After Concubine Jiang returned to the palace, she wore a sour face as if the entire harem owed her a million taels of silver. Concubine Wei, afraid she couldn't play along, turned her attention to Concubine Li: "Lately, Ruyi has been clinging to her father and misses him dearly. The Emperor also dotes on Ruyi, and knowing that his daughter misses him, he brought back many little trinkets for her."
Concubine Li: "The Princess is adorable; it makes sense for the Emperor to care for her a bit more, especially since he's been out on Qiu Lie for so long."
Qiu Lie didn't take you.
Concubine Wei: "There's no helping it; Ruyi is still young and can't be without me. The Emperor promised to take her along when she's a bit older."
I have a daughter.
Concubine Li gritted her back teeth: "The Emperor dined at your place, so why didn't he stay overnight? Could it be that Concubine Wei's service wasn't thorough enough?"
