Consort Ning's words, already on the tip of her tongue, were forcefully choked back.
Indeed, they weren't saying she had a slim waist and long legs, or a perky behind; they were talking about her regal and dignified bearing.
What does regal and dignified mean? It means an ample figure.
What does an ample figure mean? It means fat! That's the blunt truth.
If Consort Ning were to throw another fit, she would be denying her own regal and dignified bearing!
How could she allow this!
Therefore, she couldn't say anything! All she could do was grind her teeth and let out a cold laugh.
"Thank you for the compliment, sister!"
Having said this, she stopped paying attention to Xia Ruqing and angrily took her own seat.
Xia Ruqing leisurely took a sip of her tea.
She can only put on airs in front of me! she sneered inwardly.
A quarter of an hour later, the Noble Consort also arrived.
Afterward, the Empress entered, and everyone quickly stood up to pay their respects.
