In the twenty-ninth year of Shengping, on April 23rd, Prince Min Chu Ze passed away and was buried in the Imperial Mausoleum. The Emperor cherished the brotherly rapport and posthumously elevated Prince Min to the rank of Prince, granting the Prince Min Mansion the status of Prince Mansion, elevating Princess Consort Min to Princess Consort, and bestowing his daughter Chu Hua with the title of Commandery Princess Changning, entitled to a Princess's fief.
Even in death, he was honored.
This was the Emperor's decree.
An astute official composed a long encomium, extolling Emperor Chu's benevolence and compassion. In Song Ci's words, it was almost like praising him to heaven.
"Posthumous honor, this Prince Min must have offered the Emperor quite a sweet favor in exchange," Song Ci remarked while taking a leisurely stroll in the courtyard's company, addressing Nanny who accompanied her.
Nanny retorted, "Only you would dare say such a thing."
