This was the ancestral tradition of the Great Shang Dynasty.
All concubines below the ranking of the Empress did not have the right to attend this event.
Aside from the Empress, the Empress Dowager was the only other person who was allowed to be present.
However, since Long Yang had ascended to the throne, he had taken special efforts to exclude Empress Dowager Xiaojing from the ritualistic event every year.
This was why Empress Dowager Xiaojing had never once attended the Moon Festival Event during the Lantern Festival.
The Moon Goddess Ritual Event of the Royal Family was a significant occasion. It was the grandest ritual of the year.
Even though Long Yang was not a superstitious person, the ritual was still important to him.
Moreover, the ritualistic event this year had the Prince of Xiangyang, Long Xiao, and the Grand Princess of Ning, Long Qingzhi, all in attendance.
