Summary

In the Great Song Dynasty, women were not forced into service unless compelled by their parents. Zhao Zhen never issued an edict to select women for the emperor. Only officials of the ninth rank or above could send daughters to the emperor. The late emperor's interest in Liu E was coincidental, and repercussions lingered. Emperors struggled to find satisfactory wives, accepting those provided by scholars and officials. The empress scratched the emperor's face, causing a commotion. Tie Xin Yuan felt no sympathy for these women. He admired a decisive woman, likening her to Tang Tang. Despite proximity, Zicheng Temple had cheaper prices than Tokyo. Qiao Ge bought piglets, roasted them, and prepared them for Zhang Mama. Tie Xin Yuan questioned eating meat in the temple, but Zhang Mama justified it. Qiao Ge met kiln masters from Ruzhou, who brought clay and artisans. Zhang Xun Jian, a tax official, governed the area. Building a palace garden for the princess cost over ten thousand guan. Tie Xin Yuan presented blueprints, captivating the princess. She chose a castle design, funding it from the temple and local officials. The princess planned to install copper pipes for heating and cooling. Tie Xin Yuan saw profit potential. The princess aimed to help her brother, the emperor, with construction, avoiding national treasury expenses. Officials were tasked to assist, elevating specifications. Tie Xin Yuan and the princess agreed on no savings for the emperor's residence.
