The Empress Dowager frowned, clearly displeased: "Wuya, Yinzhen is a prince after all. How can he have so few children? As his mother, you should take charge of things. Find some good-natured and well-mannered children for Yinzhen to send into the mansion. We must not let those scoundrels make the mansion a mess."
Uya knew perfectly well who this was referring to.
It's nothing more than that Lady Nian, who received the fourth prince's exclusive favor, but unfortunately, she wasn't good at bearing children.
