Noble Consort Li's dark eyes flickered, suppressing the shock in her heart. Having fought with the Empress for so many years, she naturally knew her temperament and would not let her have her way. Seemingly casually, she responded, "Since the Empress said so, the Crown Princess must be doing an excellent job. It's a pity that there's still a long way to go before the Empress and my daughter-in-law can have a good relationship. I don't know when I'll be able to taste a cup of tea from my daughter-in-law."
Even if the Crown Princess is good, she is not your legitimate daughter-in-law, and the Crown Prince is not your child.
The Empress was stung by these words, but she told herself that Noble Consort Li was deliberately provoking her, and she must not fall for it.
