A large group of flamboyant won, each with expressions of genuine emotion, all looked at Mo Shu with deep affection and regret in their eyes.
Among them, the most intense expressions and emotions belonged to the Empress leading the group.
The Empress stepped forward, reaching Mo Shu, and with her jade-like hand adorned with long finger sleeves, she placed it on the back of Mo Shu’s hand.
Ignoring that Mo Shu was holding a child at the mont, she looked at her affectionately and said, "Eldest Princess..."
Tears flowed before she could speak.
The Empress seed on the verge of fainting, which made Mo Shu a bit concerned, kindly reminding, "Is the Empress feeling unwell?"
The Empress wiped her tears, "Thank you, Eldest Princess, for your concern. I am fine, just that I haven’t seen you for many days, and recently I’ve often heard rumors about you..."
The maid beside the Empress imdiately stepped forward to assist, wiping her tears and saying, "Eldest Princess, the Empress has been worried after hearing rumors about you, losing her appetite and unable to sleep, she’s even lost weight. Fortunately, you have finally returned..."
The Empress cooperated extrely well, "There is no place for you to speak here; you are becoming more and more insolent!"
The maid was filled with sincere fear and terror as she kneeled to beg for forgiveness, but there was little genuine reverence in her heart.
It was all just an act. In this place, which of the concubines isn’t an expert in such gas?
Not only the Empress and her maid, but even the group of won behind the Empress didn’t take her seriously; they were rely acting in front of the Emperor.
This was a rare chance to exhibit their kindness and gentleness, a chance none of them wanted to miss.
The maid seized the opportunity, and the Empress was quite satisfied.
The Eldest Princess, who usually valued her image and appearance, had just returned from the ordinary folks, and was bound to present herself in a submissive and considerate manner, imdiately forgiving her. The maid was already fantasizing about the good days ahead with her mistress.
Mo Shu curved her lips slightly and glanced at the maid kneeling on the ground. Just when both the Empress and the maid thought she would speak in favor of the maid, Mo Shu said slowly, "Indeed, lacking a bit in manners."
As her words fell, both the Empress and the maid felt a thud in their hearts.
What is with this Eldest Princess?
In front of so many court officials and guards, is she going to cause the present Empress to lose face?
The expression on the Empress’s face instantly froze. This maneuvering Empress suddenly couldn’t grasp which palace intrigue route the Eldest Princess was on.
Looking at the Empress, Mo Shu said sincerely, "Mother must be too gentle usually, which is why she allows such a lack of manners in her. She must be properly disciplined in the future."
The Empress’s face turned purple.
Wasn’t Mo Shu’s words implying that she lacked the dignity of an Empress?
If she couldn’t manage her palace’s people properly, how could she claim to govern the Six Palace!
An unnad anger surged within the Empress, and she clutched Mo Shu’s hand, almost wanting to pinch it tightly!
Ultimately, she suppressed this impulse, and as the Empress was about to speak, she heard Mo Shu gasp, stepping back.
Those nearby were already observing, and now they were fascinated by the unfolding gossip here.
They all saw Mo Shu clutching her hand, looking frightened, as if she had been startled, saying, "Mother... did I say sothing wrong? Why did you pinch ?"
