"Your Highness!" Qian Shengyan exclaimed in surprise, and immediately advised, "But the Third Prince is already eight years old this year, and will soon be nine. How can he go to the Empress's palace?"
“No, the Third Prince and the Second Princess are both at home, taking care of their mother when she is ill,” Yinzhen said.
