that day I was still sitting in the hall waiting for Pei Qi to come.

　　But what came was the news of Pei Qi encountering the Noble Consort who was kneeling and unable to get up on his way to my palace, and thus changed his path.

　　"How could this be! She's still a Noble Consort!" The palace maid beside me was furious, she was the one who was supposed to relay the message to Pei Qi at Meilin on New Year's Eve but failed to pass it on.

　　Her name was Fuyin.

　　I reminded her, "Be careful of what you say." She unwillingly bit her lip.

　　I found it funny and comforted her, "Isn't this a good thing? At least, you can have an extra bowl of rice without feeling disgusted." She seemed convinced and swallowed her saliva.

　　I continued, "Add a dish of squirrel mandarin fish to tonight's dinner." "Aren't you tired of eating it, Your Majesty?" I said, "But it's still my favorite.

　　It's been two months since I last had it, I've been longing for it." "However, some side dishes should be added."
