It seems I am no longer as favored as I once was.
Lady Yao locked herself in her room.
The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. Now, she dared not bully Lady Wen; her son was the Great Commander, holding a high official rank. She also dared not bully that detestable Xia Jingfeng; Consort Xian Pin was his elder sister, after all. Not only could she not bully them, but she also had to coax and flatter them. Unable to provoke this one, and having to respect that one, how did she end up as the lowest of them all? Even a concubine was now more proud than her? What kind of life was this she was living?
The more Lady Yao dwelled on it, the more heartbroken she became, until she finally had the Wetnurse Nanny hurriedly summon her son and daughter.
She held each one in her arms.
"Wei Feng, Ruyi..."
Xia Weifeng, not understanding, felt a bit uncomfortable and quickly struggled free.
Xia Ruyi, on the other hand, was quite sensible and asked, "Mother, what's wrong?"
