Noble Concubine Jin didn't keep her waiting long. Shortly after she finished breakfast, Li Shanggong came personally to fetch her.
Upon hearing that someone from the palace had arrived, Lady Du was a bit anxious, fearing they would marry her daughter off somewhere else again for a marriage alliance.
Cai Wei gently consoled her for a long while, not until her worries subsided did she get into the carriage with Li Shanggong. They left the villa and headed straight for the palace...
Noble Concubine Jin resided in the Silk Garden, known also as the Silk Palace, which was the closest to the Emperor's study. Of all the palaces, it had the best scenery, and was the most luxurious and grand.
Upon entering the Silk Palace, before Cai Wei had a chance to admire the palace's pavilions, rare flowers, and exotic plants, she was drawn to a kneeling woman on the brick floor in front of the palace.
