Prince Rui was the Emperor's own younger brother, sharing the same mother, and among the princes of Donglin, his status was even more esteemed. Despite Jincheng being located remotely from the town, many nobles arranged to send gifts and congratulations for the full-month celebration of Prince Rui's legitimate son.
This child's full-month celebration was even more grand than the previous birthday banquet for the senior consort of Prince Qi Residence, with even more attendees. The senior consort loved quiet, disliking crowded places, but the full month of Prince Rui's son was a joyous occasion. Prince Rui was a child the senior consort had watched grow up and had a special affection for Prince Rui's legitimate son.
Since it was Prince Rui's legitimate son's event, it certainly deserved proper celebration, especially because the child was not only Prince Rui's legitimate son but also the Empress Dowager's own grandson.
