Chapter 4159

The difference between things is striking. Think about how my sisters used to live, and then look at how they live now. It's like comparing heaven and earth!

Given Lena, Lilith, and their sisters' current state of mind, if Qi Yun were to order them to take up their knives and commit suicide on the spot, they might hesitate.

If Qi Yun were to order them to take weapons and kill someone, her sisters would probably rush forward without hesitation.

The saying "A scholar will die for one who understands him, and a woman will adorn herself for one who appreciates her" has been passed down through the ages because it has been proven by history.

Soon, Lena, Annie, Lilith, and their sisters came out of the room carrying or moving tables, chairs, and benches.

Then, the sisters began to set up tables, chairs, and benches in the courtyard, which was neither too big nor too small.

After about a dozen breaths, Lena respectfully waved to Qi Yun, the Third Princess, Ren Qingrui, Gu Molanya, and Little Cutie and her whole family.

"Ladies, young ladies, and young lady, please have a seat."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun smiled and nodded slightly before lifting her lotus feet and walking towards the table placed in the middle.

"Sisters, Yue'er, don't stand there, come and sit down."

"Hey, okay."

"Hey, here it comes, here it comes."

After her family was all seated, Qi Yun realized that there were no extra chairs next to the tables.

Seeing this, Qi Yun smiled and glanced at Lena, Lilith, and their group of sisters who were standing to the side serving her.

"Lena, Lilith, why didn't you sisters prepare some stools for yourselves?"
Upon hearing Qi Yun's question, Lena quickly replied softly, "Madam, my sisters and I can just stand."

"Yes, yes, madam, your servants and sisters can just stand aside."

"Madam, my sisters and I agree."

Qi Yun listened to the similar answers from Lena and Lilith, and then heard the unanimous responses from the other maids. She smiled and shook her head slightly.

“Lena, this isn’t a formal occasion, so you sisters don’t need to stand by and serve us.”

"My sisters, go back to the room right now and bring out some stools so that we can all sit down together."

Upon hearing Qi Yun's words, Lena quickly responded.

"Madam, this is inappropriate."

"Oh! There's nothing inappropriate about it. I've already told you sisters that this isn't a formal occasion, so you don't need to stand by and serve."

Besides, my family and I have come here to ask you sisters some questions.

That means we're going to be talking for quite a while!

"Do you sisters expect us to always have to crane our necks to speak to you?"

As soon as Qi Yun said this, Lena, Annie, and the other sisters immediately shook their heads like rattles.

"Madam, that's not what we sisters meant."

"Yes, yes, yes, my sisters and I absolutely did not mean that."

"Since you don't mean it that way, then go get a stool!"

Upon hearing this, Lena and her sisters nodded vigorously to Qi Yun without hesitation.

"Yes, sisters, we obey."

Immediately afterwards, all the sisters turned around and ran back to their respective rooms.

"Madam, please wait a little longer. We sisters will be right back."

Seeing this, Qi Yun smiled and gently shook her head a few times before casually placing her pair of fair and flawless hands on the table in front of her.

Before long, Lena, Lilith, and their sisters, each carrying a small stool, returned from the room to the small courtyard.

Just as Lena was about to reach Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and Little Cutie, she seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly turned around and ran back to her room.

Soon, she came running out of the room again, carrying a small stool in each of her fair hands.

Lena held two small stools, one for herself and the other clearly for her good friend Caroline, who was going to arrange tea.

"call!"

Lena let out a long breath and then gently placed the two small stools she was holding on the ground.

"Madam, shall we sisters take our seats?"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun smiled and nodded gently twice.

"Hehe~ hehehe, sit down, everyone sit down."

"Thank you, Madam, my sisters and I."

Lena and her sisters thanked Qi Yun in unison before turning around and sitting down on the small stools behind them.

After everyone was seated, Qi Yun smiled and gently pursed her luscious cherry lips twice before turning her gaze directly to Lilith's pretty face.

"Lilith."

"Yes, madam! Please speak, I'm listening!"

As soon as Lilith finished speaking, just as Qi Yun was about to say something, Caroline's respectful voice suddenly rang out from outside the courtyard gate.

"Reporting to Madam, your servant and my brothers have brought the tea. May we go in now?"

Qi Yun heard Caroline's respectful voice suddenly coming from outside the courtyard gate, and immediately turned her long, slender neck, with its jade-like skin, to look towards the gate.

"That's convenient, just bring your people in."

"Yes, the servant knows."

"Gentlemen, please."

"No, no, Miss Caroline, please go first."

"Brothers, together, together."

As Caroline spoke with several dragon warriors carrying trays, they walked together into the courtyard, which was neither too big nor too small.

"Madam, ladies, young ladies, young lady, this servant greets you."

"Your humble servants pay their respects to Your Majesty the Empress and all the Noble Consorts. May you live a thousand years!"

Greetings to the two ladies, and best wishes to you both.

"Greetings, Your Highness, may you live a thousand years!"

Qi Yun smiled and nodded slightly, then extended her long, slender arms and gestured to Caroline and several dragon soldiers carrying trays.

"No need for formalities, no need for any formalities at all."

"Thank you, Madam."

"Your Majesty, we thank you." Caroline quickly straightened her slender waist and then immediately waved to the several dragon soldiers.

"Brothers, please follow me for a while."

"It's only right, it's all only right."

After about twenty or thirty breaths, Caroline respectfully placed the tea and snacks from the trays held by the dragon soldiers onto the tables where Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and Little Cutie were sitting.

