Qin Yi today was able to leave the morning court session earlier than usual, his mind preoccupied with Su Pan'er's illness. As he excused himself, he briskly made his way toward Huayang Palace.
His mood was terrible!
During the morning court session, there was unexpectedly another old minister who was not afraid of death, advising him to take in more concubines to fill the Imperial Harem.
With so many women already stuffed into the harem by everyone else, he hadn't yet thought of a proper way to settle them, and yet they still wanted him to take in more wives, simply asking for trouble—like an old man seeking death by hanging himself!
Considering the other party was a veteran official of four reigns, he simply kept the memorial undeclared. Unexpectedly, the old man took advantage of his age and babbled on and on, not only recommending several ladies from prestigious families but also publicly rebuking him for not even flipping through the cards of the women in the harem!
