After marrying the vegetative prince, the doctor concubine killed people randomly
Chapter 91: Cutting down on expenses, everyone becomes a vegetarian
Ji Qingqing's eyes were deep and a scornful smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Are you hungry, sister? The chefs in the imperial kitchen of the palace are the best cooks in Dongchen Country. Even if they need to cook, they should be the ones to do it. Why do you, a princess, need to do it yourself?"
"If this gets out, people who don't know will think that the Emperor and the Empress mistreat you and don't let you eat!"
As soon as Ji Qingqing said this, the Queen's face instantly turned dark.
But she didn't notice it, and continued to talk to herself: "Could it be that my sister still needs to cook for me every day in the Night King's Mansion?"
"This is what the servants in the mansion should do. The masters should naturally discipline them strictly. Don't they listen to my sister?"
"Oh! I've said too much, sister. Please don't be angry and don't hold it against me." Ji Qingqing covered her mouth pretentiously, as if she had realized something belatedly.
Her sarcastic words made Taozhi behind Ji Yuntang change her expression.
When Miss Ji said this, it was clear that she wanted to tell everyone that their princess couldn't even discipline the servants in the night palace.
In other words, Ji Yuntang is not even as good as a servant in Prince Ye's Mansion and has to act according to the servants' wishes.
To put it more broadly, Ji Yuntang is not qualified to be the mistress of the Night Prince's Mansion. She is stepping Ji Yuntang into a mud pit and degrading her to worthless status.
Ji Huaiche opened his mouth. He had many opportunities to stop Ji Qingqing, but he didn't.
Ji Qingqing has a strong personality. When she meets a strong person, she will act stronger than others.
Ji Qingqing had been offended by Ji Yuntang time and again. If she didn't vent her anger, Ji Huaiche was afraid that she would get sick again.
By then, his father, mother and his two younger brothers would probably be distressed again and blame him for not taking good care of Ji Qingqing at the palace banquet.
Anyway, it was just to satisfy his urge to talk, so Ji Huaiche just let her go.
Ji Yuntang sneered with disdain, but did not indulge Ji Qingqing.
"It seems that my sister has the best food, clothing and daily necessities in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion. This really makes me envious. Then you and your brother should not eat the dishes I cook later. I am afraid that it will taint your two noble stinky mouths."
Ji Qingqing: "..."
Ji Huaiche: "..."
He didn't expect that he would see something similar happen to him while watching a play. Ji Yuntang actually dared to insult them in public! ?
Ji Huaiche was furious, he slammed the table and stood up, "Princess Ye, you are so brave!"
"The Emperor and the Empress are still here. How dare you insult the imperial officials in public? What crime should you be punished for?"
He no longer taught Ji Yuntang a lesson as an elder brother, but directly positioned himself as an official appointed by the imperial court.
In this way, the Emperor and the Empress will definitely make the decision for him and Ji Qingqing!
Ji Huaiche felt that he was extremely smart. Even if he couldn't deal with Ji Yuntang, there would always be someone here who could deal with her.
Emperor Jingyang didn't want to get involved in this matter, but there were many ministers present, and he had to consider the face of his ministers, so he spoke coldly.
"Princess Ye, why did you insult Prince Ji and Miss Ji Er? Aren't you a little too arrogant?"
Ji Yuntang sneered in his heart, but said respectfully on the surface: "In reply to the emperor, I did not insult Prince Ji and Miss Ji Er. They are the ones who made a fuss out of nothing."
"I grew up in the countryside and never had a life of luxury. I only know that every grain of rice on the plate is the result of hard work. People die for money, and birds die for food. Food is the most important thing for people. I don't think that cooking for everyone is a talent that I can't show off."
"Miss Ji II is holding on to this and belittling me everywhere. After all, I am the princess consort of His Royal Highness the Night King, who was personally married by the Emperor. When she belittles me, it is the same as belittling His Royal Highness the Night King, the Emperor, and the Empress. How can I not be angry?"
These words instantly reversed the situation.
Ji Qingqing was so angry that she didn't expect Ji Yuntang to be so eloquent. She couldn't find any reason to refute her.
Emperor Jingyang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that such reasonable words would come from the mouth of a woman.
In the areas under the jurisdiction of Dongchen State, some places suffered from severe natural disasters and famine every year. Some people could not even get enough food to eat, and countless people starved to death every year.
But what about inside the palace?
But they eat delicious food and wine every day, with lots of fish and meat, and all the food they can't finish is wasted.
After hearing Ji Yuntang’s words, Emperor Jingyang seemed to be suddenly enlightened and looked at her with admiration.
"Who knows that every grain of rice on the plate is the product of hard work? Princess Ye's words really hit the nail on the head."
He thought about it and made an important decision immediately.
"There is a serious waste in the palace. From today on, except for banquets and receptions, we will cut down on daily expenses. The dishes in the imperial kitchen will be reduced from eight dishes and one soup per meal to three dishes and one soup. Light vegetarian dishes will be the main focus. There will be no more than one meat dish per day. No more overeating of fish and meat."
"This also applies to the homes of ministers outside the palace. You can supervise each other. If anyone dares to waste food again, report it to the palace at any time. If you can prove that this is true, the minister who wasted food will be fined 3,000 taels of silver, and the reporter can go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to receive 1,000 taels of silver."
This decision shocked everyone present!
The emperor's words seemed to indicate that he was determined to cut down their expenses.
Some were happy and some were sad. Those who were sad cursed Ji Yuntang hundreds of times in their hearts.
It’s all Ji Yuntang’s fault for being such a bad-mouthed person. They used to enjoy a life of luxury, but now they have to eat vegetarian food every day.
They are not monks, who can bear to eat vegetarian food every day?
What's more, the vegetarian food prepared by the chef in the mansion doesn't taste very good.
Luo Jingshen is one of them. Although he is stingy with outsiders, he never treats himself badly. Even the daily meals in the East Palace are better than those eaten by the Emperor and the Empress.
How could Luo Feizhou miss this opportunity to ridicule him? He immediately raised his eyebrows and said sarcastically:
"I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eats a plate of braised lion's head and exquisite four-happiness meatballs every day. He can't sleep without them."
"It seems that you can't eat these two things every day in the future. After all, they are made of meat. Father has already spoken. If you continue to waste them, it will be a bit unreasonable."
Luo Jingshen's face darkened. He looked coldly at Luo Feizhou who was gloating over his misfortune, and his fists clenched and unclenched again.
"I don't need you to worry about what I eat, Fifth Brother. You should just take care of yourself."
Luo Jingshen had no doubt that if Luo Feizhou found out that he ate meat every meal, he would definitely report him to his father.
He just couldn't stand Luo Feizhou's smug look and he opposed him everywhere.
