The palace maids gasped in shock.

Upon hearing this, Consort Hu felt disheartened: "Even if family members are close, they are still outsiders to the Imperial Family; that is Your Majesty's beloved great-grandson. There is a distinction between close and distant."
With this in mind, she became increasingly convinced that only if her son became the Emperor could the grievances of the Hu Family be entirely redressed.
The nursemaid said, "Your Majesty wishes to make Zhaozhao a Princess!"
Consort Hu's expression changed: "What?"
She immediately looked at the four accompanying palace maids: "You, tell me, what exactly transpired?"
The lead palace maid carefully explained, "Your Majesty only asked if Miss Zhao Zhao wanted to be a Princess. However, Miss Zhao Zhao declined."
She recounted their conversation verbatim.
