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

Chapter 15 Two birds with one stone

According to Nanny Gui, Chi Xinian quickly figured out the origin of the spring banquet.

The spring banquet at the beginning was just a dispensable banquet in the palace. If any concubine thought of it, she could lead a party at will.

Later, at a spring banquet attended by the late emperor, Concubine Xue, who was still a twenty-eight beauty, relied on her excellent dancing skills to perform a piece of Lingbo Weibu with all her heart, which made the late emperor call it wonderful.After that time, the late emperor specially assigned Concubine Xue to organize the Spring Banquet.

And because that day happened to be the vernal equinox, the time for the banquet was also determined.

Later, the first emperor loved the beautiful woman beside him more and more, and the position of the beautiful woman was also promoted from Jieyu to imperial concubine, almost equal to the empress.This spring feast is becoming more and more serious...

"It turns out that there is such a story behind this spring feast." Chi Xi young took a sip of his new tea, and smiled faintly at the corner of his mouth.

After a little thought, Chi Xinian asked again: "When the first emperor was here, the spring banquet was under the control of his noble concubine, but now that the new emperor is on the throne, it would be inappropriate for this banquet to be under the control of Concubine Xue, right?
"Who is in charge of this banquet in the palace now? But...Concubine Xue Shu?"

"Of course Concubine Xue Shu will do it." Nanny Gui didn't know what Yan Chujing and Chi Xinian had talked about alone before, and when she heard Chi Xinian's question by chance, she took it for granted, "Since Concubine Xue Shu entered the palace three years ago, Concubine Xue So I handed over this matter to her. She is also capable, and after learning from her aunt two or three times, she has mastered the tricks. Thinking about it, starting from this year, this spring banquet should be hosted by her alone."

Hearing this, Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows again.

From this year onwards, Concubine Xue Shu should be the one to hold the spring banquet alone?

No wonder, His Majesty would think of a way to hand this matter over to her.

Concubine Shu put on a face today and refused to come to Fengqi Palace to pay homage, so he wanted to use this to punish him. After being stopped by her, he deliberately handed over Concubine Shu's responsibility to her...

It seemed that he not only wanted to maintain the illusion of pampering her, but also provoked conflicts between her and Concubine Shu, asking the Chi family to help him suppress the powerful Xue family.

What a plan to kill two birds with one stone!
Although this emperor may not look very old, he has a lot of plans in his heart!

Chi Xinian only thought for a while before he figured out the key point.

But ever since she guessed what Yan Chujing was thinking, she was never annoyed by it.

The members of the Xue family used to be the main peace faction in the court, advocating the cession of land and compensation, and peace of the people's livelihood, and they were not at ease with the Chi family who believed that those who violated our country's prestige would be punished even if they were far away.

Based on the bad relationship between the two families in the past, it's okay for her to help Yan Chujing suppress the prestige of the Xue family.In addition, she also has something to ask him, this matter, it can be considered as a favor to him.

Chi Xinian was determined, so he put down the teacup and ordered: "How did the spring banquet in the past, you go and find out for me. Your majesty specially explained today that this year's spring banquet will be organized by me."

"Your Majesty left this matter to the empress?!" Nanny Gui immediately looked happy when she heard this.

A banquet is a small matter, but it is about face.

His Majesty deliberately handed over this matter to the Empress Dowager, so he gave the Empress Empress this face!

As long as the empress handles this matter well, then from now on, the empress' status in this palace won't be...

Seeing that the joy on Nanny Gui's face became more and more intense, Chi Xinian said simply: "Mommy is an old man in the palace, and I think she knows this spring banquet very well. Why don't we prepare for the banquet in advance? Give it to Mammy?"
