Thinking of this, Gu Youyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
It's laughable that the Empress would ask Lin Qianqing about such matters. What could she possibly know?
Clearly, she was just looking for trouble.
"I, your daughter-in-law, don't know," Lin Qianqing replied softly.
"You don't know? As the principal wife, have you not fulfilled your duties? Or are you tired of being the principal wife and want me to find someone else for the position?"
"I..." Lin Qianqing was about to argue, but the Empress interrupted her.
"This Palace has decided, in Prince Jin Residence, regardless of status high or low, whoever gives birth to a Prince first shall be the principal wife."
Lin Qianqing was instantly stunned, and after a moment, she let out a bitter laugh and whispered, "Yes, as Mother Empress wishes."
This was indeed a perfectly reasonable excuse to remove her from the position of principal wife, and she couldn't say anything against it.
