"Mother Consort."
Everyone was calling her, Ji Ruyan wanted to slip away but had no choice; helplessly, she could only head in her direction.
The concubines in the room, upon hearing Noble Consort Bing calling Ji Ruyan's name, all their gazes immediately swept towards her.
Ji Ruyan looked at these people and felt a chill down her spine; the way these women stared at her was practically murderous!
However, she was no pushover either. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of her lips, cold to the extreme, "I wonder how to address you all?"
These concubines were all Emperor Xuan's women.
According to hierarchy, Ji Ruyan should have paid her respects, but she had no interest in doing so.
Even Emperor Xuan had granted her the privilege of not kneeling; why should she pay respects to others?
"Concu—I am Qi Zhaoyi, I pay my respects to the Seventh Imperial Concubine."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruyan turned to look at Qi Zhaoyi.
