Prince Jin was quite clever. In front of all the guests, he acted a deeply affectionate scene, using the excuse that he was sick due to the grief over the death of his wife as an excuse for not being able to personally welcome his concubine into the palace.
Jiang Mingzhi and several young ladies from the Jinyi Marquis' Mansion followed Feng and took their seats.
