Ying Qiu quickly agreed with a couple of remarks, and then said, "Your Highness, why don't you rest for a while? You must be tired and hungry after such a long day!"
"This servant will order some food for you, and get some pastries as well!"
Upon hearing this, Noble Concubine Shih grew angry again.
"A Noble Concubine of my standing, living worse than a Consort Xian!"
When there was an issue with the food, the Emperor had immediately ordered a small kitchen to be set up in Qingya Residence. They prepared to transfer two kitchen maids—one from the Imperial Kitchen and another selected from the common folk—plus a few Imperial Kitchen Palace Maids, specifically to attend to the dietary needs of the mother and children.
In the palace, Xia Ruqing was the first to receive such treatment.
Noble Concubine Shih thought of this and became enraged.
"Vile woman!"
"Your Highness! You just said you weren't going to get angry anymore!"
