The Empress was also looking forward to this matter, but she knew that such things could not be rushed.
"Alright, Consort De, if there's nothing else, you can take Prince Cheng and the others back! It's a good opportunity for you to cultivate your relationship with Princess Cheng."
Before Consort De could even speak, Zhao Jiaorou, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold back any longer and suddenly stood up.
She looked at the Empress above with some anger and asked anxiously.
"Your Majesty, do I not have a gift to give? Why does Jiang Jingyue have so much, while I have nothing?"
When Zhan Chengde heard this, he tried to cover Zhao Jiaorou's mouth, but unfortunately, it was too late.
Zhao Jiaorou said everything, and he couldn't stop her.
His face darkened; he never expected Zhao Jiaorou to say something like that.
He immediately grabbed Zhao Jiaorou, and then, somewhat embarrassed, spoke to the Empress above.
"Mother, I'm sorry. She was just too excited, which is why she said such disrespectful things. I hope you will forgive her."
When Consort De heard this, she was so angry that her face turned green. Zhao Jiaorou's unruly behavior was simply embarrassing her.
Consort De was so angry that she stormed out.
However, at this moment, Zhao Jiaorou had no idea what she had done wrong; she felt that what she said was the truth.
The Empress gave Jiang Jingyue a gift upon meeting her, so why didn't she receive one?
Logically speaking, she is also the Empress's daughter-in-law, so why wasn't she given a greeting gift? This is simply unfair.
So she wanted to speak again, but the Empress spoke first.
"You are the daughter-in-law of Consort De. If you want something, you should ask Consort De, not me. Do you understand?"
When Zhao Jiaorou heard this, she was in a bad mood and very unhappy.
She had thought that since she had asked, the Empress would surely give her some gems, but to her surprise, the Empress told her to talk to Consort De.
Zhao Jiaorou was so angry that she was about to speak again.
However, Zhan Chengde, who was standing next to her, didn't give her a chance to speak at all. He pulled Zhao Jiaorou away and covered her mouth.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I will take her away now."
Zhan Chengde dragged and pulled Zhao Jiaorou away.
At first, Zhao Jiaorou was unwilling to leave, but Zhan Chengde was stronger, so there was nothing he could do about it.
In the end, she was still pulled away, and as soon as she went outside, Consort De was still waiting there.
Seeing Zhan Chengde drag the person out, I was really furious.
"Cheng'er, you, my princess, have really lost your mind! You dare to say anything! I don't even know what to say to you. You've gone completely mad."
Seeing Consort De's angry expression, Zhao Jiaorou was somewhat confused. She had no idea what she had done wrong.
After all, she felt that what she was doing was right.
She could tell that Consort De also really liked those jewels, which was why she made that suggestion.
But she didn't expect that in the end, it would all be her fault.
So Zhao Jiaorou was also very angry at this moment. She looked at Consort De in front of her with some anger and then asked.
"Your Highness, didn't you also like that piece of jewelry? Why this expression? Blame the Empress for being so stingy."
If she hadn't been so stingy and had been willing to share some of her things with us, this wouldn't have happened.
Consort De was furious when she saw Zhao Jiaorou still looking unrepentant.
"You...you...I think you've lost your mind. How could you ask for things in front of the Empress? Your petty behavior is despicable, do you know that?"
Zhao Jiaorou didn't react to this matter at all.
Even now, she still believes that everything she did was right.
So when she heard Consort De say that, she immediately retorted.
“Mother, your thinking is wrong. If you don’t take the initiative, the Empress will be even less likely to give it to you.”
This matter might only have a chance if you take the initiative, although I haven't gained anything from it even though I did.
When Consort De heard Zhao Jiaorou say that, she was so angry that she couldn't speak.
She didn't know what to say for a moment, and could only keep panting.
Seeing Consort De so angry, Zhan Chengde couldn't help but slap Zhao Jiaorou next to him.
"Zhao Jiaorou, what are you doing? Are you trying to anger the Empress Dowager to death? What if she gets so angry that she causes trouble?"
Zhan Chengde was also very angry. He had never thought that Zhao Jiaorou would be so insensible before. The Zhao Jiaorou of the past was very understanding.
He couldn't understand why Zhao Jiaorou had become like this.
After being hit like that, Zhao Jiaorou was completely devastated.
She never expected that Chengde would hit her.
At this moment, Zhao Jiaorou covered her mouth, looking at Zhan Chengde in disbelief.
Her tears started falling immediately and she couldn't stop them.
Unfortunately, the person Zhan Xinchengde liked was not Zhao Jiaorou at all, so he was completely unmoved when he saw Zhao Jiaorou crying.
