“Granny Gui, I remember I asked you to supervise Ziwei in teaching people how to make pastries, not to have Ziwei wash beans or anything like that.”
The Empress Dowager knew that this matter had to be handled well, otherwise, if she wasn't careful, it could easily create a rift between her and the Emperor and his mother, not to mention that the Emperor might have other feelings for Ziwei.
After this ordeal, Ziwei absolutely cannot enter the emperor's harem. She caused so much trouble before even entering the harem; if she did, the harem would be in complete chaos.
It's even possible that Jiaojiao helped Ziwei out of a predicament because she was afraid of affecting her relationship with the emperor.
She also knew that Niannian was not one to meddle in other people's business.
In another instance, she genuinely didn't have Granny Gui ask Ziwei to do these things; she simply had Ziwei teach the people in the imperial kitchen how to make pastries.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I misheard you. I have misunderstood. Please, Your Majesty, spare me."
Granny Gui was also flexible and adaptable; she immediately knelt down and admitted her mistake.
“Granny Gui, I’ll let you off the hook today because you’re an old maidservant of the Empress Dowager. Now, get out.”
The emperor reprimanded him.
"Yes, yes, thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty."
Upon hearing the Emperor's decision, Granny Gui scrambled away.
Because of Chen Nian's incident, and Gui Mama's inaction while watching from the sidelines, the Empress Dowager's feelings for Gui Mama faded considerably, and she had no objection to the Emperor's handling of the matter.
No one is more important than her beloved Jiaojiao.
"Fu Erkang was given twenty strokes of the cane, suspended from his post for half a month, and had his salary deducted for one year."
Ziwei should immediately go outside and kneel down. Once Niannian wakes up, she should be given ten strokes of the cane.
As Niannian had previously stated, you must continue serving in the Imperial Kitchen. This is tentatively scheduled for seven days and seven nights. Furthermore, no one in the Imperial Kitchen is allowed to assist. Unless Princess Shen says to stop, you are not permitted to stop.

(The people in the imperial kitchen don't know how to make vegetarian Luohan cakes; this is just a plot device, so please don't criticize.)
