Chapter 31: The Banquet (Part II)
Chen Su is usually a master who doesn't ask about the world, but now she not only asks about the world, but also praises Jiang Huan so much, it is not difficult to make people wonder if Jiang Huan actually has some ulterior secrets behind her.
For example, in the case of Concubine Ru, there is also a lot of gossip that it was actually the evidence that Jiang Huan caught, and Concubine Ru was suddenly caught.
From this point of view, this rumor is true, Jiang Huan not only helped Chen Su get rid of Concubine Ru, but also found the phoenix seal for her.
They originally felt that Jiang Country was a wild place, and the fifth princess of Jiang Country must also be a barbarian woman with little knowledge. It's just that I never thought that the barbarian woman can't say it, but she is much smarter than many other women in this harem.
Such a woman has become a crown princess, and they will be more comfortable in the future.
Jiang Huan knew that Chen Su's move was to establish his majesty among the ministers before he married into the prince's mansion.
It's just that the last thing Jiang Huan should do at this time is to establish his majesty among so many powerful ministers.
It's too ostentatious, and it's hard to pave the way back.
Jiang Huan pressed Chen Su's hand and said with a little embarrassment, "The queen praised it falsely, Erchen is just an ordinary woman, and it is difficult to bear such hospitality." ”
After that, Jiang Huan reached out and pressed Chen Su's hand, signaling with his eyes that she didn't need to do this.
It's just that Chen Su was determined to make Jiang Huan famous in one fell swoop this time, and he didn't care whether Jiang Huan was willing or not, so he only pushed Jiang Huan to him, looking like he wanted to introduce Jiang Huan to everyone.
Without waiting for Chen Su to do this, Chen Ruyi first grabbed Jiang Huan's arm and shook his head, "Queen Mother, if Ah Huan doesn't want to do something, don't force her." ”
As soon as Chen Ruyi spoke, Chen Su had no confidence to speak, so he had to look at these two like a little couple on a honeymoon.
As everyone knows, Jiang Huan tried to get rid of Chen Ruyi's hand, but he secretly used his strength for a long time, and he didn't even break a finger of Chen Ruyi.
"Don't move, if you don't want to continue to be pushed in front of others for introductions. Chen Ruyi warned in a low voice.
In the end, Chen Ruyi's words worked, and Jiang Huan's movements that were still quietly struggling stopped first.
She silently glared at Chen Ruyi with her eyes and warned him not to make too many moves, but Chen Ruyi hooked her lips and pulled her to her side with a smile.
Chen Ruyi is surrounded by a fine pear blossom wood armchair, which is decorated with rubies, and even a little luster reflection of snowflakes can be seen against the background of some sunlight.
Jiang Huan had heard that this chair was a treasure of the Fengluan Palace, and it was only taken out by the Queen Mother when she visited the Fengluan Palace.
Today, it was put out for Jiang Huan's use.
Jiang Huan hesitated, not knowing whether it was time to sit down.
If you sit down, it seems that you are on the same level as the Queen Mother. However, Jiang Huan knew very well that if he raised his initial status to this point, he would have to deal directly with these powerful ministers later.
Jiang Huan's originally hesitant heart paused.
Ministers?
If he can directly take some of it, the forces that originally belonged to Concubine Ru will be taken into his own possession. So wouldn't he be able to add a lot of power directly to the Prince's Mansion?
Concubine Ru's power is enough to make the Prince's Mansion grow rapidly and make everyone fearful.
Jiang Huan thought about it for a long time, and decided that he should directly grasp the power of these powerful ministers at this banquet.
She didn't want to send the opportunity to the door.
Jiang Huan signaled with his eyes that he had heard Chen Ruyi's meaning, pulled out a chair and sat next to Chen Ruyi.
This chair made of pear blossom wood looked particularly shining against Jiang Huan's clothes, and the eyes of all the powerful ministers who looked at it couldn't take their eyes off.
"Look, isn't that chair made only by the Queen Mother, and how can it be his turn to be a princess of another country?" said one of them.
"No, I said, the queen got rid of Concubine Ru this time, in fact, just to give this princess a chance to build momentum in front of us. ”
"It seems that this Chen Guo's harem is also about to change. ”
The ministers chattered non-stop, and the moment they saw Chen Su's face gloomy, they immediately remained silent.
Although this queen usually doesn't ask about the world, once the fire starts, no one knows what she will do, after all, there is an example of Concubine Ru first, and none of them want to follow in the footsteps of Concubine Ru.
Chen Su looked at Jiang Huan and nodded with satisfaction, and then announced the start of the banquet.
This banquet is clearly for Jiang Huan to pick up the wind and wash the dust. In fact, everyone knows that Chen Su is to announce Jiang Huan's status.
The food served at this banquet was not only all of Jiang Huan's favorite, but even the decorations of the water pavilion this time were all arranged according to Jiang Huan's wishes.
In order to organize Jiang Huan's birthday banquet this time, the queen can be described as painstaking.
"I invite you to come today, firstly, to congratulate my good daughter-in-law Jiang Huan on her birthday, and secondly, to quell the troubles left by Concubine Ru before. Chen Su raised his glass high and said to everyone.
"Concubine Ru stole the phoenix seal without permission, and after being arrested, the guards also found a map of the distribution of troops in the palace in his palace. This picture is only owned by a few people in Chen Guo, and this time it appeared in the hands of Concubine Ru, and the emperor and I accepted suspicions, and this picture has been leaked out by the inner ghosts. "Let's say, Chen Su raised his head and drank the wine in his cup, and he looked quite bold, and it seemed that he had not been stolen by the troop distribution map at all, and he was disturbed by his emotions.
It's just that this remark caused a lot of reactions to everyone in the audience.
This map of the distribution of troops includes not only the distribution of guards in Chen's harem, but also the exact location of the troops distributed in the four city walls and dangerous areas, if it once it enters the enemy's hands, it is unimaginable.
Concubine Ru already has one in her hand, and it is not difficult to explain that the inner ghost already has a backup in her hand.
Now that Concubine Ru is dead, the inner ghost must be on guard, and it is difficult to find out this inner ghost again.
Jiang Huan understood that Chen Su set up this banquet today, in fact, it was not to show her Jiang Huan's future status in the Prince's Mansion at all, but in fact, she was just using the name of the banquet to entertain the ghosts, so as to catch turtles in the urn.
Previously, Jiang Huan only thought that Chen Su didn't care about the world, and he wouldn't pay attention to these scheming things, but he didn't think that in fact, Chen Su had already planned everything in his heart.
Jiang Huan looked around at the various beings in the audience, but he no longer had a taste in his heart. She wondered if Chen Su had already prepared everything, then whether this banquet had already hidden her guards.
It's naturally a good thing to catch the thief, but if you can't catch it, I'm afraid that this disaster will be borne by her Jiang Huan.
