Qin Qingluo was indeed unhappy about Chen Yi being in her Prince Mansion and openly flirting, but she didn't cut off his women despite saying as much, and tonight she sent over a sumptuous dinner.
Soon, a line of maids and servants came carrying delicately carved multi-layered food boxes, filing in to set up the table with dishes on the large rosewood round table in the side hall.
Heat accompanied by tempting aromas immediately spread, dispelling the slight chill of the winter night.
The food in the Prince Mansion always had a certain standard and attention to detail. Although this wasn't a formal banquet, there was no negligence at all. The dishes were balanced between meat and vegetables, focusing on seasonal and nourishing components. Just the few appetizers served first—the red and bright rouge goose breast, the crisp pickled small cucumber, and a dish of crispy fried whitebait—were exceedingly exquisite.
