After Grand Consort Yu was dragged away, not long after, there was no longer any sound from outside the door.
Wanyin came in and reported, “She went back crying.”
Gu Nuo’er blinked.
She obediently jumped off the stool and stood in front of Noble Consort Qiao seriously.
“Mother, Nuo’er didn’t have a conflict with Gu Rao or bully her. It’s just that she wants to cut down the tree, but Nuo’er doesn’t want to.”
“Everyone in school likes that tree a lot. A branch had even grown its way to Nuo’er’s table, but I can’t bear to chop off the branch. I can’t bear to let them chop down the tree just like that!”
When Noble Consort Qiao saw that the child looked like she was admitting her mistake, she couldn’t help but smile gently.
“Why are you explaining this to Mother? Even if you bullied the Commandery Princess, you don’t have to tell Mother clearly. You’re a princess. You can bully anyone you want to.”
Noble Consort Qiao wiped the pastry crumbs off Gu Nuo’er’s lips.
Wanyin and Wanxuan both smiled and said.
“From Grand Consort Yu’s attitude just now, this servant thought that the little princess had beaten up Commandery Princess Rouqing ruthlessly! This servant didn’t expect that it was all for a tree!”
Wanxuan pouted and snorted. “They think too highly of themselves. They dare to let Grand Consort Yu intercede just because the princess didn’t allow the tree to be moved? Don’t tell me they still want to take advantage of their seniority!”
Wanyin nodded. “That must be it. Fortunately, Noble Consort doesn’t fall for this.”
Noble Consort Qiao patted Gu Nuo’er’s small body and let her go in to play by herself.
The child turned around and ran away.
Only then did Noble Consort Qiao restrain her gentle smile, her gaze turning into a sharp coldness.
“Grand Consort Yu is used to taking advantage of opportunities. Unfortunately,
I hate people like her the most. Send a few people to keep an eye on Prince Guang’s family. It’s easy for a troublesome rat to destroy the granary. It’s better to make preparations early.”
“Yes.”
Grand Consort Yu was helped out of the Qiushui Palace by the palace servants.
She stopped wiping her tears.
Crying at that time was just a method.
Now that she was out, there was naturally no need for her to do so.
Grand Consort Yu secretly gritted her teeth.
Noble Consort Qiao was just a concubine! What was there for her to be proud Of?
She didn’t even give birth to a prince. No matter which prince ascended the throne in the future, Noble Consort Qiao’s status would be very awkward!
Grand Consort Yu originally thought that she was rather similar to Noble Consort Qiao, but she didn’t expect Noble Consort Qiao to be so rude and unreasonable.
The palace servants sensed that Grand Consort Yu was in a bad mood, so they asked carefully, “Grand Consort, are we going back to Zhuyou Palace?”
“I won’t go back first. After I entered the palace, I haven’t gone to pay my respects to the Empress. I’ll go to the Empress’s place to pay my respects first.’
The palace servants were a little hesitant.
So late at night?
Everyone knew that the Empress had been recuperating for a few years and had almost recovered recently.
However, at night, no one would disturb the empress.
However, since Grand Consort Yu insisted on going, the palace servants could only accompany her.
Empress Du Yilan was as gentle as the rumors said.
She was also very polite to Grand Consort Yu and asked her to take a seat.
Looking at the surrounding palace that was illuminated by candlelight, Grand Consort Yu sat on a soft cushion and held a teacup in her hand, feeling very satisfied.
People said that Empress Du’s health wasn’t good and the harem had been in Noble Consort Qiao’s hands for so many years.
Even though the two of them were like sisters in the past, their relationship would become fragile in the face of power.
Du Yilan asked gently, “Why did the Grand Consort come over so late at night?” Grand Consort Yu repeated what she had said in the Qiushui Palace.
She also mentioned that when Noble Consort Qiao heard that the princess didn’t allow them to cut down the tree, Noble Consort Qiao actually showed great support.
Initially, Grand Consort Yu thought that she could obtain Empress Du’s support.
After all, Empress Du had already recovered. Could she let the harem continue to be managed by Noble Consort Qiao?
Unexpectedly, Du Yilan frowned faintly. “You just said that Nuo’er only ate one piece of pastry? That’s so little. Would she be full? Seriously, why isn’t Yayu feeding the child properly?”
Grand Consort Yu, ‘
Hadn’t the empress placed her focus on the wrong thing?
