Chapter 253
The Imperial Empress quickly voiced her support, “The Imperial Tutor speaks the truth! This concubine was also present at the time, so she heard those exact same words! Not to mention Bai Ruoqi is also Bai Liufeng’s niece. By choosing her, the Emperor is giving them great favour. As the proverb says, one pen cannot write two names. How can we say we are letting down Lord Bai?”
As the Imperial Empress spoke, her eyes shone with a grateful light.
Originally she was still distressing over how to convince the Emperor and Empress Dowager. But she was restricted by her harem status so those words could not be said.
The Imperial Tutor thus assisted her immensely. If she is able to make Bai Ruoqi the Crown Prince’s Imperial Consort, she must prepare a few precious gifts to really thank the Imperial Tutor!
That year when the Crown Prince became his disciple, it was the correct choice!
Listening to this, the Emperor thought those words sounded fair and did not refute them.
Thinking over it, the Imperial Empress Dowager spoke out carefully to supplement her previous words: “Emperor, allowing Bai RuoLi to marry into the Palace may not necessarily be helping her. If you truly wish the best for her, then you should not make her the Crown Prince’s Imperial Consort. And this way, you will be truly making the best decision for Bai Liufeng!”
The Emperor frowned at those words: “What do you mean by those words?”
The Imperial Empress explained: “Apart from the Imperial Consort, the Crown Prince also has four side concubines. All positions and titles that must be given in accordance to the law. As for these four side concubines, each much be chosen from prestigious families, all with talents of the second grade or higher. Bai Ruoli possesses a physique that does not allow her to cultivate, so even if she were to sit on the position of Imperial Consort, how can she possibly suppress the four side concubines? I’m afraid in the Crown Prince’s palace, it would be hard to avoid being bullied everyday.”
