Jiang Ning seemed to sense something, immediately turned around, and sure enough, he saw Li Yuanyuan, being supported by a palace maid, standing at the doorway.

Huang Ying chastised, “The people of Crystal Clear Manor are becoming more and more lazy. Why didn’t they announce when Concubine Li arrived?”

“Huang Ying, don’t worry about it,” Jiang Ning shook his head at her, signaling her not to continue to stand up for him. He then walked up to Li Yuanyuan, helping her balance as he asked with a smile, “You haven’t fully recovered, why are you out and about?”

Li Yuanyuan lowered her eyes slightly and said softly, “I am sorry if I interrupted at the wrong time, I heard your conversation with the Princess Consort, I realize my mistake.”

“You know it’s wrong, but you continue to listen?” Li Hongyuan finished speaking and rose to leave.

“Your Highness, please punish me.” Li Yuanyuan quickly knelt down.

However, Li Hongyuan had already walked away and ignored her.

“Concubine Li, don’t worry about him, come and sit here,” Jiang Ning led her to the table, picked up a piece of pastry for her, and asked casually, “When you heard me say that I was going to help Princess Ling’an, did that upset you?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Li Yuanyuan accepted the pastry, took a small bite, and slowly said, “I know your nature, Princess Consort, so I won’t hide it from you. I indeed hate Princess Ling’an very much and don’t want you to help her. But I don’t have the right to interfere with your matters, and I know you must have your reasons for doing this. Please don’t consider my feelings.”

Jiang Ning laughed, “You are the Crown Prince’s Side Consort, the second in command in the East Palace, no matter what, I have to consider your feelings.”

If Concubine Li is the second in command, then she, as the Princess Consort, is the first in command.

This means she had directly excluded the Crown Prince from his position.

Upon hearing this, Li Yuanyuan couldn’t help but show a hint of a smile.

“I won’t hide it from you,” Jiang Ning picked up her teacup, took a sip, and waited for the aroma of the tea to waft through her mouth before she continued with a grin, “The reason I want to help Ling’an is also to get Prince of Wutong to do me a favor.”

“I understand. As the Princess Consort, you naturally have your considerations,” Li Yuanyuan nodded.

“Ah, you all seem to feel that persuading her to get married is helping her, is it truly a good thing for her?” Jiang Ning shook her head, “Is it really a good thing to get married?”

Li Yuanyuan, stopping halfway through her pastry, looked puzzled, “Why wouldn’t it be a good thing? I don’t understand.”

“Think about it, what’s Li Ling’an’s temperament?”

“Arrogant and domineering.”

“With such a temperament, in Prince’s residence, she is pampered by her parents, but if she gets married, her in-laws are not like her parents. Can they still spoil her as much?”

Li Yuanyuan thought for a moment, “Indeed, they can’t. The rules have to be set for a new bride.”

“Not to mention her being a princess, even a Grand Princess has to obey her in-laws after marriage, doesn’t she?”

“That’s true, but Prince Wutong is not easy to provoke. Who dares to set rules for his daughter?” A smile crept onto Li Yuanyuan’s face.

Jiang Ning laughed, “Although Prince Wutong is powerful, it doesn’t mean he can monopolize the power in the court, right? We choose a powerful family for Princess Ling’an that even Prince Wutong dare not offend them for her.”

“Does Princess Consort already have a suitable candidate?” Li Yuanyuan asked, interested.

“Yes, but it’s unclear whether they would be willing to marry.”

“For ordinary families, marrying a princess would indeed bring glory to their family,” Li Yuanyuan said with a smile. “However, neither Prince Wutong nor Princess Ling’an would consider an ordinary family.”
