The imperial edict appointing Wufu has been issued, and Wufu has formally undertaken the responsibilities of the Princess Consort of Jin. The day after receiving the edict, she stood before all the royal guards, aides, and servants at the Prince Jin's Mansion, assuming control of the household and officially taking charge, backed by Ah Jiu's support.
Prince Jin's Mansion is vast, with numerous people. Wufu and Ah Jiu sat in the great hall, with Purple Jade holding the registry, receiving wave after wave of people who came to kneel, pay respects, and introduce themselves. This process alone took nearly half a day.
Ah Jiu left a statement saying, "Honor the Princess Consort as you would honor me," and then departed the hall, leaving Wufu to continue her business while he attended to his matters in the study. The woman manages the inner, and the man manages the outer aspects.
