The Emperor was a diligent ruler; of the ten times Ling Hua entered the palace, on nine occasions the Emperor would be in the Imperial Study, either reviewing memorials or receiving court officials. As for the Harem, he would only flip through the name plates at night, rarely lingering there with the concubines during the day.
In this regard, Ling Hua greatly admired him. Since ancient times, emperors with three thousand beauties of varying beauty relished their joy. Very few were as diligent as him, indeed countable on one hand.
The example set from above led to court officials in this generation who were seldom lost in the pleasures of Wenrou Village.
Even the annoying Xiao Ze, while having more women in the Eastern Palace than His Majesty himself and more lustful, though often neglecting human affairs, fixed his gaze mostly on the court and territories beyond the Capital, rarely spending all day lying on a woman's belly.
