Chapter 119 This is the consequence of offending Yun Zheng (Part 2)
"What? This is ridiculous! How can you not distinguish between the important and the unimportant? The charity auction is more important than the princess's celebration banquet."
The Left Censor-in-Chief was furious. A group of merchants did not come to do their business, but instead went to support a princess. They did not know the importance of the matter and had no political vision at all.
"Go, call them over quickly, it's time for the charity auction."
They waited and waited, but no one showed up for a long time. The queen and the others were getting impatient.
"Left Censor-in-Chief, this is the charity auction you're hosting? How do you do things?"
The Left Censor-in-Chief's face turned pale. It was his fault that he was so depressed and volunteered to host the charity auction. Now all the responsibility was his.
After all, he is still stupid, much stupider than those old foxes.
But he never mentioned it because he wanted to take most of the credit.
He immediately shirked responsibility, "This is not my fault. If anyone should be blamed, blame Princess Jinyun. She chose to hold a banquet on this day and invited so many guests. She was deliberately playing tricks on us."
It’s over, I’ve been screwed by Yun Zheng.
The six of them made a big splash, but in the end it became a big joke.
It was not until this moment that they realized that Yun Zheng had tricked them.
But they couldn't find any faults and were speechless.
The scene was completely silent. No one could understand why those guests spent so much money but didn't come. Wasn't that like throwing money into the river?
Why on earth?
Princess Jiangcheng cleared her throat and said, "Your Majesty, it's rare for me to leave the palace. I'd like to go to the Yun Mansion. Please grant me permission."
The Third Prince's eyes darted around, "Mother, I want to go too. I heard it's a lively event today. The Ninth Prince personally sent out the invitations, and all the important ministers are going."
The eyes of several princes flickered slightly, and the fourth prince chuckled and said, "Mother, since we are here, why don't we go and take a look together?"
The queen hesitated for a moment and said, "Then, let's go."
"I am very disappointed in you. Wait for your punishment."
If money is spent but things are not done, someone must be held responsible.
The Left Censor-in-Chief looked ashen, gritted his teeth, and followed.
No, this blame must be put on Princess Jinyun.
The Yun Mansion was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and was filled with guests, creating a joyous scene.
The Prime Minister and his entourage arrived and looked up at the plaque of the Yun Mansion, which was decorated with dragons and phoenixes.
"This handwriting looks familiar, who wrote it?"
"Nine thousand years old."
Everyone fell silent. Princess Jinyun was truly amazing. The old house was guarded by the calligraphy of the Nine Thousand Year Old Man, and the new house was guarded by the calligraphy of the Emperor.
With these two golden thighs, no wonder he is so willful.
Yun Zhanpeng personally stepped forward to greet him. Although he came from a merchant family, he was now an official. He acted appropriately and handled the high-ranking officials with respect but without a trace of humility. He knew how to handle things just right, making people feel like they were in spring breeze.
The Prime Minister was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, he was not surprised.
The person who can give birth to Princess Jinyun is not an ordinary person.
Yun Mansion is a five-courtyard house with small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and terraces, and scenery at every step, which is a typical Jiangnan garden style.
Yunfu is full of ingenuity and the scenery is magnificent.
The banquet was held by the lake, and the lake water cleverly divided it into two parts. The south side was for entertaining officials, and the north side was for entertaining merchants. The two faced each other, separated only by a winding nine-curve bridge and pavilion.
The sun is shining brightly, and it feels warm on my body.
Everyone sat down to drink tea. The Minister of Revenue glanced around and suddenly paused, "Huh."
The Prime Minister looked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
The Minister of Revenue pointed to the people to the north and said, "Aren't those the merchants who signed up for the charity auction? Why are they here?"
The Prime Minister reacted immediately and his scalp went numb.
"No, this is a big trouble."
The others were also dumbfounded and looked at each other.
The Minister of Revenue's face turned pale. "I told you, no matter who you offend, you must not offend Princess Jinyun. She is a lunatic."
