Whether Jiang Shaohua likes Prince Ping or not, is actually not important.
What matters is the attitude she displays. She is willing to take care of Prince Ping, naive as a child, until Prince Ping grows up to be an adult.
Grand Empress Dowager Zheng sees this and feels comforted.
Jiang Shaohua seized the throne from Prince Ping; no one is angrier than her. However, she will not let anger cloud her judgment and make irreparable actions.
Compared to Prince Huaiyang and Prince Wu'an, Jiang Shaohua ascending the Dragon Throne, at least, is barely acceptable. Originally, in her plan, Jiang Shaohua was to wholeheartedly assist Prince Ping. Now the plan has slightly changed; Jiang Shaohua refuses to make wedding clothes for Prince Ping, and insists on sitting on the Dragon Throne herself. Thus, let Jiang Shaohua manage the court for now. When Prince Ping grows up safely, marries, and has offspring, then slowly plan the matter of "returning the throne."
