Empress Dowager Zhen nodded thoughtfully.
"Exactly!"
"In the past, I thought Lady Xia's background wasn't good enough, and being made a Noble Consort was the highest she could reach! The Emperor would marry a woman from a prestigious family into the palace."
"I never expected..."
"That Lady Xia really had the skills of a seductress!"
"She managed to bewilder the Emperor so much that he made her the Empress!"
"Strangely enough, the civil and military officials in the court didn't even oppose it!"
Hai Feng curled his lips into a smile.
"Oppose?"
"What's there to oppose?"
"Her father's official rank isn't high, but her brother and her younger brother, one is the Imperial Guards Commander trusted deeply by the Emperor, the other holds a position in the Ministry of Revenue, and is said to be heavily relied upon!"
"Although the family background isn't high, it is still a literary family!"
