"How can Su Yushan be so petty and intolerant of others? Fourth Master can't belong to just her; sooner or later there will be new people."
"Who says otherwise?" Qiu Cha retorted indignantly, standing up for her master.
"Since Consort Su is so possessive of the Fourth Prince, not allowing other women to share the spoils, and she doesn't even give face to the Fujin (Prince's wife), Consort Xi must be disgusted by this kind of woman who is delusional about wanting exclusive favor."
After thinking for a moment, Qiu Cha suggested, "Why don't we ask Consort Xi to make the decision?"

As Hongli approached the tent, he squeezed her hand with displeasure. "Look at your expression, you seem quite disappointed. Do you perhaps want me to play in the hot springs with her?"
Su Yushan's starry eyes flickered slightly, and she smiled meaningfully, "Whether or not you can play in the water depends on whether you have discerning eyes."
"Though I am not the Monkey King, I do have a mirror in my heart that reveals true nature." What Hongli was actually curious about was, "Speaking of which, how did you anticipate that something would happen?"
