Jiang Ning laughed, "I'm just joking. The Emperor has only promised my mother one favor, and it's used up. Besides, my mother is someone else's daughter-in-law, not his."
"Do you have any good ideas?"
"If his daughter-in-law's request is useless, what about his own wives?"
"It's useless to ask the Empress. She will never allow the emperor's eldest grandson to live outside the palace. Even if she believes the Princess Consort is treating the grandson badly, she will scold at most. As long as he's in the palace, he'll still be in her control."
"Who said I am going to ask the Empress? The Emperor has more wives than just her."
"Ah, you mean..." Jiang Yi understood, "She's not easy to please; she didn't even intervene in the matter of Prince Yu."
"Brother, let me tell you a famous saying: there's no woman who can't be pleased; only methods that are not right." Jiang Ning laughed, "In my opinion, Concubine Jin is easier to please than any other woman."
