The Empress Dowager laughed, and everyone followed with laughter.
The Empress continued, "Then we are truly grateful to the Imperial Mother. Although we dare not overdo it during the Mourning Period, we are infinitely thankful for the Imperial Mother's hospitality."
Ye Zao sat below, merely joining in with a smile.
In such a situation, she certainly wouldn't speak up.
Consort Qi and Consort Song occasionally echoed a few sentences.
Consort Qi was wholly dissatisfied with her rank.
However, Consort Song was content.
She, a princess, had become a consort in a single leap, something she had never dared to imagine. Even though she had the Third Prince, it was still somewhat beyond her expectations.
So, she felt very honored.
Even the absence of an official title didn't bother her much. After all, Lady Li had once been Consort Fujin.
With such a big difference, it didn't matter anymore.
