She had been in the household for nearly three years, and the master had shown her favor from time to time. Unfortunately, her womb was not cooperating. She did not deny that the master treated her specially, and it was this special treatment that made her resentful.
Even through Consort De's influence, they couldn't touch her; the Emperor himself issued an edict to protect her.
She hates it.
If you can't do anything to her, why not annoy her a little and relieve her frustration?
Lady Nara stopped smiling and stared intently at Granny Liu. "Granny, I think Lingyu is quite nice. Your nephew associates with her a lot, and Lingyu also likes your nephew. I, the Princess Consort, will decide to bestow Lingyu upon him as his wife. The fifteenth of next month is an auspicious day. I will also bestow upon Lingyu several sets of jewelry, two sets of dowry, and promote your nephew to the position of deputy steward of the outer courtyard. What do you think?"
These words contained several layers of meaning, and based on the fact that her nephew had a close relationship with Lingyu, Granny Liu could not refuse.
If the outer courtyard servants have an affair with the inner courtyard maids, and the Fujin (principal wife) wants to investigate, even several of her nephews wouldn't be enough to warrant the execution of her.
Granny Liu was covered in cold sweat and felt a chill run down her spine. She quickly knelt down and kowtowed in gratitude.
"Go and inform Eunuch Gao that the master has finished court and that I have something to discuss with him. Please ask him to come to Plum Garden."
"Yes, this servant will go right away." Granny Liu retreated tremblingly.

Yinzhen shook his head, "It's still the same as before, sometimes better and sometimes worse. The imperial physicians can't find the specific cause of the illness, and your fourth sister-in-law is extremely worried."
The Ninth Prince stepped forward and said, "Fourth Brother, is it convenient for you today? Eighth Brother and I would like to visit our nephew Honghui. A servant in the manor recently presented us with an old ginseng root. We'd like to ask the imperial physician if it can be used."
"Thank you very much, Ninth Brother, please," said Yinzhen.
The three of them walked together toward the Fourth Prince's residence, and Thirteen caught up from behind, saying, "Hey, wait for me, I'm here too."
Thirteen ran up to his three older brothers and said, "You guys ran off too fast, I almost missed you."
“Me too! Me too!” Fourteen ran over as well.
"What are you doing here? Get lost," Thirteen said disdainfully to Fourteen, who was always following him around.
