This rule was established by the ancestors, so the Emperor did not oppose it much.
For him, fasting and bathing is not a hard ordeal.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he could also rest peacefully for a few days.
Most importantly, he could avoid the nagging Lin Guifei.
Therefore, under the guidance of the etiquette officer Qin Huai, the Emperor went straight to the replica main hall to rest.
The Fourth Prince and a group of guards responsible for the Emperor's safety naturally followed.
Leaving behind Prince Zhan and Lin Guifei, who were led to another courtyard.
This courtyard was the first time Lin Guifei had come.
Since the death of Empress Xu, she had longed countless times, hoping to accompany the Emperor to Taishan to worship the heavens.
This would solidify her future status as Empress.
Unfortunately, while she did come this time, she did not stay in the palace meant for the Empress.
So fasting and bathing rituals were not something she had to observe.
