She lived in constant fear and trepidation, terrified that one day she would be targeted by those powerful old eunuchs, tortured, and die young in the palace.
Chen was not afraid of death, but she was afraid that after she died, her younger siblings outside the palace would be left without anyone to care for them.
Chen was the eldest sister in her family. Her parents died early, and she had no choice but to enter the palace as a maid to care for her younger siblings. Chen was beautiful, and although she was timid and dull, she possessed an indescribable beauty when she sat quietly.
By the age of fourteen, Ms. Chen had blossomed into a beautiful young woman.
On ordinary days, when walking under the corridor, Chen could feel the lewd gazes of the old eunuchs, and she felt less like a living person and more like a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.
Later, Chen used her influence to be selected by the nanny in the Empress's palace and entered Jingren Palace.
Later, when she accompanied the Empress to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager, the Empress Dowager praised her, saying that she was quiet, well-behaved, and had a docile look in her eyes. As a result, Chen was remembered by the Empress.
Two years later
The Empress bestowed Chen upon the First Prince. Although she was a palace maid, the First Prince generously granted her the title of Princess.
Having served the eldest prince for several years and consumed countless contraceptives, she thought that with his meager favor, she would never conceive in her lifetime. But then, unexpectedly, things took a turn for the better...
At the age of twenty-six, Chen became pregnant and gave birth to the second princess. When she was thirty, she gave birth to the sixth princess.
When the eldest prince ascended the throne, Lady Chen was granted the title of concubine, becoming the head of the four concubines at the time.
A few years later, after Consort Xian and Consort Ke were promoted to Imperial Noble Consort, Lady Chen was subsequently granted the title of Consort Wan. Later, when the Emperor abdicated, Lady Chen was further promoted to Imperial Noble Consort Wan. She lived in the Yuanmingyuan Palace for several years before passing away peacefully in her sleep.
Chen was fortunate in her life. Although she came from a humble background and became a palace maid, she was not tormented by the old eunuchs, had two daughters, and died peacefully.
————
The other former concubines from the Prince's residence, such as Consort Chun (née Su), Consort Jia (née Lu), Consort Yi (née Huang), Consort Fang (née Bai), and Consort Rui (née Suochuoluo), all died peacefully and had children to rely on.
In addition, after the Emperor ascended the throne, the concubines who entered the palace were successively promoted to the ranks of Consort Xi, Consort Qi, Consort Shu, Consort Ying, Consort Tian, Consort Yu, Consort En, and Consort Lan.
