"He is the eldest son of the Qi family." Bai Qingli said in a faint tone, "His father is currently the left censor of the Censorate, his mother died early, his father married a Xuxian and gave birth to the second son of the Qi family. His eldest son is not very favored ever since."

"Bai Qingli, you seem to know a lot about my ministers' family affairs." Jiu Rao raised his eyebrows, "Is your eyeliner in the imperial capital of Lingguo?"

Bai Qingli raised his eyebrows, "I have checked all of these people who came today long before your decree was issued."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiu Rao was silent.

Ji Huangyu and the other three princes looked at each other, thinking that the head of the Bai family was really brave. He not only investigated the officials of the Ling Kingdom without saying that he had arbitrarily, but also blatantly confessed in front of His Majesty. Do you want to show your strength or show your loyalty to His Majesty with a tough attitude?

Wen Zheng and Mo Hua only felt that the head of the Bai family was unfathomable. Although they were just the ruler of a merchant family, how could a merchant dare to be so arrogant in front of the king of a country?

Moreover... Tian Shu who entered Xuanyin Palace was also trapped in his hands.

What attitude does Your Majesty have towards him?

"The eldest son of the Qi family was instructed by his father before entering the palace, and asked him to please His Majesty." Bai Qingli said calmly, "But he obviously did not want to enter the palace, so he deliberately became the first to show off and played such a song, with the purpose of arousing the disgust of His Majesty and the emperors."

Wen Zheng was surprised.

So that's the case?

No wonder he thought Qi Ziyun looked quite sensible and calm, how could he play this song inappropriately? It turned out...

"The unpopular eldest son entered the palace to please His Majesty, which not only won glory for the family, but also made room to carefully cultivate the second son." Ji Huangyu snorted, "This Lord Qi is very thoughtful."

"Mrs. Qi should not be a good-for-nothing person." Wen Zheng said lightly, "Even if the eldest son is not favored, the rule of orderly being young is enough to make her feel uneasy. Besides, if she is a concubine, it would be okay to say that Qi Ziyun is the legitimate son, so she cannot be treated blatantly, otherwise she will be left with a narrow-minded and deliberately suppressing her stepson. It will have a bad impact on the reputation of Lord Qi when it is reported."

Therefore, sending the eldest son to the palace is the best of both worlds.

But Qi Ziyun is obviously not the one who plays with him. He easily broke the situation with just one song. After returning home, his father asked, and he also used enough reasons to make excuses—

He expressed his admiration with a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix", but the queen didn't like him.

He has done all the efforts he should do, but the Queen doesn't like him. What can he do?

"He is also a smart person." Jiu Rao smiled faintly, "He behaves gentle and politely, has the demeanor of everyone. He can't find any mistakes. He also takes the initiative to present songs. In anyone's opinion, he elegantly expressed his intention to enter the palace, but the final result was what he wanted, he was very smart."

The court officials all wanted her to choose a royal husband to fill the harem, and also wanted to send her son of the right age to the house to the palace to win glory. However, men and women are different after all.

In the past, when the male emperor chose a concubine, he could be sent in to serve the emperor, whether he was a legitimate daughter or a concubine.

But now the Queen is in power.

The legitimate sons in the court officials' families shoulder the responsibility of inheriting the family business and descendants. Most court officials are unwilling to send the legitimate son to the palace to serve the queen, especially those families with only one legitimate son.
