Chapter 342 Venomous Tongue
Ye Jintang changed her clothes again and asked Liuli, only then did she know that Madam Yang had caused her a lot of trouble at the Winter Banquet. Although the Winter Banquet seemed peaceful on the surface, secretly things were already turbulent.
"There were several times when Madam Yang made me speechless, and it was always Madam Hu, the mistress of the Wei family, who helped me out."
"Well, it seems that the Wei family is completely on our side."
After changing her clothes, Ye Jintang returned to the Winter Solstice Banquet with a smile on her face. She looked specifically at Madam Yang and Madam Ren, and smiled at them happily.
After clearing out the Hua family's warehouse and basement tonight, she would be able to laugh even if Madam Yang yelled at her.
That's hundreds of millions of taels of silver. No matter who gets it, he will probably wake up laughing in his sleep.
"Your Majesty is really busy. Just for the Winter Solstice Banquet, Your Majesty went out to change clothes twice."
Mrs. Yang would criticize Ye Jintang for every little thing.
"Fortunately, I can't tolerate any injustice. The clothes I wore just now were uncomfortable, so I changed them immediately and I won't let myself suffer."
As soon as Ye Jintang opened his mouth, his words were full of thorns, which made Mrs. Yang very unhappy.
Madam Yang has been in charge of the Hua family for many years and is very familiar with the twists and turns in the backyard.
Ye Jintang was young and thin-skinned, so she knew best what kind of words would embarrass her.
"Your Highness and the Prince have been married for more than half a year. The Prince has no maids or concubines around him, only your Highness. It's really not right that your Highness hasn't gotten pregnant in such a long time."
"I know a doctor in the city who specializes in treating women's illnesses. Her medical skills are very good. Your Majesty, why don't you let this doctor take a look? If there is really something wrong with your body, it will be better for you to get treated as soon as possible so that you can have more children for the prince."
In front of so many ladies, Madam Yang said this to Ye Jintang, implicitly mocking her for being the only one who could dominate the prince but couldn't even have a child.
If it were another girl, after being told this by Madam Yang, she would probably just blush with shame and be unable to say anything.
It’s a pity that Ye Jintang is not a little girl.
"Alas, this princess is naturally not as powerful as Madam Yang. I heard that Madam Yang gave City Lord Hua more than 20 concubines to keep in the backyard, and there are also those maids who are not in the same room, and there is no telling how many of them have no status. This princess really cannot learn to be as magnanimous as Madam Yang."
"With so many concubines and illegitimate children, the monthly expenses of the harem are usually more than the monthly expenses of our palace. It is really hard for Madam Yang to manage such a large family."
"I'm used to a quiet life on weekdays, but I can't stand a yard full of beautiful girls."
Ye Jintang said with a smile on his face the words that poked Mrs. Yang in the lungs.
This is what she is best at. When she was in the Danyang Marquis' Mansion, Old Madam Ye was often angered by her.
Mrs. Yang, who was sitting below, never expected Ye Jintang to say this. She just felt suffocated and anxious.
She was always the one who argued with others, but this was the first time someone had argued with her directly in the face.
Without waiting for Madam Yang to speak, Ye Jintang continued, "In the future, I will learn more from Madam Yang and persuade the prince to take in more concubines."
"I don't know if the prince will agree. I have mentioned this to him before, but he just disagreed. He said he just wanted to stay with me for the rest of his life. Oh, I am so distressed."
Looking at Ye Jintang's smug look, Mrs. Yang almost died of depression.
The group of beautiful girls in Hua Cailiang's backyard have always been a thorn in her heart. Today, Ye Jintang exposed them to the world. Madam Yang wished she could go up and tear Ye Jintang apart with her bare hands.
She was really talking about things that were not related to the topic. Every word she said could make her so angry that she would explode on the spot.
When Mrs. Ren saw that Mrs. Yang was being humiliated, she quickly came out to smooth things over and tried to put the matter behind her.
Ye Jintang continued, "I heard that the girls of the Ke family are all beautiful women. Madam Ren, I wonder if there are any girls of marriageable age in your family. I am the only one in the palace, and I also want to have more sisters. I would have someone to talk to and would not feel bored."
"If Madam Ren has a suitable candidate, why not bring her to the palace? As long as the prince is interested, it would be fine to give her the position of concubine."
Ye Jintang's words made Mrs. Ren stop laughing.
Everyone knows that the Ke family and the Hua family are tied together. Now that Ye Jintang said this, what would Madam Yang think?
If she agreed, Madam Yang would probably turn against her. However, if the Ke family could send a concubine to the palace as a concubine, everyone in Ningchuan City would give them some face. As the legitimate mother, it would be no problem for her to be on an equal footing with Madam Yang in the future.
If she didn't agree, everyone present would feel that the Ke family was acting like a big shot and didn't even want the position of concubine in the Prince of Qin's mansion.
On the one hand, it was about offending Madam Yang, and on the other hand, it was about gaining a good future for the Ke family. The balance in Madam Ren's heart was clearly tilted towards Ye Jintang.
Looking at Mrs. Ren's conflicted look, Ye Jintang felt very amused.
As expected, human nature is the thing that cannot withstand the test. As long as she promised a little benefit, the sisterhood between Mrs. Ren and Mrs. Yang collapsed in an instant.
After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Ren did not express her opinion in public. She only vaguely said that she would go back and discuss it with Ke Wenhai before making a decision.
On Xiao Mo's side, Hua Cailiang had been targeting Xiao Mo because of the scale of the heaven sacrifice. During the winter solstice banquet, there was a lot of swordplay.
However, thinking that the City Lord's Mansion had been emptied by Ye Jintang, he kept smiling even though Hua Cailiang's words were harsh.
The last item of the winter solstice heaven worship is to light blessing lanterns.
Xiao Mo and Ye Jintang took the fire starter and lit the wick together. The prayer lamp filled with scriptures slowly rose into the sky. Looking at the prayer lamp flying into the night sky, Xiao Mo secretly made a wish in his heart, hoping that every year during the winter solstice, he could light the prayer lamp with Ye Jintang.
The lively day-long winter solstice worship activities finally came to an end. Ye Jintang, who was very tired, leaned softly on the soft pillow of the Luohan bed as soon as he returned to the room.
"Oh my god, I'm so tired. After a day of hard work, I'm going to lose ten pounds."
As she said this, she pulled out the gold hairpins from her bun. Although there were only a few of them, each one was very heavy. After wearing them for a long time, she felt her neck was sore.
"My lady, let me massage your shoulders."
Seeing that Ye Jintang was really tired, Luzhu went forward to help massage her sore shoulders.
"it is good."
Ye Jintang was so tired that he didn't want to move at all.
"Lüzhu, I'm going to take a bath in a while. Take a nice hot bath."
Luzhu did not agree immediately. Instead, she massaged her shoulders with greater strength. Ye Jintang turned her head and saw Xiao Mo standing beside the Luohan bed.
"Why is Your Majesty here? I think your legs are uncomfortable after a long day."
Xiao Mo's legs were not fully healed, and he spent most of the day sitting in a wheelchair. However, when performing the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven, he did not slack off at all and performed all the necessary etiquette.
Later they went to Hua's house together. Xiao Mo used a cane to facilitate movement. It can be said that Xiao Mo was more tired than her at the end of the day.
But now he seemed to be in very good spirits and was in the mood to give her a shoulder massage.
"Fortunately, I've been using crutches tonight and I don't feel any discomfort."
