Banquet ( 8 )

Xiao Li looked at Ji Cheng who was already seated with Zhao Ming, in anger. He again left her standing like this. 

She held onto her dress tightly, leaving it to crumble. 

Then she went to her seat, beside Ji Cheng without any expressions. 

..... 

Whereas Lu shi has already picked up the tray and started distributing to the other consorts, while thinking, ' I can't understand what Miss is thinking. How can she take away the gift that she has given to the Empress Dowager?' 

The other Consorts hesitantly took the gifts that Lu shi was distributing. Only Consort Xie Mei and Xiao Li denied the gift. 

Xie Mei said to Lu shi who was distributing the gift, " Hah. Now Empress Dowager didn't take the gift, so she is passing on to us. I don't want it. If the mother hasn't taken it, then it isn't worth it." she said arrogantly. 

Lu shi looked at her and passed by her without saying anything. She doesn't care if she wanted or not.
