Bab 174: Chapter 174: No Need to Indulge Her

The chief eunuch of the Splendid Palace came to Prince of Yu's mansion.

Li Hongyuan thought his concubine mother was looking for him, but the eunuch was actually looking for Jiang Ning.

"Concubine Xian asked for some osmanthus honey preserves from the Princess Consort of Yu." The eunuch spoke with a smile, "Your Highness loves those. She hadn't got any this morning, and she was almost upset. I rushed over here at once."

"Honey preserves?" Li Hongyuan responded, "If my concubine mother fancies them, I can buy her some."

"Oh no, the stuff made by those people outside cannot be eaten by Your Highness." The eunuch tried to dissuade him while smiling, "Her Highness specifically wants the ones made by the Princess Consort of Yu. I dare not go back without them. Please pity me, Prince."

"You wait here, I'll go check."

Li Hongyuan had the housekeeper invite the eunuch to have tea and pastries. He himself went to the Crystal Clear Manor.
