The two of them fiercely attacked each other's lower bodies.
Slap—
"Do you think I'm easy to deal with?"
Slap—
"You're not only eating at, but also drinking ink!"
Slap—
"Then you're worse, as a concubine in the palace, you even slept with a foreign minister!"
Slap—
"Don't make yourself sound so noble. Haven't you done this less? Throwing yourself at n wasn't enough, you even brought your niece along, truly shaless!"
Slap—
"You, say that again?! I'll smother you!"
"Mmm..."
"Are you a dog? Why are you biting?"
"..."
Both of them were fuming with anger, caring nothing for their status, wrestling like common village won.
As Yu Youhan was affected by the red silk, she couldn't utilize her cultivation, and also had to withstand remote ntal attacks, ending up in a deadlock with the Empress, neither gaining the upper hand.
...
...
Outside the hall door, two "guards" stood diligently on duty.
Sun Senior Palace Lady glanced askance at Xu Qingyi and said, "I hear Director Xu has been very busy lately, not even tending to the palace affairs."
Without looking aside, Xu Qingyi said calmly, "What, is Sun Senior Palace Lady going to punish ?"
The female officer system of the Great Yuan was quite comprehensive, within the palace were six bureaus and one departnt.
Among them, the Palace Justice Departnt and the six bureaus had a parallel relationship, responsible for inspecting violations of palace rules and imposing punishnts, while the Shanggong Bureau mainly guided the Central Palace and managed the six bureaus' docunt and seal affairs.
In terms of rank, Sun Senior Palace Lady commanded female officers, naturally placing her above Xu Qingyi.
But as they were from different departnts, she couldn't directly impose penalties, having to go through the Palace Justice, so Xu Qingyi didn't take her seriously.
"I don't have that power, just reminding you." Sun Senior Palace Lady shook her head, "In your position, you should mind your duties, not revolve around n all day."
Hearing this, Xu Qingyi raised an eyebrow, "What does Sun Senior Palace Lady an by this?"
"Literal aning." Sun Senior Palace Lady said bluntly, "I know the Crown Prince has assigned you to Chen Mo, but this isn't necessarily a good thing for you. So people are not to be trifled with, or else you might invite disaster..."
"Are you threatening ?" Xu Qingyi turned to look at her, her gaze colder.
"I said it's a reminder." Sun Senior Palace Lady t her gaze, eyes as calm as a lake, "But you can see it that way, if disaster really strikes, it will be too late for regrets."
Chen Mo is an aide to Her Majesty the Empress.
Consort Yu may not care, even resorting to compete, but as a Little Si, involving herself would be foolish.
Xu Qingyi's face seed to be covered with a layer of frost, she said in a deep voice, "As people age, they like to lecture, Sun Senior Palace Lady should mind her own business."
Who are you calling old?
Sun Senior Palace Lady's face darkened, her fists clenched tightly in secret.
This woman always used age to taunt her, which was truly annoying!
"Good advice is wasted on soone inviting trouble, when you realize who you're competing with for a man, I hope you're just as defiant!" Sun Senior Palace Lady thought to herself, sneering repeatedly, the air heavy with tension.
"Wait..."
At this mont, Xu Qingyi frowned and said, "Did you hear sothing? It seems like it's coming from the hall?"
"Hmm?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady tilted her head to listen, vaguely hearing slapping sounds and indistinct argunts.
The two exchanged a look, suddenly feeling uneasy.
Could it be that the Empress and the Imperial Consort are fighting?
"Your Highness!"
"Empress!"
They dared not delay, rushing straight into the hall.
Passing through the corridor, they reached the inner hall, and upon seeing the scene before them, they stood frozen in place, lips slightly parted, eyes full of disbelief.
The Empress and the Imperial Consort were indeed fighting, but the scene was truly beyond their expectations.
On the small couch, the two of them were disheveled, hairpins scattered, tangled in a brawl.
Apparently, Consort Yu had gained the upper hand, currently straddling the Empress, spanking her repeatedly.
"Speak!"
"Who is the vixen here!"
"Whimpering..."
The Empress's eyes glistened with tears, struggling weakly.
Seeing Sun Senior Palace Lady, she trembled and said, "You ca just in ti, hurry and protect ! Give this wretched woman a good beating!"
?
Sun Senior Palace Lady's legs nearly gave out, almost kneeling on the ground.
You want to fight Consort Yu alone?
I'd be dead instantly!
Xu Qingyi was equally shocked, though the Empress and the Imperial Consort had been covertly competing over the years, they'd at least maintained basic decorum. How did it suddenly escalate to this?!
As they snapped back to reality, they hurriedly stepped forward to pull their respective mistresses apart.
"Empress, please calm down!"
Xu Qingyi held Yu Youhan's waist.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Sun Senior Palace Lady helped the Empress to the side, concerned, "Should we call an Imperial Physician?"
The Empress gradually cald down, realizing her disheveled state, her oval face flushed red.
This ti she indeed lost significant face!
She rubbed her eyes, whispered, "I'm fine, let's go back first."
With that, she left with Sun Senior Palace Lady's support, limping towards the exit.
As she reached the door, she paused, looking back at Yu Youhan.
She intended to say sothing harsh, but seeing those aquamarine eyes, her backside seed to ache more, so she gathered herself and said, "This ti I let you win, next ti... next ti you won't be so lucky!"
With that, she hurriedly exited the Frozen Sky Palace.
The hall fell silent.
Xu Qingyi swallowed, speaking with difficulty, "Empress, you..."
"Leave," Yu Youhan interrupted.
"Yes." Though filled with countless questions, Xu Qingyi dared not speak further, bowing as she exited.
