Shen Wei knew that she and the Princess Consort would eventually stand on opposing sides.
She had to seize the time to grow stronger.
Nanny Rong had been in the Prince's Mansion for a long time, but she had never seen a mistress like Shen Wei—so young yet so clever and perceptive.
Nanny Rong felt a surge of emotion, knowing she had chosen the right person to serve. She secretly resolved to cling tightly to Shen Wei, this budding tree destined for greatness.
Out of concern, Nanny Rong reminded Shen Wei, "Mistress, the Princess Consort is a wolf in sheep's clothing. Now that you're with child, she will surely bring new women into the mansion to divert the prince's favor."
Shen Wei was pregnant, making it inconvenient for her to attend to Prince Yan. The Princess Consort would use this as an excuse to introduce fresh, flower-like beauties into the mansion, stealing Shen Wei's share of affection.
