The Empress Dowager, Emperor, Empress, Princess Diao Bin, as well as the Emperor's seven-year-old eldest son, took the lead and got some food on their plates. However, as members of the Royal Family, they just showed off for a while before returning to their seats and let their maids fetch the food. The seven-year-old Crown Prince deliberately acted serious and matured. Along with his childish face, he looked extremely adorable.
Bai Ruozhu noticed that the Empress Dowager and the Crown Prince were interested in getting food themselves, but it was not safe for them to mingle into the crowd, which may compromise their guards' ability to protect them.
Suddenly, Bai Ruozhu felt a chill down her spine as a thought popped into her head. What if Chengshui Country's previous plot in the palace hadn't been disrupted? Would they act on this day she wondered? Feeling this chill, she hoped it was just her paranoia and nothing like that would happen.
