Princess Consort was growing increasingly irritated.
She had never anticipated such behavior from the Fourth Princess Consort.
Shao Yunduan served the Crown Prince, while the Fourth Princess Consort presented gifts to Qiao Xuan. It left her bewildered. What was happening here?
Whether or not this individual was the spy dispatched by the Fourth Prince's household was beside the point. Xiang Rui possessed beauty and an appealing figure. She couldn't possibly be foolish to have been chosen by the Fourth Princess Consort. The uncertainty of her intentions weighed on Princess Consort's mind.
Neither Shao Yunduan nor Qiao Xuan could simply dismiss her. On the contrary, they had to treat her well because of her title bestowed upon her by the Fourth Princess Consort.
Princess Consort had nothing to fear. If an opportunity arose for her to gain favor with Shao Yunduan, she could consider taking Xiang Rui as a concubine. Why not?
