Chapter 84 The Birthday Banquet Ends



There was a chair between them, which was very luxurious.

That was left for Ying Yuan.

Not long after.

Following the eunuch's announcement.

Ying Yuan really came here.

Except for the Queen Mother, everyone else stood up, bowed, and shouted "Long live Your Majesty."

The momentum is so grand that it is truly inspiring.

This is Ying Yuan’s appeal today.

He looked at Lü Zhi, smiled, bowed, and said, "I am late, and I hope your Majesty will forgive me."

Hearing this, the latter said sarcastically, "I dare not blame the Emperor of the Great Qin."

Ying Yuan nodded, looked at the various delicious dishes on the table in front of everyone, and said with a smile:

"Whatever you want to eat, tell the imperial chef. I will get it for you, no matter how much it costs, whether it flies in the sky or swims in the water."

The point is to spend money.

Lu Zhi's face suddenly turned a little ugly.

I was mocking him just now.

And he didn't respond at all.

What does this mean?

What he meant was that in his eyes, he was not worthy of being his opponent.

Should we take seriously the ridicule of someone who is not even worthy of being our opponent?

Immediately afterwards, he took the opportunity to win over the ministers to demonstrate his magnanimity.

It’s really good.

Ying Yuan didn’t think so much. His ultimate goal was just to spend money.

Suddenly, his eyes noticed Cai Wenji who was beside the Queen Mother.

His brows furrowed slightly.

A familiar feeling came over me again.

How come she is sitting next to the Queen Mother?

Could it be the Queen Mother's people?

At this moment, Cai Wenji wished she could find a table to hide in.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the conflict between the emperor and the empress dowager had escalated to a point where it was out of control.

But he was still sitting next to the Queen Mother.

I guess he must be extremely angry, right?

Cai Wenji felt guilty unconsciously.

If I had known this earlier, I would have found ways to reject the Queen Mother's kindness.

"We thank Your Majesty for your kindness."

As Ying Yuan's voice fell, all the civil and military officials began to bow and express their gratitude.

He waved his hand in an unusually generous manner.

Afterwards, he left here on the pretext of something.

If I stay here all the time, I'm afraid these ministers won't be able to eat and drink happily.

If they are unhappy, who will spend money?

Drink, they must be allowed to drink.

Treat them with the most expensive wine and the most expensive food.

After the emperor left.

Lu Zhi had no intention of staying here.

So, she left here on the pretext of feeling sleepy.

Lao Ai personally supported her.

When they arrived at the bed, Lü Zhi asked with a smile, "Have you taken care of the birthday gifts they sent?"

This year, the birthday gifts sent by ministers and nobles from all over the country are extremely generous.

Let’s not talk about anything else, just talk about the two night pearls that Qin Hui sent.

It is said that one of them is worth a fortune.

Even though the emperor made a small profit from the birthday banquet, at least he did not lose out.

Hearing this, Lao Ai looked embarrassed and didn't know how to answer this question.

Lu Zhi had some bad thoughts in her mind and frowned, saying, "Just say it if you have something to say."

Only then did Lao Ai speak frankly: "Queen Dowager, the birthday gifts they sent you have been carried to your Majesty's inner treasury by the Minister of Revenue and the Minister of Rites."

As soon as these words were spoken, Lu Zhi's head suddenly buzzed.

Almost fainted.

Seeing this, Lao Ai hurriedly supported him.

Lü Zhi was furious and said, "What a jerk Ying Yuan is! No wonder he was so calm and composed in the face of my ridicule just now!

So... so he actually had this trick up his sleeve! What a Ying Yuan! What a Ying Yuan! Not only did I get nothing from this birthday banquet, but I also got nothing.

Instead, he made a killing! I'm so pissed off, so pissed off!

It is not difficult to analyze from their conversation.

Ying Yuan not only did not lose money from the birthday party he organized with great effort, but he actually made a fortune by taking advantage of the donation controversy and the birthday gift incident.

The money donated should be donated to the national treasury.

Heshen, on his own initiative, moved all the birthday gifts to the inner treasury.

In other words, there is money in both the national treasury and the internal treasury.

Heshen, who was drinking in the hall, was still fantasizing about the scene where Ying Yuan would praise and reward him after knowing this.
