The Empress leaned her head on the Emperor's shoulder and muttered, "I won't go see my son."
The Emperor held the Empress's shoulder, his heart aching for Qingran, "I have news for you, in a few days Zhou Shuren's wife and daughter will be coming to the capital, didn't you want to see them? You can summon them."
The Empress's voice rose slightly, "Really?"
"Absolutely true, news from Jinzhou Province."
Not leaning on the Emperor anymore, the Empress said, "Then I will pick a day to summon them."
Early the next day, Changlian's family and Rongchuan set off for the capital. By noon, Lady Tao also came from the Ran Residence and took away Mingyun's birthday details.
The birthday matching went smoothly; although it was not a match made in heaven, it was still considered a good matrimonial match. Soon after, they chose an auspicious day for the engagement, and Zhulan prepared to start her journey to the capital.
