The Emperor seemed to have grown impatient, frowning as he interrupted Huang Ren: "Lower your voice! It's giving me a headache!"
Huang Ren's impassioned retort abruptly ended, and he quickly knelt down, "Your servant accepts his mistake."
The Emperor's annoyance with the loudness was secondary, he knew the Emperor didn't want to listen anymore.
At this point, Jiang Ning lifted her skirt and stepped over the threshold, "Your child pays her respects to Father Emperor."
She deliberately ignored the Empress.
This was completely against the rules and highly disrespectful.
Huang Ren was somewhat surprised, looking twice at Jiang Ning.
Everyone knew that the current Princess Consort was extremely witty and smooth. She would never act rudely without reason.
Unless, she did it purposely.
Had the infighting in the harem reached such a brazen point?
This was happening right in front of the Emperor and his courtiers!
Huang Ren was undeniably shocked.
