"Her?" The emperor looked down at his palm, as if he had remembered something, a smile playing on his lips, and then said, "How interesting."
"What title does Father Emperor intend to give her? Zhaoyi or Jieyu?"
"Isn't Yongning Palace still empty? Let her live there."
Prince An's face showed surprise: "You mean to give her a palace principal position and make her a concubine?"
"She's here for a political marriage, just to give King Yunjiang face, so that word gets out that I mistreated his daughter and didn't think much of Gu Jiangli."
Prince An nodded as if suddenly realizing something: "Father's thoughts are indeed profound, far beyond my reach."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can go back now."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I shall take my leave. Your congratulatory gift has already been sent to your palace."

Lotus pouted, "It's just that you, Princess, are too kind and only think about speaking up for them."
Gu Jiangli patted her head to comfort her: "By the way, Lotus, send some silver to the families of those three dead maids. After all, they've been with me for so long."
Lotus nodded, understanding her: "I understand, Your Highness. I will take care of it."
