Every day, ministers in the court would bring up the matter of selecting concubines.
Emperor Yanxing did not give in.
Years ago, Emperor Yanxing issued a shocking decree.
"Imperial edict: Bei has made great contributions in carrying the imperial heir, and is hereby granted the rank of Fifth Rank Concubine, the title of Jing, and the residence of the main hall of Fuhua Palace."

Fuhua Palace is less than a hundred meters away from Taiji Palace, which is very close.
"Welcome to Her Majesty Jingpin."
Bei Lingyao got out of the sedan chair, glanced at the eunuchs and palace maids, and was helped by Xiao Linzi into Fuhua Palace, isolating herself from the prying eyes of the people around.
