It has been two or three days since the Emperor arranged the marriage for the Fourth Prince, but the second good news the Emperor mentioned has yet to be announced. The ministers feel there is no second good news at all, and the Emperor is merely teasing them.
In Changding Palace, the Fourth Prince is having lunch with Consort Li.
Consort Li personally cooked a table full of dishes that the Fourth Prince loves. She placed a few pieces of meat into the Fourth Prince's bowl and said warmly, "Eat more."
"Thank you, Mother Consort, you should eat more too." The Fourth Prince also picked up a few pieces of meat and placed them in Consort Li's bowl, "Mother Consort, you should eat more meat regularly."
Consort Li had been practicing Buddhism for many years and ate mostly vegetarian meals, rarely consuming meat. She only ate meat during important banquets, and not on other occasions.
The meat offered by her son, Consort Li naturally ate.
