Consort Jing. :( I mean, the things she does in her limited space are really cool, but it's still sad for her to be limited like that.
YES :( I mean, I guess if a big part of what she did was raise Jingyan to be the kind of person who would make a good Emperor, that is nontrivial, but even that's over with now, and she isn't involved in politics...
...I have looooots of inchoate Thoughts about the parallels and differences between Consort Jing and Abigail/King David. I have always wanted to write a fic about Abigail being a mom -- my first Yuletide, I wrote an Abigail & Bathsheba, and ever since then I have had a lot of backstory floating around in my head (including that she raises her son to get the heck out of David's dysfunctional court). Though I imagine Abigail to be rather more political than Consort Jing (though it seems clear the latter understands the politics completely (and has mostly passed that along to her son), she just refuses to get drawn into the cesspool).
