Liu Wuyou entered the palace in the afternoon and did not leave her room until dinner time. The same was true for Ding Yueyao next door.
Concubine Wei sent someone to invite the two of them to have dinner, and then they went to the main hall together.
Concubine Jing and Concubine Shang were also there, which was considered a favor from Concubine Wei. On normal days, Concubine Jing and Concubine Shang were not allowed to dine with Concubine Wei. Naturally, the food they ate was different because of their different status.
"I have asked someone to find out about the tastes of the two county ladies. It should be to their liking. Please eat more." Concubine Wei said to Liu Wuyou and Ding Yueyao with a smile.
Liu Wuyou thanked him softly, and Ding Yueyao also thanked him politely.
In the palace, people are encouraged to not talk while eating, so everyone is very quiet. Liu Wuyou couldn't eat as fast as she did at home, otherwise it would seem that she was snatching food from others and was very rude.
So she could only eat slowly and follow the pace of others to enjoy the food.
All the meals in the palace come from the imperial kitchen, but the imperial kitchen is also different. Naturally, the food that ordinary concubines eat is not as exquisite and delicious as the food that Concubine Wei eats.
So the meal was indeed delicious, but Liu Wuyou had no mood to enjoy the food. A day had passed in a flash, and he didn't see anyone, let alone Xi Yanmo.
It seems that she can no longer just sit there and wait for death. She has to take the initiative. Otherwise, should she sneak out at night?
It's not impossible. Although she is weak, if she leaves Liuguang in Yaohua Palace, she will not be discovered if she takes Piyin to Minghua Palace.
Then she would let Qiuqiu read the memories of the Xiyan people, and maybe she would be able to easily find the secret about the insect in the poisonous grass.
With an idea in mind, Liu Wuyou focused on enjoying the food and actually ate quite a bit.
Compared to Ding Yueyao, she really ate a lot.
After finishing the meal, Concubine Wei happily said to Liu Wuyou:
"I heard that you were weak, Wuyou. I was worried that you wouldn't be used to coming to the palace after leaving home and wouldn't be able to eat. Fortunately, you're eating well. I'm relieved now."
Liu Wuyou is not in good health, but her appetite is not bad.
It is also because of her poor health that even though she eats a lot, she still doesn’t gain any weight and looks very weak.
"I have to thank the Imperial Concubine for her thoughtfulness in preparing the dishes that Wuyou usually likes. The food prepared by the Imperial Kitchen is even more delicious than what I eat at home. I ate so much without even realizing it."
Liu Wuyou's words made Concubine Wei laugh happily. In her good mood, she rewarded Liu Wuyou with a pair of earrings.
"No merit, no reward. Wuyou can't accept this. Your Majesty is too polite." Liu Wuyou quickly stood up and refused.
But Concubine Wei has always been a person who does her own thing. Whoever she wants to reward has to take it.
"What? Princess Wuyou looks down on this little thing of mine?" The smile on her face changed in an instant, and it was already mixed with coldness.
Liu Wuyou could only accept the reward with both hands in fear and trepidation, and said gratefully: "Thank you, Your Majesty. Wuyou likes it very much and will definitely keep it well."
"Haha, that's right. But you don't have to keep them. I gave them to you because I thought you would be a good match for them. Just remember to wear them. I envy you young ladies so much."
Concubine Wei raised her hand and touched her cheek, sighing:
"You are in the blooming season now, and everything will look good with you."
