Yun Jiao didn't, the Emperor asked, so she had to speak.
When others bullied her, did she still have to keep it a secret for them? Not only did she want to apply eye medicine, but she also wanted to add pepper to it. If the Emperor got annoyed because he thought she was being spiteful, then he wasn't that good anyway. In short, she didn't care what men thought.
Yun Jiao had considered many possibilities, but she never expected that the Emperor would laugh.
"What is the Emperor laughing about?" Yun Jiao was puzzled.
"She is highly esteemed as the Empress of a nation, having long established an unbeatable position in the harem. Even if I favor you, and one day raise you to the rank of a concubine, your clothes, food, expenses, and status can never surpass hers. Yet she resorts to such childish pranks to deal with you," Xie Zhixing paused, a thin smile playing on his lips. "I just find it amusing."
The Empress wasn't wrong; he indeed had a distaste for foolishness.
