The next day was already the beginning of November.
With the arrival of the winter month, the days became even colder.
Early in the morning, while it was still dark, a row of carriages was lined up at the palace gates.
The servants from Jiaofang Hall were busily moving boxes out one by one.
The concubines also rose early, standing in a line according to their ranks, to see off the Empress.
The Empress was dressed magnificently, in her court attire and Phoenix Crown, looking dignified and esteemed.
Apart from looking a bit unwell, she was otherwise as before, her movements and speech filled with grace and elegance.
She looked around. Noticing Consort Ning was someone she could exchange a few words with, she approached, took her hand, and said with a smile,
"I have already entrusted the Third Princess to the Empress Dowager!"
"Make sure to visit her often. I will return by the end of the year!"
Consort Ning, naturally eager to please, quickly agreed.
