Noble Consort Li shook her head, "Don't go. If word gets out that she bore a son, I will just ask the Imperial Physician, and the Empress will definitely take the opportunity to show off."
"Your Highness, you must not be anxious. The child has only been born; it takes real skill to raise him well. Think about how many children have passed away in the imperial harem," Mrs. Ren hurriedly comforted Noble Consort Li, fearing that her anger could harm her health.
Noble Consort Li relaxed a bit after this, and then she felt slightly better. Looking at Mrs. Ren, she said, "I know you're comforting me, Mrs. Ren. But the Eastern Palace is not like the imperial harem; the Eastern Palace has only one Crown Princess. Could that child possibly not be well-raised?"
The high mortality rate among the children in the imperial harem was because there were too many people here.
