Sixth Prince Fu Yuanjin was already in a foul mood when Empress Gu summoned him to Peony Palace without giving any reason, only to berate him vehemently upon his arrival.
He was annoyed too, "If Mother has such ability, why not just ask Father to decree that Zhong Qiao be given to me as a Side Consort? Wouldn't that be faster?"
"You—"
Choked by her son's retort, Empress Gu trembled with rage!
Sixth Prince Fu Yuanjin, still seething with anger, said, "Zhong Qiao, such a shameless person, I absolutely refuse to take her. If Mother has nothing else, your son must take his leave!"
"You stand still! Can your mother not even say a few words to you? Tell me, didn't you say Minister Zhong's attitude towards you was quite acceptable a few days ago? How come such a thing suddenly erupted today?"
"How would your son know? I am not a deity!"
Sixth Prince Fu Yuanjin was still indignant, driven mad by the sensation of being duped.
