Indeed, the person whom the ladies are gossiping about is none other than Situtu Qinger.
Situtu Qinger stood not far away, hearing everyone gossip about her, feeling extrely angry in her heart.
Today she had co to the Imperial Palace with Prince Pu. Since the last incident occurred, she hadn’t dared to et with the ladies, fearing others would point fingers at her behind her back. Initially, she didn’t want to enter the Imperial Palace, but she couldn’t miss such a good opportunity, not knowing when and where she might have the chance to get close to the Fourth Prince again.
She originally planned to bypass the ladies and wait in a corner for the Fourth Prince’s appearance, but their gossip beca increasingly unpleasant, growing louder and more unrestrained. In a burst of anger, she couldn’t bear it any longer and walked over...
"You don’t know the truth, so what nonsense are you spouting?"
The ladies turned their heads to see it was Situtu Qinger and laughed mockingly...
"So people really have thick skin, obviously having done dirty deeds, yet still dare to argue?"
"Exactly, being sisters with her is truly unfortunate, always having to guard against being falsely accused by her."
The ladies didn’t take Situtu Qinger seriously, each taking turns to mock her incessantly.
Situtu Qinger was so angry that her face turned pale. As she lifted her eyes, she happened to see the Fourth Prince leaning on a cane, limping as he walked toward them.
Situtu Qinger was overjoyed and imdiately left the ladies behind, walking up with a face full of joy, without any restraint...
"Fourth Prince, you have finally co, Qinger has been waiting for you for a long ti."
After saying this, she rushed forward to support him.
"Oh dear!"
Who knew, as soon as Situtu Qinger touched the Fourth Prince, he let out a painful cry.
Startled, Situtu Qinger imdiately let go of the Fourth Prince: "Fourth Prince, what happened to you?"
It was then that she noticed the Fourth Prince was covered in bandages, looking entirely like a severely injured person, and moreover, his hands were gripping crutches.
Situtu Qinger was very surprised: "Fourth Prince, what on earth happened to you? We haven’t seen each other for a few days, how did you end up like this?"
The Fourth Prince forced a smile: "It’s nothing, I happened to fall accidentally yesterday."
"The Fourth Prince really lacks a woman to take care of him. If soone were taking care, how would he get hurt?" Situtu Qinger’s words were full of implication.
Situtu Qinger’s interest in him was sothing the Fourth Prince was quite aware of. He had once been infatuated with her beauty, but her lowly status was not a match for him.
Situtu Qinger proactively approached the Fourth Prince, while the surrounding ladies whispered again...
"This woman really has no sha, entering the palace on purpose just to seduce the Fourth Prince."
"Indeed, doesn’t she consider what her status is? A concubine-born daughter dreaming of marrying into the Royal Family, she won’t even pass the Empress’s scrutiny."
Of course, these whispers contained the ladies’ jealousy, they were jealous that Situtu Qinger dared to approach the Fourth Prince actively. Although they secretly wished to, they didn’t dare to act on it, after all, the ladies had their dignity.
At this mont, an eunuch outside loudly announced: "The Empress is here! The Empress is here!"
Everyone imdiately fell silent, stepping toward the entrance to kneel...
"Long live the Empress, long live, long, long live!"
The Empress was lavishly dressed, wearing a pale yellow phoenix robe embroidered with a vivid Phoenix in golden thread, with a Phoenix Crown on her head. Her face was adorned with beautiful makeup, her fingers adorned with long nail guards, exuding a sense of elegance and nobility that inspired awe from afar, not daring anyone to approach.
The Empress glanced over the crowd, and said calmly: "There’s no need to be formal, everyone may rise."
