"Your Majesty, you should make plans as soon as possible."
After speaking, Consort Lan lowered her head and stared at her toes. Consort Shou, who was as quiet as a ghost, trembled slightly but quickly regained her composure.
At the same time, Shou secretly pondered her future.
Consort Hui smiled, "If Noble Lady Zhi is fortunate enough to give birth to a prince, that would be wonderful. His Majesty currently only has three princes. Although Noble Lady Zhi's pregnancy is not as favored by His Majesty as Consort Yu's, it still..."
Hesitant to speak, Consort Hui glanced meaningfully at Noble Lady Lan.
Dusk falls
After being served by Ru Hua and Qin Huai, Xu Lejin had her dinner and lay reclining on the soft couch, half-closing her eyes as she pondered things.
At this moment, Zhu Lan hurriedly entered from outside the palace and whispered a few words in Ru Hua's ear. Ru Hua pondered for a moment before speaking, "Your Majesty, news has come from Cining Palace that the Fourteenth Princess is being raised by Consort Duan, and the imperial genealogy has been changed so that Consort Duan is listed as the Fourteenth Princess's birth mother."
"Um."
Xu Lejin responded softly, and then said, "Good things come to those who wait. Consort Duan has finally achieved her wish. It was not in vain that I specifically mentioned her in front of the Emperor."

"Consort Duan has the heart of a loving mother; she has frequently visited my palace recently."
Ru Hua smiled and said, "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. Consort Duan will be very grateful to Your Majesty for raising the Fourteenth Princess. I think that since the Fourteenth Princess's birth mother died early, she needs a foster mother to raise her. Rather than the other ladies in the palace raising the Fourteenth Princess, it would be better to have Consort Duan."
"Your Majesty, your small act of kindness has been a great favor to Consort Duan. Consort Duan will certainly serve Your Majesty faithfully and at your service in the future."
Xu Lejin looked up at Ruhua and spoke in a cold voice.
"What nonsense are you spouting? The Emperor himself bestowed upon her the title of Consort Duan; she holds a high position within the palace. How dare you discuss or question her in private? You are my head maid; your every word and action represents me."
"I will consider this your first offense and allow you to go back and repent."
Upon entering the scene, he looked terrified and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
