Shao Yunduan enjoyed high regard from the Crown Prince, and many of the Crown Prince's ministers and advisors held him in high esteem. Nevertheless, a few individuals harbored jealousy and sought to undermine him, actively seeking opportunities to cause trouble.
What Shao Yunduan was unaware of was that his words had struck a chord.
Qiao Xuan's reputation had flourished when she revived the only peony flowers in the palace and introduced strawberries to the capital, quickly becoming a favored fruit among the ladies and children. Such achievements were not easily attainable for ordinary women.
More importantly, the Crown Prince had come to know that Qiao Xuan was not only capable but also skilled at generating income. Shao Yunduan had made it explicitly clear that all the wealth from the South had been earned by Qiao Xuan.
