What she meant was that the palace maids in Jianzhang Palace were well-trained, but Xue Zhiyi was not capable enough to command the people under her, which is why she couldn't even do such a small thing as serving tea.
In short, something went wrong on Xue Zhiyi's first day on the job.
However, at this moment, everyone looked here and thought: I don’t know what’s wrong with Concubine Song today. She actually dares to act pretentiously in the Empress Dowager’s palace.
Under Concubine Song's disdainful gaze, Xue Zhiyi squatted down, raised the tray above his head, and presented it to Concubine Song: "The servants below are not serving well, so I will personally invite you to have tea."
On the side, Concubine Ge couldn't help but sneer: I didn't expect Xue Zhiyi to be so flexible.
Lady Song then slowly took the teacup, but suddenly snorted, "After all this trouble, the tea has gone cold and the fragrance has dissipated."
As he said this, he handed the teacup back, but suddenly let go at an angle that others could not see clearly.
Xue Zhiyi had expected that she would keep finding fault with him, so he was already on guard. Seeing this, he handed the tray that he had just taken back out again.
The teacup hit the tray with a crisp clang.
Xue Zhiyi quickly apologized: "I am guilty. The teacup froze your hand, causing you to lose your grip. Please forgive me!"
Concubine Song was also stunned. She wanted to smash the teacup and then accuse Xue Zhiyi of negligence in his job and breaking the tea given by the empress dowager by failing to catch it firmly.

Now the tray was littered with cups and plates. Xue Zhiyi did not take them, but held up the tray and asked her to put the teacup in it.
In this case, it could only be that she didn't put it properly.
Although Xue Zhiyi's tone was respectful, his words seemed to have a sarcastic tone, which made Concubine Song immediately embarrassed and annoyed: "What do you mean!"
Xue Zhiyi remained respectful: "The Queen Mother gave me tea, so the beauty certainly didn't drop it on purpose. The tea is cold, so it didn't burn your hand, so it must have been frozen."
"you……"
Seeing Lady Song's eyes widen, Xue Zhiyi asked her, "Isn't it?"
Just as Concubine Song was speechless, she heard a voice announce: "The Queen Mother has arrived!"
So everyone had no time to think about anything else and hurriedly stood up to greet him.
"Your servants pay their respects to the Queen Mother, and wish her long-lasting blessings, prosperity, and good health!"
