While the ladies were talking, the maids had already started to distribute the black fish meat to everyone's bowls and plates.
The black fish fillets are boneless and melt in your mouth, with an extremely delicious taste.
"The chef in the Qin Palace is truly amazing. I have never eaten such delicious black fish before."
Madam Qi's eyes narrowed into crescents with joy. If she had not been concerned about her status, she would have filled a bowl with black fish meat and devoured it.
"Madam Qi likes it. I'll have someone send two big black fish over later. Just tell the chef and they'll be able to cook it."
"Thank you, Princess Qin."
After Ye Jintang said this, Mrs. Qi also understood that the reason why the black fish with scallion oil was so delicious was because of the good quality of the fish.
After tasting the black fish with scallion oil, the other ladies also praised it highly.
Don’t underestimate this ordinary dish of black fish with scallion oil. The one cooked by Ye Jintang is better than the one cooked by the imperial chef in the palace.
The ladies on both sides of Ye Yanran were eating black fish with scallion oil. The delicious smell kept drilling into her nostrils, making her even hungrier.
Her stomach was growling with hunger, but the others were eating happily. Ye Yanran sat there feeling uncomfortable.
Then a few more dishes were served, all of which tasted excellent and the ladies could not find any fault with them.
As for Ye Yanran's previous thought that the food in Prince Qin's Mansion was not fresh, that did not happen.
Ye Yanran felt that it was boring to stay any longer, so she stood up and prepared to leave.
"Sister, I'm not feeling well today, so I'm leaving first."
"Then I won't keep you here any longer, sister. When you are free, come to the Prince Qin's Mansion to talk to me. I am the only master in the huge backyard of the palace, and I really want to find a few people to talk with me."
Ye Jintang's words were heartbreaking.
Both of them married into the prince's palace. Not long after Ye Jintang came to the Prince Qin's Palace, Xiao Mo dismissed all the beauties in the backyard.
Not only did Xiao Yi not dismiss the concubines in the backyard because of the arrival of Ye Yanran, he even seemed to be making things worse.
While Ye Yanran was pregnant, he had several more beauties around him.
The backyard of Prince Qi's mansion was bustling with flowers in full bloom.
If it weren't for the sake of face, Ye Yanran would have killed all those charming women long ago.
Now that Ye Jintang brought up this matter in front of so many ladies, it was like a direct blow to her lungs, and she couldn't get angry.
"Okay, I'll come and chat with my sister some other day."
Ye Yanran almost gritted her teeth when she said this. She turned around and left without saying anything else, without even saying a few polite words to the other ladies.
Looking at her leaving back, Ye Jintang raised his eyebrows slightly, looking calm. She was still a little naive to play tricks on her.
She wanted to take advantage of Linjiangyan to make things difficult for him, and she was showing mercy by not making her give birth prematurely.
Ye Yanran's departure did not attract anyone else's attention. At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the dishes.
After eating the black fish, the following dishes were also quite surprising.
Seeing that the ladies liked black fish with scallion oil, Ye Jintang immediately asked the kitchen to prepare a black fish dish.
In addition to delicious food, Ye Jintang also prepared wonderful songs and dances.
Several small boats came over from the lotus pond outside the water pavilion, and a water stage was set up in a short while.
Young girls and boys were dancing briskly, and singers were singing cheerful songs.
The Qin Palace, which had been shrouded in gloom, was torn open by Ye Jintang, allowing the sunlight to fall on the glazed tiles of the courtyard.
Before today, almost everyone was not optimistic about the Riverside Banquet hosted by Ye Jintang, but she held it anyway, and it was extremely lively.
Even among the banquets hosted by kings and princes, the standard of the Riverside Banquet she hosted was absolutely high enough that no one could find any fault with it.
Everything about the banquet was reported to Imperial Noble Consort Dehui as soon as possible.
"Madam Hua, go check where the Princess of Qin got the money to be able to afford Yuezhou colored glaze porcelain."
Noble Consort Dehui knew the Qin Palace's treasury best. Not only was there little silver on the books, but even the emperor's rewards in previous years were mostly antiques, calligraphy and paintings.
As for expensive utensils, she had absolutely none. Occasionally having a few vases was already a sign of her kindness.
"Your Highness, I have already made inquiries. Almost all the utensils used in the Linjiang Banquet came from the private vault of the Princess of Qin. It seems that the King of Qin only took the money for the meat and vegetables for the banquet."
Noble Consort Dehui, who was sitting in front of a bronze mirror checking her makeup, suddenly turned her head to look at Nanny Hua.
"What did you say? All the utensils for the Linjiang Banquet came from Ye Jintang's private vault. How is this possible? She is just an orphan from the Ye family. Her dowry is all inflated. How could she possibly come up with so many expensive utensils?"
Consort Dehui investigated Ye Jintang's background very carefully. She knew that Ye Jintang had nothing, so she agreed to let her marry Xiao Mo. If she knew that Ye Jintang had money, she would never agree to this marriage.
"My queen, is it possible that Ye Jintang's parents left her some property before they died? Ye Li has been the governor of Yuezhou City for more than ten years. It is impossible that he has no assets at all."
"It's said that Ye Li was murdered, and later his family property was taken away by a swindler."
"That was just Ye Jintang's one-sided statement. She didn't say how she was cheated out of the money. Everyone felt that she was a young girl from the inner house and was probably frightened by the sudden change in family affairs. That's why she didn't know the whereabouts of the family property."
"But in fact, Ye Jintang has already taken control of all the Ye family's assets, but he just doesn't let anyone know."
"Your Majesty, please don't forget that the finest tableware Ye Jintang used today is Yuezhou colored glaze."
Nanny Hua is indeed an old lady who has been in the palace for many years. She has an extremely active mind and she can see through Ye Jintang's tricks just through a banquet by the river.
"It seems that I underestimated this witch Ye Jintang. She is so young, but she has so many tricks. She secretly took away the family property from Ye Li, and the Ye family didn't know about it at all."
Noble Consort Dehui sneered, her heart chilled. She had already decided to kill Ye Jintang.
No matter who it is, anyone who dares to help Xiao Mo will die.
"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry too much about Ye Jintang. Princess Qi also attended the Linjiang Banquet today. I heard that she left without eating a single bite of food."
"Princess Qi and Ye Jintang didn't get along before she got married, and it was Madam Gan who prepared Ye Jintang's dowry."
"If Madam Gan and Princess Qi knew that Ye Jintang had money and cheated them out of their dowries, they would hate her to death."
"Your Majesty won't have to do anything then. Princess Qi will be able to make Ye Jintang suffer. Your Majesty will just have to sit back and watch the fight."
After hearing what Nanny Hua said, Noble Consort Dehui was no longer so angry.
During this period of time, Ye Yanran has been trying to sow discord between them as mother and son, making her very busy and exhausted. It is a good opportunity to take advantage of this incident to keep Ye Yanran busy for a while and not have to stare at Xiao Mo all day long.
