Empress Dowager Qi’s words were straightforward, simply put, for someone of Wang Yingluo’s lowly status, in the matter of the selection of consorts, she didn’t even have the leeway to speak, let alone put forward any opinions.

It made clear her disdain for Wang Yingluo’s status, without the slightest pretense.

Such was the nature of Empress Dowager Qi, who in her earlier years had been a favored consort, although merely a shield for Consort Jing, she had indeed enjoyed glory and favor for most of her life. After the late emperor passed away, as the mother of the Emperor, she naturally became even more proud and haughty.

Initially, she had looked down on Murong Jiu, and now even more so at the farmer’s daughter Wang Yingluo, feeling that the latter exuded a sense of pettiness befitting a lowly household.

Empress Dowager Qi was indifferent to whatever women her son chose to amuse himself with, provided they did not tarnish the Imperial Family’s reputation. Even if her son brought home a widow, she wouldn’t object.

With such a background, and a son who had been established as the Crown Prince early on, Empress Dowager Qi was very pleased with Murong Jiu as the Empress.
