After taking several doses of medicine and undergoing acupuncture according to Buhui's prescription, the Empress Dowager felt much lighter and not as heavy as before. Overjoyed, Feng Yan bestowed a string of rewards to the Prime Minister's Mansion, not only to Buhui but also to the Mansion itself.
After all, it was the Song Minister's Mansion that recommended Buhui to diagnose and treat her, thus making her feel lighter. Moreover, with the New Year approaching, it was quite common to send rewards to the families of favored ministers.
At the moment, the Empress Dowager was being entertained by several palace maids with jokes and laughter. One palace maid performed a mime, and to make her happy, boldly played a clown. The effect was obvious, as the Empress Dowager laughed until wrinkles appeared around her eyes.
Unfortunately, this joyful atmosphere didn't last long and was interrupted by Princess Consort Ji requesting an audience.
