The weather turned cold, with days short and nights long, the days passed quickly, and in no time, it was November.
The coming-of-age ceremony for Song Ruqi was held with great liveliness, and the hairpin used to tie her hair was sent by her future husband Qi Zhen, making the young girl as happy as could be.
Once Song Ruqi's ceremony was over, Niu Pan'er and Song Zhiyu returned to Prince Dingbei's Mansion to live, as they were past their newlywed period, and Niu Pan'er needed to return to the military camp for duty.
Because the weather had turned cold, there were reports of roads being blocked by heavy snow everywhere, Song Ci called Madam over to Chunhui Hall to discuss matters.
"It's too cold this year, the winter clothes donated to the Charitable Hall should be stuffed with more cotton from the workshop, better make it thick and solid, there must not be any corner-cutting. If a spot check reveals such a thing, I will hold them accountable." Song Ci instructed.
