Emperor Hongxiao adored her for the very quality of her lighthearted detachment, her disinclination to meddle in court affairs, which made her presence the most relaxing for him.

If you were to say he was infuriated, his demeanor was clearly not one of fury, but neither could it be said that he was supportive. With each year passing, the Emperor grew more inscrutable in his emotions; oftentimes, she too found it hard to interpret his thoughts.
As a daughter of the Ji family, she was aware of the troubles Ji Shuran had encountered in the Jiang Residence due to Jiang Li. Naturally, Consort Li did not wish for Jiang Li to succeed, and even shared Ji Shuran's hope that they could take this opportunity to dispose of Jiang Li without shedding blood.
