The Imperial Palace.
Taiji Hall.
The seventh prince had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, but the emperor never came.
"Seventh Prince, His Majesty has instructed me to send you back. Today's matters will be discussed again at court." Li Mu came personally, making the trip.
"Thank you, Eunuch Li. But where is my father now?" The Seventh Prince did not believe that his father would really neglect state affairs for a woman.
Although that woman was exceptionally beautiful, one could say she was stunningly beautiful, a beauty that could topple kingdoms and make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and a beauty that could rival the heavens, if she were not a woman from the Bai family, he would definitely cherish her as a treasure.
"Your Highness, this servant cannot disclose the details, but Consort Rong is feeling slightly unwell." Li Mu did not state the exact words, but he still informed the Seventh Prince of Consort Rong's condition.
"It was my mistake." The Seventh Prince, Zhou Changling, understood Li Mu's surrender and would take care of him.
"This servant respectfully sees off His Highness the Prince." Li Mu looked at the boy in front of him. The boy had grown up. His eyes were no longer as clear as before, and his thoughts were much more complicated. Looking at the young boy who had grown up step by step, he felt emotional.

Early morning.
After discussing state affairs with his ministers, the emperor immediately announced that he would bestow the daughter of the General of the North upon the seventh prince as his principal wife, and the prime minister's legitimate daughter upon him as his concubine.
The image of Bai Lingxi's bright, star-like eyes and her stunningly beautiful face flashed through the Seventh Prince's mind. For some reason, he felt a faint reluctance in his heart.
But he quickly suppressed this emotion and stepped forward to receive the decree: "Thank you, Father Emperor. Your son thanks you for your great favor."
Seeing that he had no objections, the emperor prepared to end the court session, and gave Li Mu a look.
"If you have something to report, speak now; otherwise, the court may adjourn," Li Mu announced loudly.
"I have something to report," Prime Minister Zhao said, stepping forward with his hands clasped.
"Speak." Emperor Zhou Jin remembered that his eldest daughter was the future consort of the seventh prince. Could it be that the prime minister was unwilling to marry off his daughter?
"Your Majesty, my second daughter participated in this imperial concubine selection and was fortunate enough to be chosen. I dare to ask, for the sake of my daughter's future, when will she enter the palace?" Zhao Zikai knelt in the main hall and kowtowed to show his loyalty.
"Oh, I forgot that your daughter was also on the list of nominees. Then let her enter the palace tomorrow and be granted the title of Consort Zhao." The emperor remembered this and waved his hand. He wanted to see what the Imperial Noble Consort Yi and this woman were up to.

Soon Zhao Xueqing entered the palace. She was very excited, having heard that Consort Rong had won the Emperor's favor and become the most favored concubine in the palace.
She wanted to have an epic romance with the emperor even in modern times, and besides, after the system transformation, she didn't think she was any worse than Bai Lingxi.
So on the third day after entering the palace, Zhao Xueqi stepped into Luanxi Pavilion triumphantly, wanting to see just how beautiful this woman, rumored to be the most beautiful woman in the world, really was.
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to Consort Rong." Zhao Xueqing bowed respectfully to Bai Lingxi, her expression flawless.
Bai Lingxi immediately perked up. She hadn't expected her target to deliver himself to her doorstep. She mobilized her spiritual power, wanting to give the other person a full-body checkup.
"Come forward and let me take a look." As Bai Lingxi approached, she suddenly grabbed Zhao Xueqing's hand, and spiritual energy spread along her arm.
"Warning, warning, the system is under attack from an unknown source—ah!" Before Zhao Xueqing could react, the system let out a scream.
That's right, Xi Xi forcibly removed the system from Zhao Xueqing's body. This operation was like cutting off the fuel supply. She thought the wild little system was incredibly powerful, but it was gone in an instant.
Hehe, that's how amazing she is. XiXi's little tail is practically wagging in the air, and her smug little chin is held high.
Because Bai Lingxi used the spiritual energy extraction system, Zhao Xueqing did not experience any pain, making it a painless separation.
Xixi did do a good deed after all, and she wagged her little tail proudly.
