The sudden appearance of Princess Consort Ji left everyone present stunned.
Shen Ruojing frowned as she scrutinized her. Princess Consort Ji remained kneeling, performing a half-bow.
As the princess consort, she was considered half of Jingzhen's wife, so she should not have given a bow to Shen Ruojing as a matter of protocol.
However, within the royal family, the status of princesses and princes was indeed higher than that of princess consorts.
Therefore, although Shen Ruojing did not reveal her identity, it was indeed a prudent and respectful gesture for Princess Consort Ji to perform a half-bow.
Shen Ruojing examined Princess Consort Ji.
Compared to the glamorous Princess Consort Luo, she appeared plain and unremarkable, with a mediocre appearance and a less-than-impressive demeanor. At least, she did not look like a young lady from a noble family like Luo Sha or Yan Rushuang.
