All members of the imperial family, except Xie Yuxuan surrounded the dinning table eating and drinking in happiness.
Cai Ruolan at first, had went out to look for him, but she gave up when she had the feeling that he was with his mistress.
She came back to the table to start eating her fried rice along with Xie Peizhi and the empress.
Emperor Xie Mingze was highly impressed when he tasted the food, he complimented Empress Gu Zongying countlessly for having such a great cooking talent.
But the empress looked quite worried about someone, she couldn’t focus on her food because of him.
“Shouldn’t Xie Yuxuan be here with us?” Empress Gu Zongying asked for the hundredth time. She just couldn’t understand what was wrong with him these days.
The emperor who was always less concerned about such matters shrugged. “He told me the he had a few things to sort out. He’s fine”
