Even a Noble Consort, in the eyes of the Empress, is but a high-status concubine.
However noble, she remains a concubine!
Therefore, the Empress spoke with complete confidence!
Noble Concubine Shih's face nearly turned green.
This... what is this all about! The Empress, she actually dares... she dares...
Her eyes were almost popping out. She opened her mouth several times, but in the end, she swallowed her words back.
"You... HMPH!"
The Empress glanced at her, her expression filled with disdain.
With a cold snort, she ignored her and readily dismissed the matter.
Then, she smiled faintly and said, "Enough, enough. The Emperor has a new Princess; it is, after all, a joyous occasion!"
"However... there are still too few Princes. You must all be more considerate, serve the Emperor well, and strive to bear His Majesty a dragon heir as soon as possible."
Everyone lowered their eyes submissively.
"We humbly accept the Empress's teachings!"
