The princess did not speak, and it was unclear whether she believed it or not.
Finally, the Fujin (principal wife) smiled and said, "It is a great joy that you have been granted the title of Consort Fujin. I just received a set of jewelry before the New Year, so please take it back and use it as part of your dowry."
