The Empress couldn't help but admire Gao Gao Pin's cleverness and composure, seeing through the Emperor's indifferent and decorous nature, and wisely refraining from using such a good opportunity to curry favor with the Emperor.
Therefore, she continued to say to Nuoxiang, "Now that Gao Gao Pin has reported this matter to me, she has given me a chance to shine in front of the Emperor, thus pleasing me, and I naturally appreciate her gesture.
The Emperor will also think highly of her for not using such matters to seek favor, but instead understanding the rules to report to me. She need not offend the entire palace of concubines. I won't mention it, the Emperor won't mention it, and she will quietly gain benefits. Isn't she smart in achieving multiple gains in one move?"
