Since the Empress Dowager was unwilling to return to the palace, Prince Jin could only bring her along.
In order to let the Empress Dowager adapt, they deliberately slowed down and finally arrived at Laifu Village on the fourth day.
"Have you prepared the betrothal gift?" the Empress Dowager asked.
"Don't worry, Mother. We're all ready." Prince Jin smiled.
"Okay, that's good." The empress dowager was very satisfied with her granddaughter-in-law, Ning Yue. She specially asked the emperor to give her an imperial edict to be conferred the title of princess.
Of course, she had to keep the appointment a secret. Everyone would know when the imperial edict was issued.
After eating something in Laifu Village, the group returned to Prince Jin's Residence.
At this moment, Jiang Ying was still on his way back.
