As a result, Li was reprimanded by the Empress Dowager for being jealous, and then punished by copying the Four Books for Women a hundred times.
As for Jiaming, she only discovered that the Empress Dowager's attitude towards her was not as good as before, but the Empress Dowager did not do anything to her.
Because the Empress Dowager has always been shrewd, and now that the Fourteenth Prince and the Fourth Prince have no conflict and actually have a good relationship, the Empress Dowager's current thought is simply to live her life peacefully. And to live a good life, of course, she can't afford to have a bad relationship with her son, the Emperor.
It's not worth it to fall out with the Emperor over the sake of the Consort. Besides, the Consort is also the mother of Hongxuan, her favorite grandson.
So, after her initial surprise, Jiaming didn't care anymore.
Since the women in the harem couldn't handle Jiaming, they could only suppress their resentment, and thus, the harem returned to a period of peace and tranquility.
With the women of the harem no longer bothering her, Jiaming had more free time, which she devoted to her child and the Fourth Prince.
Hongxuan has grown up and can stand on his own, so Jiaming doesn't need to spend too much time on him.
As for Hongjing, he was just a teenager. Hongxuan helped take care of him outside, and he usually lived in the prince's quarters, so she didn't need to worry about him much. She only needed to spend more time getting to know him and communicating with him when he came back to her palace.
However, her youngest son, Hongxu, was not yet old enough to move to the Prince's residence, so he lived with her, and she spent more time on him.
And then there's the Fourth Prince.
Since becoming emperor, the Fourth Prince has been diligently handling official duties, and it seems that he has been expending too much energy, as his weight has been steadily decreasing.
Jiaming herself was skilled in medicine, so she could tell from a casual touch of the Fourth Master's pulse and a glance at his complexion that he was overworked and exhausted.
She tried to persuade the Fourth Master to pay attention to him, but he seemed to ignore her. Helpless, Jiaming could only try to improve the Fourth Master's health in other ways.
For example, medicinal cuisine.
Even if others learn how to make medicinal cuisine, the effects and taste of Jiaming's dishes are not as good as hers.
After eating, she felt much better and had more energy. So, whenever he had free time, the Fourth Prince would personally go to Jiaming Palace to eat the medicinal meals she prepared.
From the perspective of the women in the harem, it seemed that the emperor doted on the Imperial Concubine, and whenever he had free time, he would go to the Imperial Concubine for meals, while ignoring the other women.
