At this moment, a chamberlain from Cining Palace entered to report, saying that the Empress Dowager had invited Madam Chu and Ms. Chu to Cining Palace to entertain her. Ms. Chu was gentle and kind-hearted, and the Empress Dowager liked her very much. She would keep Ms. Chu in Cining Palace for a few days to recite Buddhist scriptures for her.
The Empress Dowager also said that she was really fond of Ms. Chu and would petition on her behalf for a grace from the Emperor, asking the Emperor to award Ms. Chu with a tangible gift.
