Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The emperor’s eyes were filled with regret when he saw the empress dowager take the things away.

He had tasted everything just now and they tasted very delicious.

For some reason, the food made by his daughter-in-law was much more delicious than other people’s.

Even the imperial chef’s cooking was not as good as this girl’s!

This was really strange!

After the empress dowager took the things, she tasted them one by one.

As she ate, the empress dowager glanced sideways at the emperor, who was thinking about something.

No wonder her son wanted to try them for her. These food were so delicious!

Her son was already the king of a country, but he was actually coveting the food in her hand.

The empress dowager immediately thought of what Li Xiaoran had said previously.

She said that Luo Cheng would bring delicious food to the emperor every time he entered the palace?

Hmph, her good son!

He usually seemed quite filial, but now that he had gotten delicious food, he did not even give any to his mother.

Hmph, since her son was unfilial, he shouldn’t blame her for being heartless!

These things were all hers. No one else could eat them!

Thinking of this, the empress dowager handed the things to the nanny beside her.

“This tastes delicious. Help me safekeep them. I’m gonna eat them at my palace banquet later! Remember, you can’t give them to anyone. Watch them carefully!”

With that, the empress dowager glanced at the emperor.

When the emperor received his mother’s glance, he was immediately confused.

That shouldn’t be the case, right?

Could it be that he had angered her just because he had kindly tested for poison on her behalf?

The others were also extremely dejected. All of them could only watch as Li Xiaoran showed off in front of the emperor and empress.

The other princes and consorts, in particular, wished they could nail two holes in Li Xiaoran.

Of course, there was an exception.

The second prince’s consort looked at Li Xiaoran with envy.

She was really too bold.

She actually dared to bicker with the emperor. Tsk, tsk, tsk. She liked her personality very much.

It would be great if she could do the same someday.

Speaking of which, she was not even as casual as Li Xiaoran in front of her own grandma!

If she could also imitate Seventh Sister-in-law and win the favor of the elders, would she have to rely on the Second Prince everyday?

With her man’s personality, it was not that she looked down on him, but he was incompetent.

If she hadn’t been forced to marry him, she really wouldn’t have given birth to a child for someone like the Second Prince.

Speaking of which, it was fine if the Second Prince was just inferior to others! From the looks of it, he could not even compare to her seventh sister-in-law!

Forget it. Men were unreliable. She should rely on herself!

When she was free later, she had to ask her seventh sister-in-law how to please the elders.

In the future, even if something happened to the second prince, the two of them could rely on the favor of their elders to live a carefree life.

The more the second prince’s consort thought about it, the more she felt that this was a good idea, so she looked at Li Xiaoran happily.

Li Xiaoran felt that there was someone looking at her, so she looked at the second prince’s consort.

After their eyes met, the second prince’s consort smiled at Li Xiaoran to expressed her goodwill.

Li Xiaoran also nodded with a smile.

Just like that, the two of them greeted each other.

Li Xiaoran knew the second prince’s consort. After all, as her husband’s sworn enemy, the second prince was her main target.

Therefore, Li Xiaoran had some understanding of what the second prince’s consort was like as well.

However, outsiders said that the second prince’s consort was meek yet stubborn.

She would do whatever the second prince instructed her to do.

But recently, she had done something very bold.

She did not interfere with the second prince’s mistreses anymore and left everything to the second prince to deal with.

In the second prince’s consort’s words, they weren’t her woman, so she could not interfere, nor were they her responsibility!

Therefore, when she met the second prince’s consort’s gaze just now, Li Xiaoran nodded.

In Li Xiaoran’s eyes, the second prince consort still had some redeeming qualities.

Among all the princes, the second prince had the most children.

Of course, these children were all given birth by the second prince’s other women, and the second prince’s consort only gave birth to one.

From this, it could be seen that the second consort was a kind person.

Luo Cheng noticed Li Xiaoran’s gaze and looked at the second prince’s consort.

To be honest, after Luo Cheng learned about the second prince’s consort’s character, he felt that his second brother was unworthy of his second sister-in-law.

His second sister-in-law was a good woman, but his second brother was not a good man.

It could only be said that fate played tricks on people!

If his second sister-in-law did not marry the second prince and married another man, she would have had a happy life after marriage.

Unfortunately, his second sister-in-law’s father was blinded. He only wanted to use his daughter to cling to the royal family and obtain wealth.

Soon, it was time for the palace banquet.

After the emperor said something, everyone sat back in their seats.

Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng wanted to leave, but under the empress dowager’s gaze, they could only sit beside her.

The empress dowager asked the palace servants to carry the seats of the Seventh Prince and Seventh Consort over, so that Li Xiaoran and Luo Cheng could sit beside her.

Li Xiaoran sat beside the empress dowager while Luo Cheng sat beside Li Xiaoran. Then, the couple looked at each other.

Soon, music sounded. Then, the ministers and women entered the palace to take their seats.

Most people were shocked to see the seventh prince and the Seventh Consort sitting beside the empress dowager.

These people quickly calmed down and returned to their seats.

These people seemed calm on the surface, but they were very flustered.

A few people remained calm and went straight to find their positions.

After everyone was seated, the emperor raised his glass.

“Today is the empress dowager’s 70th birthday. Come, let’s raise our glasses to congratulate the empress dowager on her birthday!”

Seeing this, everyone stood up and raised their glasses to congratulate her.

“May the Empress Dowager be blessed and live a long life!” the ministers shouted.

The empress dowager replied, “Thank you for your blessings. Please take a seat!”

After everyone sat down, the palace servants sent down the food they had prepared for tonight.

The Empress gestured for the nanny behind her to bring the food box from Li Xiaoran.

She did not want to eat anything else tonight. She only wanted to eat the food she received from Li Xiaoran.

The empress dowager was getting old, so eating was quite troublesome for her.

However, Li Xiaoran’s food was mild and delicious, yet not greasy, which was why the empress dowager liked it so much..
