Chapter 831: Chapter 831: 831: When the Princess Consort is Well, Everyone is Well_1

Li Yuanyuan had prepared some food for her, as well as a hot water cushion and sanitary pads.

“Imperial Physician Dong said that you’ll be bleeding for half a month, you need to rest well, avoid the cold.” Li Yuanyuan cautioned.

Hearing this genuine concern, Jin Man’s eyes began to well up, choking on her words, she said: “I’m glad… I’m glad there is still you in East Palace… there are hearts that aren’t so cold.”

Li Yuanyuan chuckled, “Not everyone is as bad as you imagine. Some just don’t care about you, not really thinking about you, not intent on targeting or harming you. Why bother yourself so much?”

“Is Concubine Li referring to Crown Prince, or the Princess Consort?”

“Both.” Li Yuanyuan tucked Jin Man in, gently adding, “Sister, you should know that I’ve been with Crown Prince longer than anyone, and understand his temperament to some extent. He may seem aloof, but he’s not strict with those around him. As for our Princess Consort, she is the same, somewhat distant, but never malicious. As long as we behave ourselves, the Princess Consort will not mistreat us. Haven’t you seen how well I’ve been all these years?”

Jin Man gazed at her: “Sister, I heard that prior to Princess Consort’s arrival, you were Crown Prince’s favorite woman.”

Li Yuanyuan smirked, “That’s just the rumor outsiders pass around, it doesn’t hold truth. In my opinion, these years, only one deserves the title of being truly loved by Crown Prince, and that’s only the little Princess Lingzi.”

“Doesn’t the Crown Prince also favor Princess Consort? Half the month, he spends his days in Crystal Clear Manor.”

Li Yuanyuan gave a knowing smile, “That might just be… unrequited love.”

“Are you joking, sister?” Jin Man was surprised, “Is it that the Crown Prince loves the Princess Consort, but the Princess Consort doesn’t love the Crown Prince?”

“Given the celestial beauty of Princess Consort, wouldn’t any man’s love for her be unsurprising?”

“I mean…why doesn’t the Princess Consort love Crown Prince? How could anyone resist loving him? He’s so handsome and noble, so mysterious and inaccessible. He…he’s truly mesmerizing, like a celestial being.” Jin Man’s green eyes showed deep bewilderment and disbelief.

Li Yuanyuan watched her infatuated expression, and couldn’t help but laugh, “No wonder you chose to harm yourself to gain the Crown Prince’s attention. You’ve fallen for him.”

“Since we have become the Crown Prince’s women, it’s natural for us to love him. Don’t you love him too, sister?”

Li Yuanyuan laughed, “You call this love?”

“What else then?”

“If you insist on thinking that way, then fine. Now that you have entered East Palace, you have no other hope in this life.” Li Yuanyuan gently patted her hand, “The Crown Prince doesn’t like the East Palace filled with smoke and intrigues, especially Crystal Clear Manor, there can’t be any gossip there. So, you better not annoy the Princess Consort, it wouldn’t do you any good. Let me give you some advice, if the Princess Consort is good, we are good. If she’s not, none of us would lead peaceful days.”

Jin Man appeared thoughtful.

Li Yuanyuan laughed again, “With our statuses, what else can we hope for? With Princess Consort’s easy temperament, we should be content. If we happened to deal with someone difficult, that would be a real hardship.”

Jin Man managed to smile, “Thank you for your advice, and for taking care of me today. I will keep that in mind.”
