Chapter 201 Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Bai Ruiji 28 (The End)
“The title of Consort is not beneath her. Let’s change the title ‘Zhao’ to ‘An’, the ‘An’ that means to be law-abiding and obedient,” Bai Ruiji decided.
"Yes." The Empress's expression remained unchanged, but she was secretly very happy.
Princess Bai Jia is a quiet and gentle person, and has always been honest and dutiful. So the term "well-behaved and law-abiding" is not used to describe Princess Bai Jia, but rather refers to the Bai Jia family.
This just proves that the Empress Dowager is not the kind of person who would give everything for her maternal family, and will not be a second Empress Dowager Renshou, which puts her at ease.
After all, she knew quite a bit about the deeds of her grandfather's Empress Jingren.
The first thing the emperor did after securing his throne was to send troops against the Yu clan to avenge the late emperor, as it was the late emperor's dying wish.
In the end, the Yu clan became part of the Qing Dynasty's territory.
As the saying goes, "Empress Dowager, Consort Xian has passed away."
"The imperial physician had said that Consort Xian was in poor health, but I don't know where she got the strength to keep going. I never expected that she wanted to see the Emperor avenge the late Emperor."
Bai Ruiji clicked her tongue lightly, thinking, "Consort Xian is truly affectionate."
Bai Ruiji stayed in this world for another twenty years before leaving.
Being the Empress Dowager was exceptionally comfortable, but one can easily become lazy if one enjoys it for too long. It's time to leave and continue the journey of mission.

Guarjia Prefecture
"By the grace of Heaven, the Emperor decrees: Guarjia Wenyuan, the eldest daughter of Censor Guarjia Emin of the Censorate, is hereby granted the title of Noble Lady of the Fifth Rank and the honorary title of Qi. She shall enter the palace on the first day of the eleventh month. This is the imperial decree."
"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty." Guarjia Emin led everyone in bowing and expressing their gratitude.
"Please rise, everyone," said the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict, placing it on a tray to the side.
The eunuch delivering the imperial decree pointed to the aunt beside him, "Lord Guarjia, this is Aunt Fangyuan, who teaches etiquette in the palace."
Guarjia Wenyuan gave a slight curtsy, "Greetings, Aunt."
Guarjia Wenyuan, dressed in a red cheongsam, with skin as smooth as jade, bright eyes and white teeth, was beautiful and radiant. At this moment, her sweet smile was like a peach blossom in bloom, stunningly beautiful.
"Lord Guarjia is truly blessed," the eunuch delivering the imperial decree said meaningfully.
E Min smiled faintly and remained silent, feeling proud in her heart. With her precious daughter's looks and the favor she would receive after entering the palace, she would definitely not be inferior to Zhen Yuandao's daughter.
Fang Yuan bowed and said, "This servant Fang Yuan greets Noble Lady Qi. May Noble Lady Qi be blessed."
"Aunt, please get up." At her mother's prompting, Guarjia Wenyuan helped Aunt Fangyuan up.
"You've had a long journey, Eunuch," said Princess Guarjia, handing a stack of silver notes to the imperial messenger. "How many concubines are coming to the palace this time?"
"You're too kind, Madam." The imperial eunuch stuffed the silver note into his breast pocket. "This time, the selection for entering the palace was made from the daughters of meritorious officials, and only Your Highness was chosen to enter the palace."
Lady Guarjia suggested, "Thank you, Father-in-law. The weather is freezing. Why don't you go to the front hall and have some hot tea to warm yourself up?"
"No, there are still matters to attend to in the palace. We need to get back quickly."
The eunuch politely declined the imperial decree and walked out of the mansion. Guarjia Emin and Guarjia Fujin saw him off.
Guarjia Wenyuan resumed her studies in etiquette, and her quick learning earned her frequent praise from Aunt Fangyuan.
She expressed her guilt, saying she had learned it countless times and didn't want to pretend to be learning slowly.
Therefore, Aunt Fangyuan quickly ended the most relaxed teaching session in her career of teaching etiquette.
On the first day of the eleventh month, Guarjia Wenyuan entered the palace with her two maids, Jingtai and Jingran.
