Hearing these words, the Emperor felt sick at heart, but he smiled on the surface and said, "It is the filial neglect of your son, I will certainly visit the Empress Dowager more often in the future."
At this moment, the eunuchs and palace maids began to carry in plates of dishes.
After everything was arranged, the Empress Dowager gestured for the Emperor to start eating, "Please taste this, I specially ordered these dishes for you. See if they suit your palate?"
The Emperor picked up his chopsticks with great face, "The food made in the Empress Dowager's palace naturally suits the taste, your son is blessed."
The Empress Dowager immediately laughed, "If the Emperor likes it, then come over more often and I'll have the kitchen make it for you."
The Emperor nodded, "Thank you, Empress Dowager."
Eat without speaking and sleep without talking; afterward, neither the Emperor nor the Empress Dowager spoke much, just quietly eating.
