The monarch observed the interaction between Jiang Yichun and Bai Ruozhu, realizing that this family heeded the lady's words. Moreover, with Mrs. Bai being an expert in both medical and mystical arts, she commanded respect.
With this in mind, the monarch became even more courteous toward Bai Ruozhu. Jiang Yichun looked very pleased; to him, showing courtesy to his wife was the same as showing courtesy to himself.
After the meal, the monarch said he would arrange for them to stay in a certain palace. Bai Ruozhu thought about it and said, "If it's convenient, Qingyou Hall would do."
The monarch was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Very well, Qingyou Hall it is. The place is spacious and not bound by convention; I'll arrange some maids to attend to you."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Bai Ruozhu did not object. If it was so inconvenient that no one would fetch meals or pass messages, and no one to clean, wouldn't that tire out Chenfeng and the others?
