Entering the palace with the new empress were the Consort of Nobility, Tang Yiguang, and the Consort of Virtue, Hua Zhirong. Apart from the four imperial consorts, there was also the Jade Consort, Jian Xue.
The ceremonial preparations were almost complete, and all the streets were decorated with brightly colored lanterns and red streamers. In particular, the short street from the Regent King's manor leading to the imperial palace was especially vibrant with flowers everywhere, characteristic of the royal family style.
