding of Yonghe Palace.
Since Rong Xi had decided to go to the palace, she didn't choose an auspicious day. She directly led Granny Rui and Granny Xiang, along with Xi Que and Jiang Zi, onto the flying carriage.
Before, Rong Xi wouldn't have dared to bring the now fully recovered Magpie into the Forbidden City, before she had made Kangxi aware of her abilities as the successor to the previous generation of the Yantian Sect's leader. After all, Magpie had angered Kangxi not long ago.
But now, Rong Xi has become very bold.
Taotie was right beside her. If anyone dared to cause trouble, she wouldn't hesitate to let Taotie unleash its power.
May the Fourth Princess Consort be blessed!
"Greetings to the Princess Consort!"
As Rong Xi and her entourage landed outside the gates of Yonghe Palace, the nanny guarding the gates immediately stepped forward to pay her respects.
Is Consort De present?
Rong Xi glanced at the two old women who greeted her, but did not ask them to dispense with the formalities.
She also had a good impression of these two.
Back then, Ulanara was just a mortal. When she came to Yonghe Palace, those two people looked down on her.
"I've finally helped you get revenge!"
Rong Xi murmured to herself, as if to seek justice for the deceased Ulanara clan.
After all, she now occupies the body of Ulanara. To outsiders, she is Ulanara. If she remains unmoved by the two maids who once gave her a hard time, that would be too magnanimous.
"Yes, yes!"
The two gatekeeper women knelt on the ground, filled with fear and trepidation.
They were truly terrified. You see, both Granny Du and Granny Jin were Consort De's personal maids, and both met a tragic end, their bodies torn apart, because of the Fourth Prince's wife.
Although these two had been cultivating for much longer than Rong Xi, their aptitude was still terrible; at their advanced age, they were still only at the Foundation Establishment stage. It's truly baffling where they got their sense of superiority back then.
"oh!"
Rong Xi responded, but still did not let the two of them get up. Instead, she led Granny Rui and the others directly into Yonghe Palace.
"Keep kneeling!"
Just as the two kneeling figures were about to get up after Rong Xi entered Yonghe Palace, they heard Rong Xi's cold and indifferent words.
That's right, she is petty, vengeful, and extremely vindictive!
Although it's said that you have to consider the owner before beating a dog, Rong Xi did this on purpose.
Just as she had said before, "You may look down on me today, but you'll be begging for my attention one day." Her treatment of the two gatekeepers at Yonghe Palace was entirely for the benefit of Consort De.
Rong Xi couldn't directly target Consort De, but she could still embarrass her.
...
"A petty person has gained power!"
"hateful!"
Inside the main hall of Yonghe Palace, Consort De already knew about Rong Xi's arrival, but seeing Rong Xi's actions, she was truly furious and almost couldn't control her anger, smashing the teacup in front of her.
"Your Majesty, please calm down!"
"A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!"
Tu, the old woman guarding Consort De's side, spoke urgently, urging Consort De to be patient.
Consort De was not a cultivator with a single spiritual root, but rather with dual spiritual roots of wood and fire. It was because of these dual spiritual roots that Consort De focused on alchemy.
Unfortunately, she was unaware that she possessed exceptional talent in alchemy.
Her batch of Foundation Building Pills would have succeeded if Lan Xi hadn't interfered with the baby's efforts.
"Your Majesty, a moment of patience will bring peace!"
"The Fourth Princess Consort has suffered a lot of injustice because she was unable to cultivate in the past. Now that she wants to get revenge, you shouldn't stop her; you should lend a hand!"
Granny Tu, though only at the half-step Golden Core stage, has always been Consort De's strategist and absolute confidante. Her words carry considerable weight with Consort De.
Consort De gradually calmed down, nodded slightly, and said, "You're right. A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan! Once I obtain the top-grade wood-fire spirit stone and break through in my cultivation, I'll settle accounts with her. For now, I'll let her be!"
How could Consort De be so easily dealt with, given her ability to rise to prominence in Kangxi's harem?
Rong Xi naturally had no idea what Consort De was planning, and even if she did, she would only purse her lips. She had Taotie as her henchman, and if Consort De was really provoked, she wouldn't tolerate her "bad habits".
"Your daughter-in-law greets her mother!"
Rong Xi quickly entered the main hall of Yonghe Palace and saw Consort De sitting there.
Consort De was dignified and composed; her previous anger had completely vanished.
"No need for formalities!"
Consort De nodded slightly, then looked at Granny Tu beside her and said calmly, "Granny Tu, prepare some tea and snacks!"
"yes!"
Aunt Tu responded and turned to leave.
"Sit down and let's talk!"
After Tu Mama left, Consort De looked at Rong Xi and spoke gently.
Rong Xi immediately thanked Consort De and then took her seat.
As Rong Xi sat down in silence, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became somewhat subtle.
Consort De had been looking forward to Rong Xi's arrival, but when Rong Xi actually came, she suddenly realized that she seemed to have nothing to say to this unlikable daughter-in-law.
"Your Majesty, Consort Yi, Consort Hui, and Consort Rong have arrived!"
Just as Consort De was pondering how to break the delicate situation, another nanny appeared in the hall.
