Chapter 2535 - 2535 Long Time No See!
2535 Long Time No See!
Qiaoqiao and the Kang Prince Consort ‘chatted away happily’ for a good while until the servants came to announce the Zheng Prince Consort’s arrival.
Only then did everyone breathe a sigh of relief. They mopped their foreheads as they muttered inwardly. They finally freakin’ didn’t need to listen to the Kang Prince Consort and the crown prince consort’s awkward conversation anymore…
It truly was enough!
What in the world were they chatting about?
Whenever women got together, shouldn’t they be talking about which jewelry shop in the capital just opened, or that Butterfly Pavilion was now serving a certain dish that could improve one’s looks?!!
Shouldn’t it be like that?
However, the Kang Prince Consort and the crown prince consort’s awkward conversation encompassed everything, jumping around way too much…
The Zheng Prince Consort was holding a girl by the hand as they intimately walked in together.
Everybody found it rather peculiar.
It was common knowledge that the Zheng Prince Consort had plain looks. She had sunken temples, a thin and pointy nose, and a large mouth.
Even saying that she had plain looks was flattering her. She was actually kind of ugly…
The Zheng Prince Consort’s innate harsh and merciless appearance normally made her a topic of gossip.
As such, what she hated the most was walking together with pretty women, but today, this girl beside her was slim and graceful. She was elegant and beautiful, and her flowing white dress further accentuated her milky skin.
Qiao Mu looked at them coldly.
Precisely speaking, she was looking at… the top of the girl’s head.
She recognized this hairpin, or she should say, she had a deep impression of this hairpin.
This five-fortune ruyi hairpin was Shi Yongqian’s favorite. She wore it every day and everywhere.
Qiao Mu clenched her fists tightly as she stared frigidly at this girl in a flowy white dress.
Shi Yongqian!
Long time no see!
I have returned. Are you shocked? Surprised?
Shi Yongqian felt as if a venomous snake had fixated on her. She furrowed her long eyebrows and inadvertently looked up toward that sharp gaze.
She couldn’t help being dazzled by the little lady’s appearance.
Shi Yongqian thought that her skin was fair and supple enough, yet the truth was that she did not have any comparison.
Standing in front of the little lady now, she immediately lost out.
Her looks and milky skin which she prided herself on was simply not worth a mention in front of the little lady!
Shi Yongqian took a deep breath and did her best to maintain her smile. She curtsied the Kang Prince Consort along with the Zheng Prince Consort. They spoke tenderly, “Greetings to the Kang Prince Consort.”
The Kang Prince Consort nodded. She cordially but distantly allowed them to rise. She grasped Qiao Mu’s hand and immediately introduced affectionately, “Child, meet your sister-in-law the Zheng Prince Consort. Her husband, the Zheng Prince, is the emperor’s adopted son, Mo Xikang. This should be your first time meeting.”
“Greetings to the crown prince consort.” The Zheng Prince Consort’s eyes flickered as she saluted with a smile.
“Greetings to the Zheng Prince Consort.” Since the Zheng Prince Consort was nominally her sister-in-law, Qiao Mu naturally wouldn’t make her give a full salute. Otherwise, other people would criticize her for being aloof and ill-mannered.
Qiao Mu also gave her a semi-salute.
“Greetings to the crown prince consort.” On the side, Shi Yongqian also quickly gave a salute.
However, because of her conceit due to her family background, she was extremely prideful. She bobbed down for less than a second before standing up straight again.
This kind of salute was merely a formality. Normally, no one would launch an attack toward a noble daughter from a patrician family, yet who knew…
“Who let you stand up?”
