Cai Wei said sheepishly, "Auntie, since there's no place to put your special dish, why don't you eat mine?"
Du Meiren laughed, "That can't be done, didn't you hear what the eunuch who delivers the meals said? This was specially made for you by the higher-ups, why should I eat it?"
Cai Wei replied, "Anyway, I can't finish it all, the leftovers will just be shared with them, also it's better to have it with Auntie!"
After she finished talking, without waiting for a response, she took Du Meiren's hand and they both sat down together.
Unable to go against Cai Wei's insistence, Du Meiren reluctantly ate with her. However, she would not touch the expensive bowl of rock sugar blood swallow soup. She only drank half bowl of millet porridge and had one piece of small rice cake and two pickled cucumbers before she was full.
