Empress Dowager Mo's birthday celebration, Emperor Yan and Prince Jin, to express their filial piety, still invited a famous opera troupe to perform in another palace, and also selected a few concubines, princesses, and honorable ladies to accompany them. A dozen or so princes and nobles were also invited to the banquet on the men's side.
Although Empress Dowager Mo verbally said there was no need for extravagance, she also accepted it calmly to ease the younger generation's minds.
Prince Dong was taken by Ah Jiu to the men's side, while Wufu was happy to have a lighter task, waiting with Empress Dowager Mo and others to watch the opera.
Now that the Deposed Empress is 'dead', there is no talk of establishing a new empress in the palace, with Ah Jiu acting as regent assisting the Crown Prince in governing the country, Wufu really is the most prominent among the Imperial family nobles, who could compare, being the Empress Dowager's own daughter-in-law?
