Princess Consort Ji's tears streamed down.
It wasn't because she was excited to see an old acquaintance, but rather because seeing the Dragon and Phoenix hairpin on the old acquaintance's head reminded her of the past.
In fact, when the Dragon and Phoenix hairpin was first presented by the Imperial Household Department, she fancied it too, but alas, there was only one pair.
And as for the Dragon and Phoenix hairpin, what is the Phoenix? There is only one Phoenix, so only Wang Jingxian, who was the Empress at the time, had the right to wear it. Naturally, as a Concubine, she was unworthy, and it would have been against the rules.
So, no matter how much she pleaded coquettishly, even though the Emperor favored her, he still didn't give the hairpin to her, but handed it to Empress Dowager Wang.
Now seeing the Dragon and Phoenix hairpin on Empress Dowager Wang's head was a glaring reminder of the past, reminding her of their respective statuses.
How hateful!
