"The Crown Prince told Your Majesty that you were pregnant, and if a newcomer were to enter the Eastern Palace, they might collide with you. Moreover, just now the issue with Prince Yi has been dealt with"
Su Xinyi felt a bit uneasy. She cleared her throat and spoke earnestly to save face for the Crown Prince, "Empress Mother, the main issue is that I have a rather bad temper. You know that when newcomers arrive, they inevitably vie for favor. If I happen to meet someone with too many schemes, it would unavoidably trouble and tire me, and if it came to a quarrel, indeed, it wouldn't look good."
Her straightforwardness amused the Empress, "You must not speak like this outside. As the Crown Princess, your reputation is very important. If anyone asks, just say that the Crown Prince is too busy with government affairs to be distracted. Have you remembered that?"
"Your daughter-in-law remembers," Su Xinyi immediately nodded in agreement.
