The Female Psychology PHD Got Time Travelled To The Royal Harem

Chapter 53

This time, she was truly scared, her fingers covering her eyes trembling.

When Jiang Xinyue got up and looked at the Xuanwu Emperor, upon seeing Concubine Su in his embrace, her bright eyes dimmed a little: "Your Majesty, you and Concubine Su are..."

The Xuanwu Emperor pushed Concubine Su away: "There are some things I want to ask you."

Holding another woman in front of Jiang Xinyue always made him feel uncomfortable, though the Emperor himself couldn't pinpoint the exact reason for this discomfort.

Wang Dequan stepped aside, revealing Fang Rumeng's delicate face. Jiang Xinyue was taken aback at first, then her face darkened with anger as she turned her back, her eyes already reddening quickly.

The Xuanwu Emperor had forgotten that he had come to reprimand, only wanting to hug his little darling and comfort her well.

However, the accompanying Concubine Su was rather tactless. Seeing Jiang Xinyue turn away, she thought she had found Jiang Xinyue's weakness and pushed Fang Rumeng forward: "Does Consort Zhen recognize this woman official from the Weaving Bureau?"

Jiang Xinyue couldn't help but roll her eyes. When she turned back, the anger in her eyes was undisguised: "It was just sending you a piece of clothing, even if you didn't recognize that palace brocade, the palace maids around you should have reminded you not to wear it, right? But you still wore it, and you were reprimanded by His Majesty because of it. What does it have to do with me?"

If she were someone who followed the rules, she wouldn't have worn that dress in the first place.

She just wanted to draw attention to herself, but didn't expect to clash with the more beautiful Jiang Xinyue while wearing the same outfit, making herself look like she was trying too hard and incurring the Emperor's displeasure, losing face completely.

So she insisted that someone had wronged her, that she wore it out of ignorance and was innocent.

The Xuanwu Emperor's gaze swept over the palace maids and eunuchs behind Concubine Su. Xi Que was so frightened that she hurriedly lowered her head and knelt on the ground, not speaking or looking up.

Her reaction had already proven that she had indeed reminded Concubine Su, but Concubine Su didn't listen.

Jiang Xinyue had just set a glaringly obvious trap that everyone was aware of, and it was Concubine Su who willingly jumped into it.

"Then why did Consort send a dress that violated the regulations to a concubine?"

Concubine Su bit her lip but still refused to admit defeat: "If you didn't send it, how would this concubine have worn it?"

"Why would I send it? Doesn't Concubine Su have any sense? Do you really want me to say in front of all these people what disgusting thing you did?"

Jiang Xinyue took the puppy from Xi Que and stroked its soft fur, her cold gaze fixed on Concubine Su.

Concubine Su looked uncertain, swallowing hard, like a pumpkin with its mouth sewn shut, unable to say a word.

Xi Que opened her mouth but then closed it, clearly it was her!

The Xuanwu Emperor couldn't understand the undercurrent between the two women, but he could see that Jiang Xinyue had the upper hand, indicating that Concubine Su must have done something to harm Consort Zhen, and Consort Zhen was simply striking back.

Even when taking revenge, she used such a gentle method, attacking the other's character, allowing the person to willingly fall into the trap, but without any intention to harm. It was merely a small lesson.
