When he returned to the palace, he went to the empress dowager and gave her the shark's fin from Prince Zi's residence.
She happily praised the third day banquet and said a lot of good things about the little prince.
Of course, no one would dislike the little prince's appealing appearance.
Moreover, the emperor could tell that the little prince was born with explosive spiritual power which he probably couldn't compare with.
No matter how unreconciled he was, he couldn't deny it any longer.

He told the empress dowager that he would appoint a crown prince and then abdicate.
