"Qin Huai, go to the Qianqing Palace and report this matter to the Emperor. Consort Duan wants to raise the Fourteenth Princess. I originally thought that we should wait until the Fourteenth Princess was a month old before starting the process, but now it has been brought forward by half a month."
"What if I lend her a hand?"
Soon, the entire palace learned of what the Consort had done. Emperor Kangxi was furious and immediately went to Xianfu Palace, where he severely reprimanded the Consort and issued an edict stripping her of her title.

The Empress Dowager felt somewhat guilty, but she had to consider the Khorchin and the Consort's feelings.
