She had just returned to the Imperial Palace, and instead of staying by the Emperor's side, she went back to her own palace to rest. While many people were probably still stuck on this point, Jiang Xue was already, under the palace maids' service, bathed, changed, and off to sleep. She was exhausted, and couldn't care less what people in the palace thought. Anyway, she just gave one order: "No visitors." Naturally, there would always be people willing to work themselves to the bone for her.
This nap actually didn't last very long. After all, it was already close to Noon when she came back to the palace, and she had skipped lunch just to run back to sleep. So by the time the palace maids woke her up, her stomach was growling nonstop.
Knowing she had to attend a banquet in the evening—these court gatherings were generally not good for eating properly—she called the palace maids over for the sake of her "Temple of Five Viscera."
