After the Gold Award Festival, the palace was anything but idle.
First off, there were a heap of things to do for the New Year. Then on the sixth day of the first lunar month, we had to end the Mourning Period.
Ending the Mourning Period was a significant event, signifying the end of the official grieving period.
Therefore, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month had to be celebrated grandly. These three events back to back meant three significant days.
Now, everything that needed to be prepared had to be ready, so that once the sixth day passed, the palace could unveil its new look.
Besides, there were rumors spreading about which masters were to be promoted.
And even for those not being promoted, weren't there still enfeoffment ceremonies? Though the initial rites were done, the formal ceremonies were still pending.
The Empress Dowager and the Empress were the primary concern. Consort Qi, Consort Ming, Consort Jin Pin, and Consort Song were to be included as well.
