I heard that Bai Zhiyi is also going to enter the palace for the imperial concubine selection, and her parents have already chosen their illegitimate daughters to enter the palace for the selection.
After a long while, when Consort Li saw that Bai Zhiyi's legs were trembling and she was about to give up, Consort Li finally spoke up: "Miss Bai, why are you still standing there? Get up quickly."
Bai Zhiyi stood up with a pale face, beads of sweat running down her temples, looking quite pitiful.
She tightened her grip on the handkerchief in her hand and smiled gently: "Consort Xie Li."
A dark glint flashed in Consort Li's eyes as she narrowed her long, phoenix-shaped eyes and looked at Bai Zhiyi.
Unexpectedly, the emperor actually set his sights on Bai Zhiyi.
That really made her look bad.
She had previously swallowed her pride and repeatedly urged the Duke's mansion to expedite the Fifth Prince's marriage, but they had all given her the runaround. And now?
But it's good that she's in the palace; we'll see how I deal with her then.
A eunuch's voice came from outside: "His Majesty has arrived!"

Consort Li sneered inwardly.
That old man, he put on such a high-sounding facade. But all he really knows is that Bai Zhiyi is here. Thinking back to how he even wanted to marry Bai Zhiyi to his son, just thinking about it now makes me sick.
However, to her surprise, Emperor Kangping only glanced at Bai Zhiyi briefly before looking away.
No one knows what Emperor Kangping was thinking.
After exchanging a few words, Emperor Kangping got up and left. Seeing this, Bai Zhiyi also bid farewell to Consort Li and went out to catch up with Emperor Kangping.
Consort Li did not stop her, but watched Bai Zhiyi's departing figure with a sinister smile on her lips.
