Ms. Zhao hesitated a bit: âWhat if itâs traced back to usâ¦â
âNo, it wonât. We wonât go near Crystal Clear Manor during this period, even if the Prince investigates, he wonât find us.â Ms. Fang comforted her, âBesides, we wonât do much, just give her a little push.â
âHow do we do that?â
âLike thisâ¦â 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 didnât 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, âThank you for your kindness, Li Teng.â
She reached out to take the food box.
Jiang Ning said, âYou look like you donât eat mortal food. You can make snacks too?â
âItâs 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.â
âThank you.â Jiang Ning continued her stroll.
Ms. Li also wisely bowed and withdrew.
Huang Ying picked up the osmanthus cake and called for Chunlai, âThrow it away.â
Chunlai complied and walked out.
Xiachu asked, âWhy throw away the perfectly good cake?â
âForget that our Lady is pregnant now, even if she wasnât, she wouldnât eat anything from them. Chunlai poked her forehead, âYou, be more vigilant. With you by our Ladyâs side, people wonât feel at ease. Donât think Ms. Li and Ms. Zhao are easy to deal with. Just come to greet, but donât expect anything else from them.â
Huang Ying laughed, âItâs okay, as long as we have Chunlai with us.â
Tired from walking, Jiang Ning threw away her crutch, sat down in the wheelchair, and waved her hand, âBring me the snack to have a look.â
âMistress, you canât eat it.â
âI just want to look.â 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, âIsnât Li Teng the favorite concubine of the Prince of Yu? How could the Prince not taste the snacks she made personally?â
Huang Ying whispered, âWhat does Mistress mean?â
âChunlai, send the snacks to Misty Cloud Pavilion.â
Chunlai immediately brought it over.
The Prince of Yu was in the study, discussing matters with several aides. Hearing that someone from the Princess Consortâs side had sent something over, he couldnât help but frown.
Why couldnât 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, âItâs Chunlai from Crystal Clear Manor, who brought some snacks for you, Master.â
Li Hongyuan said, âJust leave it here, and donât come over without a reason to disturb me.â
Chunlai thought, doesnât 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, âEat these snacks as a filler, and letâs wrap up this discussion.â
The aides didnât dare to disobey and, indeed, felt hungry, so they reached out for the snacks to eat..
