After Yun Jiao sat down, Jianzhang Palace fell into silence.
Every word and action in the harem follows a hierarchy, with the Noble Consort's status being exceedingly high. Normally, only the Imperial Concubine can name others; for anyone else to recklessly address her, they must consider their own standing.
Even Princess Wei, who loves to provoke with her words, dared not to speak lightly.
Since the Empress did not speak, and the Imperial Concubine also remained silent, how could it not become quiet?
Did everyone just come to Jianzhang Palace to sit around idly?
The crowd turned their gaze to the Empress. Some were restless, their mouths opening only to close again.
Yet Consort Xi was entirely oblivious, unaware that she was the cause of this silence.
"Is Consort Xi in a bad mood because looking after the Second Prince is straining?"
The Empress inquired as if casually.
Yun Jiao looked back puzzled: "Not at all. I am in a great mood."
