Performance Second Watch (1)_1 Caiwei stole a few glances at the Empress Dowager, then lowered her gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True enough, the Empress was a beauty among beauties, a national treasure, the most stunning in the Imperial Harem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is no wonder she gave birth to such a handsome son as Nangong Yi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the Empress emanated a cold and proud aura, as if she was all alone in this world, lacking the maternal affinity expected from the mother of a nation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Empress Mo, hand on Luo Xue’s arm, ascended the steps to the Waterside Pavilion, where her throne was already set up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the throne was an ornately carved lacquer table and on either side behind the Empress, eunuchs and palace maids lined up like the wings of wild geese.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They held items such as the incense burner, embroidered handkerchief, rinse bowl, and duster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luo Xue stood unwaveringly by the right side of Empress Mo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To the left and right of the Empress’s throne were a few empty chairs, indicating that there were some yet to arrive, but it wasn’t clear who.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seating arrangement for the young ladies was dependent on the official rank of their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher their family’s status, the closer their seats were to the Waterside Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Consequently, Caiwei’s table was placed far from the Waterside Pavilion, so far that she could barely see the people inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas, Helana’s seat was arranged inside the Waterside Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it was at the far end, the young ladies who had seats inside the pavilion were, besides princesses, only her and Li Ruizhu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Today, the Empress Dowager seemed to be in poor spirits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After uttering a few polite remarks, she commanded for the banquet to begin and for the food and wine to be served.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had arrived early at the palace, and to avoid needing the washroom, they had come on an empty stomach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, having played for the whole morning and with mealtime long past, they were all famished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they heard the banquet was about to begin, they all perked up, eagerly anticipating the meal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The court banquet was exceedingly sumptuous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were five delicacies: white boiled fish lips, Luohan big shrimp, venison tail roast, rare delicacies of fivefold thorns, and eight-treasure diced rabbit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Additionally, there were four types of cakes, one plate of steamed dishes, and one plate of braised dishes, two boxes of snail appetizers, along with pearl-like japonica rice and lamb strip soup served in a silver hot pot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from this, there were also ten varieties of rice and flour dishes, as well as dairy products, including small bamboo roll bread, small elephant eye bread, snail-shaped buns with bean paste, paste oil square points, oil cakes, pea buns, spoon buns with red cakes, and three types of oven biscuits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Caiwei hadn’t eaten breakfast, and having sparred for a while with the imperial guards on top of dealing with her period, she now felt exceedingly hungry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with such a feast, of course she didn’t hesitate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they received the command to start, she began to eat heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few young ladies at the table initially maintained their dainty airs, eating little bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after seeing Caiwei’s unrestrained eating, one of them couldn’t resist, and joined Caiwei in eating heartily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Caiwei, here, this is delicious!”Xiang Yun, food still in her mouth and cheeks bulging, placed a peeled Luohan shrimp onto Caiwei’s plate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you, Sister Xiang Yun!”Caiwei picked it up, and consumed it in large bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was indeed tasty!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Caiwei enjoying her food, Du Wanqiu felt anger, hatred, and contempt in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vulgar woman, consumed by greed and desperation, behaved as if she hadn’t eaten for generations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She did not show any restraint or uphold any dignified deportment when eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides her good looks, she didn’t have a single admirable quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, why were so many good men falling over each other to win her favour?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alas!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These men were truly blind!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Caiwei was enjoying her meal, she suddenly felt a chill, as though something was gripping her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She instinctively lifted her head and from a distance she saw a cold gaze fixed on her from the Waterside Pavilion.\u003C\u002Fp>",720,"2026-06-03T13:14:27.289Z","2026-06-03T13:14:31.393Z",1,"novelbin.me","ddb453e51b1c5a59f834f1bf1779df6b6bd713a8b74a722088cbc1bb86be7636","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-352","transmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-chapter-351",2136,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Ftransmigration-from-farmer-to-empress-cover.jpg"]
