Shanghai Prefecture, China
Li Imperial Palace
Back in the imperial palace, forty minutes were left before the start of the New Year. The invitees were discussing in the main hall and the imperial family was stuck in their respective rooms since Li Wei arrived. Princess Li Mei was with her nephew Li Wei in his apartments and the empress dowager was with her son, Li Jun in his apartments. Meanwhile, the clock was ticking minute by minute.
In the emperor's apartments, an open-minded discussion was going on between mother and son.
" Jun, don't be like that! You knew it wouldn't be easy, didn't you? Give him some time to adjust first, and then you can have a heart-out discussion with him. A discussion between father and son". Empress Dowager advises her son.
