The old woman from Prince Anzheng's residence was led in by a eunuch. After bowing to Consort Yang through the screen, she stated her purpose directly.
"Your Highness, the Prince has ordered this old servant to come and fetch the Fifth Princess to the residence to select the local specialties brought back from Fengdu." The old woman's words were brief, neither humble nor arrogant, and yet perfectly polite.
