Chief Eunuch Li, upon hearing what Housekeeper Ye said, didn't care if it was true or not.
Six jin of honey, two for himself, two for the Empress, and two for the Emperor—other concubines he couldn't bother to consider, let alone the princes and princesses.
If they wanted some, they could ask someone from the Ye Residence!
Chief Eunuch Li decided that he absolutely, absolutely, must keep his two jin. He couldn't give it away to anyone else since it was vital for his own health.
Of course, Housekeeper Ye hadn't honestly revealed everything; he planned to deliver the remaining honey and chrysanthemums to his master.
Having given away six jin of honey, a twinge of discomfort stirred in his heart, then he also gifted three portions of chrysanthemums, sending Chief Eunuch Li away in great joy.
As Chief Steward Li was about to leave, Ye Shiqi presented a box, saying it was a personal gift for the Empress and it must be protected well, to keep it a secret from others.
