As the two highest-ranking people at this banquet, these people only dared to speak to them after the Empress and Noble Consort Ji took the initiative to greet them. Otherwise, other than the Crown Princess Consort, no one else had the right to talk to them.
In particular, Noble Consort Ji's cold face kept people at bay. No one dared to even look in her direction, let alone get close to her. This also made it convenient for Xiaoxiao to slack off the entire time, eat, and stare blankly.
Needless to say, the Empress's meal was not bad. It was delicious with a hint of familiarity. Xiaoxiao was quite satisfied.
However, how could there be a free lunch in the world? When she saw the servants coming to the Empress in a panic to report that something had happened in the kitchen and that the chef in charge of the kitchen had injured her hand, Xiaoxiao knew that this matter was most likely related to her.
