Although Empress Dowager Mo did not plan to celebrate her birthday extravagantly, officials, whether to curry favor with her or to make a good impression in front of the Emperor, continuously sent well-prepared birthday gifts to another palace, hoping to bring joy to the Empress Dowager.
Wufu brought Prince Dong into the other palace to accompany the Empress Dowager, and with the arrival of a child, this oppressive and somber palace began to feel lively.
Inside the palace, in order to please the Empress Dowager, numerous red lanterns symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, and longevity were hung in celebration of her birthday, adding a festive atmosphere.
"...You don't need to come so early to keep me company. If you leave, what will happen to Ah Jiu without anyone to take care of him?" Empress Dowager Mo smiled, looking at Wufu who was accompanying her in the garden.
