Jing Yuchen responded, "They use plague-related ingredients to make cakes, wine, clothing, and use medicinal plants to stick on doorways. They also perform certain dances, but that dance was just for fun."
The woman who had toasted them did not leave, but came to the side of the governors and served them personally...
The governors were a little nervous.
Jing Yuchen smiled and said, "Everyone, please remember the fragrance of the women around you. That is the scent that drives away the plague god!"
Miao Shouzheng, who had been sullen the entire time, was a little annoyed: "After being busy for months, the Regent is just preparing to release these things?"
Jing Yuchen looked aggrieved. "General Miao, I'm hosting a welcoming banquet for you all today, not a plague festival performance. Why are you so anxious, General Miao? Wait until the day of the festival banquet. If you have any questions, feel free to ask!"
Miao Shouzheng's face was gloomy and he didn't say anything. Jing Yuchen asked, "General Miao, don't you want to taste the cake in front of you?"
Miao Shouzheng still had a sullen face and said nothing. Jing Yuchen sighed and said, "How can you give me advice if you don't try? It seems that General Miao doesn't care much."
As he said this, he took the cake in front of him and took a bite.
Zou Yangyao raised a glass of wine and said, "Lord Regent, the specific steps for the Plague Festival will be demonstrated in three days. As colleagues in the court, we know nothing about it. Why don't you explain it to us so that we can cooperate?"
Jing Yuchen smiled faintly: "Cooperation is not necessary, but if you can persuade the Queen Mother to let the program I rehearsed be performed in front of her, I think that would be the greatest recognition of me."
The atmosphere was a bit dull and no one spoke.
"Why don't I see the Regent Princess today?" Shao Lecheng asked curiously.
"How can a woman be worthy of appearing in such a place?" Jing Yuchen smiled, and that smile seemed a little dandy.
"I heard that you, the Regent, are henpecked?" Shao Lecheng asked sarcastically, his eyes clearly showing that he was watching the fun.
Jing Yuchen was not angry, and responded calmly: "From what I have learned, you, the prince, are also henpecked."
One sentence made the atmosphere even more tense.
Zou Yangyao, standing by, spoke again: "Prince Regent, I see you have a good eye for selecting women. Each of these women is fair-skinned and beautiful, and I really want to hold them in my arms and cherish them. I wonder what the identities of these women are? Could you please give one to this general?"
Zou Yangyao's words expressed the thoughts of many people present: give rewards to others, take them away, and enjoy them.
"She's not a person of high status. She's just someone I chose from the brothel. If General Zou likes her, feel free to pick her!"
When Zou Yangyao heard this, he burst into laughter and seemed to be in a very good mood.
"The Regent is generous, so this general will not be polite!"
As he spoke, he pulled a woman to the side of a governor and held her in his arms.
The woman didn't refuse and fell directly into Zou Yangyao's arms, cursing: "How annoying!"
The governor was relieved that the woman was no longer around him, for he was afraid that the woman would become someone to monitor him after he took her back.
"If this is all you have to show, I won't keep you company!" With that, Miao Shouzheng stood up and prepared to leave.
Jing Yuchen did not stop him and said to the servant beside him: "Send it out, General Miao."
The servants came forward to see him off, but Miao Shouzheng did not refuse. He just left with a gloomy face.
Shao Lecheng chuckled: "This king also wants to choose a woman."
"The prince should not harm their daughter. Everyone knows the princess's temperament. Who will she accept?"
Shao Lecheng threw down his wine glass in dissatisfaction: "Those who are willing to follow me, come here!"
This is to let the women present choose him.
Everyone present looked at Shao Lecheng with an expression of watching a good show. Unexpectedly, a woman actually stood up and saluted Shao Lecheng respectfully: "Greetings, Prince. I wonder if the prince likes me?"
Shao Lecheng looked at the woman in front of him, then said: "Very good, come here and accompany me back!"
He stood up and pulled the woman into his arms. The woman bumped into him, pretending to feel pain in her chest and clutching her chest: "Your Highness, you hurt me!"
Afterwards, Shao Lecheng put his arm around the woman's waist and said to Jing Yuchen, "Thank you, Regent's woman. I'm taking my leave!"
After leaving with the woman in his arms, Zou Yangyao seemed to be moved and stood up: "They say a night of love is worth a thousand gold. General, I will return home first!"
He simply picked up the woman and carried her sideways, walking out without caring whether Jing Yuchen agreed or not.
