After dinner, the Princess Consort confided in Qiao Xuan about the day’s events, her frustration with Qiao Xuan evident.

The Crown Prince chuckled and inquired about the specifics.

She then adopted a serene demeanor. “Princess Consort, there’s no need for such anger. This is a minor issue, not worth escalating further.”

The Princess Consort’s eyes widened, and she countered, “Crown Prince, failing to address Ms. Qiao’s behavior could lead to complications, especially with Officer Shao involved. He has no support, and Ms. Qiao’s reputation isn’t favorable.”

The Crown Prince’s expression grew stern. “Princess Consort, after Old Minister’s guidance, I’ve chosen not to accept any more disciples. However, he has made an exception for Shao Yunduan, who stands out as a promising officer with a future. He and Ms. Qiao share a close bond and can’t tolerate any interference. Ms. Qiao’s temperament matches his. So, Princess Consort, let us abandon this notion.”

“Today’s incident can be attributed to Fourth Sister-in-law, who didn’t press us publicly. Ms. Qiao declined our invitation, which is a minor matter. Don’t let it trouble you, Princess Consort.”

Despite the Crown Prince’s reasoning, the Princess Consort couldn’t shake off her lingering anger. She felt misunderstood and frustrated.

She believed her actions were in the Crown Prince’s and the kingdom’s best interests. Why couldn’t the Crown Prince see her intentions?

But she was accustomed to obeying the Crown Prince’s decisions. With his stance clear, she held back her objections, forcing a smile as she conceded, “I will follow your counsel, but it would be wise for Ms. Qiao to discreetly remind Officer Shao to avoid any future entanglements…”

The Crown Prince reassured her, “Officer Shao is no fool, Princess Consort. Rest assured.”

The Princess Consort nodded, reluctantly agreeing. “Very well.”

What a futile expenditure of her efforts.

The Crown Prince, burdened with his duties, returned to his study, leaving the Princess Consort to stew in her frustration for a while before taking a brief respite.

They were a united couple, supportive of each other. The Crown Prince’s disinterest in the charms of other women made the atmosphere among the wives and concubines in the East Palace harmonious.

As the years passed, the Crown Prince’s visits to their chambers became rare, occurring mostly on the 15th day of the New Year. He maintained a certain respect for her as his primary wife.

The majority of his time was consumed by his studies, and Princess Consort upheld her dignity and virtue, never succumbing to envy. She simply couldn’t fathom why Qiao Xuan showed such devotion to a lowly maid.

It seemed utterly irrational!

What exacerbated the situation was the Crown Prince’s unwavering support for Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan, rendering her indifference to his opinion.

Where did this trust in the Crown Prince stem from?

Unbeknownst to Princess Consort, both Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan were actively, both openly and covertly, extending financial support to the Crown Prince. He had no intention of creating discord over such a trivial matter.

Shao Yunduan was transparent about his actions, not taking credit for any of Qiao Xuan’s accomplishments.
