Consort Xian stood there in a daze, unable to react for a while. Did she just mishear?
Did Ji Ruyan actually say she should bow to her?
Seeing Consort Xian's bewildered expression, Ruyan slightly smirked, "Consort Xian, I'm talking to you. You haven't paid your respects to me yet."
An Siyi panicked and knelt on the ground, trying to protect her master, "Seventh Imperial Concubine, Consort Xian is of a higher rank than you, so you should be the one bowing to her."
Ji Ruyan shot a sideways glance at An Siyi, "When the master is speaking, is a mere servant like you allowed to interrupt? An Siyi, as someone from the Bureau of Etiquette, you should know the court rules better than anyone! Are you sure you want to bring about your own death?"
Just like that, An Siyi was choked into silence.
Consort Xian laughed, "Seventh Imperial Concubine, do you know that I am the Emperor's concubine?"
Good!
This is exactly what she wanted to hear.
