Today is Su Jin's birth anniversary.
The Emperor organized a lantern festival for her and granted a royal pardon.
But today is also the memorial day for her biological mother, Consort Yun.
Chaohua Palace was burned to ruins.
The Emperor has not officially conferred her the title of Princess, so Su Jin cannot enter the palace to pay her respects.
But every year on this day, she kneels before those two wordless tablets on Qingyun Mountain to kowtow and offer incense.
This is a tradition.
She didn't understand why before.
Now even Xingxing understands.
One of the wordless tablets is for the Late Heir of Duke Chong, the other for Consort Yun.
The lantern festival becomes lively only at night.
After breakfast, Su Jin went to pay respects to the Princess Consort, then took a carriage back to Dongxiang Marquis Mansion.
Kneeling on the prayer mat and looking at those wordless tablets, Su Jin felt moved.
