The Empress's face looked terrible.
Since ancient times, there has always been a distinction between legitimate and illegitimate children.
Originally, her son, the Second Prince, was the legitimate son and should have been appointed Crown Prince.
However, the Eldest Prince was also exceptionally outstanding, having been renowned for his name as the War God in his early years, with many court officials supporting Jun Yuyan as the Crown Prince.
Instead, the legitimate son she gave birth to became secondary.
Adding to this, the Emperor doted on Noble Consort Qi, and she had always believed that the Emperor favored Jun Yuyan. Had it not been for his disfigurement and disability later on, the Emperor would have undoubtedly appointed him as Crown Prince.
It wasn't until recently, when her son told her about Consort Jing Pin and the Third Prince, that she realized how terribly wrong she had been.
