Before nightfall, they got to eat zongzi.
The Fifth Prince couldn't eat much, half of a half was already a lot for him.
However, he couldn't even finish that little bit...
Gun Gun thought, these are so hard to eat, not as good as meatballs.
Of course, next year's Dragon Boat Festival, he would still make a fuss about wanting to eat zongzi... He wouldn't remember how they tasted.
In the Forbidden City, even though His Majesty was absent, the palace was still much livelier than in previous years because of the arrival of a few new masters.
The servants wanted to curry favor, after all, seven people had entered the palace, one of them had to gain favor, right? Not to say they could compare with Consort Ming Guipin, but at least they could stand a chance to snatch a bit of affection, couldn't they?
If they managed to win favor with them, they would benefit, wouldn't they?
The one who was most flattered by the servants was the Empress's niece, Noble Lady Quan.
