Lianxing responded softly.
East side hall of Zhongcui Palace
Consort Ma Jia sat by the window with a cold face, gazing at the scorching sunlight outside. Her thoughts were churning. She wondered what she had done wrong.
The Emperor clearly adored her, and she was also very fertile, becoming pregnant six times. Although she suffered a miscarriage once, she delivered safely the other five times.
She now has one son and three daughters. The emperor should bestow upon her the titles of concubine and imperial consort, but why?

Imperial Physician Sun paused, then carefully spoke. "As for whether the child is a prince or a princess, the pregnancy is still in its early stages, and I dare not draw a conclusion prematurely."
