"The Empress is being a bit unreasonable. Since she has agreed to become a concubine, she is no different from a bed warmer. There is no need for any formal ceremony. Let her enter the mansion early to serve Chen'er, so that Chen'er will not think about running outside all the time."
Although Empress Qi was displeased, she had no choice but to agree when the Emperor spoke.
"Your Majesty is right. I did not consider this carefully."
The Emperor continued:

Does this mean that the child born to the principal wife will be born to a concubine?
The more she thought about it, the angrier Empress Qi became, and she trembled with rage.
