Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 14 Spring Banquet

Sure enough, as Chi Xinian expected, Yan Chujing only thought about it for a moment in "difficulty", and then quickly made a decision.

He bent his phoenix eyes and said happily: "How about this, the empress will help me to organize the spring banquet in three days, and I will treat you as a 'failure', what do you think?"

"Spring feast?" Chi Xinian blinked, obviously not knowing much about the banquet.

"It's a small banquet where the Tian family invites the courtiers to enjoy the spring scenery and the new atmosphere of the year together at the vernal equinox every year." Yan Chujing explained while serving dishes for Chi Xinian. "The theme of the banquet is only to enjoy the spring. Around these two words, you can do whatever you want!"

"Appreciating spring?" Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows, "It doesn't sound like a difficult task?"

It would be too easy to hold a banquet whose theme is simply appreciating spring.

Just prepare some refreshments and snacks, and then let everyone play a little game of reciting poems and matching, beating drums and passing flowers around the theme of spring, and the banquet will be considered complete.

Even if you want to add a little more elegance, you can use the method of "inviting everyone to go boating on the lake and enjoy the spring scenery on both sides of the lake" to achieve the effect.

Even though she has been in the army for six years, she grew up in the splendid piles of capital when she was young. She has eaten and played all kinds of banquets. The spring banquet proposed by the emperor can be facilitated by her, so...

Why did he leave this matter to her?
Simply don't want to embarrass her?He is not such a kind person.

And he has no good intentions, and the banquet is not difficult to organize. The problem is probably only the banquet itself.

After a little thought, Chi Xinian found something strange.

But after she knew it, her face was still calm, and after thinking for a while, she even resolutely agreed to Yan Chujing: "Since His Majesty trusts me, I will definitely organize this banquet for you, so that you will not be disappointed. "

"Okay, then I'll have to work hard for the queen." Yan Chujing bent his phoenix eyes, and there was a trace of cunning in his eyes.

After saying that, he personally picked a small vegetable for Chi Xinian.

The two, who had their own thoughts, finished their dinner peacefully in this way.

As soon as the dinner was over, Li Fusheng, the chief manager, brought Yan Chujing away with the brochure that was sent urgently from the south.Yan Chujing looked eager, and Chi Xinian would never keep him any longer.

Besides…

Picking up the warm tea and rinsing her mouth, her eyes also turned from the direction Yan Chujing left to where Nanny Gui and Qingyun were.

Now there are three people serving her, among them Qingyun and Nanny Gui are old people in the palace.It's a good time to ask them about the spring banquet.

"Do you two know about the Spring Banquet?" Chi Xinian raised his eyes and glanced at the two of them, before going straight to the point.

"Your servant knows." Nanny Gui and Qing Yun exchanged glances.

After a short pause, Nanny Gui bent her knees and blessed her body, and said, "Returning to Madam, the Spring Banquet is a custom passed down from the previous dynasty, and it is also a testimony of the relationship between the late Emperor and Concubine Xue."

"Oh?" Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows, suddenly interested.

Unexpectedly, a simple banquet would have something to do with the relationship between Concubine Xue and the late emperor.

Leaving aside the first emperor's place, just saying that he has something to do with Concubine Xue, this matter is definitely not easy.Tsk, the emperor's seemingly random assignment actually included a big article.

When Chi Xinian thought about this, Nanny Gui introduced it in detail: "Actually, holding a banquet in spring is a long-standing tradition.

"It's just that the time for this banquet was not clear in the early years, and there was no conclusion on who would take the lead and who to invite.

"It wasn't until a certain spring banquet, when Concubine Xue danced in all directions, that the late emperor took notice of the banquet."
