The Noble Consort, following Nangong Shuangshuang's request, secluded herself in Yingyue Palace for self-cultivation. During this period, the Emperor visited once, but the Noble Consort didn't show an urgent desire to share a bed with him; instead, she tried to be gentle, chatted with him, played chess, and engaged in the 解读 flower activity.
The Noble Consort excelled at the ancient zither, and the Emperor always enjoyed listening to her play. However, the Emperor had very discerning ears, having grown accustomed to the performances of skilled musicians, and he especially valued the emotional depth of a composition.
When the Noble Consort first joined the Emperor, her thoughts were pure, and her exceptional zither skills conveyed deep emotions, which the Emperor liked very much. However, as she spent more time in the harem, her thoughts became less pure, changing from what they once were.
