章節 174: Chapter 0174: Defiance

Others aside, Noble Lady Wei, who gave birth to the Eighth Prince, has spent so many years still stuck in the position of a noble lady.

Lady Zhang Jia, who brought forth the Thirteenth Prince, is still but a concubine to this day, and Lady Wang, who bore three princes, remains a concubine as well.

In the imperial harem, there are several who have given birth to princesses, whether they are concubines or noble ladies, there is still no hope for promotion.

Yet Consort Yu, with such a lowly origin, merely by virtue of carrying a child, was promptly elevated to the rank of consort.

To use a modern phrase, that's just asking for resentment.

On the tenth day, everything was ready early in Yanxi Palace.

Since there was no empress, for a promotion to consort, one only needs to kowtow in Qianqing Palace, then pay respects to the Noble Consort in Chengqian Palace, after which a banquet would be held back in Yanxi Palace.
