Xiang Qianqian fell to the ground in pain, crying out.
The dry biscuit firmly grasped in her hand was immediately snatched away by two concubines.
"Don't steal mine, this is my food!" Xiang Qianqian refused to let go, while the concubines pried her fingers open one by one.
She cried out in pain, but Empress Dowager Shangguan harshly scolded her: "What are you grabbing for? I am an elder and you should give it to me as a matter of course."
"Not just from you, but all the foods collected by everyone must be handed over for me to decide how much each gets. If you dare resist again, don't blame me, this common grandmother, for being heartless!"
With that, Empress Dowager Shangguan waved her hand: "Leave her be, to punish her, she gets nothing to eat tonight, starve her for a full day and night, and see if she dares to defy me again."
Xiang Qianqian cried on the ground, "Imperial Grandmother, I am really very hungry, please give the dry biscuit back to me."
