Concubine Li had a reason why she was willing to share her storybook with Concubine Mei.
She still didn't know whether Concubine Mei was setting up a trap for her. Upon seeing the same dumplings that had started their dispute a few years ago, she was secretly on alert.
Has this woman not given up in trying to make her confess to a crime she never committed?!
At first, she wondered whether the dumplings were poisoned, and thus, she tried to make Concubine Mei eat a random one from the bowl.
Seeing that Concubine Mei didn't refuse, only then did she finally willing to eat it. How could she waste such food?
Even though they were the Emperor's concubines, it didn't mean that they could request any food as they wished. Only the Empress and the four noble consorts could do that!
They were given a quota of how many times they could request certain food from the imperial kitchen during one month. So, Concubine Mei must have used her quota to request for the dumplings!
