The concubine's graceful phoenix comes to the world

Chapter 142 The three-person confrontation (1)
In Yuxiu Palace, Ye Lingxin sat on the main seat and looked at Zhou Yimeng and Lin Zixuan sitting next to her. This condescending feeling was really good. She seemed to be able to see herself sitting on the queen's phoenix chair, with the All the concubines knelt at the soles of their feet to greet her.Whether it was Zhou Yimeng, the favorite child of the former empress, Lin Zixuan, the daughter of Prime Minister Lin, who was in power, or Ming Zhaoyi, Shangguanrou, the emperor's favorite, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, looking so humble.

Seeing the obsessive look in Ye Lingxin's eyes, Zhou Yimeng curled up a sarcastic smile, hum, although she didn't know what this woman was thinking, it must be something bad, Zhou Yimeng interrupted Ye Lingxin's thoughts.

"Sister Ye Concubine, what are the arrangements for the banquet this time? What are your thoughts? Will the fresh fruits be transported from the south this time?"

Zhou Yimeng would never call Ye Lingxin Empress Ye Concubine, but always called her Sister Ye Concubine.From Zhou Yimeng's point of view, if she called Ye Lingxin "Ms. Ye Concubine", it would be showing weakness to Ye Lingxin in a disguised form. For Zhou Yimeng, who had always been strong, it would make her feel worse than killing her.

Lin Zixuan glanced at Zhou Yimeng, and saw a smug look in Zhou Yimeng's eyes, she was a little uncertain about what Zhou Yimeng was thinking this week.

The capital city of the Ziyuan Dynasty was in a relatively northerly place, and the weather was relatively cold. In winter, there were almost no seasonal fruits. Generally, rich and noble families would spend a lot of money to transport them from the south, but when they were transported, they would not be available. It is not so fresh, but it is also very rare in winter.

In previous years, she had also heard from her father that whenever a banquet was held during the New Year, the Ministry of Internal Affairs would spend a large sum of money to transport some seasonal fruits from the south and use them for preservation.I don't know why Meng Zhaoyi would bring up such a question at this time, could it be that there is something inside that she doesn't know?Lin Zixuan pretended not to care on the surface, but actually paid close attention to the conversation between the two.

"Sister Meng Zhaoyi, what are you talking about? Didn't you have to bring back fruits from the south in previous years? If there were no fruits brought back from the south at this banquet, what would it be like? What's more, this year is a bumper harvest This is the best year in all aspects since the emperor ascended the throne. How can we not celebrate well? The more prosperous we hold, the more we can show the emperor's satisfaction with his courtiers, and let the courtiers appreciate The emperor is even more loyal, so my sister doesn't even know about this. Oh, by the way, it's the first time for Meng Zhaoyi to participate in these events this year, so naturally she doesn't know what to do. Sister, it doesn't matter, what's wrong with you? If you understand, just ask my sister, she will know everything and talk endlessly. After all, the three of us co-organized this banquet. If there is any loss due to my sister's negligence, and the emperor loses face, the emperor will not I will blame my sister alone for the crime, and my sister Lin and I will also be jointly and severally responsible."

Ye Lingxin changed the subject, seemed to have thought of something, and continued to say with a look of sudden realization: "By the way, I remember that the family background of Mengmei's family is not very good. In the past, Mengmei's parents could only meet at banquets. Taste the rare fruit this winter. Is it possible that sister Meng’s family has made a fortune this year and doesn’t care about this banquet? It’s wrong for sister Meng to do this. She doesn’t care if her parents can eat it at the banquet Fruits, but there are still many families who don't make a lot of money like Sister Meng, hoping to enjoy the blessing of this year's banquet."
