Chapitre 163: Chapter 0163: Affairs of the Court

The addition of the Third Prince didn't cause much of a shift in the dynamics of the residence.

It simply meant that Princess Song's quarters enjoyed more benefits, with improvements in food, drink, and attire.

However, in the back courtyard, it was evident that while Princess Song's situation had improved, her care and attention towards the Third Prince had to be earnest.

But how much effort to put in, that was a matter of opinion.

After all, having a child might secure one's later years from hardship, but it was still different from being favored and having a child.

Therefore, Ye Zao was unaffected, maintaining her status quo, only more diligent than before.

As for Lady Li, she was gradually regaining her strength. She already had a position, something Princess Song could not match.

One night, Fourth Master went to visit Lady Li.

It was the first time in a long while that Fourth Master had spent the night in Lady Li's quarters.
