The empire, especially the palace is bursting with activities today. A few days ago they received a news that the princess of Zhixiang country, Princess Xing Baihe, is on her way towards the Gonglu country and will arrive on this day. Although everyone is skeptical about receiving a princess as the emperor's concubine from the past enemy's country, they don't have the right to voice out their reluctance because it was decided by the empress and emperor themselves.
Lin Xulian prepared early that day to welcome the princess. Since the wedding and conferment of the princess as the Imperial Noble Concubine will happen in more than a week from now, she cannot meet the emperor. And as the empress and master of the back palace, Lin Xulian has the responsibility to welcome the new concubine.
