The news of the Eldest Prince being conferred the title of Prince Lian spread, causing unrest in several places in the harem. However, when they learned that the Princess Consort Lian was merely a merchant's daughter, they all laughed.
It seems the Eldest Prince has fallen out of favor with the Emperor.
In that case, it's good, one less competitor.
Some even thought about the Sixth Princess, now that the Eldest Prince is out of favor, is it time to reclaim some interest?
Yet when their spies reported that the Emperor left the palace with the Sixth Princess to have fun, and upon returning, dined at Lanxin Hall and played chess until the first quarter of the Hai hour, only then leaving Lanxin Hall.
In an instant, those with restless hearts immediately extinguished their thoughts.
The Sixth Princess is merely a princess, anyway, there's no conflict with her. She's just favored a bit more, but in a few years, she'll be married off. What's there to fight over with her?
