The first to become bustling with noise was Changchun Palace. In the wake of Empress Wen getting reprimanded and ‘becoming bedridden’ previously, the management of the six palaces appear as if it was jointly controlled by Imperial Concubine Nie, Xian Consort, and Li Consort, but as time dragged out a little, the seemingly gentle and quiet Imperial Concubine Nie ultimately wasn’t as favored by Xuan Emperor as Li Consort.
Especially considering how Li Consort encountered assassins last time, getting injured that seriously, although Empress Wen also rammed against the pillar to use death to prove her innocence, causing the assassination matter to end unsettled, but the two shallow scars on Li Consort’s forehead and lower jaw still led to Xuan Emperor pitying very much.
In addition to Li Consort previously putting on the appearance of lowering her head and yielding to the empress, giving a deferential and submissive attitude, matched with the empress’s inappropriate behavior during Qin Wang’s marriage arrangements, going around in a circle, the entire inner harem’s state of affairs for the most part returned to the starting point again where Zhu-shi was strong, the central palace weak.
The only thing that differed from before was that the situation between the princes was no longer the same as before, where it leaned towards Changchun Palace because of the son relying on the mother’s noble status. Instead, amidst Empress Wen’s incompetence, the Zhu family’s lack of moral character, and the chaotic situation of Wu Wang’s and Wei Wang’s marriage arrangement, Qin Wang, who had a loving and harmonious relationship with his newly-wedded wangfei, gradually stood out.
Actually, in terms of learning and martial arts, Qin Wang has always surpassed his brothers below. Just, his temperament was overly straightforward and deferential. Previously, before marrying, even if going every day to pay respect to Xuan Emperor, it was also nothing more than just bowing and deferentially asking if his Majesty is well. The exchange between the father and son was even more dull than facing the cabinet ministers. However, now, with the lively and cheerful Ming Jinrou, every time the couple entered the palace to pay their respects, they were all able to happily chat for half an hour. Even if the great majority of the times, Qin Wang still didn’t speak much, just listening to Ming Jinrou talk, but in Xuan Emperor’s eyes, it was ultimately different.
