Song Yunzhao feigned a delighted surprise. "In that case, I may truly have to trouble you more often in the future, Princess Consort Zhuang."
"It's no trouble at all. These are all small matters." 'As long as you can make a name for me,' Princess Consort Zhuang thought, 'I'd even go and decorate Wangyou Palace for you myself.'
After just a brief exchange, Song Yunzhao had a good sense of Princess Consort Zhuang's motivations. The woman clearly cherished her reputation; seeking her out had been the right decision.
A person with a weakness isn't to be feared. A person with no weakness is.
Once you identify a weakness, you can exploit it.
If she wanted to deal with Consort Shu, she had to win one of the three concubines over as an ally. Otherwise, given her current rank, a direct confrontation would mean being instantly crushed by Consort Shu.
