Hongli, however, was indifferent. He stood there dejectedly and said, "Your subject... Your subject only hopes that Mother will be well and wake up soon. I have no other wish."
Yinzhen sighed and immediately drafted an imperial edict, promoting Consort Xi to Imperial Noble Consort and ordering the Ministry of Rites to expedite the process.
On the 18th, as soon as the Winter Solstice ceremony ended, Yinzhen issued an edict to cancel the grand Winter Solstice court ceremony for all officials in the Hall of Supreme Harmony the following day, and then traveled alone by carriage at full speed, finally returning to the Yuanmingyuan before dark.
