Qin Yining couldn't help but sigh when she saw how nervous the two of them were.
Qin Yining didn't want to make things difficult for the servants. They were all following orders, and she had never been picky about food.
How could she get better if she didn't eat? Who cared what she ate? She just needed to eat.
After Qin Yining had a full meal, she rinsed her mouth and washed her face. Then, she planned to take a walk outside.
Unexpectedly, just as she gave the order, a woman's voice came from outside.
"… We are the Princess Consorts. Of course, we have the right to see the Goddess. What? Is the Goddess not allowed to see us because she is ugly?"
"That's right. Hurry up and get out of the way. Otherwise, This King Consort will have the Royal Prince behead you!"
The women's voices were very sweet. If it weren't for the fact that the content of their words was too domineering, it would have sounded quite pleasant.
Bi Yu nervously said in a low voice, "Goddess, the Princess Consorts are here."
Qin Yining rubbed the space between her brows. Then, she stood up and walked to the outer hall. She sat down in the middle of the hall and said, "Let them in."
Bi Yu nodded. Just as she was about to go out and welcome them, the women walked in with their entourage.
The woman in the lead was in her early thirties. She was tall and voluptuous. She had a long face and regular facial features. Her hair was combed into a high bun with a pair of gold and ruby tassel hairpins. As she walked, the red flowers on her peony embroidered high-waisted dress and the ruby on her hair resonated with each other. Under the illumination of the hall's lights, it was a little dazzling.
The two women behind her were both in their prime. The taller one had a slender figure. The other one was of average height. The two of them were also dressed in luxurious and luxurious outfits, beaming with jewels. Although they weren't wearing silk but fine cotton, it was obvious that they had an extraordinary status based on the color and style.
Bi Yu whispered in Qin Yining's ear, "Goddess, the one wearing the peony embroidered dress is the First Princess Consort. The one wearing the blue dress is the Second Princess Consort. The one wearing the fine embroidered dress is the Third Princess Consort."
Hearing this, Qin Yining nodded slightly. Then, he raised his eyebrows and looked at the three consorts who had come with a group of maids.
The three princesses and the group of maids behind them had already stopped in their tracks. They stared blankly at Qin Yining, who was sitting upright on the head seat.
As the saying goes, the more one looks at a beauty under the light, the more one looks at her.
Under the orange light, Qin Yining, who was dressed in red, appeared to have dark hair and snow-white skin. Most importantly, she had exquisite facial features and a noble temperament. Just by sitting there quietly and looking at them quietly, he gave people a sense of inviolable nobility.
After a long while, the Third Princess Consort coughed and broke the silence in the room.
"Aiyo, so the Goddess is actually such a beauty. No wonder the Duke bestowed her with the best palace and even visited her twice a day."
Qin Yining raised his eyebrows and remained silent.
It seemed that this Wangfei's upbringing was not that strict. As a Wangfei, she actually spoke like a shrew in the marketplace.
Seeing that Qin Yining was silent, the Second Princess Consort looked at him. The Second Princess Consort adjusted the light blue cloak on her shoulders and said, "The Third Princess Consort has gone overboard. The Goddess was sent by God to deliver food to us. The Holy Book has long prophesied that the Goddess will definitely become the Duke's official consort. This is a decree from the Holy Book. How can the Duke not listen to it? "
Qin Yining was amused. The Second Princess Consort was much more shrewd than the Third Princess Consort. What she meant was that the Duke treated her specially because of the Holy Book's records and not because he valued her.
The First Princess Consort adjusted the golden hairpin in her hair and smiled gently. "The Second Princess Consort is right."
She slowly walked in front of Qin Yining and reached out her fair hand as if she wanted to touch Qin Yining's cheek. "Tsk, tsk. This little sister is so beautiful. It's good to be young."
Her frivolous words made Qin Yining frown. He leaned back to avoid her hand and said unhappily, "What brings you here?"
The First Princess Consort's hand missed and she frowned angrily.
The Third Princess Consort covered her mouth and laughed. "Aiyo, I say, First Princess Consort, don't try to worm your way into being friends with her. She's a Goddess. How can ordinary people like us touch her? Don't you see that our Duke is infatuated with her? "
The First Princess Consort ignored the Third Princess Consort's mockery and provocation. She only said to Qin Yining, "Although you're a Goddess, you're going to be the Duke's Consort in the future. You'll be the Fifth Princess Consort. We're all women who serve the Duke and can be considered sisters. We'll be spending a lot of time together in the future. We should get to know each other better, right?"
As she spoke, she sat down intimately beside Qin Yining and poured herself a cup of tea. She said, "Come, tell me, where are you from? Are you really the Goddess mentioned in the Holy Book? When do you plan to consummate your marriage with the Duke? "
When Qin Yining heard this, he couldn't help but find it funny.
It seemed that the Duke's Consort was the same as the Duke's Consort. They were both people who thought highly of themselves and were jackals of the same tribe.
Qin Yining didn't want to answer. He looked at Jasper at the side and said, "I'm tired. Serve me so I can rest. "
As he spoke, he stood up and motioned for Jasper to lead the way. He planned to sleep in the inner hall.
The First Princess Consort's expression changed. How could she, who had never been so neglected by anyone, endure the anger of a wild girl who suddenly appeared out of nowhere?
Others might believe that she was a Goddess, but she didn't!
Didn't the Duke fall in love with every girl he saw? It was fine if he took in concubines, but if he wanted to curry favor with a stunning beauty, he could find any reason. Why did he have to say that she was a Goddess and wanted her to be his official consort?!
It was ridiculous!
The First Princess Consort had given birth to three sons and two daughters for the Duke. In the future, the position of Heir Apparent must be her son! How could she tolerate a little girl who had appeared out of nowhere stepping on their heads?
The First Princess Consort felt a sense of crisis. After all, she wasn't young anymore. She also knew how many young and beautiful girls in the palace were waiting to curry favor with the Duke. She didn't care if they were of ordinary appearance. It wasn't that she had confidence in herself, but she knew that the Duke was a person who liked the new and hated the old. Even if she was favored for a while, she couldn't guarantee that she would be favored forever.
But now that she saw Qin Yining with her own eyes, she didn't have that certainty. She even had a feeling that if Qin Yining followed the Duke, all of them women wouldn't have a good ending.
Looking at the back of Qin Yining being supported by a servant girl as she walked into the room, the First Princess Consort suddenly had a crazy idea.
If this woman disappeared now, that would be great!
She gritted her teeth and looked at a servant girl dressed in grey and blue robes.
That servant girl received the First Princess Consort's signal and hesitated. Then she gritted her teeth and charged to push Qin Yining.
"How can you be so rude! Did you not hear our First Princess Consort speak to you! "
