The Shang Kingdom is small, with only a dozen or so cities. As the only beloved daughter of the current King of Shang Kingdom, the elder Princess's birthday is naturally a major event celebrated throughout the nation.
For this occasion, King Fa Xiaoyun had people set up porridge tents outside Little Shang Palace, offering free porridge for ten days.
On the day of the elder Princess's birthday, a family banquet was held in the palace, inviting over a hundred people. Those who attended the banquet in the Inner Court were all Imperial Relatives.
After receiving the Empress Dowager's instructions, Lie Rou thought it over for a few days at home and felt that she should take advantage of the palace banquet to understand her daughter's thoughts.
The day before the banquet, she reminded Yue Jinghua of the etiquette for entering the palace, and also prepared the veil, skirts, and several pieces of jewelry that "Yue Jinghua" always needed when entering the palace.
