"If you do this, the Crown Princess will surely appreciate your kindness. When I see her being friendly with others, she is usually very amiable," said Mrs. Zhao, who had no choice but to speak up for the Crown Princess. She knew that Prince Rong, who was on their side, had made up his mind to follow the Crown Prince as a subordinate, and although the Empress was not happy about it and felt that Prince Rong was wronged, there was nothing she could do since he was willing to do so.
Previously, Prince Rong had often opposed the Crown Prince, but now the Crown Prince bears no ill will or desire for retaliation against him. The recent appointment for the trade convoy, it was said, was only granted to Prince Rong after the Crown Prince interceded on his behalf with His Majesty.
