346: Consort Li's Heart-Striking Strategy

Su Xinyi had now also noticed that Consort Ruan's expression was somewhat unnatural; upon reflection, she understood that Consort Ruan might have misunderstood her, as she had not made herself clear.

She composed herself and looked at Consort Ruan, continuing, "The Mid-Autumn Festival is upon us, and the Empress will be overseeing the Mid-Autumn Banquet. She has asked me to assist with the wedding preparations for Prince Wu in the meantime. After the banquet, the Empress herself will take charge of it."

Su Xinyi speculated that Consort Ruan might be unhappy because such an important event as her son's marriage was being entrusted to her by the Empress.

Although she was the Crown Princess, she was after all a junior. Despite Consort Ruan's current lack of favor, she had only one son and naturally hoped that his marriage would be celebrated with great fanfare. With this thought, Su Xinyi no longer felt that Consort Ruan's attitude was inappropriate.
