Concubine Jiang was filled with confusion in her heart.
Could it be that they were not looking at the same painting?
Even putting aside her disdain for Attendant Lady Xi, this Birthday Celebration Painting was the most ordinary kind one could find in the market, undeserving of any praise. It should not have even been qualified to be sent into the palace. Whichever family chose this for a birthday celebration would be laughed at for half a year, and laughed at again on their next birthday.
Yet this unremarkable painting was praised to the skies by more than half the harem.
If the Empress hadn't left early, Concubine Jiang really wanted to ask her—Is this Birthday Celebration Painting really that well done? She truly was able to paint better than this when she was six!
At this moment, Concubine Jiang's poor reputation in the palace became evident.
No one among the seated dared to remind her about the Jade Seal on the Birthday Celebration Painting.
