After seeing off the King of Joseon and the Crown Prince of Joseon, Consort Jin said to Hongzhou, "Elder Brother's intention is to host a banquet tomorrow to welcome us. It coincides with the Hunting Festival, so he wants to invite us to attend."
"Attending would be fine, but the matter of the iron mine must still be handled. It's not just me who is here; there are also several ministers. We must prioritize official matters first, lest we delay serious business." In the palace, Hongzhou is the younger brother of the Crown Prince and does not need to take the lead in major matters.
However, once outside, he is a prince who must uphold the prestige of the Great Qing Dynasty.
Consort Jin was momentarily stunned and then felt guilty, "I didn't think of that; it truly is an important matter."
Nowadays, Consort Jin felt a bit lost.
