Chapter 51 Punishment of Concubine Li
Concubine Li opened her beautiful eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
"You want me to finish all these dishes by myself?"
How could she possibly finish all these dishes by herself? Was the prince trying to starve her to death? !
Xiao Xixi also opened her eyes wide and asked in disbelief.
"Sister Li, are you going to eat all these dishes by yourself?"
Damn, there are so many delicious foods, but Concubine Li was allowed to eat them all alone. Your Highness is too partial!
She couldn't help but grab the corner of Luo Qinghan's sleeve, her almond eyes full of pleading.
She wants to eat too!
Luo Qinghan looked at her coldly.
She was trembling with fear when she was looked at. She timidly let go of her little hand and whimpered pitifully.
Luo Qinghan felt as if his heart was gently tickled.
He couldn't help but rub Xiao Xixi's head and gave instructions lightly.
"Go get another fish and cook it to Xiao Liangdi's liking."
Xiao Xixi immediately burst into laughter: "I want to eat spicy fish slices, put more chili!"
Baoqin agreed with a smile and walked towards the backyard.
Seeing that Concubine Li did not move, Luo Qinghan said coldly, "If you don't finish these dishes within half an hour, you will be punished."
Concubine Li had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks with tears in her eyes and start stuffing food into her mouthful.
The more she ate, the more uncomfortable she felt, and tears fell down her face.
In order to maintain her figure, she usually eats very little, only half a bowl of rice at a meal, but now there are eight full plates of food in front of her, and each plate is very large.
She struggled to finish the third dish, but she couldn't eat any more.
She covered her aching stomach with one hand and felt like vomiting.
She looked at the prince with tears in her eyes, begging him to spare her.
Luo Qinghan was very unhappy that a good lunch was ruined by someone. Since he was unhappy, he naturally would not let others be happy.
"I advise you to eat quickly, as time is running out."
Concubine Li ate the third dish with great difficulty. When her chopsticks reached for the fourth dish, she finally couldn't bear it anymore. She suddenly got up, rushed out in a hurry, bent over and vomited while holding onto a tree trunk.
Caiyun asked worriedly while patting her back to help her calm down.
"My lady, are you alright?"
Concubine Li vomited everything in her stomach in one breath, and her originally beautiful face had turned as pale as paper.
With Caiyun's support, she staggered back into the house.
She knelt on the ground, choking with sobs, "Your Highness, I really can't eat anymore. I am willing to accept the punishment."
Luo Qinghan asked coldly: "Don't you think eight dishes are too few?"
"I know I was wrong, and I will never dare to say anything more."
"Go back to your Golden Wind Hall and copy the Lotus Sutra thirty times. Do not leave the Golden Wind Hall until you have finished copying."
Concubine Li's body trembled.
The Lotus Sutra has a total of eight volumes. If I were to copy it thirty times, my hands would probably be cut off.
But the prince's words were golden, and Concubine Li did not dare to resist. She could only cry and say, "I understand."
She stood up with the help of Caiyun, wiped her tears and left Qingge Palace.
Concubine Li came with great expectations and left crying.
This matter soon spread throughout the East Palace.
Everyone was making fun of Concubine Li, thinking she was useless. As a concubine, she couldn't even control a little concubine.
Xiao Xixi, one of the parties involved, didn't know about these things. She was now eating her spicy sliced fish contentedly.
She has been eating only plain food these past few days, but today she can finally eat meat to her heart's content, so happy!
