Chapter 1331: Is It Solved?
Editor: Henyee Translations
Shao Yunduan served as an aide to the Crown Prince.
Lixia and Liqiu suddenly recalled this fact and couldn’t help but share a hearty laugh.
After a brief conversation, Qiao Xuan returned to her bed to rest.
Meeting Princess Consort was really tiring! So she decided to forgo her initial plan for the evening. She had intended to prepare salt-baked chicken and fry a pair of crispy squab pigeons, coincidentally accompanied by a sour and sweet plum sauce for dipping. Additionally, she had prepared a plate of garlic and ginger mixed with sesame oil, perfect for seasoning the salt-baked chicken.
However, a lingering issue at the East Palace remained unresolved. It was best to keep a low profile and avoid causing any further disturbances. The potential repercussions of such actions would not be favorable.
Qiao Xuan couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed. Why did people insist on praising her culinary skills? Since when had she and her husband become such prominent figures, subject to clandestine scrutiny?
Shao Yunduan had been returning home late every night, and this evening was no exception.
However, there was a difference tonight—Qiao Xuan had deliberately stayed awake to wait for him.
Upon his quiet return, Shao Yunduan entered the room and found Qiao Xuan, who was preparing to climb out of bed. He took her hand and joined her, sitting down together. “Why are you still awake?”
Qiao Xuan blinked and chuckled. “I was waiting for you! So, how did it go? Has the issue been resolved?”
Shao Yunduan lowered his head, smiling warmly as he gazed at her. “Yes, your idea was excellent. I knew it had to be your ingenious plan!”
His wife had always had many strange and good ideas. He knew this better than anyone.
Qiao Xuan did not understand what he meant. She looked confused. “Huh?”
Of course, it was her idea. Needless to say?
Shao Yunduan wore a sardonic expression as he shared, “The steward who reported to the Crown Prince mentioned that Princess Consort and Auntie Fu had an extensive discussion with you and eventually devised a few ideas. I can’t say if they’ll be effective, but I’ve relayed them to the Crown Prince…”
The steward readily attributed half of the credit to Princess Consort.
Naturally, such a move wouldn’t have occurred without Princess Consort’s guidance and consent. According to the hierarchy, it was only fitting for the Princess Consort to receive credit.
Regrettably, Qiao Xuan remained unnoticed.
Some individuals even harbored envy and deliberately disregarded her contributions.
Shao Yunduan gently held her hands and whispered, “I understand that these ideas were your creation. Don’t be upset; we don’t need the recognition.”
“I hesitated to share this with you, but upon reflection, it’s better to inform you.”
At least it provided her with some reassurance.
The moment these ideas were introduced, Envy, known for her sarcasm, couldn’t resist lavishing praise upon Princess Consort for her wisdom and intelligence. Naturally, others either agreed or felt compelled to concur.
Shao Yunduan, though he recognized the truth, found himself constrained by the circumstances.
Qiao Xuan, “…”
It wasn’t that she was entirely indifferent to the situation. Qiao Xuan simply found it hard to fathom. After all, Princess Consort had consistently exuded an aura of dignity and refinement. It was difficult to imagine that someone of her stature would claim the credit for another’s work.
She hadn’t yet witnessed the full spectrum of the nobility’s ambitions and the cutthroat politics they navigated. Regardless of how poised and graceful Princess Consort appeared, she was not exempt from the prevailing customs.
