The Capital City.
The news of the Crown Prince's return had already reached.
The Crown Prince, now forty-four, had finally matured and took the initiative to apply for disaster relief, successfully handling the matter, which made the Emperor very happy.
He was advanced in years, having passed the age of sixty, and knew his days were numbered. If the Crown Prince continued to be incompetent, he would be uneasy handing over Nanxia to him; but if not to him, he didn't want to see his sons fighting for the throne either.
Therefore, as soon as he heard of the Crown Prince's return, the Emperor instructed the Ministry of Rites to take charge of the welcoming ceremony.
