"Am I not virtuous?"
Hearing Jiang Xian ask this, Xie Che couldn't help but laugh. "You like the word 'virtuous'? It's not impossible to give it to you."
A great man's legacy lies in his name, not his mortal self.
In ancient times, many cared more about the mark they would leave in the history books, placing immense importance on their titles in life and their posthumous names. In the harem, the words "virtuous," "moral," and "gentle" were naturally the most sought-after gilded signboards for the Concubines.
As for the Lady, that signifies a high station.
Seeing that she seemed to truly want it, Xie Che, though a bit troubled, subconsciously began to calculate how he could pin the title 'Virtuous' on her... Princess Consort Zhang had always been well-behaved and kept to herself, and Xie Che respected her for it. That meant the only way to pry the word 'virtuous' away was to promote her.
Between a title and the position of Noble Consort, Ms. Zhang would surely choose the latter.
