Chapter 184: Preparing for the Palace Banquet
The Dragon Boat Festival is about to be celebrated, so Jiang Yuntian needs to go to the palace to say goodbye.
Because the palace was about to hold a banquet, there were too many things to do, so Jiang Yuntian needed to help.
After arriving in the palace, Jiang Yuntian first went to the queen to report and found that the prince's two concubines were already there.
After Jiang Yuntian blessed the queen, he greeted the two princes and concubines politely, and then she slowly sat down.
The queen was originally talking to the two princes and concubines, but when she saw Jiang Yun leaning over, she remembered that she had mentioned some rumors recently, and she felt a little unhappy.
Thinking that the woman she looked down on the most at the beginning has now become her opponent, and there will be a lot of things, which makes the queen feel a little awkward.
During this time, she was also reflecting on herself, why did she look down on Jiang Yuntian in the first place?
How did Jiang Yuntian's weird reaction come out?
Did someone deliberately show it to her, or did Jiang Yuntian deliberately behave in his own way and misled her judgment.
Thinking of this, the queen deliberately said to Jiang Yun: "Princess Yi is now famous, and they all say that you can do it very well, so it is better to leave this palace banquet to you." ”
Jiang Yun heard the queen's words, and hurriedly said: "The son is stupid, I'm afraid that I won't be able to take on the heavy responsibility, and I ask the queen to take back her life." ”
"You mean, everyone else is stupid, that's why they praise you for being good?"
The queen looked at Jiang Yuntian, who was bowing her head at this time, with a hint of mockery on the corner of her mouth.
"Erchen has no such intention. It's just that I simply feel that my ability is not enough, and I don't dare to take on heavy responsibilities. ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yuntian hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you for the queen's love, but Yuntian really feels that he can't afford this responsibility, such a big matter as the palace banquet naturally needs to be presided over by the queen's mother, and the sons can help do anything." Besides, the two princes and concubines are also there, and they also have their own talents, so the sons and daughters dare not be ashamed, so they ask the queen to take back the decree, otherwise, the sons will embarrass the queen. ”
"Don't be modest, don't you want to do things for you?"
Jiang Yun listened to the queen's words, it seemed that there was something in the words, and the tone was not completely praised, with a sour taste, so she was more careful.
Hearing that the queen was such a general, Jiang Yuntian knew that he couldn't say anything more, so he could only say: "When Erchen is just in his own mansion, there is no pressure to do things, so he can do whatever he wants." But this is a palace banquet, and the people who entertain are the royal family and nobles, so the ministers are naturally afraid that they will not be able to do it well and lose the queen mother. ”
The queen smiled faintly: "You don't have to worry about this." The palace is also your home, and I am your queen mother, so you can do it with confidence. Just make it distinctive, so that it doesn't be the same as before. ”
"Erchen is worried that he will not be able to do anything special and live up to his mother's expectations."
The queen squinted her eyes slightly, looked at Jiang Yuntian and said, "Princess Yi is modest, I have heard a lot of rumors about you recently, and I heard that you have handled your kung fu very well, not only reducing the expenses in the palace, but also creating a lot of income." It is said that the debate meeting has attracted a lot of talents for the emperor, and there are many discussions in the court, saying that Princess Yiyi is very capable. “
Jiang Yuntian said to the queen: "Those are other people's rumors, Erchen really didn't do anything, just simply took care of the house, because King Yi has been in poor health, so he doesn't have the energy to manage the time in the house, since Erchen has married King Yi, becoming his princess naturally has to share some for King Yi." Besides, many things are the re-emergence of King Yi, and the sons are just laborers to do, so some of the praise of others for the sons is really rumors, and the queen mother should not take it seriously. ”
The queen turned her head and looked at her two daughters-in-law and said: "Look at Princess Yi is so modest and polite, she has done so many things but said that it is the credit of others, the two side concubines of the prince, you have to learn from Princess Yiyi." ”
The queen looked at her two daughters-in-law, one was not smart, and the other seemed to be decent, but she didn't see any characteristics at the moment.
And this Jiang Yuntian has a lot of rumors now.
If she hadn't objected to her marrying her son at the beginning, then she should be the crown princess now, that is, everything he did was done for the prince, and the queen felt even more uncomfortable when she thought of this.
When Li Yunhuan heard this, he quickly knelt down, "Erchen should remember the teachings of the queen mother, and he must learn from Princess Yi and serve the prince's mansion well." ”
Jiang Duxue also quickly knelt down and said, "Erchen will also learn from Princess Yi well, and correctly share the worries of the prince and the queen." ”
When the queen heard this, she left a meaningful smile: "This palace banquet, the mourning family decided to let Princess Yi preside over the assistance of the two of you, and the mourning family will see how the three of you can make new tricks for this palace banquet." “
Jiang Yuntian still wanted to refuse, but seeing that the queen had already made up her mind, she couldn't say anything more.
Because she knew that if she presumed it again, it would cause the queen to be angry, so she had to take it.
