“It’s getting late. Everyone disperse and return to your palaces,” the empress dowager said sternly. She then left for the Phoenix Virtuous Hall, supported by Xiangchun, wondering how she hadn’t noticed this girl was so formidable before. Today had certainly opened her eyes!
“Haha, it’s so funny!” Mei Siyu burst into laughter as soon as she returned to her palace. She had been working so hard, and now that she was back, how could she not laugh to her heart’s content?
“Miss, what’s wrong with you? You’re always so strange when you come back!” Xiaorou looked at Mei Siyu, who was laughing uncontrollably, and asked in confusion.
“Haha, Xiaorou, you don’t know. Today I finally got my revenge,” Mei Siyu said, throwing a grape into her mouth happily.
“What revenge?” Xiaorou asked, completely puzzled.
“Your adorable miss pushed Defei into the water. Isn’t that satisfying!” Mei Siyu said.
“Really? Miss, you’re so awesome!” Xiaorou hugged Mei Siyu excitedly.
“Of course,” Mei Siyu patted her chest proudly.
“I don’t know why I’ve been loving grapes lately. Xiaorou, can you bring another plate?” Mei Siyu said helplessly, holding an empty plate.
“Oh,” Xiaorou obediently took the plate and turned to walk out. This was already the fourth time the miss had finished an entire plate of grapes!
In the Yun Xi Hall!
“Your Highness, is this okay?” The maid asked timidly after wrapping Defei in silk.
“Get a towel to wrap my head. Can’t you see my hair is still wet? Go quickly,” Defei said, her beautiful face hidden in the silk, shivering.
The maid hurried away, her head bowed low.
She had been thoroughly humiliated this time, deliberately pushed into the water by Mei Siyu in front of a group of concubines. This was a complete loss of face! No, she must take revenge and return everything to Mei Siyu with interest, making her pay a heavy price for what she did today!
Defei’s pale lips curved slightly, a hint of malice and resentment at the corners of her mouth.
“Xiaorou, you’re so slow. Hurry up and bring it,” Mei Siyu said, assuming it was Xiaorou entering the door, her tone slightly reproachful.
