On the Laba festival, the Imperial Palace sent out Laba congee, and the various residences also exchanged congee with each other.
Song Ci, however, was delighted to harvest the first batch of young cabbages, the vibrant and tender green leaves made her smile with joy.
"Make sure to pick the best ones from this basket." Song Ci pointed to a basket woven from bamboo strips, neatly packed with small cabbages.
Everyone laughed and agreed.
"Madam, you truly have the Empress Dowager in mind," Hong You said with a smile.
Now, whenever Madam has anything fresh, she sends a share to Cining Palace in the Imperial Palace.
Song Ci laughed and said, "To try something fresh with Her Ladyship."
Just kidding, Empress Dowager Wang is her great supporter, she definitely has to curry favor with her. Young cabbages in the middle of winter are so rare; the Empress Dowager should know her intention, it's so exceptional.
Yes indeed, it's just so hypocritical, flattery welcomed.
