The clue comes from the wonderful reading of the sentence "The emperor desires officials and his white concubines are often frustrated".
The emperor wanted to be an official and the white concubine was often depressed. The emperor wanted to be an official and the white concubine was often frustrated. This means that the emperor wanted to make Li Bai his concubine, but was rejected with tears.
From this comes the arrangement of monarch and ministers.
By the way, the correct reading of the sentence is: The emperor wants his official position to be white, but his concubines are frustrated. It means that the emperor wanted to appoint Li Bai as an official, but the imperial concubine cried and stopped him.