The slap she gave to the six people made them lose all their face.
Yun Zheng appeared out of nowhere and greeted them with a smile, "Gentlemen, you are here."
No one could laugh. The Minister of Revenue rubbed his brows and said, "Princess Jinyun, you are too cruel."
Yun Zheng smiled brightly, "What are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
She is a professional at playing dumb.
"Come, try the first crop of tea from my tea garden. It tastes very good."
The Prime Minister opened his mouth, but the words changed as they reached his lips, "Why don't you see the Nine Thousand Years Old Man?"
Yun Zheng said with a smile, "The prince has something to do, so he'll be here later. He'll definitely be here before the banquet starts."
Yun Zhanpeng and his wife went to entertain the merchants, and Yun Zheng stayed to entertain the officials and nobles.
I have to say that all the expenses for the Yun Mansion’s banquet are the best and most enjoyable.
Yun Zheng warmly entertained the guests with a smile on her face, and behaved calmly and generously, neither humble nor arrogant.
The Prime Minister saw this and couldn't help but sigh that this person's demeanor was much better than that of his grandchildren.
"There's a reason why she caught the Emperor's and Nine Thousand Year Old's eye."
The Minister of Revenue nodded slightly, "If we can divorce amicably, I would like to marry her off to my eldest grandson. She can become a clan wife."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes changed.
New ideas have opened up!
The Prime Minister stroked his beard. Princess Jinyun could choose from any of his grandsons. If she really didn't like one, she still had her grandson-in-law.
For a moment, everyone was wondering in their hearts whether they could produce a capable person among their younger generations.
"The Queen has arrived."
When the announcement was made, everyone stood up and bowed to greet him.
The Queen Mother approached with a group of people, and the Yun family came forward to greet them.
The Queen's attitude was gentle, "Princess Jinyun, I came here uninvited, please forgive me."
Yun Zheng smiled, "It's my honor that Her Majesty the Queen is here."
She glanced at the people around the Queen. Why did she bring four princes and princesses with her?
She smiled at Princess Jiangcheng as a greeting.
The Empress pulled a pair of jade bracelets from her wrists. "These are tributes from Kucha in the Western Regions. I'm giving them to you as a gift."
Yun Zheng put it on directly, and the jade bracelet emitted a warm luster in the sunlight.
"Thank you, Queen."
They were all having a great time. The Left Censor-in-Chief, who had followed them, was extremely anxious and suddenly said, "Princess Jinyun, there's been a blunder in the charity auction. All our efforts over the past few days have gone to waste."
Yun Zheng asked curiously, "Oh, what does that have to do with me?"
The Left Censor-in-Chief asked angrily, "Don't you feel any guilt at all?"
Yun Zheng looked puzzled. "Guilt? What the hell is that? Can I eat it?"
Everyone: ...
Left Censor-in-Chief: ...
"Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Emperor?"
Yun Zheng said calmly, "I believe I have lived up to the Emperor's grace and have done my best to serve Him. If the Emperor blames me, then I have nothing to say."
"Do you have any grievances against the emperor?" The Fourth Prince's voice suddenly rang out.
He is the queen's adopted son, considered a half-legitimate son, and a popular candidate to succeed the throne.
Among all the princes, he and the third prince have the highest status. They are unwilling to give in to each other, and undercurrents are surging.
Yun Zheng looked at him twice. He looked okay, but his eyes were too gloomy.
"I dare not. I will eat and drink every day and live a carefree life. Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up."
The Fourth Prince's expression was extremely serious. "That's wrong. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all the people are his subjects. You are the Princess Jinyun of the Great Qi State, and you have the responsibility to share the worries of the court and the king." Note (1)
He loudly accused, "The charity auction was your idea in the first place. Now that something has gone wrong, you should be held fully responsible."
"This prince orders you to resolve this matter quickly."
Yun Zheng's eyes turned cold. He actually wanted to use her to establish his authority? Blind bastard, you're asking for a beating, right?
I will help you!
