"Moreover, since the Eldest Young Lady ascended the throne, she hasn't bestowed any rewards upon the Bai clan, causing dissatisfaction among them." Bai Qingjue slowly blew on his tea, speaking casually, "If we don't give them a chance to make an appearance during this family banquet, I'm afraid they will harbor resentment, and after a while... they might do something that will trouble us later."
"Actually, to be honest... if the Bai clan members were smart enough, they would realize that staying in Shuoyang is much more enjoyable. It's better to have their sons earn some academic titles! But they insist on exploiting the fact that the Eldest Young Lady became the empress, hoping she might grant them some hereditary title or favor the Bai clan, ideally bringing all Bai clan members into government positions!" Bai Jinzhao curled his lips, "It's simply ridiculous!"
