In Changding Palace, Consort Li and Lady Liang were having tea and chatting.
Lady Liang knew that Consort Li wouldn't invite her for tea without a reason.
Consort Li had a similar personality to Lady Liang; they both lived secluded lives in their own palace, never mingling with other concubines.
Lady Liang knew that Consort Li sought her out for Zhao Yao's marriage.
Consort Li understood Lady Liang's character and spoke to her without beating around the bush.
"Have you asked the emperor about Little Ten's marriage?"
Lady Liang guessed that Consort Li looked for her because of her son's marriage. This was the second time Consort Li asked her about this matter.
"I have asked, and the Emperor said there's no rush, so I said nothing more." Lady Liang knew Consort Li was concerned about Zhao Yao, which is why she inquired again about his marriage, yet she couldn't speak frankly to her.
