Indeed, Qi Xiuyuan would not watch Madam Xia be bullied. Hence, not long after Madam Xia left the palace and returned home, an imperial edict was sent to the Fan Residence.

Qi Xiuyuan conferred Madam Xia the title of the first-grade Lady of National Favor. The reason was that she had raised Prince Rong and raised him, the Emperor.

In other words, Madam Xia didn't owe her title of the Lady of the Imperial Command to her son nor her husband. Instead, she earned it herself. Moreover, the title of 'National Favor' made her title the most significant among the first-grade Ladies of the Imperial Command. For a moment, Madam Xia became the envy of the noblewomen of Great Qi.
