It symbolizes their annihilation.

In the palace, large gold vases with sunflowers, durians, and gardenias were placed around the palace to drive away poison.

When the late emperor was still alive, he would give owl soup on the Dragon Boat Festival.

The so-called owl soup is a soup made from owl meat.

Xiao refers to an owl.

Owls were regarded as unfilial birds. The emperor made owl soup and gave it to his ministers to warn them not to be unfaithful and unfilial like owls.

It contains the intention of eradicating evil, but the method is too cruel.

After Yu Wenchen came to the throne, this old system was changed. Every year on the Dragon Boat Festival, in addition to the prescribed holidays, ministers will also be given prayer tubes and lucky bags.

Various candies, golden flowers, and rice dumplings are packed inside.

It is intended to eliminate poison and disaster, and bring peace and auspiciousness.

Ministers can receive rewards from the emperor, and the harem is no exception.

In Changle Palace, Qi Ranran had arranged the rice dumplings early.

The Empress Dowager sent it to the palace, and Xu Mei and Zheng Cairen also sent it.

Qi Ranran preferred to eat sweet rice dumplings, and Yuwen Chen happened to like them too, so the palace prepared more sweet rice dumplings.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and told Caiyue,

"Caiyue, I'll pack some salty rice dumplings later and send them to the Imperial Master."

Caiyue was surprised, "Are we going to send rice dumplings to the Imperial Master?"

"Yes, you must eat rice dumplings during the Dragon Boat Festival."

Caiyue thought for a while,
