Chapter 881: Slap Her Face
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Madam Tao was shocked.
She really didn’t know about this.
Noble Consort Qiao’s reason for inviting the Empress and the others out was very simple.
She wanted everyone to go and support her precious daughter, Nuo’er.
However, although many people were invited, Gu Yihan was unwilling to let so many people go.
He had to be sure that he was the first one his daughter saw.
Empress Du nodded slightly. The black light in her eyes was like an unsheathed sword, but it carried a terrifying coldness.
She only smiled gently, but in her movements and silence. she seemed to have seen through Madam Tao’s intentions.
“Madam Tao, Noble Consort and I are not only close friends who have been together for decades, but we’re also confidants who have gone through thick and thin together.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I’ve always had a good temper, but if you say bad things about Noble Consort
Qiao, it’s equivalent to pointing at my nose and scolding me.”
“I’ll reward you with 30 slaps to teach you a lesson. Your husband has already become a commoner. Under such circumstances, you should be even more careful with your words.”
“Someone, slap her.”
As soon as Empress Du finished speaking, the two old nannies standing at the door went forward.
They pressed down Madam Tao from both sides. Right on the heels of that, Empress Du’s head palace maid went forward and slapped her ruthlessly.
A crisp slap rang out.
Empress Du suddenly said, “Take her outside. I still have to read.”
“Yes!”
The palace servants dragged Madam Tao out.
When the hall door was closed, Madam Tao could still be heard begging for mercy—
“Your Majesty, please spare my life! Aiyo! My face, please spare my life…”
At this moment, Empress Du put down the book and walked to the inner room.
An obedient little figure was lying on her bed with her butt sticking out.
Gu Nuo’er arched the blanket high, revealing only her small head.
She looked out with her big black eyes.
Empress Du couldn’t help but laugh. “It’s all Mother’s fault for waking Baby Nuo up.”
Last night, Gu Nuo’er came to Empress Du’s place to play and freeload.
Later on, the child played till too late and naturally fell asleep at the Empress’s place.
It wasn’t as if something like this had never happened before.
Noble Consort Qiao and Empress Du were as close as sisters. Empress Du even doted on Gu Nuo’er as if she were her daughter.
Gu Nuo’er sat up, her soft black hair immediately draped over her shoulders.
Her pearl-like cheeks were a little red from having just woken up, and her big eyes were bright and clear.
“Empress Mother, that Madam Tao is really bad. She wants to sow discord between you and my mother!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEmpress Du smiled and patted her head.
“Nuo’er is really smart, but do you know why I trust your mother so much?”
Gu Nuo’er shook her head.
Empress Du tapped her small nose twice. “I’ll help you put on your clothes while telling you stories, alright?”
The child immediately agreed softly. “Alright! ”
The Empress carried Gu Nuo’er in her arms and buttoned her inner shirt first.
She said slowly, “Not only did your mother, Qiao Yayu, and I have decades of friendship with me, but the two of us have also experienced many hardships together.”
It turned out that when she first entered the palace, the harem was far less harmonious than now.
The consorts fought for power and benefits, both openly and secretly, wanting to gain the emperor’s favor.
If a woman were to become vicious, she would be the fastest sharp sword in the world used for killing.
Empress Du and Noble Consort Qiao had also been surrounded by many schemes together.
They almost died in the palace battle.
Later on, the two young ladies supported each other and fought their way through the battles.
Noble Consort Qiao helped Empress Du stabilize her position.
However, the Noble Consort at that time wasn’t pregnant yet..
