Therefore, the fact that Xu Lingyi was made a concubine as soon as she entered the palace made many people inside and outside the palace feel uneasy.
"I'm not angry, why should the princess be angry?"
When Princess Minghua heard that the daughter of the Xu family was going to enter the palace and that she would be given the position of concubine, she entered the palace immediately.
"I feel sorry for my mother. She has been in the palace for so many years, managing palace affairs for my father, and she is only a noble concubine. Why does the daughter of the Xu family have the right to be so high?"
Princess Minghua was indignant.
"Princess, don't be angry. She is the daughter of the Xu family. General Xu has served in the frontier for many years and is deeply trusted and valued by your father. It is not surprising that he was given the title of consort. I just didn't expect that the Xu family would be willing to let their youngest daughter enter the palace."
The Xu family's daughter will not have trouble finding a husband, and she has just reached the age of marriage. The Xu family loves their daughter and is not the kind of family that would sell their daughter for fame and fortune.
"The Xu family is shameless. They'll do anything to please our father. They call themselves loyal ministers. I think they're just flatterers."
Not only the imperial concubine and Princess Minghua were surprised, many families in the capital were also surprised by this matter.

Li Xu's residence.
"The Xu family's daughter has entered the palace." Li Xu wrote, "The Xu family actually agreed to this? I used to hear that the Xu family doted on their youngest daughter, but now it seems all lies."
"Your Highness, this shows the hypocrisy of the Xu family. General Xu is a man of deep thoughts. He has been cultivating his daughter's reputation for many years. I'm afraid this is all for this day. He wants to present his daughter, who has just come of age, to Your Majesty. This will not only demonstrate his loyalty to Your Majesty, but also deepen his relationship with Your Majesty."
"I heard his daughter is stunningly beautiful and has just reached the age of marriage. If she enters the palace, she will surely be favored by His Majesty. With the influence of his influence, the Xu family's position will be even more secure. It seems that although General Xu is a military commander and appears to be upright and incorruptible, he is actually more cunning and scheming than some treacherous ministers."
Li Xu nodded, "We underestimated him before. We must be more cautious when dealing with him in the future. However, His Majesty likes people like General Xu. In His Majesty's heart, General Xu may be his most loyal minister."
Li Xu put a big cross on the two words "Xu Family" that he had just written.
"If I were the Lord, I would never trust such a double-faced person. Moreover, the Xu family has been in the frontier for many years, and their achievements surpass those of the Lord. The people of the frontier only know General Xu, but not the name of the Lord. If such a person wanted to rebel one day, it would probably cause great unrest."
Li Xu's advisor nodded. "Yes, it's not uncommon for military generals to rebel and ascend the throne since ancient times. Civil officials, without military power, are left to their fate at the mercy of the emperor. This is why the emperor is extremely wary of military generals. I just don't know if your majesty truly trusts the Xu family, or if..."
The counselor didn't say anything else, but Li Xu started laughing.
"Of course the latter possibility is more likely."
He asked himself, if he were to sit in that position, he would probably worry about the Xu family day and night.
How could he really trust the Xu family?
If he came to power, the first thing he would do would be to seize the Xu family's military power and wipe out the Xu family.
After all, the situation on the border is much better now, and he doesn't think General Xu is irreplaceable. This dynasty has outstanding talents, so can't we find someone who can lead the troops to fight?
