After a good while, Cui Laner managed to compose herself a bit, her eyes trembling as she carefully looked up at the two people who were ignoring her.
At this moment, everyone had just been savoring the idea of fruits and melons abound, filling the courtyard with fragrance, while Lian Hua stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cui Laner neatly knelt and prostrated herself, beseechingly apologizing to Consort De, "Your servant knows her mistake, and begs for Consort De's grace. Please do not trouble yourself over your servant's fault, I plead for your mercy."
"The one you should be apologizing to is not me," Consort De calmly responded, without so much as glancing in her direction.
She had a smile on her face as she watched Lian Hua eat the cake, looking very content, "Take it easy, there's plenty more; no one's competing with you for it."
