Jing Shu was so scared that she cried: "........."
"Why are you crying? Shut up." The Crown Princess Consort said fiercely, "Answer your mother consort's question."
Jing Shu dared not cry anymore. She forcibly shut her mouth and didn't make a single sound.
Seeing her not speak for a long time, all those manners, demeanor, and decency were set aside by the Crown Princess Consort. She was so angry she almost exploded, "Answer, little ancestor?"
Jing Shu thought to herself, "Mother consort, didn't you tell me to shut up?"
Looking at Jing Shu's resentful eyes and her deliberate mouth-shutting gesture, the Crown Princess Consort belatedly realized why Jing Shu wasn't responding.
She told her to shut up, so she did, and now she doesn't answer. How obedient she is!
The Crown Princess Consort was nearly driven to her wit's end.
She wondered how she and the Crown Prince, both so intelligent, could have given birth to such a dull child.
