Xiao Yuling was choked by the remark and stared at Xiao Yunjing. "What are you talking about? Wouldn't I wish for all my grandchildren to have good lives and happiness? But with what you're doing, do you think you can stop those ministers of the former dynasty from gossiping? Can you silence all the wagging tongues?"
At this moment, which minister's family wasn't thinking about sending their daughters into the palace? If they became the Emperor's father-in-law, those men could sleep more soundly at night. They even used the excuse that for the sake of Daqian's state and stability, the Emperor must take more consorts.
What a load of nonsense! Those men could sleep soundly, but the Emperor would be plagued with headaches from all the endless affairs of the court and the harem.One consort competes for favor today, and another competes tomorrow. The Emperor's harem might seem stable, but the Dragon Throne itself might not be.
