The Valued Lady is Truly Dominant-Chapter 788: Offending Whom with Plain Clothes
The Dragon Boat Festival’s assassination incident turned a cheerful event into grief, casting a heavy and oppressive atmosphere over the entire capital city.
In the evening, a torrential downpour came with the dragon boat waters.
The Princess Consort of Prince Min returned to the mansion in the heavy rain, only to be informed upon arrival that Princess Consort Ji summoned her for a talk.
"Let my Consort Mother wait a moment. I shall change my clothes before going." The Princess Consort of Prince Min spoke with grace, despite her physical and mental exhaustion.
The stewardess frowned and said, "Princess, the Dowager has instructed you to attend her immediately upon your return."
The Princess Consort of Prince Min cast a light glance at her and said, "Do you want me to appear before my Consort Mother with my appearance in disarray?"
Her voice was light, and in the heavy rain, mixed with the sound of it, was not very clear, but that indifferent gaze caused a chill down the stewardess’s spine.
"This servant would not dare." She took a step back.
Only then did the Princess Consort of Prince Min take Wan Chun’s hand and return to the main courtyard.
"Master, since you got drenched, why not take a bath before going? It’s still raining heavily outside," Wan Chun said, looking at the haggard Princess Consort of Prince Min with affection.
"No need, just change into plain clothes and redo my hair," the Princess Consort of Prince Min said.
Wan Chun agreed, personally preparing a slightly plain set of clothes, and had water brought in to assist the Princess Consort of Prince Min in her grooming.
"Master, please accept my condolences. Try not to be too sorrowful."
"Mm."
Wan Chun continued, "The young Prince really has great fortune; encountering the Lady of the Song Family, otherwise..."
"Indeed, I hope he will have future blessings," said the Princess Consort of Prince Min, looking at herself in the copper mirror, a sigh escaping her throat.
Seeing this, Wan Chun dared not say more, quickly helping her dress and redoing her hair with only two silver hairpins.
"Let’s go."
...
Princess Consort Ji was already extremely displeased as she waited, especially after hearing about the assassins, she was so frightened she nearly fainted, luckily her Ze’er was unharmed.
However, after Ze’er returned to the mansion, the Princess Consort of Prince Min was nowhere to be seen. After inquiring, it turned out she had gone to the Prince Xin Mansion, which infuriated her greatly.
Such a significant incident occurred, and instead of accompanying her husband back, knowing that she was also unwell, she should have returned to the mansion to attend to her duties.
Yet she went to her maternal family, truly growing more brazen, as if her natal family was more important to her?
A truly ungrateful wretch.
"Consort Mother, the Princess Consort really has a big face, leaving you waiting." Consort Ji sneered from the side, "She’s clearly not respecting you."
Princess Consort Ji glared at her: "Shut up!"
"Dowager, the Princess Consort has arrived."
Princess Consort Ji grimly said, "Let her crawl in."
With a movement of her mouth, pain prickled, tempting her to touch it, but remembering the Imperial Physician’s words, she didn’t dare.
Initially, she regretted being stung by a centipede and missing the dragon boat race, but upon hearing about the chaos caused by the assassins, she felt somewhat glad.
Thankfully, she didn’t go, otherwise who knows if she would have been caught up in the trouble.
Darker thoughts crossed her mind, thinking if the Emperor had gotten into trouble, it would have been even better.
Alas, things didn’t go as wished. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
Silhouetted behind the screen, Princess Consort Ji sat up straight; the sight of plain attire met her eyes, only two silver hairpins in the hair.
This was the simplest attire she had seen the Princess Consort of Prince Min in, Consort Ji was also taken aback, watching with schadenfreude, expecting a reprimand.
Sure enough, Princess Consort Ji’s eyelid twitched violently, her blood surging, and she grabbed a backscratcher from the bedding to hurl at her, angrily saying, "Xia, you’re being outrageous, I am still well alive, dressed this way, who are you cursing, foolish thing."
