Zhulan returned home, changed her clothes, and examined the invitations that had been delivered. The one on top was from Officer Phang's house, inviting her to his wife's birthday celebration. The rest of the invitations were not as important; attending some was optional.
She took out the invitation from Officer Phang's house separately. The Phangs were a must-visit; they were the greatest support of Prince Liang.

Zhulan said, "This birthday is celebrated every year, and it's become rather meaningless, but still we must prepare. Now, the birthday represents the Zhou family."
She preferred simple birthdays.
