The rise in status brought the wealth and honor she had longed for, and Qiu Yuying became somewhat overconfident.
Aside from Prince Wei, she didn't even regard the Princess Consort.
A common trope in romance novels: the noble main wife who is not favored, and the low-born favored concubine who harmonizes like a lyre with the husband.
The main wife must mind rules, propriety, and keep up appearances despite grievances.
The favored concubine doesn't have to worry about these things, acting arrogantly and wilfully, even if it doesn't end well, she would've fully enjoyed and indulged, without any grievance.
If Prince Wei could ascend to that throne, she might even become the cherished Demon Concubine in the harem.
The thought of it was exciting.
Qiu Yuying felt inflated, her heart and mind filled with ambitions for the future.
Of course, Qiu Yuying did not forget about the serious matters.
