Chapter 223: It Must Be Done

The emperor's infinite magnanimity to the Xie family probably came from the empress and the Xie family's previous hard work for the royal family.

But looking at Chu Nanyue, on the other hand, she didn't believe that if she was in charge of organizing this birthday banquet, what mistakes were made, the emperor would definitely not laugh like he did with the Xie family.

"In this way, this birthday banquet is indeed the master of the Xie family?" Qingshuang asked.

"Why ask so clearly?" Chu Nanyue smiled indifferently, "If you understand what happened, you should also understand this kind of family matter, not for you and me to discuss openly." ”

When Qingshuang heard this, she was self-interested. And because of Chu Nanyue's analysis, the freshness originally generated by Qingshuang gradually disappeared.

Now Qingshuang is like a frosted eggplant, and she is worried to choose a dress for Chu Nanyue.

And Chu Nanyue finally stood up and closed the paperwork in his hand.

"Qingshuang, I want to wear the uniform I wear every day." Chu Nanyue commanded.

Because she often wears it, Qingshuang didn't have to look for long at all to find the uniform.

Because Chu Nanyue has always cherished her clothes, and now it is a matter of peace, and the uniform is still half new.

But such half-new clothes still make Qingshuang feel uneasy.

"General, the event in a few days is the birthday banquet of the queen's mother," Qingshuang hesitated, "At that time, the women in Beijing will come over, and the general is wearing a military uniform, is it too conspicuous?" ”

"Who said I'm going to sit with those ladies anymore?" Chu Nanyue raised her eyebrows. "I was invited as a courtier, and naturally sat with the adults as usual."

She didn't want to become a beautiful peacock, she wanted to be with those women, with exquisite makeup, but she seemed to be locked in a cage, tasting everyone's scrutinizing eyes.

Hearing this, Qingshuang seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, general, ask the slave maid to say, the general is also suitable for men's clothing." The general wears that troublesome women's dress, and every time he feels uncomfortable. It's far less clean and crisp than the uniform. ”

When Chu Nanyue heard Qingshuang's words, she couldn't realize for a moment whether this was a good word or a bad word.

So Chu Nanyue only said: "It's not for personal comfort. I am the commander of the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, and I am a general in the DPRK, so I just follow the rules in everything. ”

In such formal tables, she would sit at the same table with the men. If she weren't wearing a military uniform or men's clothes, she would definitely look out of place.

Qingshuang became more and more sensitive, and soon heard the mystery in it.

"General, you are talking about military uniforms, but not ordinary men's clothing, why is that?" Qingshuang asked.

Everyone was dressed when they went to the banquet, but Chu Nanyue set a military uniform, and there must be something strange in it.

"Didn't everyone say that at this birthday banquet, the queen wanted something new?" Chu Nanyue said.

Qingshuang only then knew that although this was a piece of gossip, his own general still paid attention to it.

"I heard Wang Chang also say that he is in the military department, and he is more well-informed than me, and the queen has a purpose, which is to set a roster and let some women make some tricks for her." Chu Nanyue said.

The so-called trick is to celebrate birthdays.

The queen likes novelty. It's not the so-called different invitations, but the sincere congratulations of everyone.

And because the queen is the master of the harem, the objects sent by those men, or expressions, are not in line with the etiquette. And the most suitable ones are the daughters of those ministers, as well as Chu Nanyue, who is an official.

At least after figuring out this matter, Chu Nanyue has determined that she must have been set up by the queen.

"The general changes into a military uniform, but he really has a bit of a heroic posture." Qingshuang smiled, "I just don't know, what did the general prepare?" ”

"It's a secret, of course." Chu Nanyue blinked.

Now that she has made up her mind to congratulate the queen on her birthday, she will not deal with it hastily. What's more, people such as Xie Yinhua and others must be in the same column. Chu Nanyue naturally didn't want to let Xie Yinhua have another chance to pick quarrels and provoke trouble.

Chu Nanyue's attitude towards the queen's birthday banquet changed, which naturally caused Qingshuang to pay more and more attention.

She found out that Xie Yinhua had really been preparing for the queen's birthday banquet for a long time, just to show off her dancing at the banquet.

Qingshuang reminded Chu Nanyue to pay attention every time, but Chu Nanyue smiled and still kept silent about the uniform.

And it was not until the twenty-third day.

Chu Nanyue and Qingshuang went to the queen's palace together, and when they saw that all the decorations in the palace were extremely luxurious, they couldn't help but sigh again and again.

Although it is said that the cost of this mother of a country is all royal silver for the royal flower. But I don't know how the Xie family got this money, and there was no embarrassment for a while, which shows that they are really wealthy.

Chu Nanyue secretly said in his heart, the Xie family is so prominent, but at the same time so ostentatious, but he doesn't know that the ancient family of relatives is deeply feared by the emperor and the royal family.

The Xie family is indeed special. Because it is not the status that the queen obtains, but the queen can marry into the palace and become the queen because of the Xie family.

The Xie family's help to the royal family and the two generations of emperors is quite profound. As for Xie Xun, he is also the emperor's confidant.

Not to mention, the Xie family is still a cold family supported by the emperor, as long as the dispute between the family and the cold family is not resolved, the Xie family will be fine.

But Chu Nanyue felt that the Xie family was thinking too simply. Whether it was what Chu Nanyue found out by herself, or the news she learned from Dongling Shuo, neither the empress nor the emperor had that extremely deep love.

Although it is normal for the emperor to be ruthless, it also means that the so-called stable relationship is not stable.

Blindly publicizing it is useless for the imperial family, and after a long time, will it not arouse the emperor's suspicion and dislike?

Chu Nanyue entered the palace under the guidance of several palace maids, and saw that the queen was sitting on the table early today, looking at everyone with a smile on her face.

Seeing that the queen's complexion was excellent, Chu Nanyue breathed a sigh of relief. Such a long-term banquet is actually not suitable for people who have been sick for a long time, but the meaning of the queen's birthday banquet has already exceeded itself. Even if the queen herself doesn't want to do it, whether it is the Xie family or the royal family, she has to do it.

Chu Nanyue looked at the seats and consciously walked into the seats of the same row of ministers and sat down. On the opposite side are the nobles of the ministers, among whom there is a screen to cover up.

Chu Nanyue only felt that Xie Yinhua, who was facing her, was staring at herself as if she had to go against herself, and after seeing her outfit clearly, she laughed out loud.

After a while, Xie Yinhua seemed to realize that it was a bit rude to do so, and hurriedly covered his mouth and turned sideways.

"I don't know what she's laughing at." Qingshuang is in the side airway.

Isn't this daughter of the Xie family relying on herself to be the niece of the queen's mother, and she is related to the royal family?

If the protection of the queen is really removed, Prime Minister Xie Cheng's favor will be placed in the same place as his own general, according to the official rank, how long can she Xie Yinhua be arrogant?
