He learned that the emperor was holding a banquet.
Those concubines naturally did not dare to not come, nor did they dare to be late, so they all set off early and arrived early.
When Zhao Zheng arrived at the imperial kitchen, almost all of his concubines had arrived.
Seeing the emperor appear, all the concubines stood up and bowed.
"ChenQie welcomes the Emperor!"
Zhao Zheng waved his hand.”
Then, Zhao Zheng sat down on the main seat.
Next to him was the Empress 'seat.
Only the Empress was qualified to sit beside him at a family banquet like this.
After Zhao Zheng sat down, he glanced around and realized that two people were missing.
It was normal for the imperial noble consort's seat to be empty.
Because the original Imperial Noble Consort Tian Qiuyan had been ordered to die by Zhao Zheng, Zhao Zheng had yet to establish a new Noble Consort, so the position of Noble Consort was empty.
But now, Concubine Ning's seat was empty!
Zhao Zheng's expression darkened.
"Where's Concubine Ning?"
A palace maid stood out and reported in fear,"Your Majesty, Concubine Ning said that she is not feeling well and is still reflecting on her mistakes, so…"
Zhao Zheng smiled when he heard this.
He was sneering!
Of course Zhao Zheng could hear that Concubine Ning was throwing a tantrum at him.
This Concubine Ning was really brainless. She actually dared to throw a tantrum at him at this time?
Why?
Did she really think that Zhao Zheng couldn't bear to do it to her?
"Oh, since Concubine Ning is not feeling well, let her recuperate! Big partner!"
"Yes, I am." Feng Zhong immediately stepped forward.”
Zhao Zheng coldly announced," Pass on my decree. Consort Ning is arrogant and willful, arrogant and rude. From today onwards, she will be stripped of her position and demoted to a commoner. She will be banished to the Cold Palace and will be shut in to reflect on her mistakes. She will take back all the concubines 'belongings!"”
As soon as he finished speaking, the spacious hall fell silent.
All the concubines were so scared that their faces turned pale and they didn't dare to make a sound.
Even the Empress couldn't bear it.
However, since the Emperor had already issued an official decree, it was a fact that could not be changed. The Empress did not dare to say anything more.
If one wanted to blame someone, they could only blame Consort Ning for being too willful!
Zhao Zheng also knew that the punishment of being banished to the Cold Palace was a bit heavy for Concubine Ning.
If it was on Earth, it was normal for his girlfriend to throw a tantrum. He had to coax and pamper the dog, or else he would be dumped at any moment.
However, this was the Great Xia Dynasty.
Zhao Zheng wasn't trying to be a dog!
As the emperor, he could have any woman he wanted.
He would never spoil a disobedient woman!
Even if this woman was very loyal to Zhao Zheng and dared to be willful regardless of the occasion, Zhao Zheng would not show mercy.
"This old servant obeys."
Feng Zhong thought to himself.
This hadn't even started yet, and the Emperor had already crippled Concubine Ning.
It seemed that there would be no good banquet today.
"Let the imperial kitchen serve the dishes!"
After punishing Concubine Ning, Zhao Zheng announced the start of the banquet.
After receiving Zhao Zheng's order, the kitchen at the back immediately moved. Delicate dishes were served to the Emperor and the concubines by the eunuchs and serving girls.
However, many of the concubines did not even have the slightest appetite when they saw the exquisite dishes. Instead, they were trembling with fear and restlessness.
Even if there were hungry concubines, they did not dare to move since the emperor did not move his chopsticks first.
"Emperor, try this mandarin fish."
The Empress took the initiative to pick up a piece of fish for Zhao Zheng and served him.
Zhao Zheng took a bite of the fish and found that the fish meat was unusually delicious. He could not help but praise,"Not bad, the meat of this fish is tender and smooth, fresh and delicious.”
With Zhao Zheng's words, the concubines dared to pick up their chopsticks and pick up a piece of fish to taste.
Some of the concubines who knew how to stir up trouble began to follow Zhao Zheng and praise the delicious fish.
After all the concubines had tasted the dishes, Zhao Zheng raised his glass again and said to his wives,"Come, my beloved concubines, drink a cup with me!”
The remaining nine concubines and the empress raised their cups.
"Chen Qie respects the Emperor!"
After saying that, everyone downed the wine in their cups.
Some of the concubines who could not hold their liquor instantly choked until their faces turned red. They looked different.
Zhao Zheng was not in the mood to appreciate the beauty.
Now, he had eaten the food and drank the wine.
Then, it was time to settle the score!!
