"What is the Crown Princess smiling about? Could it be that she's so happy because she is thinking about adding new ladies to the Crown Prince's harem soon?"
Su Xinyi looked up at Noble Consort Li, who was speaking. Noble Consort Li wished nothing more than to create a scene on this occasion, ideally to the point that it would disappoint Your Majesty and result in several more ladies being sent over to the Eastern Palace.
How could Su Xinyi let Noble Consort Li have her way? Smiling, she said, "What Noble Consort says is true. His Highness is busy with official duties all day, and I indeed find it exceedingly boring to stay in the Eastern Palace alone. If I could have more sisters to drink tea, appreciate flowers, and chat with, I'd be very pleased indeed."
Everyone present was taken aback and looked toward the Crown Princess.
Little did they know, Su Xinyi's face was filled with genuine happiness, her eyes sparkling with anticipation, which was astonishing to behold.
