"Although the imperial physicians diagnosed that Consort Yu's third child would most likely be a princess, Consort Yu is in good health and will become pregnant again sooner or later after this one."
“Grandmother, Empress Dowager, you are getting old, but your grandson and Consort Yu are still young. Consort Yu will give birth to another prince for me sooner or later. When Consort Yu gives birth to the prince, you will have no reason to stop your grandson from making Consort Yu a Noble Consort.”
"Although Consort Yu came from a humble background, she is certainly worthy of the title of Imperial Noble Consort."
Kangxi spoke softly, expressing his dissatisfaction with the Grand Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager, as well as his guilt towards Xu Lejin.
At this moment, in the Cining Palace, the Empress Dowager's face was aged and her eyes were solemn.
With a frown, the Empress Dowager spoke in a deep voice, "The Emperor's thoughts are becoming more and more unpredictable. It's said that the Emperor doesn't like the Consort, but he used to frequently summon her to his bedchamber and even bestowed upon her the title of Consort."

After a pause, the Empress Dowager lowered her voice.
"Your Majesty, no matter what, the twelfth princess, born to Consort Yu, will be raised under your care, and in the future..."
"Even if we take a step back and say that Consort Yu is truly fortunate to have ascended to that position, it is because of Your Majesty's kindness in raising the Twelfth Princess..."
Before the Empress Dowager could finish speaking, she was glared at fiercely by the Grand Empress Dowager.
The Empress Dowager coldly rebuked, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I raised Wuyoudai only because the bright red cinnabar mark between Wuyoudai's eyebrows is exactly the same as that of Solna."
