Liang Jiugong respectfully agreed.

Xu Lejin smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise. Consort Ning and Noble Lady Xin will be very happy when they hear the news."

Zhongcui Palace

After learning of Emperor Kangxi's decree, Consort Ning couldn't hide her smile; her mouth was practically stretched to the back of her head.

"Very good, very good. I am not only the Sixth Prince's foster mother, but also his godmother. This will be acknowledged in the imperial genealogy. I am overjoyed. From now on, the Sixth Prince is truly my son."

"Danzhu, instruct the head palace maids to clean the rear hall in preparation for Consort Xin's arrival."

Danzhu lowered his head and responded with a sound.

After hesitating for a moment, Danzhu lowered her voice and said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has granted Consort Xin permission to reside in the rear hall of our Zhongcui Palace. What is the meaning of this?"

"Consort Xin is a titled consort, only half a rank lower than Your Majesty."

Consort Ning's expression froze.

After a moment, Consort Ning spoke calmly, "Even if she's half a rank lower, she's still inferior to me. Although Noble Lady Xin is the birth mother of the Sixth Prince, her background is not high, while I—"

"I am from the Khorchin tribe. Although I am not favored, as long as I am not wrong, the Emperor will never do anything to embarrass me."

Changchun Palace

When Emperor Kangxi's edict reached Consort Xin, she was astonished and found it hard to believe.

Li Dequan, the imperial attendant who was delivering the message, cleared his throat, lowered his voice, and whispered to Consort Xin, "Consort Xin, Her Highness Consort Yu has asked me to pass on a message to you."

"Because of your maternal love, you have been granted the Emperor's favor and granted residence in the rear hall of Zhongcui Palace. However, the principal consort of Zhongcui Palace will still be Consort Ning. I hope that when you go to Zhongcui Palace, you will respect Consort Ning."

Consort Xin nodded.

"Yes, Your Highness Consort Yu, I will remember your teachings and follow Consort Ning's lead."
