Hot and bustling

There were all kinds of delicacies in the palace—from flying birds to land animals and even sea creatures. It was no exaggeration to say that just breakfast alone was enough to fill a big table.

But no matter how delicious the food was, Xiaoyi had no appetite for it.

He usually takes only a few bites from each dish, and if he takes one bite too many, the servants would remove the dish from the table. Even if he liked a particular dish, he could not express his fondness for it and can only say that "it's alright". Similarly, if he disliked a dish, he couldn't express his distaste for it and can only say "it's alright". If he comes across a dish that is mediocre, he could only describe it as such.

In short, he had to describe every dish as "alright".
