Chapter 106 Exploitation
"Did the invitation to Zhanjiang Palace say a specific time?" Xia Lan asked.

Feng Yang frowned. Normally, the invitation would clearly indicate the time, but this time the invitation to Zhanjiang Prince's Mansion only expressed the meaning of invitation, but did not indicate the specific time.

After all, Feng Yang is a native of Dongxu. The practice of the four-nation martial arts competition has a history of one hundred years. It is held every three years by default.

On the contrary, the invitation from Zhanjiang Prince’s Mansion stated that it was to raise funds for the martial arts tournament, so preparations must be made in advance. It’s already May, and there are still three months left. If it’s so urgent, then the banquet at Zhanjiang Prince’s Mansion will naturally not How long will it be delayed.

However, every share of Qingfu's property is earned through hard work, Feng Yang is unwilling to rush to send it out, "I guess it won't be long, I will go to Chen's and Zhao's residences tomorrow to find out the news, although They are competitors, but for this kind of money-drawing event, the Big Three in Linzhou Prefecture are still on the same front.”

Xia Lan knew what he meant, if a family of Qingfu went late, it would be a neglect, if the three families were together, there is nothing wrong with it, only when the family's money is crazy will they actively send it out.

On the second day, Feng Yang came back from the outside and brought two pieces of news to Xia Lan.

One is that the Chen House and the Zhao House have already agreed to leave for the capital five days later, which is also within Xia Lan's expectation.

Another piece of news that wasn't so good.Emperor Yuanning actually issued an order to "donate funds", and only then did he receive an invitation from Zhanjiang Prince's Mansion to raise funds for the martial arts competition, and then he wanted to "donate funds".

What is ironic is that the reason for this donation is actually for a favorite concubine.

There have long been rumors in the market that Emperor Yuanning brought a singing girl into the harem in the brothel last year, and even made him a concubine. This is considered a royal secret.

The so-called "donation" this time was proposed by the favorite concubine of the whorehouse prostitute who had sealed the concubine. The reason was that the three-year martial arts competition happened to be the first time that Emperor Yuanning held such a large-scale competition after he ascended the throne. The Four Kingdoms Association cannot lose the face of Dongxu Country.

And this favorite concubine's suggestion was extremely strange, asking rich private businessmen to donate together to expand a treasure hall in the palace as a place for the envoys of the other three countries to stay after they came to Dongxu.It is also required that the Palace of Treasures should be rich and luxurious to show the wealth and strength of Dongxu Kingdom, and then recruit beautiful women from all over the country as maidservants, arrange handsome eunuchs, and strong imperial guards to show the abundance of talents in Dongxu Kingdom.

Then build a treasure-colored building in the Hall of Treasures, and place dozens of beautiful women to win over envoys from various countries.

After listening to Feng Yang's words, Xia Lan was angry and angry, and she couldn't laugh or cry. This beloved concubine is really weird. She even thought of building the so-called Baocai Tower, and put some gorgeous girls in the majestic Dongxu Palace. Leaving a place with the same meaning as a brothel, and putting on the name of wooing envoys really lost all the prestige of Dongxu Kingdom.

What's even more frightening is that Emperor Yuanning issued an order in accordance with the wishes of the favorite concubine, and he was extremely confused.

Xia Lan felt that she was really speechless. Emperor Yuanning was definitely not stupid to sit on the throne, but this time he was bewitched by the demon concubine and let him go, and he saw that his mind was unstable.

Deceitful and debauched, self-willed, full of suspicions, Emperor Yuanning was able to ascend to the throne, it was simply because he concealed his skills too well when he was the prince.
