Consort Lu was filled with resentment, her eyes burning like two flames. She thought to herself, "How biased can he be? Yun Qingyu is his daughter; isn't Yiling his biological daughter too?"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her chest heaved violently as she began to cry, her sobs growing louder. She wanted to say something more to the Emperor, her lips trembling as she tried to persuade him to take her side.
However, the Emperor was already impatient. His brows furrowed like two dark lightning bolts as he waved his hand dismissively, a gesture that carried a sense of dismissal. "Enough, stop your crying. Take good care of Yiling first."
Seeing this, Consort Lu could only grit her teeth, the sound of her teeth clenching echoing in the air as she turned to leave.
Her face was so dark it seemed like rain could pour from it, resembling the ominous clouds before a storm. As she walked away, she tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand, squeezing it with such force that it seemed ready to tear apart. Her fingers turned white from the pressure, and the anger she felt had nowhere to go. Her hatred for Yun Qingyu intensified; she wished she could bite Yun Qingyu just to relieve her frustration, her eyes filled with malice.
Upon returning to Qianqing Palace, the Emperor sat before the Dragon Table, looking somewhat fatigued. He frowned slightly, his eyes half-closed as he turned to his Personal Eunuch, Chen Hai, and spoke softly, "Chen Hai, what do you think is going on?"
Chen Hai quickly bowed deeply, his body bending at a ninety-degree angle in a display of humility as he kept his gaze on the ground. "Old Servant does not dare to speak freely about matters concerning the princesses; please forgive me, Your Majesty."
The Emperor understood the old fox's concerns and waved his hand lightly. "You are forgiven. Speak your mind."
With the Emperor's permission, Chen Hai cautiously began, "In my opinion, Princess Consort has always been straightforward. If she wanted to bully the Six Princess, there would be no need for such a convoluted approach. I heard something a few days ago: Princess Consort left the palace and encountered Six Princess blocking her carriage. At that time, Princess Consort seemed to be in a bad mood and did not want to engage with Six Princess. Unexpectedly, Six Princess knelt down in public before Eldest Princess."
As Chen Hai spoke, he subtly glanced at the Emperor's expression before quickly lowering his head again.
"At that moment, there were many people on the street; their footsteps and chatter created a chaotic atmosphere. Many witnessed this scene and some immediately condemned Eldest Princess for disregarding hierarchy by making her sister kneel down, which caused quite a stir."
Chen Hai continued in a steady voice, methodically recounting the events with an air of caution as if revealing a secret.
The Emperor listened, his brows furrowing even tighter, his expression darkening slightly, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes. "What kind of decorum is it for a princess to kneel in the street?"
Chen Hai respectfully adjusted his posture, sitting up a bit straighter. "Your Majesty is wise. The next day, Censor Ding submitted a memorial, claiming that the Princess Consort was disrespectful and arrogant. Your Majesty must remember that memorial, right?"
A glimmer of shrewdness flickered in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly before quickly returning to their original state as he subtly guided the Emperor's thoughts.
The Emperor nodded gravely, his head moving up and down heavily. A flash of anger crossed his eyes, sharpening his gaze. "Of course I remember. Censor Ding is truly overstepping. There are so many corrupt officials in the court; he rarely impeaches any of them but keeps fixating on Qingyu. I have been too lenient with him."
