It’s the wedding night

Grand Dowager Empress at once asked her maid to bring the dinner from the Royal kitchen and since the meal belonged to the Grand Dowager Empress, the kitchen worked swiftly and within minutes Little Mimi returned with the dishes that were prepared for the Grand Dowager Empress courtyard and had it placed over the dining table. 

" I apologise if the dishes aren't to your tastes," said Grand Dowager Empress slightly embarrassed when she saw that not a single dish had any meat in it. She was used to eating a vegetarian meal and she has been living a simple life ever since her daughter died, it has been years and she was used to it but the same could be said for Scholar Wei. 

"It's all right, your majesty," Scholar Wei simply picked up his chopsticks calmly and smiled at the Grand Dowager Empress as he took a bite of the stir-fried beans. " I am not very fond of meat dishes myself as well, eating simple and clean is a must sometimes."
