“What’s wrong?” Lin Wei Xi retracted her smile and looked coldly at Granny Zhao, “does the menu have to follow a golden rule? Even the law of the Dali Temple could be changed. Can the Prince Yan Residence’s feast menu not be changed?”

“But this was something that Princess Consort Shen decided… “

Lin Wei Xi’s eyes turned cold and her voice sounded like ice hitting jade, “Am I not the Princess Consort now?”

Granny Zhao was completely speechless. She looked at Gao Ran and appealed for help, “Shizi Fei, this old slave is lowly and isn’t taken seriously. Please persuade the Princess Consort.”

The estate Granny followed Granny Zhao’s line of sight, only just realizing that Shizi Fei was also there. She burst out into cold sweat and felt incredibly ashamed. She hurriedly knelt down to salute, “This slave greets Shizi Fei. May Shizi Fei be in good health.”

The estate Granny was sweating as she kowtowed. Actually, no one could blame her. Lin Wei Xi sat in the middle of the room and looked gorgeous. The entire room full of rich and luxurious decorations weren’t as dazzling as her. The estate granny was shocked by such a brilliant fairy-like person and didn’t notice the person next to her. In fact, upon closer inspection, one could recognize Gao Ran. She was gorgeously dressed with golden hairpins and jade in her hair, completely different from a maid. But Lin Wei Xi looked too magnificent. The estate Granny was so surprised by the new Princess Consort that she secretly glanced at her multiple times and unconsciously thought that everyone around were her servants. As a result of her negligence, she left out Shizi Fei by mistake.

If this estate Granny had known her place and only responded when questioned, Gao Ran could pretend that this Granny wasn’t able to find an appropriate time to greet her because Lin Wei Xi had prevented her from doing so. However, this woman first looked like she’d seen a ghost, and then hurriedly knelt down to kowtow. Gao Ran was very embarrassed by her actions. In her embarrassment, Gao Ran became increasingly angry. Was this woman so daring that she regarded her as Lin Wei Xi’s maid?

But it was bad for Gao Ran to flare up in front of so many people, so she could only force a smile as she ordered the Granny to stand up, “It’s fine, you’re too nervous. Neglecting your etiquette can sometimes happen.”

The estate Granny started to cold sweat. She got up and smiled, “It’s this old slave who was rude. Please don’t blame me Shizi Fei.”
