"Congratulation, Consort Rong. Now you are officially the mother of this country."
"what do you mean by now, she was from the beginning."
"Yes, she is the mother of such an outstanding son if not for her nobility did you think it was possible."
Concubine and Imperial wives has lower position than consort. They have to suck up for consorts to live a peaceful life in harem, since Consort Rong control all the harem basically everyone worship even they don't want it.
Since only the Consorts were allowed to present in court, they don't know what happen there. Thinking Consort Rong personally made all the arrangement for this feast and her strong background they straightly went towards her.
After getting all the slap she has covered her face in a veil so nothing much abnormal was seen. Even a certain concubine thought her face was glowing in proud not knowing it was the redness from a good beating.
Not want to cause commotion Consort Rong neither agree or deny, she simply send away them to continue their work.

The environment looks more lively than in court, due to the challenge issued by king many high officials were discussing about it.
"After a long time we finally going to see the fight again."
"But making a lady fight isn't it too brutal, a fine young man has much more energy."
"Challenge means not only fight, it maybe something else too."
"What to challenge to a lady minister, doing makeup or organizing household."
"Organizing a household is also not an easy Minister it needs brain and strength."
Minister Rong who has just arrived spoke in indifferently. Although this fight is against his power he was utterly sure it won't harm him completely.
"Minister Rong, first prince is so outstanding already, but his majesty...sigh" one of the minister states disappointedly.
"Humph, A Mere wind can't even blow my hair, and whole me they need next life too." Being in top position among princes he was too arrogant to ignore.
The boot licking minister immediately chime in.
"Of course, our first prince in talent in every field. What even his Majesty think of competing between them."
"First prince only need to raise a finger to kill powerful opponent, she is such a delicate white lotus. She doesn't worth fighting."
"Our First prince master is one of the top in the shadow guard organization and he is his adored discipline, it is impossible to win against him in her dream also."

Since Consort Rong has suffered a big humiliation she dared not to sit on a host sit again. Seeing her sit instead with other consort place, concubine and other imperial wife began to gossip. Under the nosy look she had her head down and furious gaze.
The occasion which should bring happiness to her was simply turned into nightmare. She has especially prepared everything in this event. All the utensils used, all the dishes were prepared as her son's taste, colors of table clothes, cushion and even the sits were made astonishing. But all her hard work has benefit other, she not only suffers from humiliation and got slap until she is beyond recognition but a girl she hasn't value become a successful heir.... what a bad day.
