章 285: Tea Party (XII)

"I remember it. There was a huge commotion at His Highness' birthday banquet, and everyone was embarrassed by the Crown Princess's actions of not following the royal palace etiquette and eating before His Majesty. I always thought that she was rude and shameless, but who would have thought that it was because she was starving for more than 2 days?" One of the ladies blurted out, initiating the discussion.

"Now, thinking about it, the Princess looked quite weak and pale that day. It was because she was sick and hadn't eaten anything for such a long period."

"At that time, I thought Lady Chang Ah was commendable for admitting her daughter's faults and scolding her in public. But now, thinking about it, she said all of that despite knowing in which condition the Princess attended the Banquet. How can she be so heartless?"
