Li Yao lowered her head in grievance, tears pattering down.
At that moment, the elderly nanny who cared for Li Yao appeared, holding a plate of cherry pastries in her hands.
Seeing Li Yao sobbing in the room, the old nanny's heart ached. She hurried inside and pulled the weeping girl into her arms, then looked up and said, "Princess Consort, Young Mistress Yao is still very young. Please don't scold her so harshly."
The nanny had been sent by the Empress to care for Li Yao, so her words carried weight.
The Princess Consort's face turned cold. "When did a mere outsider like you earn the right to lecture me on how to discipline my own child?"
The nanny replied coolly, "This servant was assigned by Her Majesty the Empress to serve in the Prince's residence and care for the young mistress. If the Princess Consort is dissatisfied, you may bring your grievances to the Empress herself."
The Princess Consort gritted her teeth in anger.
