Noble Princess Consort Rong staggered.
If her quick-eyed and nimble-handed maid, Qiu Yun, hadn't steadied her, she probably would have fallen to the floor.
She had just arrived at the side hall when a nanny brought over writing materials for her to begin copying. With a smile that didn't reach her eyes, she said, "Don't rush me, Nanny. I will start copying as soon as I've had a short rest. I have a bit of a headache right now, and I'm afraid my poor penmanship would offend the Empress Dowager's eyes."
Having said that, she raised a hand to her temples, feigning discomfort.
Seeing this, the nanny didn't dare press her. "Your Highness is unwell. Should I report this to the Empress Dowager and summon an Imperial Physician to examine you?"
"There's no need. It's just that the sight of words gives me a terrible headache." 'Especially words written by Jiang Xian.'
