At the Chrysanthemum Banquet.
Princess Consort Xiu, Yun Weiwei, who usually kept to herself due to poor health, outdid herself this time by preparing a variety of chrysanthemum dishes and brewing chrysanthemum wine that filled the air with its fragrance, outshining all the other women.
Since Princess Consort Rui, Li Yuhuan, had prepared so little and was of a calm disposition, not competing or seizing, Consort Jing could not heap much praise upon her and thus turned to praise the ingenuity and craft of Princess Consort Xiu, bestowing upon her many rewards.
It was clear to all that Consort Jing was elevating Princess Consort Xiu while belittling Princess Consort Ling.
Prince Xiu was disabled, and his mother had been an empress who was put to death for her crimes, so he had no chance at the throne in this life, Naturally, Consort Jing would point her spearhead at Prince Ling, the only one who could contest her son for the crown.
