บท 1302: Friendly Auntie Fu

The Princess Consort held the utmost importance among the guests, earning her the privilege of arriving last. As she meticulously prepared herself, Qiao Xuan, unaware of her status, arrived at the East Palace.

Caught in the midst of dressing up, she lacked the time to fully entertain Qiao Xuan. Their initial exchange consisted of a few polite pleasantries, after which she swiftly dispatched a maid to guide Qiao Xuan to the tea hall.

However, Auntie Fu intercepted their path, extending a warm and courteous greeting.

Qiao Xuan remained unfazed by the Princess Consort's demeanor. She was well aware of her elevated position and understood why the Princess Consort might view her with a hint of condescension. After all, she lacked the backing of a prestigious family name.

With indifference, she continued to abide by the rules, harboring no aspirations to partake in the Princess Consort's family wealth or favor. Thus, she refrained from ingratiating herself.
