Lord Shao found himself in a quandary, considering his two brothers still residing nearby.
With the prospect of not securing a place in the harem, Bai Ruirui contemplated the option of becoming a princess consort.
Initially resistant, Bai Ruirui grappled with the idea. Lord Shao, despite his humble origins, had ascended to the position of Primus, earning admiration for his intellect and skill. However, compared to him, his two brothers were simple farmers.

Despite her initial refusal, both Old Lady Fan and Fan Ruyin saw merit in the proposal, joining forces to persuade her.
