Just now, Consort Liu had helped her up, but the assistance felt completely different from what Xu Zhaoyi offered.
Xu Zhaoyi's gestures seemed more spontaneous, as if doing it simply because she wanted to, offering a word of comfort while she was feeling awful, without dragging things out or expecting gratitude, and suggesting she take some time to play which didn't sound like empty words, although she never went—feeling uneasy about going with empty hands.
The actions of Consort Liu, on the other hand, seemed more superficial, her words tender and friendly, but her demeanor was always aloof, except for that brief moment of assistance, her other actions were distant, and moreover, it was only after her servant had done everything that she stepped forward to stop anything further, which seemed more like a pretense.
