Noble Consort Qi's tone, as she spoke these words, suggested a clear unwillingness to allow Jun Yuyan any resistance.
"Your father, the Emperor, is getting on in years, and he wants to hold his grandsons sooner rather than later. You must make more of an effort."
Jun Yuyan had a disability in his leg and his face was disfigured; when Noble Consort Qi heard the suggestion from Murong Man the day before, she became fixated on the idea of holding a grandchild as soon as possible.
Even though the Emperor was aging, he was still full of energy and likely had many years left to him.
By then, the Imperial Grandson would have grown up too.
After so many years of conflict with the Empress, how could Noble Consort Qi stand to see the Second Prince ascend to the throne? Wouldn't that be a dead end for her?
For her own grandson to inherit the throne was the best outcome in her eyes.
