But Li Yuanyuan, the Side Concubine, was a very competent woman, an expert in managing accounts and dealing with mundane affairs. All the needs and issues in the East Palace, such as food, clothing, housing, traveling, and household maintenance, were immaculately taken care of.
Jiang Ning was happy to give her the reins, allowing herself to enjoy leisure and freedom.
She liked being in a high position, but she wasn't fond of fretting over everything herself. After all, what else would those serving her do?
Given Li Yuanyuan's competence, finding some tasks for her also prevented her from becoming bored and creating unnecessary problems for herself.
Li Yuanyuan was aware that the Princess Consort must have placed a lot of trust in her in order for her to handle the affairs of the East Palace, and so, she was truly grateful.
She paid her respects every morning and evening, and also took good care of Jin Man.
