The next morning, Sheng Li and Ying Lili arrived at the Palace. They went to the hall to give morning greetings to the elders. Today, Prince Lu Qifeng would also show his presence in the greeting hall and eventually meet Princess Qi Jing.
After the morning greetings, Ying Lili and Sheng Li sat in their respective seats. "Crown Princess, last night you were not in the Palace. I have given the responsibility to you regarding the hospitality towards Prince Lu Qifeng. There were a lot of spices in his food because of which he could not eat. This behavior by you was not expected," Empress Wei scolded the Crown Princess in front of everyone.
Ying Lili apologized for not being present at that time. "Pardon me, your majesty. But why are you scolding the Crown Princess? She was spending time with her husband. Isn't this the marriage of your daughter?! Her majesty should take care of the needs of Prince Lu, not the Crown Princess," Sheng Li proclaimed in exasperation.
