Zhulan could guess from Lady Li's expression what she was thinking, "If the Empress really wanted to interfere, she would have done so long ago."
Lady Li was unconvinced, "Wasn't it because the title wasn't legitimate before?"
The Crown Prince had numerous concubines and consorts. All of them his biological sons. Could the Empress truly not care? She even suspected that the Empress had appointed concubines for Rongchuan.
Zhulan's intuition was precise; if the Empress had wanted to intervene, she would have done so already. Since she hadn't, she wouldn't in the future, "Your worries are superfluous."
Lady Li felt her mother-in-law was too confident, "Not everyone is as good a mother-in-law as you."
Zhulan thought to herself, her being a good mother-in-law had earned her quite a few enemies. If her status hadn't changed step by step, she would have had to listen to endless sarcastic remarks.
