The Ulanara clan represented the face of the Fujin (the wife of the emperor) and was also related to the fourth prince.
We cannot let the declining Ulanara clan jeopardize the future of the fourth prince.
This is why Consort De spoke so earnestly and patiently today.
The Fujin (Prince Consort) clearly understood after hearing Consort De's words, and when she left with the two little princesses, she finally didn't have the sullen face she had when she arrived.
When Granny Zhao returned after seeing the Fujin off, Consort De was already resting her head on the warm jade pillow with her eyes closed.
"You're back?" Consort De asked.
Zhao Mama smiled, "Your Highness is still as sharp-witted and perceptive as ever. Fourth Princess Consort has already returned. The small kitchen has prepared some black chicken soup; Your Highness may have some."
"I'm feeling listless. By the way, how is Li's pregnancy going in the Fourth Prince's household? The Fujin is busy right now and probably doesn't have much time to attend to her—but that's a good thing for her."
Zhao Mama nodded in agreement: "Yes, it will take at least half a month for Lord Fei Yanggu's funeral to take place. I heard that the date is set for October 28th. There were other auspicious dates before that, but we can't let them clash with the Empress Dowager's birthday."
However, Consort De couldn't help but frown upon hearing this: "October 28th? That's not a particularly auspicious date either."
Granny Zhao understood why her mistress was unhappy. After all, the Fourth Prince's birthday was on October 30th, and having two birthdays one after the other was not auspicious. It was likely that the Fourth Prince's birthday celebration would have to be rushed.
"As for Consort Li's pregnancy, Your Majesty, please rest assured. Imperial Physician Zhou has reported back that as long as you take good care of yourself during this time, there will be no problem."
Consort De understood perfectly well what she was saying, and upon hearing it, she simply replied, "Fourth Prince, you've gone to a lot of trouble."
"The cordyceps in the storeroom should be given to the principal wife. I remember a few years ago His Majesty bestowed a pair of red gold and sapphire hairpins with pomegranate blossoms and a hundred seeds upon her? Let's give those to Lady Li."
Consort De could clearly see who was unwell.
However, the fact that the fourth prince's harem was filled with many children and blessings was something Consort De also hoped for.
Upon hearing this, Granny Zhao simply said, "Her Majesty cherishes the Fourth Princess Consort so much."
Indeed, which of the First, Third, and Fifth Princess Consorts hasn't suffered both favor and misfortune?
A mother-in-law like Consort De is indeed very rare.
Consort De smiled and simply said, "It's just a matter of loving the house because of its owner."
Zhao Mama was also moved by these words.
