Jiang Ning didn’t want to deal with Mother Qian, but she also didn’t want to have a conflict with the stewardess of the front yard on her first day here.
At this moment, Miaomiao walked over gracefully.
It seemed to be hungry, looking around for its cat bowl.
Jiang Ning smiled and said, “Miaomiao, go check the table for your bowl.”
Miaomiao was very obedient and instantly jumped onto the table, knocking over the medicine bowl with one paw.
Mother Qian exclaimed and frowned, “What an unruly cat, running around here. I’ll have someone catch it, break its legs, and throw it out!”
Jiang Ning’s brow raised slightly.
Huang Ying noticed and sneered at Mother Qian, “You’re so intimidating. Break its legs and throw it out? Even a big dog needs to mind its owner. This cat was brought by the Princess Consort, who dares to touch it?”
Mother Qian hurriedly slapped her cheek, “Look at my big mouth. I misspoke for a moment. Please don’t take it to heart, Your Highness. It’s alright that the medicine spilled. I’ll bring you another bowl.”
Jiang Ning waved for Miaomiao to jump onto her lap, softly stroking its fur, and said indifferently, “I don’t have much appetite today. I don’t want to drink the medicine.”
“But this is the Prince’s order.”
“I am the Princess Consort.” Jiang Ning calmly looked at her.
Mother Qian grudgingly replied, “In that case, I’ll report back to the Prince.”
After she left, Chunlai angrily cursed, “This old thing relies on her seniority and didn’t even bow to our Princess Consort. She really sees herself as the Master! It’s infuriating!”
Huang Ying said lightly, “There’s no point in getting angry. These people just go with the flow. On the Princess Consort’s first day, the Prince rewarded her with the conception-avoidance soup. It’s clear that the Prince is not fond of our Princess Consort. If so, they naturally won’t try to please her. After all, in their hearts, the real Master of this mansion is the Prince alone. Everyone else depends on his favor to live.”
Jiang Ning smiled, “Sister Huang Ying, you’ve grown insightful after spending years in the palace.”
Huang Ying chuckled, “Your Highness, the truth is, don’t take it to heart. Otherwise, you’ll have many days ahead of you full of anger. It’s not worth it. In the Prince’s Mansion, it’s most crucial to let things go.”
“I know.”
Yesterday, on the day of the Princess Consort’s official entrance, that unworthy Miss Li even dared to send someone to invite Prince Yu over. This is pure disrespect to the Princess Consort.
It was even more outrageous, considering she wasn’t even a palace maid yet.
But let alone others,
Jiang Ning didn’t care about such trivial matters and certainly wouldn’t get jealous or angry over them.
After all, she didn’t like Li Hongyuan.
And she didn’t plan to like him either.
But life has to go on.
She tidied up, had dinner as her priority.
While eating, Prince Yu arrived.
He was followed by Mother Qian, who was holding the medicine.
Huang Ying and the other maids’ expressions weren’t too good. They looked somewhat nervous.
“Put the bowl down and leave.” Li Hongyuan said coldly.
Only two people remained in the room.
“Drink it.” He looked at her coldly.
“No.”
“No one in this mansion has ever defied my orders.”
“Well, I might be the first then.” Jiang Ning replied unhurriedly, “Your Highness, you do indeed have absolute authority in this mansion, but don’t forget the purpose of marrying me. Hurting me would probably not benefit you.”
He married her solely to show the Emperor and plan for his future.
This was well understood by both of them.
Li Hongyuan said coldly, “You schemed against me, and I will not hold it against you. But I won’t allow you to bear my child..”
