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

Chapter 166 This is a state banquet and not the Qingming Festival to worship ancestors

These words hit the spot, and the ugly look on Concubine Jing's face could no longer be suppressed. She glared at Nan Xian fiercely. It was this unworthy country woman who caused this incident.

Concubine Jing stood up in a perfunctory manner, "Since my sister is determined to have her own way, I won't say more. If I have something else to do, I won't bother my sister here."

After saying that, Concubine Jing looked around at everyone with deep meaning in her eyes and walked away.

After leaving Concubine Hua's palace, Concubine Jing fully expected that some maid or eunuch would come out to persuade her to stay. It was amazing that Mrs. Wu Dinghou and Li Xinyue she summoned should also come out and follow her to her palace.

However, just as Concubine Jing walked out of Concubine Hua's bedroom, laughter and laughter could be heard inside again, as well as the faint sounds of silk and bamboo.

It seemed that they were celebrating the departure of Concubine Jing.

Concubine Jing clenched her fists and was very angry. She wore plain clothes and a ferocious face and went to the study room.

The Shangshufang was the place where Emperor Chongming handled general affairs on weekdays.

When Concubine Hua rushed to Emperor Chongming, Shi Shenting, Shi Heng, several ministers of Zhao Kingdom, and eight princes were discussing matters with Emperor Chongming in the study room.

At present, there is no war in the Zhao Kingdom's four seas and outside. Therefore, the biggest thing for the whole country is to develop the national economy, improve people's livelihood, and receive Yan's envoys.

Seeing Concubine Jing coming from a distance, the little eunuch next to Zhang Renfu was about to stop her.

Zhang Renfu stretched out his hand and pinched the young eunuch's wrist, "That's Concubine Jing, do you dare to stop her?"

Zhang Renfu glanced at the young eunuch.

The little eunuch immediately shrank his neck and said, "I don't dare."

Everyone in the palace knew that Emperor Chongming had doted on Concubine Jing for many years, and he forced this maid to become Concubine Jing who could be equal to Concubine Hua.

Therefore, when Concubine Jing came to the Master's Study Room, no matter what important matters were being discussed in the Master's Study Room, she could not stop her. "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

Concubine Jing's voice sounded outside the minister's study room.

Before Emperor Chongming, the two princes, the eight princes and several important ministers could react, Concubine Jing burst into the study room dressed in white and with a small yellow chrysanthemum on her head.

She saluted Emperor Chongming and said in a crackling voice,

"Your Majesty, why don't you care about Concubine Hua? Do you know how extravagant she is? I see that she plans to use a set of colorful glazed lamps at the state banquet. The dishes for the banquet are also extremely luxurious. We Zhao Can the country’s treasury support my sister’s misbehavior?”

Emperor Chongming did not speak. He only looked at Concubine Jing, who was dressed in white and only wore a small chrysanthemum on her head. He frowned slightly.

Shi Shenting bent down and said to Emperor Chongming,

"Father, my concubine is used to being quick to show off, so I leave this matter to my concubine, and I think it's a big mistake. Now that Concubine Jing is here just in time, why don't we leave the matter of holding the state banquet to Concubine Jing."

Emperor Chongming frowned and handed it to Concubine Jing, which would probably be even more inappropriate.

Concubine Jing sneered and turned to look at Shi Shenting. She glanced up and down at Shi Shenting's black brocade clothes embroidered with dark python patterns.

"It turns out that the Fifth Highness is also here. It just so happens that the Fifth Highness has entered the palace today. Why don't you go to your mother's palace to have a look? Your mother and concubine summoned Princess Yuhua and the Qingping County Lord today. The dishes on the table are made of flying dragons and carved phoenixes, which really opened my eyes."

She meant something, "Your mother-in-law is really too extravagant and wasteful. If everyone spends as much money as your mother-in-law, when will our Zhao Kingdom's treasury be full?"

Shi Shenting did not argue with Concubine Jing, but just lowered his eyes and said, "What Concubine Jing taught me is that the concubines at the state banquet were just like Concubine Jing. They all dressed plainly, and they were called the envoys of the State of Yan." I have seen the virtue of diligence and frugality in our Zhao country."

As soon as these words were spoken, the Eighth Prince, the brother of Emperor Chongming, immediately said angrily,
"All the palace concubines are dressed in plain colors, so how should the noble family members entering the palace dress up? This is a state banquet and not a Qingming Festival to worship ancestors. Do we want all the noble ladies from all over the country to go to the funeral?"
