Bai Zhi knew that he was an official of the Chu State, and thought he was from the Sea Trade Bureau, but she didn’t expect that he was here by the emperor’s order.

This emperor’s order, under which emperor?

Bai Zhi didn’t dare to reveal her identity casually. After all, in this dynasty, even with her identity, if people knew something happened as this happened, they would laugh at the Dongfang family and Chu Yan.

She asked Master Wu: “When I was in the Chu 3 years ago, I heard that the emperor was not interested in maritime trade. Why did he send you to do business now?”

Master Wu said: “3 years ago was three years ago, and now it is now.”

He cleared his throat and said again: “His Royal Highness Prince Jin was enthroned as emperor 2 years ago under Emperor Taishang’s edict, and was given the title of Emperor Wuzhi.”

It turned out that he was already the emperor.

So now, does he have a queen?

After being the emperor for two years, how can the empress’s seat be left empty?

If she was still there, there would be no problem.

But now such a thing like this happened, they don’t know if they would see each other again, and they couldn’t even see her corpse. Even if he didn’t want to marry another new person so soon, Emperor Taishang and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty would probably not agree.

Seeing Bai Zhi in a daze, Lord Wu smiled and asked: “What happened to Miss Bai?”

Bai Zhi returned to her senses and shook her head lightly: “It’s okay, just a little surprised. In just 3 years, the dynasty has changed.”

Master Wu said with a smile: “You are quite concerned about the court’s affairs. Ordinary girls don’t care about this at all.”

Bai Zhi looked at Master Wu, and there were some things that she didn’t want to ask.

But she couldn’t help, and finally asked: “I wonder which daughter of the current queen is?”

Master Wu raised an eyebrow and looked at Bai Zhi in surprise, wondering why she asked this.

Bai Zhi hurriedly said: “Oh, don’t get me wrong, I am from the capital. I have received the favor of Prince Jin before, and I have to be more careful about his affairs, and have no other intentions.”

Master Wu suddenly thought of the emperor’s handsome and unparalleled face, which woman can’t resist it when she sees it? This Miss Bai must have seen Prince Jin before, so she deliberately asked.

“It’s not a secret, and it’s okay to tell it. When the emperor ascended the throne, there were no concubines in the six palaces, and he didn’t even want a palace maid to serve near him. But at that time, when he first ascended to the throne, the emperor’s position was not stable. To stabilize the emperor’s position, the best way is to marry the daughter of powerful ministers and accept concubines. With the help of the Yue family, the court situation finally stabilized.”

“So, how many concubines does he have now?” Bai Zhi frowned, her heart clenched tightly, and the pain spread to her whole body.

Master Wu tilted his head and thought for a while, “There aren’t many of them. I just chose a few daughters of ministers to enter the palace. They were given titles at the beginning of the year, and I haven’t heard of anyone being favored, but—”

“But what?” Bai Zhi asked anxiously, her hands in her sleeves sweating unknowingly.

“I heard that Marquez Weiyuan has already sent his daughter to the palace. Although she has no title, everyone knows that the young lady of the Wei Family, naturally wants to be the empress when she enters the palace.”

Therefore, Chu Yan will have an empress. Bai Zhi concluded in her heart, and the bitterness in her heart went to the tip of her tongue. She wanted to cry bitterly.

“What’s the matter with you, Miss Bai?” Master Wu asked hurriedly when he saw that her face was getting worse.

Bai Zhi shook her head: “I’m fine, maybe I’ve been on the boat for too long, and I’m a little dizzy.”

When Master Wu heard the words, he immediately ordered someone to invite her into the cabin to rest.

After Bai Zhi and Xiao Qing left, the young man who had been standing next to him leaned forward and said to Master Wu: “Sir, this Miss Bai girl is so beautiful. Looking at her behavior, is it a noble young lady from the capital?”
