Noble Consort Ji flung her sleeves angrily and walked out of the room with a sullen expression.
But as soon as she left the courtyard, she paused and looked at Wei Ziyao with a smile.
"I've always thought that Sixth Prince was smart since he was young. As expected, I wasn't mistaken. How many people have he fooled with his deep feelings? I'll admit that you used me this time, but don't do it again! After all, compared to the Empress, I don't hate Consort Duan as much. "
Wei Ziyao smiled faintly at Noble Consort Ji's words.
"Noble Consort, you must be joking. Now that the Seventh Prince is an adult, all those who don't know their place in the palace are making their moves. Although Noble Consort only has one daughter, the Eighth Princess, and there's no need for you to participate in these struggles, you should understand the Eighth Princess' position in His Majesty's heart. It's precisely because of her high status that she's destined to be swept into this storm."
"What do you mean?" Noble Consort Ji glanced disdainfully at Wei Ziyao.
Wei Ziyao smiled again. "Noble Consort, you're so smart, so how could you not understand this? Not to mention the fact that you've offended the Empress by bumping into this affair today, even if this didn't happen, the Empress has always been at odds with you. You two were married to Imperial Father at around the same time. She had two princes first and suppressed you. Later on, when you had the Eighth Princess, this pearl, you made her suffer quite a bit. Thus, you and Consort Duan shouldn't just have a relationship of mutual dislike. "
After Wei Ziyao finished speaking, Noble Consort Ji finally looked her in the eye. "Wei Ziyao, you've surprised me. From what you've said, you mean that Sixth Prince is also prepared to take that position?"
"I wouldn't dare. That position will only go to whoever Imperial Father decides for it. We all have to listen to Imperial Father's arrangements. This concubine's words today were merely to help Imperial Mother get closer to you."
"Mn, it's nice to hear." Noble Consort Ji nodded. "Consort Duan should be smiling even in her dreams to have a daughter-in-law like you. Don't worry, this concubine knows what to do."
"Then this concubine thanks Imperial Concubine."
Wei Ziyao felt a headache coming on. She glared fiercely at Qi Jianning, who was beside her, and the latter hurriedly shrank back.
"Imperial Mother, there's no time to lose. Let's hurry back to the palace and report to the Emperor."
"Little thing, you helped an outsider plot against your Imperial Mother. See how I'll deal with you when we get back!" Noble Consort Ji pretended to viciously pinch Qi Jianning, but in reality, she didn't use any strength.
"Mother, how can you say that they're outsiders? Sixth Brother and Ziyao are family."
Qi Jianning had been raised in the palace since she was a child. She was no fool. She had long thought about who she would side with if she had to choose a team one day.
Wei Ziyao followed Qi Jianning and Noble Consort Ji into the palace to complain. She was in the same carriage as Qi Jianning.
"Qi Jianning, you colluded with Ki Chien-chul to scare me, didn't you? Why didn't you discuss this with me in advance? "
"Sixth Brother and I … didn't want to drag you into this." Qi Jianning lowered her head like a child who had done something wrong.
She didn't think that her Imperial Mother wouldn't listen to her. If it weren't for Ziyao's words at the critical moment, her Imperial Mother wouldn't have gone to Begonia Courtyard.
"Where's Ki Chien-chul?"
"He and Eldest Brother are in charge of receiving the diplomatic mission this time. They've been taking care of the relay stations along the way."
Qi Jianning saw that Wei Ziyao's expression wasn't very good, so she hurriedly grabbed her hand. "Actually, I already knew that Sixth Brother doesn't like Ruier. Sixth Brother kept her around because she was useful, but now … Sixth Brother personally set a trap to get rid of her. You should know what Sixth Brother means, right?"
