“The Princess Consort has excellent cooking skills. If the Imperial Chef in the imperial kitchen could cook as well as Her Highness, we wouldn’t have to worry.”

Jiang Ning said, “What’s there to worry about? She’s not a child. If she refuses to eat, she’s just being pretentious. Starve her for two meals, and she’ll be cured.”

Concubine Jin looked at her, “Did you forget that I’m still here?”

“…I really did forget.”

“I think you’ve let success go to your head.” Concubine Jin snorted, “Your leg is healed, and now you’re so proud of yourself.”

Jiang Ning laughed ‘hehe’, walked around the room with her hands behind her back, and saw a string of jade Buddhas hanging on the wall. Each bead was crystal clear and translucent, so she took them down and played with them, eventually putting them on her wrist.

Concubine Jin saw this but didn’t say anything.

She lay down casually on the couch, yawned lazily, “Your Highness has eaten enough, you can go now.”

“My leg is a bit sore. I need to rest.”

“What, you’re trying to take advantage of me because of one bowl of noodles?”

“I wouldn’t dare.” Jiang Ning approached her, “Since I’m doing nothing, why don’t let me massage your leg for you?”

As she said this, she reached out and started massaging her calf.

Concubine Jin found it quite comfortable and didn’t say anything. After a while, she even closed her eyes in comfort.

After some time, Jiang Ning whispered, “Your Highness, Your Highness?”

A maid by their side said, “It seems Her Highness has fallen asleep.”

“Get a blanket for her, so she doesn’t catch a cold.”

“Yes, this maid will get one right away.”

After the maid left, Jiang Ning stood up and walked out with her hands behind her back.

Outside, two wet nurses were chasing after several children running around.

It was a warm spring day, perfect for children to play outside.

Seeing Jiang Ning come out, Huang Ying hurried over, “Princess Consort, where should we go now?”

“You stay here and watch them. I’ll be back to pick you up later.”

“Please don’t worry, Your Highness. This servant will guard the Crown Prince and the young Princess.”

Being at Concubine Jin’s place was very safe.

As for Jiang Ning herself, she walked out of the Splendid Palace at a leisurely pace, strolling beneath the tall red walls on a spring day with willow catkins floating in the air, feeling quite content.

However, this peaceful happiness was soon interrupted.

A low-ranking concubine, surrounded by several maids, turned the corner and nearly bumped into Jiang Ning.

At the last moment, a shadow clad in black dashed over and pulled Jiang Ning back several steps, avoiding the collision.

Jiang Ning looked back and saw Gucheng.

Because she knew he was always by her side, she could walk so casually and freely in the palace.

As for the low-ranking concubine in front of her, Jiang Ning didn’t recognize her and had no interest in getting to know her.

At first, the concubine wanted to get angry, but when she saw Jiang Ning’s face, she immediately became silent.

Although they were not familiar with each other, the concubine was smart. She knew very well that in the palace, someone with such an appearance was definitely not someone she could afford to offend.

She even asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.”

Jiang Ning nodded and walked past them.

Gucheng, like a shadow, followed her closely.

The low-ranking concubine’s eyes couldn’t help but follow Jiang Ning as she murmured, “When did new people come to the palace? His Majesty’s taste is getting higher and higher. Since there is such a beauty, what are the rest of us needed for?”

“Master, that is the Princess Consort of Yu.” The eunuch beside her reminded her.

The concubine was surprised, “She’s the Princess Consort of Yu? The one with the crippled leg?”

“It’s said that her leg has been healed.”

“Ah.” The concubine exclaimed softly, “No wonder.” Then, her eyes filled with envy, “Heaven is so unfair.. Why are some people born so beautiful?”
