During the New Year, the palace was full of joy and happiness.
Even the palace maids and eunuchs were willing to spend money on extra dishes in the kitchen during this time, with a simple "It's New Year's" to justify their indulgence.
But only Yun Jiao couldn't tolerate any sweet, sour, spicy, or oily food; whatever she ate made her nauseous.
She refused to believe in such misfortune.
"Lady, better stick to something light!"
Xue Ya advised.
Yun Jiao waved her hand: "No worries, just order according to my wishes. If I eat and feel like throwing up, you can enjoy it instead. Besides, if I don't eat, my mother can eat for me! My mother certainly can't eat vegetarian food alone with me."
She ordered crystal pig tendons, braised prawns, dry-fried beef, sweet and sour pork, and fish maw with ham, finishing with a pot of fish skin chicken broth soup.
Yun Jiao tried a bite of pig tendons: "Delicious... ugh... delicious..."
Xue Ya silently took the dish away.
