The emperor also sighed. Zhou Man had a bowl of steaming noodles to eat, which he did not. After changing clothes, he casually tucked two pieces of snacks for himself and came out from the rear hall, greeting the ministers in the court with a smile.
Then he engaged in cordial and friendly conversations with the ministers sitting in the front row on both sides, discussing some state affairs during the break.
Gu Zhong was even busier, personally overseeing matters. After three quarter-hours, he finally led teams of eunuchs into the hall to distribute meal boxes.
Manbao, sitting at her own seat, also received a meal box.
She was quite delighted. Although she had just eaten a bowl of noodles, after walking back from the rear hall and sitting for a while, she was still a bit hungry.
