"Oh, My Lady, you know how it is. The one in Jianzhang Palace has been in poor health ever since she gave birth to Princess Taihua. So of course the Emperor has to summon the Pure Consort more often to help manage things. But that's official business. When the Pure Consort comes here to Zhaoyang Palace, it's a personal visit. It's plain to see who she's truly close with, My Lady."
Qiu Tang was too slow-tongued, so Eunuch Ding beside her got the first word in.
Hearing this, a smile graced Noble Princess Consort Rong's red lips.
This was exactly the kind of talk she loved to hear.
Those raised in the lap of luxury always placed great importance on their feelings, prioritizing their own joys and sorrows above mere wealth. But Jiang Xian was different. 'You can't just give up money for something like affection, can you?'
Just then, a palace maid hurried into the room. "Lady, the Pure Consort has arrived."
"Yes, show her in."
But the Pure Consort wasn't alone.
