Looking at the remaining food, Liu Hong glanced outside the hall and then said:
"Xiaohong, take these leftover dishes out and let the guards outside share them!"
"promise!"
Xiao Hong smiled and then instructed the palace maids to start tidying up.
Since his meals improved, Liu Hong would share his leftovers with the guards, which had now become a routine in Deyang Palace.
In Liu Hong's view, it would be a waste to throw away so much of it; it would be better to give it to his loyal guards.
