Unexpectedly, Jiang Xian laughed again upon hearing this.
The Noble Princess Consort couldn't hold back and asked her what she was laughing about.
Jiang Xian said, "As they say, love is all one needs. The Lady is no longer hungry upon seeing me. I am so honored I can't help but rejoice."

The Noble Princess Consort set down her chopsticks. She was done eating.
She stormed back to the main hall, preferring to sit before the Buddha and feign prayer while waiting for the Empress Dowager's return rather than share a room with her. Seeing the Noble Princess Consort leave, her cheeks flushed with anger, the hands of the palace maid serving Jiang Xian's meal began to tremble. Jiang Xian had to comfort her, "Don't be nervous. This is Changle Palace. The Noble Princess Consort would never dare throw her weight around in here. Quick, give me a couple more bites. I want to go back and pray."
'My colleague is skipping the rest of her meal to get back to work. Such a try-hard.'
