The Grand Empress Dowager, being the elder, did not have to observe mourning for the younger generations, so she was allowed to eat meat.
It was the same as before.
The original plan had been to prepare a vegetarian feast, but now, she did not want to eat vegetarian food, and since Noble Lady Ming was pregnant and His Majesty had exempted her from abstaining from meat, it was just right.
Therefore, the table was quite sumptuous.
By comparison, the two dishes Ye Zao asked for were utterly pitiful.

Although they were mixed with spicy sesame oil, they still did not look very appealing.
Ye Zao, looking at the table full of delicacies, had no appetite, but upon seeing the wild vegetable pancakes and pickles, her mouth watered.
