In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

"..."

The emperor was stuck. "This... Lord Bai cannot be killed. You know that! After all, he is the emperor's uncle. Bai Yansong cannot be killed."

Pei Huizhou nodded and said, "But that Xie can be killed."

"Your Majesty, if you want to kill and avenge the Zhao family's wife, then why don't you kill that Xie?!"

"..."

The emperor was silent.

After that, Pei Huizhou slowly said, "So this Xie and Princess Ruyu are the culprits, but you didn't do anything. Even after the Zhao family's wife died, you still wanted to make Xie your principal wife!"

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do?!"

"If you really want to avenge the Zhao family's wife, forgive me for being blunt... you would have done it long ago and would never have waited until today."

"Your guilt... is that really that much?"

"???"

"!!!"

Listening to what Pei Huizhou said, the emperor felt his face turn red.

“You you you…!!!”

He coughed twice, his face turned red, and said, "What are you talking about?!"

“You bastard!!”

"Yes, I am a bastard."

Pei Huizhou nodded, smiled happily, and said: "I am indeed an asshole, so I am here to refute the king! It is my fault! But Your Majesty, think about it carefully... Doesn't what I said make sense?"

"..."

The emperor fell silent again.

After that, Pei Huizhou slowly said, "The person has passed away, and it cannot be brought back! Your Majesty must understand this truth. Since Your Majesty has asked me to come here, I will naturally tell you everything I know. After all, it is the responsibility of the minister to advise the king."

"The wife of the Zhao family has long passed away, so no matter how much you comfort her or confer a title on her, it will be in vain. It is better to treat the children she left behind well, but there is a limit to kindness."

"If she kills someone today and you help her get away with it, and if she kills another person tomorrow and you help her get away with it again, then what about the day after tomorrow? If she kills 100 people the day after tomorrow, can you still get away with it?!"

"Although Bai Zhiyi is a woman and cannot do anything in the court...but if you spoil her like this, she might easily make a big mistake in the future! Then when you can't even protect her, how can you be worthy of the wife of the Zhao family in the afterlife?!"

"I'm sure that the wife of the Zhao family must be beating her chest and stamping her feet because Bai Zhiyi has been raised to this state. She must feel that this is not acceptable... If you keep protecting Bai Zhiyi, even if the wife of the Zhao family were still alive, she would not agree."

“Yes, you should be kind to Madam Zhao because of her kindness. But Your Majesty, have you ever thought about whether she would protect Bai Zhiyi like this if her mother were really alive?!”

"..."

Hearing these words, the emperor was shocked and his eyes showed a hint of contemplation.

"What you said makes sense."

"If Bingyu were still alive, she would definitely not raise her daughter to be like this. Bingyu is a very upright person."

"When she was alive, she taught her children to defend their country and have no regrets even if they died on the battlefield."

"She also said that everyone has to die, and death can be as heavy as Mount Tai or as light as a feather. Death is not scary, but dying in a cowardly way... is the scariest thing."

"Bingyu's method of educating children makes me think that she is unlikely to protect Bai Zhiyi like this... If she were still alive and knew that I was protecting Bai Zhiyi like this and was going to take back her title of princess, she would definitely be angry with me!"

As he said this, he sighed very sadly.

Listening to what the emperor said, Pei Huizhou smiled, then immediately knelt on the ground and said to the emperor: "Then your majesty, from a personal perspective, this is naturally unreasonable!"

"For the country, that is even more unreasonable."

"She had been conferred the title of a princess before, and now she has been conferred the title again. What merits did she have to...be worthy of being conferred the title of a princess?!"

"The first time she was named a princess, it was because of her ancestors' meritorious service. Then what was the reason for the second time? Was it because of the favor of the royal family?!"

"Isn't this the most ridiculous thing in the world?!"

"Just because of your doting, you want to make her a princess for the second time... There must be a good reason, right?!"

Hearing this, the emperor just felt embarrassed.

Pei Huizhou's words... why do they always hit me in the heart? !

He quickly said to Pei Huizhou: "You are right, you are right... This is definitely ridiculous, we can't keep rewarding her! So I thought about it..."

"It would be better to discuss with the Bai family and ask them to pay out several hundred thousand taels of silver to go to Jiangnan to treat the flood. This way, she can also be considered to have made a contribution, and the source of this money will fall under Bai Zhiyi's name..."

After hearing this, Pei Huizhou nodded calmly, and then asked, "So, Your Majesty, was this money paid by the Bai family, or where did it come from?"

"Did Bai Zhiyi earn it himself?"

The emperor shook his head: "Hey, how could Bai Zhiyi earn money on his own? Of course it was paid by the Bai family!"

"But it's very difficult for the Bai family to come up with a large sum of money now. The elders in the Bai family ancestral hall probably won't agree. Bai Zhiyi... after all, he's not a very likable person."

The emperor pondered for a while, then said with a relaxed brow, "I guess he used the money Bingyu left for Bai Zhiyi to help with flood relief in Jiangnan. So, this can be considered a good deed."

"That's why I'm using this merit to ask for the title of Princess. I guess... it's nothing."

"?"

"Merit? Is it the money she earned herself? Isn't this still ancestral virtue?"

Pei Huizhou showed a sarcastic smile and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, if the money that Madam Zhao took out was what she left behind, you would naturally have to posthumously confer a title on Madam Zhao. What does this have to do with Bai Zhiyi?!"

"The money that Madam Zhao left behind is just that much. Madam Zhao doesn't just have one child, she also has three sons!"

"All three of those sons have made great achievements and left a great reputation in the court! Which of these three sons is not better than Bai Zhiyi?"

"The three of them still have to rely on the kindness of Madam Zhao in the future to show off their power in the court, on the battlefield, and in the business world! If all the kindness left by Madam Zhao was used by Bai Zhiyi alone, and everyone in the court owed Madam Zhao's kindness just for Bai Zhiyi... wouldn't it be a bit unworthy?!"
