Ms. Zhao hesitated a bit: “What if it’s traced back to us…”
“No, it won’t. We won’t go near Crystal Clear Manor during this period, even if the Prince investigates, he won’t find us.” Ms. Fang comforted her, “Besides, we won’t do much, just give her a little push.”
“How do we do that?”
“Like this…” Ms. Fang whispered in her ear.
That day, Jiang Ning was strolling around the courtyard after having a full meal.
She held a crutch and walked slowly.
Although one leg was crippled, if she didn’t move, the other good leg would also be affected.
Every day, she would set aside time and walk by herself.
Just as she was walking, Li Teng came with a food box in her hand, saying that she had made some snacks herself and wanted to let the Princess Consort taste them.
Huang Ying immediately put down her needle and thread, smiling, “Thank you for your kindness, Li Teng.”
She reached out to take the food box.
Jiang Ning said, “You look like you don’t eat mortal food. You can make snacks too?”
“It’s not bragging, but my cooking skills are pretty good. This is an osmanthus cake, with osmanthus from Madam Zhao. I thought it looked so good, I made it. Princess Consort, please taste it and let me know if you like it, so I can make it again.”
“Thank you.” Jiang Ning continued her stroll.
Ms. Li also wisely bowed and withdrew.
Huang Ying picked up the osmanthus cake and called for Chunlai, “Throw it away.”
Chunlai complied and walked out.
Xiachu asked, “Why throw away the perfectly good cake?”
“Forget that our Lady is pregnant now, even if she wasn’t, she wouldn’t eat anything from them. Chunlai poked her forehead, “You, be more vigilant. With you by our Lady’s side, people won’t feel at ease. Don’t think Ms. Li and Ms. Zhao are easy to deal with. Just come to greet, but don’t expect anything else from them.”
Huang Ying laughed, “It’s okay, as long as we have Chunlai with us.”
Tired from walking, Jiang Ning threw away her crutch, sat down in the wheelchair, and waved her hand, “Bring me the snack to have a look.”
“Mistress, you can’t eat it.”
“I just want to look.” Jiang Ning took the box and opened it. The snacks were neatly made but far from exquisite. They could only be described as passable.
Huang Ying and a few maids looked at her anxiously, fearing she would pop a piece into her mouth.
Who knows if Li had added anything extra to the snacks?
Jiang Ning closed the box and said, “Isn’t Li Teng the favorite concubine of the Prince of Yu? How could the Prince not taste the snacks she made personally?”
Huang Ying whispered, “What does Mistress mean?”
“Chunlai, send the snacks to Misty Cloud Pavilion.”
Chunlai immediately brought it over.
The Prince of Yu was in the study, discussing matters with several aides. Hearing that someone from the Princess Consort’s side had sent something over, he couldn’t help but frown.
Why couldn’t this woman just stay quietly in the backyard, preferably not making any noise at all?
Thinking of her made him feel restless.
Hearing her name made him worry about what mischief she was up to.
The attendant said, “It’s Chunlai from Crystal Clear Manor, who brought some snacks for you, Master.”
Li Hongyuan said, “Just leave it here, and don’t come over without a reason to disturb me.”
Chunlai thought, doesn’t Li Teng come by often?
Even her own Princess Consort sending over snacks is not appreciated.
Tsk.
She muttered as she left.
Li Hongyuan was discussing matters with his aides, and lunchtime had been delayed. He casually pushed the snacks to the aides, “Eat these snacks as a filler, and let’s wrap up this discussion.”
The aides didn’t dare to disobey and, indeed, felt hungry, so they reached out for the snacks to eat..
