Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 257 Bickering
In the Queen's palace, the maid behind Zheng Youlian was carrying large and small packages of gifts. Zheng Youlian walked towards the Queen's palace with a smile on her face: "Concubine Zheng Youlian pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."

"Huh? Zheng Youlian? Why are you here?" The queen lying on the beauty couch slowly opened her auspicious eyes.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing my sister from the crisis at the Princess' banquet. I am here to thank you for coming."

The queen glanced at the maid beside her and gave her a wink, and the maid stepped forward to take the gift.

Zheng Youlian was slightly happy when she saw the Queen accept the gift, thinking that the matter was a success.

"I am the mother of the country, so it's natural for me to care about my people. That's fine."

Zheng Youlian said, "Yes, Your Majesty is so glorious that I cannot reach your level." Zheng Youlian was so focused on the Queen's happiness at receiving the gift that she forgot that the Queen did not let her sit down.

"Speaking of which, your third sister's name is...", what's her name?

Zheng Youlian took over the conversation: "In reply to the Queen, my third sister's name is Zheng Eying." After being the housekeeper in the Fifth Prince's Palace for a few days, she knew the rules better.

"Well, she is a well-behaved person, but she is still young and naughty. You just need to teach her a lesson."

Zheng Youlian said, "Your Majesty, you may not know that the Crown Prince also likes the Third Sister's personality."

As soon as these words came out, the maids around the Queen also looked down on Zheng Youlian. A bastard, she wanted to be the Crown Princess. "Zheng Eying is so cute, every man will like her." The Queen was kind on the surface, but in her heart she was extremely disgusted with this bastard. "I am tired, Dongqin."

The palace maid beside the emperor came down the steps and made a "please" gesture: "Concubine Zheng——"

"Yes, I will retire."

After Zheng Youlian left, the queen sneered, "You want your sister to be the crown princess."

Dongqin advised: "Your Majesty, don't be angry with this concubine. She is from a small family, what does she know?"

"I am the daughter of the Prime Minister. I founded the Song Dynasty together with His Majesty. Zheng Eying has no roots or origins, and she also wants to be the mother of the country? Humph!"

Dongqin continued to fan the queen.

In a few days, there will be a family banquet in the palace. The ancients were bored all day long and had no mobile phones or televisions, so they liked to hold a banquet from time to time. Tang Bingxuan was also happy, because in this way, she could enjoy the delicacies prepared by the imperial chef.

Zheng Youlian was not qualified to attend this time, but Zheng Eying came. The prince said so. However, this palace banquet was hosted by the Queen. There were no princes, only beautiful girls. Three women made a big show, and these thirty people made it really lively.

"Come here, bring up the camel hoof soup that was tributed from the Western Regions and share it among everyone," the queen ordered.

A lady said, "Oh, the Queen is really considerate. She shared such a precious food as camel hoof soup, which is also a tribute, with us women."

Tang Bingxuan had eaten camel hoof soup once in modern times, and it was nothing special. On the contrary, it was very greasy. It was impossible that these ladies had never eaten it before. They were just flattering her.

"Today there is no distinction between high and low, everyone can enjoy the feast." The queen said with great momentum. "Yes, your Majesty."

The camel hoof soup in front of Tang Bingxuan was untouched. Tang Bingxuan really couldn't stand the taste. Zheng Eying was sitting behind Tang Bingxuan. She looked innocent and said, "Madam, why don't you eat the camel hoof soup?"

In one sentence, she attracted everyone's attention. She was really a little white lotus taught by a big white lotus. "Third sister, if you like it, I will give you all the camel hoof soup."

After Tang Bingxuan finished speaking, the lady of the Rongguo Mansion laughed and said, "Fifth Madam, you are used to eating ordinary meals, and you really can't get used to the camel hoof soup."

"No, madam, you are joking. It's just that the camel hoof soup has a strong taste and I don't like it." Tang Bingxuan said neither humbly nor arrogantly. Her aura suppressed the person who had been the lady for twenty years. The wife of the Duke curled her lips.

Xu Fanshu was about to say something for Tang Bingxuan when the Queen picked up the camel hoof soup with her silver chopsticks and said, "Everyone has their own preferences. Why bother arguing? I like this camel hoof soup. Every time the Emperor receives tribute, he shares it with me. But this year, I really don't want to keep it all to myself, so I'll share it with everyone."

"The Queen is blessed with great fortune and is much loved by the Emperor. I, your concubine, would like to offer a glass to the Queen." Lady Yuguogong stood up and said with a smile, and the Queen drank a glass.

Everyone praised the delicious camel hoof soup and secretly mocked Tang Bingxuan for not knowing how to enjoy it. Xu Fanshu cleared his throat and said with a smile: "Since Miss Zheng Eying likes camel hoof soup, why don't I give you both my and Madam Gaoming's soup? You must eat them all and don't let Madam Wu and I down."

As they were talking, Xu Fanshu's maid had already placed camel hoof soup on Zheng Eying's table. Zheng Eying felt sick after seeing so many camel hoof soups. In fact, she didn't like camel hoof soups, but she just wanted to curry favor with the queen. It was greasy and anyone who wanted to eat it could eat it. "Ah, how can a servant take food from the general's wife? A servant dare not."

Zhichun also brought Tang Bingxuan's camel hoof soup to her table, "Miss Zheng, please don't be polite. When you lived in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, our lady noticed that you liked to eat this kind of expensive food. Have you forgotten that when you lived in the Fifth Prince's Mansion, you ate a lot of abalone, shark's fin, sea cucumber, bird's nest, and other good things. This camel hoof soup is expensive, you should try it."

"Well, thank you, ma'am." Zheng Eying said gritting her teeth. Three servings of camel hoof soup would kill her.

Zheng Eying unconsciously looked at the Queen, asking for help. The Queen looked away, saying that with this fighting spirit, she also wanted to be the Crown Princess.

"Although camel hoof soup is delicious, it is bad for girls to eat too much. Let's eat our own."

Xu Fanshu smiled and said, "Yes, Queen."

Looking at Zheng Eying with a smile, Zheng Eying, a small fry of low status, could only be angry.

A self-righteous lady of noble birth looked down upon Tang Bingxuan, a commoner who had become a member of the royal family. This lady was the wife of a marquis and the daughter of a second-rank official. After spending most of her life in the royal family, she could only be a royal relative, not a member of the royal family. How could Tang Bingxuan take this title?

At this moment, she said sourly: "I didn't expect that she is so ignorant of the rules and sharp-tongued. How about you perform a show for us?" After that, she sent a wink to her good sister. The good sister of the wife of the Hou Mansion continued: "What's the point of a show? I heard that the fifth wife opened a cold drink shop. The maids and servants in our house like to eat it very much. Can the wife make it? When can you come to my house and make one for me?"

Tang Bingxuan's face changed: "Madam, you are joking. I didn't say it."

"Madam, why do you have to be so modest? The guys in your shop have all said that it was you who opened it." The lady was a quick-talker. She quickly covered her mouth after she finished speaking. Tang Bingxuan raised her eyebrows. At this time, the queen said, "Madam Guohou is talking nonsense again after drinking. The fifth lady is my daughter-in-law. How could she do such a thing as selling pulp?" She looked at Tang Bingxuan meaningfully.

"Yes, Queen, I admit my guilt."

Tang Bingxuan raised her glass to drink. It seemed that she had to clear out the traitor. The wife of the Hou Mansion, who looked down on Tang Bingxuan, sneered, "I hope the Fifth Madam won't do something that would embarrass the royal family. Come, Fifth Madam, I'll toast you a glass. If you don't recognize this nectar, I can tell you."
