This was the first time Huang Ying heard the term, but that didn't prevent her from understanding its meaning.
She laughingly said, "It's amusing what you said, Your Ladyship. But, I suppose the women in the harem do not mind being tools for the royal family."
"Whether Concubine Li minds or not, I don't care."
Jiang Ning closed her eyes.
Indeed, she was not angry at all about Li Hongyuan's behavior, even though he had made her wait in vain for an entire afternoon and half a night.
Her current concern was that Li Hongyuan seemed to have somewhat grasped her intent. To avoid openly refusing her request, he played this little trick halfway, went directly to Concubine Li's place, and avoided seeing her.
Where Li Hongyuan was willing to go was his choice, but if he avoided seeing her like this, how could she get information from him?
