"Yes, Your Highness. These two Ladies were not originally living here. Because their previous residence was old and dilapidated, the Empress had them moved out…"
Before the attendant could finish, Noble Concubine Shih interrupted, "There's no need to explain further. This palace has no interest in knowing…"
Upon hearing the word "Empress," she felt a tightness in her chest… That position was originally hers, HMPH!
"Someone… summon them here! This palace wishes to know what they are laughing about. What is there to be so proud of!"
Ying Yue had originally wanted to advise restraint, but seeing the fury on her mistress's face, she forcibly held back her words of persuasion.
Lady Lan and Lady Xi were the same as Xia Ruqing. They too were Fine Ladies newly entered into the palace. At the ages of sixteen or seventeen, they were naturally lively and energetic. Normally cautious and restrained, they wouldn't dare to act so freely.
