The Empress Dowager departed ...

Her Majesty left before she can finish her last and most urgent task of finding an heir to the Emerald throne. She left this unfinshed business to the Palace advisor 三亲王。The continuity of the Kingdom and the Royal Family depends on finding a suitable heir since the Emperor and Empress IV are unable to have children. Currently there are only 6 members of the Royal Family left, 2 generations and 5 of them in the same generation. The Palace Steward can only try the best to assist 三亲王 while juggling with other Palace duties.

Last Wednesday, the Palace Steward travelled out to a island nearby for an official visit. Below are some photos taken to show the Royal Family how clear the water is around the island.

Seems that conservation efforts around the island worked. The water is very clean. His Majesty, the Emperor IV was very pleased with the results. It is a pity that the Empress Dowager cannot be there personally.

Yesterday I visited a new place. I find it serene and peaceful. The weather was good. Below are some pictures of flowers, bridge and waterfront that the Royal Family has keen interest in.
Some flowers which I thought Her Majesty will like to decorate the Palace.
A new bridge which I came across.

Clear water despite the traffic nearby.
