Hou Men’s Poison Queen: After rebirth, I took revenge on my whole family

Chapter 164 This kind of family heritage is something that Concubine Jing does not have.
The eldest princess took two steps forward and stood in front of Li Xinyue. She asked the concubine Jing with a smile, "

"What are you doing here, your Majesty? Are you also here to get involved in planning how to hold a state banquet?"

Her blocking blocked the way for Li Xinyue to reach Concubine Jing.

If Concubine Jing continues to talk to Li Xinyue, she will not give face to the eldest princess.

So Concubine Jing had no choice but to reply to the eldest princess's words, "Yeah, eh, I heard that Mrs. Wu Dinghou was called to the palace of Concubine Hua's sister by you, the eldest princess, so I came over to take a look."

Sitting in the front seat, Concubine Hua was bored and playing with the tassels on her palace skirt. She looked like she was too lazy to talk to Concubine Jing and said in a weird voice,

"Yes, we are all here talking about what utensils should be used to entertain Princess Yan at the state banquet. Since sister Jingfei is here, I wonder if she has any good things, let us see them."

Wasn't her words a slap in Concubine Jing's face?

Everyone knows that Concubine Jing's background is not as good as Concubine Hua. Although Concubine Jing has been doting on the harem for many years, she has also received many flattering gifts from people in private.

But in front of Concubine Hua, the eldest princess and others who are used to seeing good things, none of these things are unusual.

If Concubine Jing really takes it out like a treasure, it will make people laugh.

The expression on Concubine Jing's face was stern, "What good things can I have? No matter how good my things are, they are not as good as those in my sister's palace."

Concubine Jing felt uncomfortable, but she did not leave. She did not forget that the purpose of coming to Concubine Hua's palace this time was to bring Mrs. Wu Dinghou and Li Xinyue back to her palace so that they could discuss the issue of Shi Heng together. Marriage to Li Xinyue.

Just as she was about to watch Zhang Yuhe and Li Xinyue talking, Concubine Hua clapped her hands.

"I guess so. My sister is very poor. Since she is here, let us enjoy the treasures that I have treasured for many years."

The Sui Eunuch next to him immediately stepped forward and summoned a group of palace maids. Each of the palace maids held a tray in their hands, and the trays were filled with dazzling and rare treasures.

Every item brought out elicited bursts of applause from the eldest princess, the Duke’s wife, and the princesses.

There are some things that even Nan Xian was surprised to see.

They really saw how exquisite and fun the gadgets in Concubine Hua's Palace were.

If nothing else, let’s talk about the palace lantern. As long as the palace ladies walk holding the palace lantern, the figures on the palace lantern will rotate and change.

If you look carefully, it looks like a maid dancing on the palace lantern, which makes you feel extremely precious and exquisite.

Even Concubine Jing felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at all the treasures one by one and couldn't help but be fascinated by them.By the time she came to her senses, several hours had passed and it was time to pass on the food. She was filled with jealousy towards Concubine Hua.

Concubine Jing does not have this kind of family heritage.

"It is rare that the Emperor will not come to my palace today, so you will stay here to have a simple meal."

Concubine Hua's bedroom has its own small kitchen, but Concubine Jing's does not. After all, it all has to be paid for out of pocket.

Concubine Jing was a picky person and was reluctant to spend money to buy a small kitchen for her bedroom.

Looking at the exquisite dishes on the table, she couldn't help but feel jealous, and her unbalanced emotions overwhelmed her.

Why is she more favored than Concubine Hua? She is Emperor Chongming's true love. Even if she can't compare to Concubine Hua in family life, she can't even compare to Concubine Hua in terms of meal standards?

"Our Zhao Kingdom has been fighting for so many years. Because the treasury is empty, the palace has promoted frugality for many years. Sister, it is different in the palace. The food I eat is more exquisite and delicious than what is on your majesty's desk. "

Everyone was looking at the carved carrot placed in front of their table.

After hearing Concubine Jing's words, everyone looked at Concubine Hua.

After all, what Concubine Jing said makes sense.

Concubine Hua's expenses were very extravagant, and the State of Zhao had indeed fought for many years. Not only did the palace advocate frugality, but in fact, the wealthy families should not be too extravagant.

If it is too extravagant, it will be punished by officials.

The expression on Concubine Hua's face instantly turned cold. She was like a child. She was domineering when she was happy and had a bad temper when she was angry.

Concubine Jing consciously broke the game and sat there waiting for Concubine Jing to lose her temper. She just wanted to show these eldest princesses, princesses, ladies-in-waiting, etc. that this Concubine Hua was not an easy person to get along with, let alone Not as approachable as she is.

Nan Xian opened his mouth at this time and said calmly:
"Now that the Zhao Kingdom is at peace and the sea is clear, these dishes will be used at the state banquet. They are also served for your highnesses and ladies to taste. Are there any shortcomings in such dishes?"

"It's okay if you are too frugal, but you can't let the envoys of the Yan State see the poor and picky look of our Zhao State, otherwise they will think that our Zhao State's treasury is so empty that we can't even raise troops. Look, if our Zhao Kingdom doesn’t come, we will have to start a large-scale war and offend our Zhao Kingdom.”

"So it is better to sacrifice the small than to lose the big. We have demonstrated our national prestige in these details. One less battle can save the lives of tens of thousands of our border soldiers."

Concubine Hua said, "Ah, yes, yes, that's what I think. Xian'er knows what I mean."
