Princess Consort Ji's sudden appearance left everyone present in a daze.
Shen Bijun's brows furrowed as she studied her.
Princess Consort Ji remained kneeling, performing a half-kowtow.
As a Princess Consort, she was essentially half Jing Zhen's wife, which, by convention, meant she should not have been paying any tribute to Shen Bijun.
But within the royal family, the status of a princess and a prince was higher than that of the princess consorts; hence, in the absence of Bijun's identity being revealed, Ji's willingness to perform a half-kowtow was indeed very cautious and circumspect.
Shen Bijun scrutinized Princess Consort Ji.
Compared with the strikingly beautiful Princess Consort Luo, she seemed much more plain and unremarkable in appearance, and her demeanor was not particularly impressive; she certainly did not exude the air of a lady from noble origins, unlike Luo Sha and Yan Rushuang.
