The Princess Consort Ji had just sat down but stood back up again upon hearing the question from the Empress Dowager Wang, and with a smile, she curtsied and spoke.
"Responding to your majesty, today is New Year's Eve, a time for the whole family to reunite. Even if it were freezing cold, or raining knives, I would still endure it, just hoping to enter the palace and reminisce with your majesty."
This reply was not lacking in sincerity and could be said to have overturned the Empress Dowager Wang's impression of this 'rival.'
The Empress Dowager Wang was shocked.
The Princess Consort Ji would never have been so humble and subservient toward her; had she been possessed?
"Princess Consort Ji, are you alright?" the Empress Dowager Wang glared at her and said, "If you're feeling unwell, shall I have the Imperial Physician come and take your pulse?"
Illness needs treatment, but speaking in such a saccharine manner is truly unnecessary!
The Princess Consort Ji: "..."
