As Jin Wang said, Consort Jin was a person who pays great attention to decorum. As long as Yaoniang performed her duties and didn’t cross the boundaries, she would not make it difficult for Yaoniang.

Seriously speaking, she wasn’t making it difficult for Yaoniang at all but giving her a lot of face.

Consort Jin was someone who paid special attention to details and was good at increasing support for people. Perhaps most of the ladies from the rich and noble families were like this. The servants of Siyi Academy were like her weatherglass. Through these servants, she could tell who she should see and who not to see.

As soon as Yaoniang came, Hong’er, who was playing with the curtains, welcomed her and greeted her with a big smile. Another servant girl had already gone in to inform Consort Jin. If changed to someone else that arrived, they wouldn’t act so fast.

Not long after, a servant came out and with a smile on her face said, “Madam, the consort invites you to go in.”

Yaoniang nodded and went in.

It seemed that without Side Consort Hu, the backyard was particularly calm.

They are all people who understood good and evil. It was obvious that Yaoniang was both loved by the prince and the consort, so no one dared to embarrass her. Yaoniang now held the status as the most favoured in the backyard.

Even Side Consort Xu would smile when she sees her. No matter what she thought inside, she wasn’t willing to offend her to the face.

Consort Jin said a few words at random then had the people disperse but called Yaoniang to stay.

“I got up late this morning and hasn’t had any breakfast. Stay with me to eat.”

The breakfast was set up, and Consort Jin went to sit down at the table. Yaoniang was about to serve her but was ordered to sit down and eat together.

Yaoniang was used to serving others during meals in her previous life. With Consort Jin using her usual methods, she could only honestly accompany her for a meal. During the meal, every word of Consort Jin had a meaning behind it. When combined with the instigation of the nearby maids, Yaoniang could only pretend not to understand anything.

To be honest, Yaoniang knew this was unavoidable. Since Consort Jin praised her, she must have something she wanted her to do. With Side Consort Hu currently out of the way, it seemed that the consort was planning to deal with Side Consort Xu. It was a pity that Yaoniang didn’t plan on helping with this matter.

In fact, she was playing a rogue, receiving the benefits of Consort Jin, but planning on doing nothing.

Yaoniang hadn’t planned on doing anything for the consort from the very beginning. Her current life was different from her previous life. At that time, she had been in a difficult situation and had to rely on the consort to save herself. Now that she had Jin Wang himself backing her, she wasn’t interested in attending to trivialities and neglecting the essentials.

But the consort seemed to be under the delusion that the other party was willing.

Yaoniang wasn’t willing to tell her otherwise because after all, the consort was the consort. Even if the consort forced benefits onto her, besides pretending to be dumb, there was nothing else to do.

After Yaoniang left, Mommy Zhou said, “The little demoness seemed to only want benefits, but wasn’t willing to help with anything. Your Highness, why must you treat her with such kindness?”

This wet nurse of hers has never been smart, and Consort Jin had known it from when she was very young. But this was precisely why she fancied Mommy Zhou from the very beginning. She wasn’t afraid of the servants being stupid but was afraid of them being unfaithful.

If the servants were too clever, what would the masters be there for?

But it was obvious that Mommy Zhou was getting older and more and more confused. Consort Jin had heard her call Yaoniang a little demoness more than once. It was fine for Mommy Zhou to call Yaoniang that in front of her. But if she slipped up one day and called her that in front of others, then wouldn’t all her previous efforts be in vain?

In a rare instance of being in a good mood, she explained to her: “With how frequent His Highness visits her place, she could be pregnant in no time. Didn’t nanny always want me to have a child? If she can give birth to a son, I will bring the child over to raise.”

“Is this possible? I’m afraid she won’t agree.”

The consort just smiled without explaining further.

Mommy Zhou continued to talk, “This old servant still thinks that it’s best for the consort to personally give birth to a child. Relying on others doesn’t always end up well.”

Zi Yan looked helpless. She winked at Zi Meng, who nodded then went out. Not long after, a young maid walked in and said that there was something that needed Mommy Zhou to take a look at.

After Mommy Zhou went out, Zi Meng said to the consort, “Your Highness, on Rongxi Courtyard’s side, we don’t need to—”

“She has probably started fooling around with His Highness a long time ago. Dealing with her now is a bit late. She isn’t like that one from Liuchun Pavilion, so there’s no need to be so cautious. A small concubine, even if she gave birth to a child, she won’t be able to raise it.”

Zi Meng wanted to speak but stopped.

The princess naturally understood the meaning behind her desire to speak. She smiled and said, “Now she is pretending to be a fool in front of this consort, with delusions in her mind that His Highness will treat her well for a long time. She does not understand that men are the most fickle-minded. Can’t you see that one from Liuchun Pavilion used to have so much glory but is now slapped in the face by a little concubine? One day when those two women can’t sit still any longer and makes a move, she will understand the importance of this consort treating her well.”

“Now let’s wait and watch the show.”

Seeing the consort said this, Zi Meng suddenly had an understanding in her heart. The consort treated Lady Su very well not only because she wanted her to depend on her, but it was more for that someone to see.

By the time that woman couldn’t sit still any longer, she would jump out on her own accord.

“The consort is wise.”

Upon hearing this, the consort curled her lips.

How was she wise? This was merely a method that all women of the backyard understood. It wasn’t interesting and there was no room for errors. The sad thing was that even if she understood all this, she still had to do it.
