When Ji Fengyao woke up the next morning, she felt much better.
Although he was still as weak as a seriously ill patient due to the drop in rank, at least his body was no longer burning with pain like it had yesterday.
She thought it was because of her special constitution and secretly rejoiced, "I must have saved the galaxy in my past life to have picked up such an incredible constitution, tsk!"
Tomorrow we will enter the palace for the sacrificial ceremony.
After breakfast, the Empress Dowager and Ji Fengyao set off to return to their respective palaces and residences.
When Ji Fengyao arrived at Jin'an Temple with her three maids and the guards of the Prince's Mansion, Jin Yuan, along with a group of abbots and young monks, had already been waiting there for a long time.
However, the Empress Dowager has not yet arrived.
The early summer morning sun was warm and gentle. The mountains and forests around Jin'an Temple were lush and green, with birds singing and flowers blooming. Ji Fengyao was not in a hurry. She raised the four sides of the carriage, sat leisurely in the carriage, ate melons and enjoyed the scenery, and waited for the Empress Dowager, that old lucky charm, to make her appearance.
At this moment, in the Empress Dowager's meditation temple, the eyes of all the palace maids and nannies almost popped out of their sockets.
The Empress Dowager was seen holding a huge wooden basin in both hands (the basin was requested by her), and she was stuffing handfuls of food into her mouth.
They've already eaten two whole bowls!
The two ancestral hall maids waited outside the temple for a long time but the Empress Dowager did not come out. Qin, the maid who had delivered the note to Ji Fengyao, could not help but go to the Empress Dowager's residence to look for her.
Seeing the Empress Dowager eating like a starving dog...
Granny Qin: "..."
No wonder the late emperor favored one palace maid but not this one;
With that eating posture, what man could stand it!
"Your Majesty, it's getting late. We should head back to the palace. Tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, and we need to return to the ancestral hall to make preparations. If we are late, our ancestors will blame us," said Granny Qin, though she was inwardly complaining.
The Empress Dowager remained expressionless, her neck stiff, struggling to swallow the barely chewed food in her mouth. As she eagerly stuffed new food into her mouth, she mumbled, "Set off...!"
Everyone thought she had finally finished eating.
Two palace maids cautiously approached, intending to take the basin from the Empress Dowager's hands.
The Empress Dowager held on tightly, chewing her food while mumbling, "Prepare three more buckets for me to eat on the road."
"Three...three buckets?!" The two palace maids exclaimed in surprise, exchanging bewildered glances!
"What? Can't I afford it? Did I eat your rice? Do I need you to pay me?" The Empress Dowager stared at the two palace maids, her expression calm and her tone indifferent. As she spoke, food splattered from her mouth, making it look particularly eerie and terrifying.
The two palace maids, remembering the fate of Naji and Naxiang the previous night, were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads and agreed.
The rest of the group: "..."
Granny Qin: "..."
Good heavens, the Empress Dowager is absolutely terrifying! It's best to stay away from her!
Bai Lu saw Qin Mama rushing out as if she were fleeing, and asked curiously, "Why did Mama Qin go to the temple to invite the Empress Dowager like she'd seen a ghost? Could it be that the Empress Dowager has fallen ill again?"
“It’s even more amazing than that, just you wait and see,” the magpie whispered mysteriously in Bailu’s ear.
The words had just finished
A large group of palace maids and eunuchs escorted the Empress Dowager, who was carrying a wooden bucket and eating as she walked.
After gulping down food all morning, the Empress Dowager could no longer eat.
But she couldn't suppress her strong desire for food. Even if she spit out three mouthfuls after taking one bite, and her hands and body were covered in food and oil, she still grabbed handfuls of food from the wooden bucket and stuffed it into her mouth and swallowed it down as fast as she could.
