Consort Cheng was scolded again and felt very uncomfortable. However, since Empress Dowager Cheng was only doing it for her and her son, she softened and said, "Your Majesty, I understand."
Empress Dowager Cheng: "How are the girls we found from the Cheng family? Are they good-looking and have good temperaments?"
When this matter was mentioned, Consort Cheng perked up, nodding repeatedly with a meaningful expression.
"Even if we don't have one, we'll find one. We've just found one who looks better than the one from the Longevity Palace, and whose temperament is somewhat similar to that of the Crown Princess. We'll wait for the right opportunity to send her into the palace."

Jingyi is not a patient person; as soon as she gets something, she runs to the East Palace.
"Ninth Prince, Ninth Prince."
When Jingyi went into Shangyu Pharmacy to find Yu Chuxuan, the people inside heard the noise, and a figure in white quickly hid behind a screen.

Yu Chuxuan took the sachet from Jingyi, his gaze lingering slightly. He looked at Jingyi with amusement, easily discerning the meaning in her eyes.
"Princess Jingyi, it seems you're too afraid of me dying, aren't you?"
Jingyi's thoughts were immediately exposed, her face flushed red, and she quickly retorted, "I didn't."
She then ignored Yu Chuxuan and ran out of the East Palace.
