After 1 month celebration ...

After the 1 month celebration, the 4 new members of the Royal Family are separated from their parents to live in the Palace of Gems. They are able to take care of themselves. The 4 children are so adorable that they became the media's favourite. Their every move are being closely followed. Although they are still quite shy, they are slowly learning to adapt to the attention they receive.

The halfling is coping well and reports from the Palace said that he has a high chance of survival after passing the 1 month crucial period. The halfling has quite a bad temper. He was separated from his other siblings after some safety concerns. He bites everything that gets near him. Perhaps he is trying to eat as much as possible to compensate his slow growth. Currently he is one third the size of the others.

Her Majesty, 太皇太后, is considering the titles for the young ones; 2 princes (1 of them is the halfling) and 2 princesses.

There are critics who strongly disagree to the separation of 三太子，三太子妃 and their children. However this move is inevitable. 太皇太后 does not intend to seek the public's understanding in this matter. She remained a low profile and refused to comment more. As the Palace Steward, I can only give her moral support. She seemed rather tired recently over this matter. She sleeps a lot and moves little. Rumours is rampant in the Kingdom saying that 太皇太后 is in poor health due to old age.

The Emperor III and his wife, Empress of Gallant is still trying hard to have children while 皇太后 is enjoying her days as a retiree. She has no intention of taking over the duties of the 太皇太后. Plans are already in place. When 太皇太后 returns to heaven, the Kingdom will be ruled fully under the Royal couple.

The Palace may be expecting some guests in the near future, the distant relatives of the Emperor III.
