In the Fourth Prince's backyard, Lady Su remained quiet, as if she were invisible.
Sometimes, the Fourth Prince would come to Madam Su's courtyard, but only to handle official business. Madam Su would quietly sit to the side, copying Buddhist scriptures over and over again, without ever rushing to serve the Fourth Prince.
Having lived in the Prince's mansion for many years, Lady Su remained a virgin. She wondered if the other princesses and concubines in the mansion were the same as her...
Later, the Fourth Prince ascended the throne.
Sakda was made a concubine, and Su was made a noble lady, and was given the title 'Yu'.
Su was struggling to make a living under her stepmother's care. She had little formal education and didn't know the meaning of 'Yu'.
Lady Su didn't inquire further. In short, Lady Su was the Empress Dowager, later known as the Grand Empress Dowager, and a very Buddhist person.
Years ago, Su's maternal family would send letters to the Fourth Prince's residence or even into the palace, their messages implying that Su should seek official positions and benefits for her family. Su would always just smile and toss the letters aside.
Because, for Su, her maternal family held no ties whatsoever.
Later, because of her obedient and quiet nature, Lady Su was exceptionally granted the title of Consort Yu.

Emperor Yonghe suddenly bestowed the marriage of Su's grandniece to a member of the imperial clan, a prince.
A few years later, Emperor Yonghe abdicated in favor of his son, Crown Prince Hongxu, and became the Retired Emperor. The Retired Emperor, along with Consort Su and other concubines, went to the Yuanmingyuan Imperial Palace, where they stayed for ten years. The Retired Emperor and the Retired Empress passed away one after the other.
The retired emperor and retired empress passed away one after another. In that year, Lady Su was honored as the Imperial Noble Consort Yu.
In a daze, after who knows how many years, news came from the palace that Emperor Gan'an had also abdicated, his second son had ascended the throne, and Emperor Gan'an had passed away...
Lady Su was once again honored as Imperial Noble Consort Chunyu, the ancestor of the emperor.
Although she had no children and remained a virgin her entire life, Mrs. Su enjoyed a happy life in her later years.
Su's grand-nephew-in-law, by imperial decree, took Su to the Prince's residence to be cared for.
