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

Chapter 20
Yan Chujing always felt that it was a bit strange for the queen's people to ask to see him at this time.

He couldn't tell what was wrong, but the tense feeling that she had exposed his thoughts yesterday suddenly emerged at this moment.

He had a premonition that seeing Qingyun at this moment would definitely cause trouble for him

But Concubine Shu was watching from the side. If he didn't show his preferential treatment to the queen at this moment, then all the previous designs and efforts would be in vain.

Gritting his teeth, Yan Chujing still asked Li Fusheng to let him in.

When Qingyun first entered the imperial study, she was also startled when she saw Concubine Shu here.

She probably knew what kind of list the Queen asked her to hand over to His Majesty.If you discuss it with His Majesty in private, maybe you can understand it with affection and politeness, but in front of Concubine Shu...

Thinking of the scene where Concubine Shu grabbed her own mother's pigtail and made a fuss over it, Qingyun's eyes trembled unconsciously, and her movements of kneeling and saluting also froze for a moment.

"Are you here for the spring banquet?" Yan Chujing keenly captured Qingyun's changes.

At the same time, the fingertips hidden in the big sleeve secretly twisted the cuff.

"Yes, yes..." Qingyun nodded stiffly, and then handed the list to Li Fusheng, "This is the list of banquet expenses roughly listed by the empress, and please have a look..."

"List? So soon?" Yan Chujing's eyes flashed darkly.

How can his queen be so concerned about this matter?

What's wrong with him?
unless…

When Yan Chujing's thoughts turned sharply, Concubine Shu, who could not hold back her temper for a long time, came over directly: "The queen's movements are quite fast, just in time, so I'm here to see what kind of good scene she gave to His Majesty. arrange!"

Concubine Shu put down her words, Yan Chujing could only purse her lips, and bravely opened the list.

The list is very concise, the short list has less than ten lines in total, and all the items can be included in the eyes with just a glance.

Yan Chujing, who had already realized that something was wrong, turned his gaze again, and his breath suddenly became suffocated: "Did the queen leave a list? This cost...how is it only half of what it used to be?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, this is the list." Qingyun glanced secretly at Concubine Xue Shu, and then at Yan Chujing's face, before saying cautiously, "The Empress said, this spring banquet is not a New Year's feast, and it is as extravagant and wasteful as in previous years." , too much.

"Anyway, we just gather together to enjoy the scenery of spring, so we only need to make two cups of tea and go to the lake to enjoy the breeze.

"The money saved...the money saved can just be used to subsidize the families of those soldiers who died for the country in the military camp..."

Qing Yun's voice became softer as she spoke further.

But because the room was too quiet, even though the sound was as quiet as a mosquito, the people present could still hear it clearly.

After she finished speaking, Concubine Shu was the first to give a weird smile: "Ha, the queen really knows how to plan carefully? She can save the money for a banquet in the palace and send it to the barracks?

"Managing palace affairs like her, wouldn't it mean that within two years, the palace masters would have to wear patched dresses and eat bran and wild vegetables?"

After speaking, she turned her eyes to Yan Chujing again, raised her chin and said, "Is this the prudence that His Majesty said? Even if the banquet is held like this, His Majesty can rest assured?"

Yan Chujing: "..."

He also felt that Chi Xinian's arrangement was inappropriate.

To subsidize the families of the soldiers, it can be discussed separately. Those people have sacrificed their lives for the country, so he will not be stingy.Didn't she make it difficult for him to directly embezzle the money from the spring banquet?
　Yan Chujing: Woohoo, my daughter-in-law doesn't give me any face!
　　Chi Xinian: Who told you to plot against others?

　　Yan Chujing: QAQ
