Chapter 1806: Chapter 1803: Prince Xuan’s Side Consort

“Miss Qi, I just didn’t see you, please don’t be angry. I’ll take you to change clothes right away.” A maid who clearly looked like she was from Beirong apologized softly.

Although Princess Weisaiya has not yet entered the mansion, according to the rules, a welcome ceremony has already been arranged on King Qi’s side.

However, a maid from Princess Weisaiya’s side had been sent in advance to become familiar with the rear courtyard of King Qi’s mansion. Logically, a maid of Princess Weisaiya should not have appeared at the banquet.

How could Qi Yun let it go so easily: “Do you know how much silver this dress cost me? Truly ignorant of the rules, is this how Prince Xuan’s Side Consort taught you?”

It seemed as if she was bullying a maid, but in reality, she intended to use this incident to humiliate Princess Weisaiya, thereby elevating Prince Qi’s Side Consort’s status. Such family disputes are always about these goals.

Chu Ziluo took another bite of the pastry, finding it somewhat dry.

Huo Hongyan, noticing her difficulty in swallowing, hurriedly brought over a cup of tea for her and then picked two oranges: “The oranges you like are quite sweet, I hear they were grown in King Qi’s mansion’s greenhouse, and they taste good.”

Chu Ziluo took a sip of tea, swallowed the pastry, peeled an orange, ate a segment, and nodded: “Quite sweet, thank you, Ms. Huo.”

“No need to thank me.” Huo Hongyan smiled as she patted her head, treating her entirely like a younger sister, and looked at the Beirong maid who was about to cry from being humiliated, saying, “That Qi Yun and Qi Luo are from the same mother.”

“But they are both daughters of a concubine. Speaking of which, back when the Qi family arranged a marriage with King Qi, only the eldest daughter, Qi Luo, was of suitable age. Unfortunately, she was a daughter of a concubine, but the Qi family still agreed, showing indeed a close relationship with King Qi’s mansion.”

Chu Ziluo knew that Prince Qi’s Side Consort Qi Luo was King Qi’s cousin, technically a year older than King Qi. It’s said that her status in King Qi’s mansion was quite high, at least no one would embarrass her to her face.

Seeing Qi Yun purposely vent her anger for her sister, suppressing Princess Weisaiya on the wedding day, she was not at all surprised.

She ate another orange segment and said, “Hmm, I think we should just stay out of it.”

“Yes, lay low, lay low. There’s nothing for us to gain by getting involved.” Zhou Jiaojiao nodded slightly, and the three of them clearly had a different approach, but because the earlier commotion was quite big, many young misses still wanted to please Qi Yun and joined in on dealing with the maid.

Just as the maid was bullied to tears, the housekeeper hurried over upon getting the news, apologizing to Qi Yun in a pleasant tone: “Miss Qi, shall I take you to the rear courtyard to change into clean clothes?”

“When I came over just now, the Prince said that it’s been a while since Prince Qi’s Side Consort has seen her family. By coincidence, today is appropriate. Would you like to come with me to visit Prince Qi’s Side Consort?”

Qi Yun, having caused a commotion, was in high spirits, looking smugly at the maid on the floor, in a sorry state, ready to seize the opportunity to escalate the situation, forcing Prince Qi’s Consort to intervene and embarrass Princess Weisaiya, when she was caught off-guard by the housekeeper’s words, which leaned decidedly toward Princess Weisaiya’s side, causing her expression to darken immediately.

With a somewhat sarcastic tone, she said, “Housekeeper, in respect of the Prince, I am naturally willing to let her go. However, it’s a fact that this maid offended me, and it shouldn’t be taken lightly. She should be dealt with as seen fit, shouldn’t she?”

“How about punishing her by kneeling for an hour?”

The housekeeper’s expression changed slightly, knowing that agreeing to this would be tantamount to insulting Princess Weisaiya.
