Empress Dowager Xiaojing suppressed her displeasure and asked Matron Chen, "Has dinner been prepared?"
"Dinner is ready, Your Imperial Highness."
"Serve the meal then." Empress Dowager Xiaojing commanded.
"Yes." Matron Chen answered and went down.
Shortly after, the palace maids slowly walked in with the meal in their hands.
After finishing the meal, Empress Dowager Xiaojing took a brocade box out of Matron Chen's hands and said to Lu Liangwei in a kind manner, "Come here, Your Highness."
Lu Liangwei paused, she could vaguely guess her intention from her posture. She got up and walked over.
"Your Imperial Highness."
Empress Dowager Xiaojing took her hand and thoroughly looked her up and down. "Your Highness is really beautiful and even prettier up-close." She said admiringly while opening the brocade box. She took out a jade bracelet and intended to put it around her wrist.
