Prime Minister Li must have gotten used to Xiao Changyi always ignoring him, as he quickly recovered his composure and briskly walked over to An Jing and the others. Bowing in respect, he then said to An Jing, "Earlier, this humble official forgot to thank the Princess Consort. When my daughter was in Hecheng County, not only did you take great care of her numerous times, but also gifted her an excellent horse. This humble official is hereby expressing his gratitude; you have been too generous."
This was not flattery—the horse truly was of fine stock, likely worth a few thousand taels.
After all, he could not afford it.
The horse he had previously at home was given to him by the Emperor to facilitate his travel.
An Jing looked towards Li Wuyu. Clearly, the horse was given by Wang Youbao, so how did it become her gift instead?
Li Wuyu immediately gave An Jing a pleading look.
