Younger Sister Qi is the daughter of Concubine Yuan. She is only mentioned when Jiang Ruohua comforts the medicine-packet girl by saying that if Concubine Yuan is not well, Younger Sister Qi will also be sad. This implies she has a close relationship with her mother Concubine Yuan and is disturbed by her illness. She is a young child in the mansion, not directly interacting with the main characters but becomes part of the compassionate moment in Jiang Ruohua’s action. She is included in the household tensions, representing the reliance of concubines on the primary branch’s goodwill.
