Zheng Nianer once again received a signal from her mother, knowing that her 'dream of becoming Empress' was shattered.
She was unwilling to accept it yet dared not reveal it before Emperor Yongcheng.
She pinched her palm hard, the strands of pain reminding Zheng Nianer.
She sobbed with tears streaming down, her eyes full of reluctance, yet she still 'generously' expressed, "It's my fault, I, I shouldn't have developed greed just because I like Erlang!"
"Erlang, you just go and marry those noble ladies who can assist you, don't worry about me, as long as you have me in your heart and are willing to leave a small corner for me in the palace, I'll be satisfied!"
She could not be the Empress, but she must be the Emperor's most beloved woman!
Zheng Nianer's 'gracious compromise' only made Emperor Yongcheng feel more sorrowful.
However, the stance of the wet nurse and Nianer eventually dispelled the hesitation in Emperor Yongcheng's heart.
