Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

Whenever Ye Jintang attended a banquet, some people felt that she was not following the rules. Now, Xiao Mo directly asked her to participate in politics, and all the officials present were dumbfounded.

Including Mr. Wei and Niu Zhengye, they all looked incredulous.

Even Ye Jintang was shocked, because Xiao Mo had never mentioned to her that he wanted her to participate in politics.

"Why do you want to object? Before you object, think about Imperial Noble Consort Dehui first. Hasn't the Imperial Noble Consort always been helping the Emperor handle state affairs? Why can't she do the same for me?"

Xiao Mo pushed Imperial Noble Consort Dehui in front of the crowd. He wanted to see how they could refuse.

"Your Highness, please think twice. Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is a person of great talent, but the Princess is still too young. If you allow her to participate in government affairs, if she makes a wrong decision, the people of Liming will suffer."

"Well, today I am here to inform you, not to discuss with you. If any of you feel that this matter is inappropriate, you can resign. I will not stop you."

Xiao Mo's words were extremely firm and everyone present fell silent. Hua Cailiang lowered his eyes. What else could he say now that things had come to this?

He couldn't confront Xiao Mo head-on in front of everyone.

At this moment, Hua Cailiang wanted to slap Xiao Mo to death. Was he out of his mind, bewitched by Ye Jintang's beauty, and that's why he let her participate in politics?

If this really happened, the Danyang Marquisate would fight to the death to protect Xiao Mo. No, he decided that he could not let this matter become a foregone conclusion. He must alienate the two of them as soon as possible. As long as they quarreled among themselves, he would not need to do anything. In the end, the matter of letting Ye Jintang participate in politics would end up in nothing.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xiao Mo said no more.

The banquet finally began, and the maids came in one after another holding wooden trays and brought the delicious dishes that had been prepared long ago to the table one by one.

Hua Cailiang, who was very angry just now, was just looking for trouble with Xiao Mo through the dishes, but the first dish turned out to be cold bean sprouts.

Bean sprouts are a rare commodity in Ningchuan City. Even high-ranking officials may not be able to eat them every day.

Xiao Mo directly made such a precious dish into a cold dish and served it on the table. Hua Cailiang didn't know what to say.

Then, one dish after another was served. He had a lot of words to say to mock Xiao Mo, but he didn't say a word.

There were 4 cold dishes, 8 hot dishes, and 2 soups, with dishes accounting for more than half of the total. A banquet of this standard could definitely be considered a luxurious banquet in Ningchuan City.

In particular, among the 8 hot dishes, there was a large plate of stir-fried vegetables, which did not contain radishes and cabbages, but a lot of green leafy vegetables.

The entire Ningchuan Province was covered in snow. Cabbages and radishes were extremely precious, not to mention green leafy vegetables, which he had hardly seen in winter.

But today, Xiao Mo, who had just arrived in Ningchuan City for the second day, put the green leafy vegetables in front of him.

The last dish served was Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. Hua Cailiang had eaten this dish before in the capital. The cheapest small bowl cost two taels of silver, and the more expensive ones were said to cost dozens or even hundreds of taels.

Looking at the fragrant abalone in the soup bowl, Hua Cailiang's face was as ugly as it could be.

He couldn't find any fault with today's banquet.

"I wonder if today's dishes are to your liking."

Xiao Mo put down his chopsticks proudly and looked at everyone.

"Every dish at the banquet is extremely amazing. There is one thing I don't understand, and I wonder if Your Highness can tell me." Old Master Wei looked at Xiao Mo with a smile. He was very satisfied with the meal just now.

"what's up?"

"We rarely have green leafy vegetables in Ningchuan City in winter. I don't know where the prince bought them. I want to buy some too. I have been eating cabbage and radishes all day long. After a whole winter, my legs are weak from eating so much."

When everyone heard what Grandpa Wei said, they couldn't help but laugh softly. It was not just Grandpa Wei who had had enough of the radishes and cabbages, they were the same.

"I really didn't know this. Everything at the banquet was arranged by the princess alone."

As he spoke, Xiao Mo looked at Ye Jintang. In fact, he was quite curious as to where Ye Jintang got so many vegetables.

"Master Wei, this matter is a secret. If you want some greens, I'll send some to your house later."

"Okay, I would like to thank you, Madam."

Since Ye Jintang didn't want to talk about it, Mr. Wei didn't ask any more questions. The others present were also full of curiosity, and they wanted to find out where the vegetables in the Qin Palace came from.

Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo stole the limelight at the banquet, which made Hua Cailiang very unhappy.

"We have such delicious food today, why not have a martial arts competition to liven up the atmosphere."

Ke Wenhai quickly added, "Lord City Lord, I heard that you recently got a martial arts genius named Duan Qi. Do you want him to perform for us?"

"It's boring to show off one's sword alone. Why don't you send a guard to fight Duan Qi casually?"

Xiao Mo knew best what Hua Cailiang was planning. Xiao Mo didn't let him suffer any loss at the banquet today, so he must be very angry and wanted to save face in the competition.

He was determined that there was no martial arts master around Xiao Mo.

Duan Qi was invited soon.

Xiao Mo lowered his voice and whispered in Ye Jintang's ear, "No wonder Hua Cailiang brought up the martial arts competition. Duan Qi's kung fu is not weak. Even if I were not injured, it would not be so easy to beat him."

"I don't know if Shi Bin can do it."

"It has been a long time since Your Majesty last competed with General Shi."

"Eh? Ever since my leg was injured, Shi Bin and I have only fought to a certain extent. We have never had a serious fight. But the last time I saw him fighting in the South Camp, his Kung Fu was only a little bit better than before."

"Your Highness can take a closer look later to see if General Shi is much stronger than before."

Ever since the last martial arts competition in the South Camp, Liuli heard that Shi Bin had been injured on the battlefield and had many hidden illnesses left, so she helped Shi Bin to recuperate in both overt and covert ways.

Shi Bin had no idea how many strengthening pills and health-preserving pills he had taken, which were just made with spring water.

He was usually very hardworking and he did not forget to practice sword skills even when he was trapped in the snow for several days.

With the help of Quanshui and hard work, Shi Bin's kung fu has improved by leaps and bounds in the past six months.

"Your Majesty, please let me go meet Duan Qi."

"Well, I heard that General Shi's Kung Fu has improved a lot recently, so today is a good opportunity for me to see it for myself."

Shi Bin stood up and strode towards the center of the banquet.

When Ye Jintang was preparing for the banquet, he had not thought that anyone would compete here, so naturally he did not prepare a spacious venue.

Shi Bin picked up the teacup on the table and drew a circle on the ground with the tea.

"We will compete in the circle. Whoever falls out of the circle first loses. If the winner is not decided before the tea dries up, I lose."

"it is good."

Duan Qi agreed readily, saluted towards Shi Bin, and walked into the circle first.

Both of them are good at martial arts and they kill each other as soon as they meet.

There was a continuous sound of fists hitting the body, and even Ye Jintang, a bystander, felt a sharp pain in his flesh.
