The weather was fine today. The sun shone brightly outside, but a gentle breeze blew through the waterside pavilion, ruffling the white curtains.
"... Serves the Noble Consort right. She always puts on airs and looks down on everyone, and she even tried to harm Second Miss Lu just now. Thank goodness the Emperor reacted quickly, or else the consequences would have been unimaginable. His Majesty let her off lightly by banishing her to the Cold Palace. I say that she should be hacked to death." The Pure Consort spoke with indignation.
Lu Liangwei continued to eat gracefully without interrupting.
The Virtuous Consort shot the Pure Consort a sidelong glance. "Must you talk about such nasty stuff while eating, Pure Consort? Second Miss Lu is still young; we should not scare her."
The Pure Consort glanced at Lu Liangwei a little sheepishly. "I just can't stand the Noble Consort's behavior. She almost hurt Second Miss Lu."
Lu Liangwei still did not speak.
