The Princess Consort of the Northern Commandery, having finally recovered after resting for a while, saw that no one could suppress Jin Luoluo, and her anger flared up once more.
“Your Majesty the Empress, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but this Jin Luoluo is truly too vulgar. She has absolutely no palace etiquette whatsoever. A woman like this is unfit to bear the responsibility of becoming a princess consort.”
Jin Luoluo secretly nodded to herself: Yes, yes, yes! It would be best if they drove me out altogether. This sharp-tongued Princess Consort of the Northern Commandery has finally done something good for once.
The Empress’s brows furrowed almost imperceptibly, though she still maintained her noble and graceful demeanor.
Naturally, she stood on Jin Luoluo’s side. Although Jin Luoluo’s behavior was somewhat bizarre and her words somewhat vicious, only a woman like this could truly stand above the crowd and avoid being bullied by anyone.
With her around, if Che’er encountered difficulties in the future, she would be able to stand on her own and help him through them.
Jin Luoluo was far superior to the arrogant young ladies in the hall who only knew how to compose poetry and play musical instruments.
The Empress smiled with dignified elegance. “It is merely a banquet game. Why should the Princess Consort of the Northern Commandery stoop to arguing with a junior?”
“But she insulted us and showed no respect for royal dignity,” the Princess Consort refused to let the matter go and immediately slapped a huge accusation onto Jin Luoluo.
Jin Luoluo’s eyes lit up brightly, secretly applauding: Well done! Keep belittling me to death!
Every change in Jin Luoluo’s expression was noticed by Xiao Luo, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Che nearby.
Xiao Luo found it hard not to laugh. What kind of girl became this delighted when others openly insulted her? Clearly, this had been the ultimate goal behind all her outrageous troublemaking throughout the entire evening.
Xiao Yu, meanwhile, felt both annoyed and amused. Although he disliked hearing the Princess Consort insult her so harshly, since this was exactly what Jin Luoluo wanted, he could not very well ruin her plans.
Only Xiao Che felt a burning frustration in his heart.
Earlier, when he saw Jin Luoluo indirectly insulting Yang Ruoyao, his feelings had been indescribably conflicted.
Although he was angry at her for going too far and refusing to leave Yang Ruoyao any dignity, this matter had originally been started by Ruoyao herself, so he could not fully direct his anger at Jin Luoluo.
And now she was deliberately offending everyone possible, then standing off to the side afterward as if waiting to inspect the results of her handiwork.
She had obviously planned from the beginning to ruin the engagement. Thinking back to how he had just wanted to help her deal with everyone’s provocations, the whole thing felt like a silent mockery.
But this time, he absolutely would not let her get her way.
