She was like the eldest son there, worry-free. She accompanied the emperor on his western expedition, and no one spoke ill of her upon their return. She also gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson and eldest granddaughter.
I heard that the Third Prince's wife and son have reconciled and are spending every day in the main courtyard. They've abandoned all the previous concubines and maids. Don't think we can't see it; they just want to have a grandson to please the Emperor.
snort!!!
Consort Hui's haughty face? (??3?)?
No matter how many children you have,
No one can compare to our little treasure, Hongyu, who is smart and strong.
You can take your time having the baby; the Crown Prince's son will be born soon.
One's own child is always the best.

Forget about them, let's take a good look at the candidates. We can't choose the one who's hiding a traitor. The prince has so many granddaughters and grandsons. If any of them were to die, the Empress Dowager would be heartbroken.
More than a month later, in May of the 31st year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign, the preliminary selection was over.
He Zhuo walked out of Chuxiu Palace with a blank expression, followed by two glamorous palace maids.
Cao was plump; even a wide cheongsam couldn't hide her ample bosom, and her buttocks were also unusually full.
The other woman, surnamed Dong, was delicate and timid, making one want to pity her.
In truth, He Zhuo felt nothing, but during this time he sensed Consort Hui's awkwardness and displeasure, and guessed that it was probably due to maternal feelings, that the son was no longer his, but his wife's.
The only way for Consort Hui to be happy is to make He Zhuo unhappy.
This is a form of happiness built on the pleasure of others.
Consort Hui had always treated Hezhuo well, and she especially doted on Xiao Zhenbao and Hongyu. Therefore, Hezhuo was happy to indulge her little wish, and also because she believed that Consort Hui would not allow treacherous people to come to the First Prince's residence because of her slight displeasure.
Having spent so much time together,
He Zhuo also knew that Consort Hui valued the eldest prince highly. It wasn't the kind of favor a mother showed to her son that one might expect from a concubine in the palace, but rather the pure and profound maternal love a mother has for her son.
Children born in the palace are often used by their mothers as bargaining chips to climb the social ladder and advance their status. However, He Zhuo sensed that Consort Hui was not like that. Or rather, in Consort Hui's heart, her son came first, and her status came second.
Yinzhi was fortunate in this cold palace, for he had a mother who truly loved him.
Seeing that the First Madam's expression was not good, Dong Hui cautiously said, "Madam, Miss Dong and Miss Cao have been standing in the side room for half an hour. What do you think we should do?"
"Miss Cao, Miss Dong."
He Zhuo pondered the two words, then lightly tapped the teacup with the lid.
"Give the order to arrange for the two young ladies to stay in the two rooms next to Gao's. I remember those rooms are still empty."
Donghui was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered.
"Fujin" means to arrange for her to be a concubine, but Consort Hui just hinted that she should be treated as a princess.
However, she was the wife's servant, and as long as she carried out the wife's orders, there was no need to investigate the reasons.
“You just said it yourself, and besides, Mother didn’t say that. They were originally chosen from among the common people, so it’s perfectly normal for them to be girls. Wasn’t Second Princess’s birth mother, Lady Chao, also a girl? How could they bypass Lady Chao and be arranged to be next to Lady Gao?”
He Zhuo noticed that Dong Hui had been stunned for a moment, and then offered an explanation.
"Yes, this servant understands." It is the master's duty not to explain, but if he does explain, it means that he values the servant, and a servant cannot be ungrateful.
"Go, bring the eldest princess and the eldest prince here, so that we, the mother and the children, can be together."
