And Madam Pei, even though she knew she was lying, still doted on her.
"If you don't want to go, Grandma won't force you. Just stay in the Red Maple Pavilion by yourself and don't wander around."
"Later, grandma will go eat mooncakes with you!"
Li Qingluo had just returned and sat down when Nanny Deng came to report, "Young lady, as you instructed, I brought Concubine Lou and her daughter into the city last night."
"Wait another half an hour. When the crowds gather at the entrance, they will appear and come to congratulate Madam on her birthday."
Li Qingluo: "Have you arranged for the personnel at the back corner gate?"
Aunt Deng: "Yes. The girl has been released into the mansion. Good news will be coming soon."
Li Qingluo: "Then please, Madam Deng, keep an eye on the situation ahead. If there's anything exciting, report it back to us."
Nanny Deng smiled and quickly retreated.
But I was a little nervous.
The old lady doesn’t know about the plans you have for today. I hope you won’t scare me!
As soon as Nanny Deng left, Li Qingluo asked Cui'er to take some ingredients for making mooncakes that she had prepared yesterday to the yard.
The three of them began to make mooncakes together.
"Today I've prepared meat fillings, flower fillings, fruit fillings, date paste fillings, red bean fillings, and mung bean fillings. What would you like to eat?"
When Que'er heard that there were so many flavors, she swallowed hard unconsciously.

This has made Que'er and the others' appetites very picky.
When I heard about osmanthus wine, my eyes lit up instantly.
"Girl, I want to drink the original puree!"
Li Qingluo patted her forehead and said, "I'm going to make some rice dumplings with fermented glutinous rice wine. You're not allowed to drink too much!"
Here, the master and his two servants were joking and laughing, while on the other side, the gate of the Li family was crowded with guests, making it very lively.
Even the carriages could not stop in front of the door. The servant was so busy that he was dizzy and had to move the carriages to the back alley.
However, at this moment, a mother and daughter who looked out of place, dusty and dressed simply suddenly rushed out.
Before the housekeeper and the servants could chase them away, they saw the mother and daughter kneeling together facing the gate.
"My name is Lou, and I have specially returned from Shu with my daughter to pay my respects to the master and mistress of the household, and wish the mistress a happy birthday and good health!"
As she spoke, she unfolded the only package on her body on the ground, and then took out the gift she had prepared: a long gown embroidered with the word "longevity".
