"I think we should just eat with Consort Xian Pin!"
After all, Consort Xian Pin loves the same things the Emperor does. Besides, the Emperor doesn't seem to be particularly fond of the meals from Zhaochen Palace's small kitchen. They'd just get cold with all the fuss. Better to forget it!
Xiao Xizi didn't dare to ask further. Once Consort Xian Pin agreed, she quickly departed.
Li Shengan watched, filled with admiration. She's a good one! Diligent and clever!

Dinner was served.
It was as simple as usual, but not as bland as before.
After all, it was cold, and one needed to eat well to build up some reserves for winter.
One dish was lotus root and pork rib soup. The ribs were stewed until tender and flavorful, while the lotus root slices remained crisp. Glass noodles and soft tofu had also been added to the soup. A hot, steaming bowl of it left one feeling utterly content.
