The Imperial Palace finally had an Empress. After a successful wedding night, the next step was a tea party with all the concubines.
This was to help the Empress find power behind the palace walls. The Empress would show the concubines her might and gain allies. She would also be able to identify the unruly concubines that need to be shown a lesson.
"Are you sure you will be okay?" Bai Zhenli asked. He knew what today was, and how it would affect future struggles within the palace walls.
After all, his mother was the Empress and as her child, he had witnessed the many events in the harem. His mother fought tooth and nail to make sure he would survive. Unfortunately, she had died before she could see him rise to the throne.
If possible, Bai Zhenli didn't want Qin Yinling to face the same fates. There will be many enemies who wish for the Empress's downfall. But no matter how well he protects her, if she can't protect herself, there's no use.