But he said to the queen: "Erchen is really a little stupid, if you don't do it well, please forgive the queen first!" “
Then he said: "The three of you are all henchmen and newcomers of the mourning family, so the previous palace banquets are all old-fashioned, and there are no new tricks, since the three of you get it this time, then the mourning family hopes that this palace banquet will leave a different impression on everyone, and I hope you can work hard to give full play to your talents to make this palace banquet so that everyone can eat, drink, have fun, and start the machine, but don't be too extravagant." “
Jiang Yun listened to the queen, this was a problem for him, to let him spend the least amount of money to do the most things, he couldn't help but have a headache, thinking that it was really reputation that kills people, she didn't think about any reputation, but because of the reputation spread by others, she found so many things for her.
After returning to King Yi's Mansion, Jiang Yuntian told Hua Yiyun about the queen's arrangements.
After hearing this, Hua Yiyun comforted her and said: "Don't think about it, since the queen asked you to do it, then you can do it, if you can't do it, I will bear it for you, anyway, you have already told him in advance that you may not do well, and she has to let you do it, then you will do it according to your wishes." “
Hearing her husband say this, Jiang Yun was very comforted.
Knowing that he really has something, Hua Yiyun will take care of it for himself.
But Jiang Yuntian also knew that if something big really happened, it would naturally affect him, and he couldn't get rid of responsibility, so he couldn't have an accident.
just thought that the two princes and concubines wanted to help her, and her sister, she really didn't dare to count on it.
The other side concubine, she doesn't look like a bad person when she sees it today, but she hasn't dealt with her character in the end, and it is estimated that they will need to run in for a while this time.
And they are the prince's people, so when dealing with them in the future, they naturally need to be well proportioned, and they can't let her call people casually.
Moreover, Jiang Yuntian saw that the queen's attitude towards her was not friendly, and asked her to do this, I don't know if the queen was too lazy to worry about it, or if she wanted to test her or wanted her to do something, so that she could find her business. Jiang Yun went back to his room and lay on the bed and thought about it for a long time, thinking that since such an errand could not be postponed, it was better to think about how to do it well.
Jiang Yuntian suddenly thought of his current role, just like Wang Xifeng in the Dream of Red Mansions, handling the funeral for Rongguo Mansion.
It's just that she doesn't have Wang Xifeng's domineering, and she doesn't want to show such domineering, because she doesn't want to appear to be very capable in the palace.
Because Jiang Yuntian had to handle the affairs of the palace banquet, the queen gave her a special sign and asked her to exercise the queen's rights to manage the harem on her behalf.
In this way, the relative power becomes very large, in order to let others let him get familiar with it as soon as possible and know the division of labor and characteristics of each person, Jiang Yuntian held an emergency meeting the next day, and asked these people to simply report their division of labor, and they can tell their own specialties, especially the queen arranged a grandmother around him, and followed Jiang Yuntian to make it convenient for her.
Jiang Yuntian learned after understanding that the palace banquets in the past were all flowing water banquets, and all the dishes were also fixed dishes.
And the guests are naturally these people in the palace and some ministers and family members in the court, basically the same will not change, just more, foreign envoys.
Thinking that it should be unique but not spend more money, Jiang Yuntian finally decided to hold an event like a night market in the palace, and invited some vendors to set up stalls in the palace, so that these people could also experience the fun of the night market now.
On this basis, she also arranged for some palace maids to perform songs and dances.
At that time, the songs performed and rehearsed at the banquet were also held in the style of a modern evening party.
Because this is ancient times, the instruments are definitely different, and he communicated repeatedly with some musicians to make the music cheerful.
And some of the leading dancers also re-choreographed the dance according to her instructions, especially Jiang Yuntian also communicated with some foreign envoys and introduced some foreign dances, which increased the effect of the party.
In addition, she set up some game parts for the party, so that it is not a simple poetry meeting in the past, only literati can participate.
Hearing that Jiang Yuntian and these creative queens, the two side concubines of the crown prince, as well as the grandmothers in the palace and the people involved, they all felt very fresh, but they didn't know what the specific scale of the presentation looked like.
Jiang Yuntian suddenly thought that he seemed to be operating a large-scale party instead of a palace banquet.
He also wanted the effect of turning a dinner party into a party, except that the party and the dinner party were held at the same time.
In the process of preparation, Jiang Duxue proposed that he should perform a show at the party to show his talent, and Jiang Yuntian fully agreed.
Thinking that she would like to show it, she just showed it, but there was one more project that night.
In the process of preparation, Li Yunhuan didn't comment too much because he had been following, but Jiang Yuntian asked her to do whatever he wanted.
Jiang Yuntian always felt that Li Yunhuan was just silently observing her, not as innocent as it seemed.
One day, after Jiang Yuntian came to the palace, Li Yunhuan told Jiang Yuntian that there was something wrong with a program by the river and she needed to go over, so Jiang Yuntian walked there.
On the way to the past, Jiang Yuntian passed by a small road, and there was a corridor on the path.
Because it was hot now, Jiang Yuntian chose to walk through the corridor, so that it could be cooler.
It's just that when she walked halfway through, she found a man in front of her.
Jiang Yuntian knew that he was in the harem of the palace, and ordinary men couldn't get in.
So when she saw a man talking in front of her, she was first shocked, and she didn't know who was here.
It wasn't appropriate to go back, so I had to stop there and think about the man leaving before I could continue.
