Seeing this, Jing Chun said, "His Majesty said that Concubine Song was pregnant and it was not convenient for her to live in Cuiwei Palace, so he asked the Empress to build another palace for Concubine Song to move to Suining Palace and also gave her a lot of gifts."
"Is that all?" Xue Zhiyi asked.
