"The Empress, please choose the second song!"
Empress Fucha smiled as she held up the opera script: "Today is Chun's birthday, so let's choose 'Heavenly Official's Blessing'."
Consort Chun smiled and thanked her, "Thank you for your kind words, Your Majesty the Empress."
Seeing the harmonious scene between his wives and concubines, Emperor Qianlong laughed even more heartily.
Ji Huan sat in the back listening, her gaze occasionally falling on Consort Xian. They had already heard two parts of the play, and Consort Xian was still fine. The flower-viewing was an easy opportunity to make a move, but no one had done so.
Everyone is sitting and listening to the opera right now; it's not a good time to make a move.

Emperor Qianlong, the Empress, and Consort Xian each requested a performance, and Ji Huan was almost asleep by the time it ended.

It seems she still needs to work harder. Historically, even Consort Ling was able to become a concubine without having children. If she puts in the effort, it might not be impossible for her.
