In the palace, other than at the imperial banquet, Xuanyuan Que never shared a meal at the same table with anyone, nor did he interact with his brothers and sisters.
He always dined alone at the banquet.
Therefore, it was the first time for the few newlywed couples to have the fortune of dining with Xuanyuan Que.
Then the illustrious princes and grandsons discovered they had never truly understood their royal brother!
They had assumed he was a loner, self-centered, arrogant, and selfish.
However, he personally served dishes to the ninth Princess, peeled shrimp for her, without the aid of any palace maid or eunuch.
Seeing the other grandsons staring dumbfounded, the Empress Dowager said, "You would do well to learn from Xiaojiu; those who cherish their wives have a promising future!"
Hearing this, the princes and grandsons each picked up a piece of food with the public chopsticks and placed it into their wives' bowls.
