Li Hongyuan lightly stroked his head, not saying a word.
“Fifth Imperial Uncle,”
“Hmm?”
“Can I visit Little Aunt often?”
“Xiaoqian likes Little Aunt?”
“Very, very much.”
“…Alright.”
“Yay!” Li Tingqian cheered up.
Li Hongyuan was infected by his happiness, smiling and patting him on the back: “Go to sleep, Uncle will pick you up tomorrow morning and take you back to the palace.”
After watching Xiaoqian fall asleep, Li Hongyuan walked out and glanced back in the direction of the main room.
There was still light inside the room.
This woman, who was pregnant, was still reading so late at night, and he didn’t know if she was reading some messy, erotic novels.
He returned to his own courtyard, just as Li Teng arrived.
“It’s late, and my lord must be tired,” Ms. Li wrung a towel for him, “Let me wipe your face, I have prepared some bird’s nest soup, have a taste.”
Li Hongyuan walked straight into the room and asked, “Why have you come so late?”
“I’m in charge of the household affairs, and there are some things I need to consult with you.”
“What is it?”
“Now that the Princess Consort is back, should we provide the usual supplies to Crystal Clear Manor?”
“It’s not like it’s her first day living here, just follow the previous practice.”
“But…” Ms. Li hesitated, “There is no record of any supplies provided to Crystal Clear Manor in the accounts.”
“What do you mean?” Li Hongyuan looked at her.
Her gaze turned cold, causing Ms. Li to lower her head involuntarily, not daring to look directly at him.
“I’ve checked it, Madam Zhao used to manage the inner courtyard, and never supplied Crystal Clear Manor with a single penny.”
“What did Crystal Clear Manor use before?”
“It is said that the Princess Consort used her own private funds. Even the monthly wages of the two servants who came with her dowry were paid by the Princess Consort privately. The daily expenses for the Princess Consort’s food, clothing, and other needs were all paid for by her, and she sent servants to purchase them.”
Li Hongyuan was silent for a while before saying indifferently, “From now on, provide Crystal Clear Manor with supplies as usual. Also, cut Madam Zhao’s supplies by half.”
“I’ll remember.”
“You can go, I still have official business to deal with.”
“My lord, please rest early. I’ll take my leave.”
Ms. Li was gentle and obedient, turning around and leaving.
She didn’t show any displeasure at Prince not coming to her room.
Although she had been in the mansion for a while, even though she had been promoted to Li Teng, Prince had never been to her room.
But she was in no hurry.
There was plenty of time.
As long as Prince had her in his heart, cared for her, she was not in a hurry.
The next day, Li Hongyuan took Nanny Wei to the palace.
Nanny Wei knelt in front of Concubine Jin, sobbing as she recounted her humiliating experience, and claimed that she couldn’t live with this shame.
Having been in the palace for so many years, she still had some dignity in front of the concubine, but the new Princess Consort had humiliated her so.
What was the point of living?
Concubine Jin was cracking melon seeds on the couch.
“The Princess Consort of Yu stripped off your clothes?”
“Yes.”
“And threw you naked into Prince Yu’s courtyard?”
“…Yes.” Thinking of the scene last night, Nanny Wei shivered with anger.
Concubine Jin looked up at her son: “Your wife is quite impressive.”
Li Hongyuan said, “Jiang Ning is out of line, causing trouble for Mother Concubine.”
“This palace doesn’t care, as long as she didn’t throw a naked old woman in front of me. What about you, did you see?”
“…” Li Hongyuan seemed to have grown accustomed to his concubine mother’s words, his face expressionless, “It was dark, I didn’t see anything.”
“Oh dear..” Concubine Jin patted the melon seed shells on her hand, took a drink from her teacup, “So what are you here for? Don’t you know I’m busy?”
