Maybe Concubine Jing just wanted to sit back and watch?
Every step in the harem is not necessarily good if you don't fight, and it is not necessarily good if you fight. There are gains and losses, but everyone has their own choices.
"Before I entered the palace, my mother fell ill and I took care of household affairs for a year. But the imperial palace is different after all, and I will do my best." Wen Shutang immediately bowed and knelt down.
