Thinking of this, Madam Geng clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly and said slowly, "It's not that I haven't given her a chance, but she still can't give Hongzhou another son, so I will no longer count on her."
Geng's words implied that she wanted to elevate the other concubines and maids in the manor. Qiu Yun, standing behind Geng, naturally understood what Geng meant and said cautiously, "But the Prince rarely sets foot in the courtyards of those concubines and maids. What should we do?"
Upon hearing Qiu Yun's words, Geng Shi said with disdain, "If Hong Zhou won't go, then call them over. I want Wu Kuzha Shi to know that she is not the only one in this palace who can give birth to Hong Zhou's children."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Yun raised an eyebrow and pretended to be worried, but if there were other people present, they would definitely see the smugness in Qiu Yun's eyes, "But, won't this affect the relationship between the Princess and the Prince?"
"Hongzhou spoiled her too much, which is why she became so lawless and dared to talk back to me." Geng Shi was still holding a grudge against Wu Kuzha Shi and had forgotten Wu Kuzha Shi's previous filial piety towards her. At this moment, she only remembered Wu Kuzha Shi's defiance towards her that day.
"Your Majesty, please don't worry."
After a moment's thought, Lady Geng said to Qiu Yun behind her, "Go and summon Lady Zhang, Lady Xie, and Lady Wang. I have something to tell them."
The women in Geng's household were Hongzhou's two princesses and concubines. Hongzhou had always been very considerate of Wu Kuzha, so in recent years, the Prince He's mansion had not had any concubines or princesses, only Zhang, Xie, and Wang.
"Yes." After saying that, Qiu Yun withdrew her hand from massaging Geng Shi's shoulders and slowly walked out of Rongyi Courtyard.
Meanwhile, upon hearing the report from Xia Rao, Zhang, Xie, and Wang were filled with disbelief and asked suspiciously, "Is Her Majesty summoning me to Rongyi Courtyard? Is this true?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty, it is absolutely true. It was a maidservant from Her Highness's side who came to deliver the message."
It's no wonder the three of them asked that question. After all, they rarely came to Rongyi Courtyard, and today was not a special day. Although they were Hongzhou's concubines, their presence in the Prince's mansion was extremely low. They were all somewhat incredulous that Geng had sent them to Rongyi Courtyard for no reason. They didn't dare to delay for even a moment and hurriedly walked into Rongyi Courtyard.
Before long, the three of them arrived at Rongyi Courtyard together. "Greetings, Your Majesty. May Your Majesty be blessed."
It was easy to see the restraint on the faces of the three women, and they all felt somewhat flustered and uneasy as they looked at Madam Geng.
"Please sit down." Hearing this, Xie and Zhang looked at Geng cautiously before slowly sitting down. Geng glanced at Wang, the concubine who dared not sit down, and said slowly, "You sit down too."
After the three were seated, Madam Geng glanced at the three who were being very cautious and said, "The Prince is usually very busy, but he always comes to Yirong Courtyard to dine with me every day. From now on, the three of you will be in a group and come over every day to serve the Prince his meals."
Hearing this from Madam Geng, the three women were naturally pleased, knowing that Madam Geng was going to elevate them, so they quickly expressed their gratitude.
Meanwhile, Wu Kuzha also received the news that Geng had recruited three concubines. Wu Kuzha pursed her lips, frowned, and sat there without saying a word.
The maid Yingwan said, "The Princess Consort treats Her Highness very well. How can she elevate a concubine like me?"
Wu Kuzha said calmly, "Mother thinks I'm not generous enough, causing the Prince's mansion to have so few offspring."
