Princess Zhaoping had already received the Empress Dowager's edict and knew that this was a scheme devised by the Empress Dowager to secure her position in the Ninth Prince's residence. Naturally, she readily agreed and even sent someone to give Wang Mama a reward.
Qian Yingying was used to being tormented at home, so she didn't care.
Despite her lofty ambitions, Song Huiru was filled with utter disgust.
Especially since Granny Wang, seeing that Song Huiru was of low status, kept speaking to her with her nose in her nose, which made Song Huiru's face turn white with anger.
In addition, Song Huiru was also somewhat flustered.
In her previous life, she had heard that Consort Xiao was a stay-at-home Buddhist who did not concern herself with anything.
Therefore, when the entire Ninth Prince's mansion was destroyed, only Consort Xiao was spared thanks to the late emperor's protection. She eventually moved to a nunnery to live out her remaining years in peace.
But now, Consort Xiao is no longer hiding from the world, but is going to start rectifying the family's traditions, which does not match her memory!
"Madam, what's wrong? You look so pale," Chun Tao asked with concern.
Song Huiru shook her head: "It's hard to say. Empress Dowager Xiao has been living in seclusion for many years. She shouldn't be handling household affairs and rules."
"In my opinion, this may not be because Consort Xiao wants to manage the household affairs and rules, but because the Empress Dowager wants to deal with that... Princess Chonghe, for the sake of Princess Zhaoping," Chunxing said.
Song Huiru always had a sense of unease, as if things had slipped out of her control.
Perhaps it was because it was a matter in the backyard of the family, and it didn't last long, so it wasn't known to outsiders and didn't spread, which is why she hadn't heard about it in her previous life.
Song Huiru comforted herself in this way.
Granny Wang still remembered the last time the Ninth Prince was angry and almost chopped off her hand;
This time, relying on the Empress Dowager's support, she deliberately went to Hui Nuan Pavilion last, intending to make a good impression on the young maids and regain the face she had lost.
He entered the Hui Nuan Pavilion with his head held high.
From a distance, Granny Wang shouted in a high-pitched voice, "The Empress Dowager has issued an edict. Princess Chonghe, why are you not coming out to receive the order?"
Ji Fengyao had already reached the mid-stage of the fifth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm and was preparing to go to the dark room to meditate and cultivate. She planned to reach the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm in the next two days so she could start refining pills. Hearing this boastful voice out of the blue left her speechless.
In this mundane world, there are always so many bored people who have nothing better to do than eat and drink.
Close the hidden passage in the closet.
Ji Fengyao calmly sat back down at the table, leisurely gazing at the doorway.
"I'm afraid it's because of what happened yesterday," Lin Shuang said softly.
Ji Fengyao's eyebrows curved slightly, but she remained silent.
The sparrow, who was eating pastries with tea nearby, quickly stuffed the leftover pastries into her mouth, wiping the crumbs off her little hands as she stood up and mumbled, "Who cares what she's doing here? If she dares to disrespect our young lady, she'll get what's coming to her. I haven't even settled the score with her for burning our young lady's hand last time!"
Granny Wang called out at the inner courtyard gate. Seeing no response from inside, she walked towards the gate while shouting, "Where are the people in the courtyard? Do they all have the guts of bears and leopards? Didn't they hear the Empress Dowager's decree? Come out now..."
Upon reaching the door, they saw Ji Fengyao and her three servants sitting upright in front of it.
Granny Wang's words abruptly stopped.
What should we do? These bandits seem a bit scary.
Hmph, does she think she's more important than the Empress Dowager?
Wang Mama hesitated for a moment, but ultimately didn't want to lose face in front of all the young maids. She coughed lightly, stepped into the room, and said arrogantly, "The Empress Dowager's decree has arrived. Princess Chonghe, obey my command."
Quiet, as still as a gentle breeze rustling fallen leaves.
