Huai En also became happy, "Master is wise." Saying this, he quietly let out a huge sigh of relief, thankful that the Prince had not been rashly stirred up by the Princess Consort and acted hot-headed—otherwise, with the return of the Little Prince, a storm was certain to ensue.
The next day, when Luo Qiong received the delivered fruits and vegetables, her mouth hung open in surprise.
This was not at all what she had expected!
"Send someone to inquire about this, see what exactly happened?"
Daohua and Luo Qiong learned the truth almost at the same time.
After Daohua came to know, it was a mix of amusement and speechlessness; she waved off Ping Ji’s wife and acted as if she knew nothing of the matter.
A bit of fruit and vegetables really weren’t a big deal to her, but the action of Prince Ping had made her quite pleased.
However, Luo Qiong’s mood was not so beautiful. Her father, who always coveted pleasure, was willing to compromise himself to avoid conflict with Pingxi Hall, which made her even more wary of Xiao Yeyang and Daohua.
....
Due to her pregnancy, Luo Qiong’s treatment in the Prince Residence greatly improved, but for this, Princess Consort Ma also restricted her freedom, forbidding her from leaving the residence.
Luo Qiong was so frustrated she could only take strolls within the Prince Residence.
When she passed by the Hundred Flowers Garden, she saw Daohua leading Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong in admiring the flowers, and her gaze couldn’t help but flicker.
"The second sister-in-law is quite capable, so quickly climbing up to Princess Huijia and Governor Wu."
The nanny sent by Duchess Wei to look after Luo Qiong’s pregnancy said with a smile: "Miss, you’ve grown up in luxury and don’t understand these people born of humble backgrounds."
"They love to strive, the moment they see an opportunity, they won’t let notions of propriety, justice, integrity, or shame stand in their way of climbing up."
"That Yan Family girl could marry into the Prince Residence only because she first caught Xiao Yeyang’s heart; otherwise, with the countless maidens of Beijing, how would it have been her turn to become sisters-in-law with you, Miss?"
Luo Qiong faintly smiled: "Being able to captivate a man’s heart is also a skill. Let’s go and say hello."
Daohua had noticed Luo Qiong earlier, and seeing her approach, exchanged a helpless look with Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong.
Because of Yan Yile’s incident, her relationship with the two of them had become somewhat closer than before, and they often visited each other when they had free time.
When Luo Qiong got closer, Daohua smiled and said, "Eldest sister-in-law, why aren’t you resting in your room?"
Luo Qiong responded with a smile, "I was bored staying in the room, so I came out for a walk." Then, looking at Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong, "I’m not disturbing you, am I?"
Both Kang Naixin and Wu Xirong shook their heads with a smile.
Due to Luo Qiong’s arrival, the conversation between Daohua and the other two changed from the gossip about various families in Beijing to discussing flowers and plants.
During the conversation, the three did not intentionally ignore Luo Qiong, but neither did they actively invite her to join.