"Your Majesty, if there is nothing else, we will take our leave now."

"Okay, go and do your own things."

"Yes, Wei Chen is resigning."

After several of the Dragon Warriors answered Qi Yun's question respectfully, they immediately turned and headed straight for the gate of the courtyard.

Qi Yun glanced down at the tea and snacks on the table in front of her, a faint smile flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Previously, he had only instructed Caroline to arrange tea, but he did not expect that in addition to tea, the girl would also arrange snacks such as melon seeds, nuts, candied fruit, and pastries.

It has to be said that Caroline is becoming more and more thoughtful in handling matters.

Caroline noticed Qi Yun glancing down at the tea and snacks on the table, and respectfully curtsied to her.

"Madam, when I was informing the elder brothers to prepare tea, I suddenly realized that it would be too boring for you to just drink tea while you were chatting, so I took the liberty of instructing the elder brothers to prepare some snacks to pass the time."

This servant acted without Madam's permission, and hopes Madam will not take offense.

Qi Yun slightly raised her eyes to look at Caroline, who was bowing to her, and waved her hand with a smile.

"Caroline, you have considered things very carefully. I am very satisfied."

Your sister Lena has prepared a small stool for you; please sit down with them.

"Yes, slaves obey."

After straightening her slender waist, Caroline turned around and walked towards the small stool next to her best friend Lena.

Qi Yun reached out her fair, delicate hand and picked up a few almonds from the plate. Suddenly remembering something, she immediately called out softly to Caroline, who had already taken two or three steps forward.

"Caroline, wait a minute."

Upon hearing this, Caroline quickly stopped and turned around respectfully to look at Qi Yun.

"Madam, is there anything else you require?"

Qi Yun smiled sweetly, raising her eyebrows slightly, and casually pointed to the snacks on the table with her delicate, fair finger.

"Caroline, you have prepared quite a lot of snacks. My family and I can't eat much. Please take some snacks from the plate before you sit down."

"Madam, this!"

"What do you mean 'what'? Just arrest me if I tell you to. Let's eat and talk."

"Yes, madam, I will obey."

Qi Yun smiled and nodded twice, then turned slightly to look at Lena, Lilith, Annie, and their group of sisters.

"Lena, Lilith, you sisters, come over and grab some snacks from the plate, then go back to sit down."

"Yes, we sisters obey. Thank you, Madam."

The Third Princess, Qinglian, Ren Qingrui, and Little Cutie, along with their mother and daughter, greeted the maids who had risen from their small stools with smiles on their faces.

"Lena, you sisters shouldn't all sit at one table. Come, come, you sisters, come to our table."

"Kafney, over here, over here, you sisters come over here."

“Sally, all you sisters, come to our table.”

"Yes, yes, I understand."

"Yes, the servant knows."

"Yes, I understand. I'm coming, I'm coming."

When Qi Yun saw Caroline, she only grabbed a few melon seeds from the plate and was about to turn and leave when she immediately raised her fair left hand and pointed to the plate containing almonds, raisins, and pastries.

"Caroline, Caroline, look at you, what can you do with just a few melon seeds?"
Come on, come on, have a little bit of everything: nuts, raisins, and pastries.

If you can't carry much with one hand, use both hands. If you still can't carry much with both hands, fold up the tissue paper you're using to wipe your hands and put it in there.

"Yes, yes, thank you, Madam."

In no time, the maids, each holding a folded piece of paper in one hand, gracefully returned to their respective stools and sat down again.

Qi Yun poured herself a cup of tea, then turned around with a smile and looked at Lilith while eating an almond from her fair hand.

"Lilith."

"Yes, I am here."

"Lilith, since your hometown is in the Kingdom of Yemen, why don't you tell my family about the customs of marriage between men and women in the Kingdom of Yemen?"

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess, Qinglian, the Empress, Ren Qingrui, Gu Molanya, and Little Cutie and her mother all turned their gazes to Lilith's charming and lovely face, some cracking melon seeds, others eating raisins, and still others munching on nuts.

"Madam, in Yemen, where the country has been destroyed, when a man and woman get married, it is usually done by..."

For a moment, Lilith carefully recounted some of the customs of marriage between men and women in the Kingdom of Yemen, and Qi Yun, the Third Princess, and Little Cutie all listened quietly.

Time passes silently, quietly.

Before we knew it, the sun had quietly climbed to near its zenith.

Judging from the sun in the sky, it's almost halfway past noon.

In Liu Mingzhi's study.

At this moment, Young Master Liu was still slowly walking around the sand table in the study, pondering to himself with a thoughtful expression in his eyes.

Suddenly.

Suddenly, Liu Song's loud shout rang out from outside the courtyard gate where Liu Mingzhi lived.

"Reporting to Young Master, I, Liu Song, have something to discuss with you. Are you there, Young Master?"

Upon hearing Liu Song's loud shout from outside the courtyard gate, Liu Mingzhi immediately stopped his slow walking and turned to look outside the study with a slight frown.

"Liu Song, did my elder brother send you to inform me to attend the banquet?"

Upon hearing his young master's question, Liu Song immediately raised his voice and replied, "Yes, young master, that's exactly right."

Young Master Song has already arranged food and wine at his residence, and is just waiting for you, General Cheng, General Feng, and your brothers to arrive.

Upon hearing this, Liu Mingzhi raised his hands and gently massaged the acupoints on both sides of his forehead while walking slowly and deliberately out of the study.

"Liu Song, what time is it now?"

"Reporting to young master, it is already a quarter past noon."
