Yin Guiren, standing to the side, looked down at her flat stomach, her face full of bitterness and helplessness.
She and Consort Gong were both granted titles by the Emperor back then. Her initial title was Changzai, while Consort Gong was only a Ying. Now...
Consort Gong has been granted a title, which is half a rank higher than hers, while she...?
Now that she's old, the Emperor has forgotten about her, and she's long since fallen out of favor. Having a child of her own is now an impossible dream.
Everything is predestined; nothing is up to us.
Ningpin's Palace
Consort Ning was stunned by the sudden and unexpected joy!
She knew she wouldn't be made a concubine, and guessed that even with the Emperor's boundless favor, she could only raise one princess to bring him joy. But now, the Emperor actually asked her to raise the Sixth Prince.
Although the Sixth Prince was born with fair skin and feminine features that displeased the Emperor, he was still a prince and of royal blood.

The palace maid Danzhu was stunned for a moment.
"Your Majesty, Consort Xin is the Sixth Prince's birth mother. If she has too much contact with him, I worry that when he grows up, he won't be close to you."
Consort Ning looked up at Danzhu and said in a deep voice, "His Majesty only asked me to raise the Sixth Prince. He did not change the Sixth Prince's genealogy. The Sixth Prince's birth mother is still Consort Xin. I am just a foster mother."
"Since she is my foster mother, why should I be the villain who separates Consort Xin and the Sixth Prince from each other? The Sixth Prince was raised by me and will be my son and Consort Xin's son in the future. It would be good for the Sixth Prince to have another mother who loves him."
Danzhu opened his mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words that were about to come out.
