Yue Er smiled politely.
"It's alright, Mother, no need to worry!"
As they talked, the leading maid beside Madam Shi had already arranged a table of dishes outside.
Through the carved Four Seasons Landscape Screen and the purple silk curtain, the three in the inner room could still catch whiffs of the aroma from the dishes.
Madam Shi smiled and said.
"Please, Princess!"
Shih Shaoling and Yue Er exchanged a glance, and both thanked her and stood up.
The dishes on the table were quite plentiful.
Although they couldn't compare to the kitchen maids in the harem, they had the flavor of home-cooked meals enjoyed by common folk.
Yue Er found it refreshing; she was indeed hungry and ate quite a lot.
A bowl of small wontons was finished, a few aromatic and chewy pancakes were devoured completely.
The seasonal fresh vegetables placed in the middle of the table were also eaten up, almost entirely gone.
