The news of Consort Ning Pin being downgraded quickly spread throughout the harem.
The concubines hastily inquired after the cause.
Unfortunately, there was no one present at the moment it happened, and the Emperor had issued a gag order, forbidding any discussion of the matter.
Hence, these bits of gossip were spread privately by word of mouth.
Some said it was because of The Eldest Princess, others said it was because of Consort Cheng.
However, regardless of the reason, it was not unexpected.
Consort Ning Pin's usual behavior was evident to all.
That afternoon.
Consort Zheng Pin and Consort Yun Pin gathered together to chat and laugh.
Consort Zheng Pin, fanning herself, took a sip of plum juice and laughed.
"Some people, floating up, inevitably sink to the bottom, huh? We are better off like this!"
Back when Consort Ning was favored by The Late Empress, she did not spare these ladies here from her scorn.
After The Late Empress passed away.
