Chapter 1341 Selecting a Concubine for the Crown Prince of Qingluo (3)
"We'll go when the Marquis comes back. If he doesn't agree, we'll kneel in the yard and won't get up."
"That's right. There's no reason to ruin so many of our daughters for a whore!"
Everyone was indignant and talking excitedly when suddenly a report came from outside that Master Li from the Duke of Liguo's mansion wanted to see the concubines.
Everyone was stunned when they heard it. Why would Master Li want to see them? This... is against the rules!
Girls from wealthy families can't easily see men outside. Not to mention that Xiangyun has divorced Mo Zili, even if they haven't divorced, there's no reason for a son-in-law to see his father-in-law's concubine.
Aunt Hua asked the maid who reported the news: "What did he say?"
The maid said: "Master Li just said that he has something important to tell you, and it concerns the life and death of you and your family members, so please don't refuse."
The words were so serious, and they all knew the power of the Duke of Liguo's Mansion, so they dared not not meet him.
Aunt Hua ordered people to block the eight large flower and bird screens in the flower hall in the center of the room, dividing the flower hall into two. She took the concubines and concubines inside, and asked Mo Zili to stay outside the screen, so that the two sides could talk without meeting each other.
Mo Zili came to the large screen of flowers and birds in the flower hall, but he didn't bow, just said in a cold voice: "This young master came here today for no other reason. I heard that Xiangyun was excluded and slandered in her natal family, which made her worried and sick. Since this matter has passed, this young master will not pursue it anymore. However, if someone dares to hurt her secretly again, this young master will never stand idly by. The consequences are definitely not something she can afford!"
In the latter sentence, his tone has become very sinister.
Aunt Hua said with a guilty conscience: "Young Master Li, haven't you divorced our eldest lady? Why are you still meddling in her affairs?"
Mo Zili said in a cold voice: "At that time, it was not the turn of a servant to interfere in what happened between us. You just need to remember that if she is hurt in the slightest, your family and children, including you, will have to repay her double!"
After that, he turned around and left coldly.
The concubines and concubines were left with stunned faces, looking at each other. Although they were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything...
...
Caiwei slept until the afternoon before waking up. After getting up, she felt much more relaxed. After washing and dressing, she called Qiu to bring her the imperial meal.
She brought a plate of roasted meat that was roasted to a crispy golden color. The roasted meat was extremely fragrant, oily, and steaming. The meat was sliced into thin slices and spread on a plate, and eaten with the pre-mixed seasoning.
In addition to the roasted meat, there was also a plate of cold bracken and cold spinach and peanuts, and a plate of boiled edamame.
Caiwei's diet has always been simple. She only eats four dishes and a soup for each meal. She doesn't have to eat dozens of dishes for each meal like the queens of previous dynasties. Not only can she not finish it, but it also wastes manpower and material resources.
Caiwei added a slice of roasted meat, put it in her mouth and tasted it, praising: "Hmm, what kind of meat is this? It's really delicious!"
Chunliu said: "It's venison, fresh venison, which the emperor just hunted. He ordered it to be sent back and roasted, and wait for the queen to wake up and eat it with the meal."
When Caiwei heard it, her heart was warm, and the meat tasted even better in her mouth.
After eating, Caiwei wiped her mouth and took Huanqiu and Chunliu for a stroll outside, chatting and digesting the food.
Huanqiu said: "My queen, I heard that there will be a bonfire party tonight, roasting the prey that everyone hunted today, and the ladies of each mansion can play and perform, and write poems to liven up the atmosphere. Those who perform well can also get rewards from the queen mother."
