Sheng Li and Ying Lili came back to the Imperial Palace in the early morning. After getting ready, they left for the greeting hall where Ying Lili took the blessings of the elders. From there, they went to the Buddhist Temple in the Northern Palace. They sought the blessing of the Buddha by reciting prayers after the Chief Priest in the temple.
They returned to the Main Palace and went to the hall where everyone had to present gifts to Ying Lili.
As everyone took their respective seats, Han Wenji initiated the gift ceremony. "Crown Princess, it was difficult for me to decide on a gift for you. The Empress and I then decided to give the Crown Princess the Palace in her name. The Northern Palace has only a Buddhist Temple, so a grand Palace will be constructed in the name of the Crown Princess," Han Wenji stated. Ying Lili stood up from her seat and bowed her head.
