The Emperor rubbed his forehead, his expression slightly overcast.
Consort Xian saw this and rose with a smile to stand behind him, starting to massage his forehead.
"Emperor, I didn't mean to fault the Commandery Princess intentionally. It's just that there are rules within the palace. When I saw the two palace maids guarding the Commandery Princess, I mistakenly thought that the Commandery Princess had brought two maids into the palace, hence the misunderstanding."
This scene made many of the concubines clench their teeth in envy, but with Consort Xian's status derived from her two sons, how could they compete with her?
Even their visit to Chenglan Palace today was specifically restricted to each bringing only one palace maid.
If they weren't aware that they hadn't offended Consort Xian recently, they might have thought she was taking the opportunity to eliminate them.
The Emperor closed his eyes and grunted, his voice revealing neither happiness nor anger.
