"Are you saying that Consort Chun moved into the main hall of Qixiang Palace as a consort, and that the Emperor allowed it?!"
Consort Yi was puzzled, then shocked.
She entered the palace not long ago and was granted the title of concubine without bearing a child. Although her family background played a part, it was mainly because she was truly beautiful, with a bright and dignified appearance and a straightforward personality, making her unique in the harem. Therefore, she was especially favored. Now, she is pregnant and has heard about Wang Shu's deeds.
Although she wasn't as distressed as Uya, she wasn't in a good mood either.
Especially considering that Qixiang Palace is located in the Western Six Palaces and is not far from her Yikun Palace.

Consort Yi shook her head: "Go and find out about this Noble Lady Chun's background. The way she's being favored is quite unusual. I'm very curious."

Nowadays, in the harem where only a handful of princes can hold the most power, and with many high positions designated by Emperor Kangxi still vacant, everyone is vying for a higher position, making the situation quite murky!
Wang Shu knew nothing about this. If she had known, she would have been more than happy for them to take action, preferably in a more obvious way, like poisoning someone or something!
She had used the self-inflicted injury tactic once, and it worked very well; she wouldn't mind using it more often.
