Empress Dowager of House Arrest

"The emperor hasn't accompanied This Dowager for dinner for a very long time. I'm very happy that you're able to come, but how could it be a disturbance? I've made an old duck soup, and the emperor has been busy with national affairs recently, so he's had a lot to drink."

Empress Dowager Zhu greeted with a look of love.

"Thank you, Imperial Mother."

Xiao Chengyan thanked him politely.

After that, no one spoke, and Xiao Zhen, whose appetite was already bad, had even lost his appetite. However, he was afraid that Xiao Chengyan might be unhappy, so he forced himself to finish all the food in the bowl.

After eating dinner, Xiao Chengyan asked Xiao Zhen to go and recite the letter.
