On the fifteenth, Old Madam and the Heir's wife went to the palace early in the morning. When they returned, they were all smiles, and there was a box of items gifted by the Lady to Susu, naturally for the grand occasion prepared for the Empress Dowager.
Additionally, the Empress Dowager summoned the Old Madam for a delightful conversation and bestowed upon her four sets of gifts. The items themselves were secondary, but the honor they represented was significant!
Consort Xi also did not support Susu entering Prince Gong Mansion. The best outcome was to form a connection with Hong Sheng, and if not, they should still arrange an alliance to support the Song Family in the future.
