Consort Ning did go, but the final result was not as she wished. Instead, she and Consort Lin were reprimanded by the Emperor, fined three months' worth of allowances, and confined to their rooms for a month to reflect on their mistakes.
During the month she was locked up, Lu Xuening thought a lot.
After leaving the palace, he lived a quiet and low-key life, rarely even visiting the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace.
She thought that this would ensure her safety and allow her to get through the ordeal smoothly, but unexpectedly, her son was taken away, and she was left to live alone in Zhongcui Palace.
Lu Xuening was on the verge of a breakdown. Why did she end up like this?
After much deliberation, Lu Xuening ultimately blamed all the wrongdoing on Consort Ning and her son.
Compared to her own miserable situation, it was much more irritating to see Consort Ning living such a good life.
Lu Xuening was in great distress, while Consort Ning, whom she resented, was happily living with her son Yongyue.
Everything was just right; Consort Ning absolutely loved her luck.
Compared to the other three concubines who became pregnant at the same time, Consort Ning felt that she was simply blessed by the heavens.
"Now I ask for nothing, I only wish that Yongyue grows up safely."
Having a child is better than being alone. Consort Ning was originally a gentle person, and now that she has Yongyue, she has become even less aggressive.
The earlier counterattack in the Imperial Garden was probably the most excessive thing Consort Ning ever did.
Afterwards, Consort Ning felt some regret in her heart. After all, upon careful consideration, even if Consort Qing and Consort Lin had ulterior motives, they did not go too far.
On the contrary, Consort Ning's counterattack was very forceful, even causing Consort Qing and Consort Lin to be confined for a month, and indirectly leading to their loss of favor later on.
Since Consort Qing and Consort Lin's children were taken to the Dowager Consort's palace to be raised after they were born, Consort Ning took the responsibility upon herself.
To some extent, Consort Ning and Consort Qing's thought processes are aligned.
One person shifts all the blame onto the other, thus clearing themselves of any wrongdoing.
She took all the blame upon herself and was somewhat weak in front of Consort Qing.
And so, over time, Consort Qing became even more convinced that everything was Consort Ning's fault, and she routinely found fault with her and made sarcastic remarks.
Consort Ning yielded step by step and endured everything, which only fueled Consort Qing's arrogance and made for quite a spectacle for onlookers.
Under these circumstances, Consort Xian, of the Hui-fa-na-la clan, who had been pregnant for some time, suddenly became pregnant, instantly attracting the attention of everyone in the harem.
