Chapter 12: Regret
Originally, the matter of Concubine Rong’s childbirth was almost becoming a joke in the palace.
Everyone knows now that Concubine Rong had a hasty labor and almost gave birth in the Imperial Garden.
Just by listening to other people’s descriptions, the concubines could imagine how miserable Concubine Rong was at that time.
She is a noble concubine with graceful appearance and extraordinary temperament!
If this were mentioned in public, you can imagine how interesting the imperial concubine’s expression would be.
Unfortunately, no one had the courage to do so. If they were torn apart by the angry and humiliated imperial concubine, it would be a waste of time and effort.
They thought that the Emperor would be very pleased with the birth of a son, and with his favor, it would not be difficult for her to be conferred with the title of Imperial Noble Consort.
The Queen of Changchun Palace was so nervous that she couldn’t sleep for several nights. What was unexpected was that after Concubine Rong gave birth to a healthy prince, her rank was not promoted, but she was treated with unprecedented coldness.
It would have been fine if the emperor was busy handling government affairs on the day of the birth, but he didn’t even attend the subsequent third-day bathing ceremony, which clearly showed that he didn’t value this prince.
