When Jiang Wanwan accompanied Jiang Jialin and Madam Lu to the capital to pay their respects to the emperor, the officials in the capital all set their sights on Jiang Wanwan and sent their sons to find ways to win her favor.
When Qi Zhao learned of this, he reprimanded the officials who had designs on Jiang Wanwan during court.
