If it weren't for the Crown Prince's favor, at worst she would be reprimanded and punished. But if she had the Crown Prince's favor, who in the Dong family would dare to punish her and offend the Crown Prince? That's why Dong Tingzhi dared to act so boldly.
As Madam Dong said, she did not have enough confidence in her beauty. If it were about beauty... that cousin from the Bai family, Princess of Zhen, Bai Qingyan, truly possessed stunning beauty. She didn't think the Crown Prince was foolish enough not to see through her deliberate attempts to attract him. All she wanted was to send a signal to the Crown Prince that the Dong family had a girl willing to serve him.
But just as she stepped out of the Bajiao Pavilion, she was bound by Nanny Wang's people and brought directly to Madam Dong. It seemed Madam Dong wouldn't give her the chance to serve the Crown Prince.
