Chapter 2431: Again
Chapter 2431: Again
“Thank you for your kindness, Empress!”
“Thank you, Empress!”
“It’s our honor!”
A new dynasty had been established, and the new ruler had ascended the throne. Unlike many previous changes of power, this transition was marked by a surprising degree of restraint. Innocent lives were spared, and aside from the trusted aides of the Fourth Prince and those loyal to Ms. Qin’s royal family who were removed from their positions, the majority of people were left unharmed. The most significant change was the demotion of some high officials to make way for the new administration.
This outcome was a testament to the gentleness with which the new dynasty approached the shift in power. Additionally, many talented individuals were promoted, providing hope and confidence for the future. As long as they fulfilled their duties, their prospects remained bright.
Under such favorable conditions, many seized the opportunity to flatter the Empress and make a good impression.
As Qiao Xuan spoke, numerous voices chimed in with smiles, and the atmosphere grew lively.
However, just then, someone burst in from outside, shouting furiously, “Empress? What Empress! Ms. Qiao, who do you think you are? How dare you call yourself Empress! You’re nothing but thieves trying to steal the empire! Ms. Qiao, you’ll get what you deserve!”
“Ah!”
“It is Princess Consort Fu!”
“Why is she here?!”
Everyone was shocked. They turned to Qiao Xuan and looked away.
This was too awkward…
Everyone did not want to see this commotion at all!
Apart from the Tian family, of course.
A gloating smile flashed across Madam Tian’s eyes. She was originally feeling embarrassed, but now, she was interested in today’s Flower Appreciation Feast.
Tian Shanshan’s satisfaction grew as she watched the scene unfold. She had worked hard to secretly bring the former Princess Consort into the limelight, and now the former Princess Consort was delivering a dramatic performance.
The former Princess Consort stormed in, her eyes blazing with anger as she glared at Qiao Xuan. The sight of Shao Yunduan’s golden crown and dragon robe had already deeply affected her. Today, Qiao Xuan was wearing a stunning phoenix robe and crown, symbols of her high status.
This should have been hers! It was meant to be hers!
In her eyes, Ms. Qiao and Shao Yunduan were mere servants compared to the Crown Prince. How dare they claim such grandeur?
In a fit of rage, the former Princess Consort overturned the vases on the table and shouted at Qiao Xuan with a voice strained from emotion.
Qiao Xuan regarded her coldly.
Earlier, while discussing plans for the Flower Appreciation Feast with Shao Yunduan, they had debated whether to address the presence of the former Princess Consort in the event. Shao Yunduan had advised against it, suggesting that if someone wanted to cause trouble due to the former Princess Consort’s presence, they would simply deal with it during the feast.
The person behind her had clearly orchestrated this scene to expose the flaws in their security.
After all, they had only recently entered the capital and the palace. It was inevitable that some details would be overlooked.
This was not necessarily a problem. Revealing these weaknesses and catching the troublemakers would be more effective than investigating the matter independently.
Breathing heavily with rage, the former Princess Consort saw that Qiao Xuan remained unperturbed. Her frustration grew, and she tried to physically confront Qiao Xuan, shouting, “This is not your place! Get away from me!”
