Chapter 34 Handling Matters
Just as Su Yang stepped into the palace gate, a little eunuch stepped forward to salute Su Yang and said with a smile: "Congratulations Niangniang, today the envoys of Mo Lieguo are here, and the emperor has decreed that Niangniang and the Ministry of Rites will handle the banquet together." ”
Hearing the eunuch's words, Su Yang couldn't help but have a headache, the reason why she wanted to organize a flower appreciation banquet before was nothing more than to gain Murong Jue's trust, and secondly, to see what the Ye family could do, but now she suddenly handed over such a major event as a state banquet to her, but she couldn't deal with it.
"Father-in-law, is this serious?"
"Where do the servants dare to lie to you, you must know that such a state banquet is mostly organized by the queen mother, if there is no queen, it will be handled by the queen mother, and now the emperor will hand over this matter to you, this is a supreme honor!"
The eunuch said, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, it seemed that it was not Su Yang who favored him but him, and he didn't pay any attention to the slightly desperate expression on Su Yang's face, and after talking to himself, he turned around and left.
Entering the hall, Su Yang leaned on the chaise longue for a long time, not knowing what to do, but Aunt Mingyu stepped forward and said: "Niangniang, this is a great joy, why is she sad?"
"Aunt Mingyu, I don't have any experience yet, I'm afraid this matter ......"
"What did the slave maid think was the reason, thinking that when the Queen Mother was the queen, she also organized such a state banquet, and she was nervous for the first time, but there is always a first time in everything, if you don't even dare to do it, how can you talk about the future?"
Although the expression on Mingyu's face was very serious, and her tone was slightly reproachful, Su Yang knew that what she said was not wrong at all.
This state banquet is not only a special honor given to her by Murong Jie, but also a test, if she can handle such a major event as the state banquet properly, then it is easy to gain Murong Du's favor and trust, in this way, for her, the next step will be smoother.
"Okay, during this period, I still need Aunt Mingyu's help. ”
"This is natural, since the slave maid has been ordered by the emperor to serve Niangniang and teach Niangniang the rules, during this period she is Niangniang's slave and maid, and she is obliged to serve Niangniang, and Niangniang can rest assured. ”
At the same time, Prime Minister Ye Cheng's house.
Since the Liu family came back that day, Ye Teng has locked her up in the house under house arrest, and as for Ye Qinxin, she has also been grounded for a few days, so as not to make any noise between the two of them and make Ye Teng laugh in shame.
Today, Ye Teng came back from the next dynasty and released the Liu family and Ye Qinxin, and during the meal, he inadvertently mentioned the matter of the envoys of the Mo Lie Kingdom coming to the court mentioned in the early dynasty, and the Liu family's face instantly lit up, and said: "Master, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
"What a good opportunity?" Ye Teng was puzzled.
"Naturally, it's a good opportunity for Qin Xin to get ahead!"
As soon as Liu's words came out, Ye Teng's face instantly darkened, and he slammed the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and said sharply: "Aren't you ashamed enough? Being a daughter's flower appreciation banquet made a fool of herself in public, and being a mother was kicked out of the palace by the Queen Mother, what do you want to do this time? Do you still think I'm not ashamed enough!"
Seeing Ye Teng's anger, Ye Qinxin was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, but Liu Shi made a look of grievance, took out a handkerchief from his arms to wipe his tears, and sobbed: "Woo, why is my life so bitter! Married such a fierce man, and gave birth to a wild girl outside, and finally sent the wild girl to the palace, now it doesn't matter if you don't help your own daughter, you still murder our mother!"
"Enough is enough!
Ye Teng couldn't stand the Liu ghost crying wolf, her head hurt from her, and he glanced at Ye Qinxin, who was sitting on the side with blank eyes, and couldn't help but feel pain in his heart.
Since the Liu family returned in vain, she has always looked like this, in the end, she is her own daughter, she grew up watching her, and now seeing her like this, where can Ye Teng give up, but now that the Ye family is on the cusp, he can't ruin the whole family for his daughter!
"I know you want your daughter to enter the palace, but you can't rush it, now the eyes of the whole dynasty are staring at our family, if we have another accident, we will really become the laughing stock of others!"
"I think you just don't want to plan for your daughter! The last flower banquet was organized by Ye Wanying, that little slut, isn't it very simple to do it? This time, she planned with the Ministry of Rites, and our daughter will definitely be able to make a name for herself when she goes!"
Liu Shi listened to Ye Teng's words and couldn't help complaining, she firmly believed that there was absolutely no problem with the daughter she had raised.
"But how do you want our daughter to make a name for herself? It's a banquet for the envoys of other countries!"
"It's still arranged for our Qinxin to perform, I don't believe it, without Ye Wanying's little hooves to do her hands and feet, my daughter can't become a queen yet!"
But when Ye Qinxin heard this, she couldn't help but feel worried, and muttered with a small mouth: "However, the emperor has not allowed me to dance." ”
"So what? If you don't want to dance, let's play the piano! Just sing! Poetry! In this way, let's ask what the envoys of the Molie Kingdom like, and we will perform whatever they want, and we will always be in the limelight!"
Liu was originally able to do things calmly without arrogance, but this repeated defeat made her impatient, and when she spoke, her tone was quite impatient.
Ye Teng saw that the Liu family couldn't hold back now, and wanted to dissuade him, but it was useless to think that dissuasion, so he didn't open his mouth and went with her.
In the evening, in the imperial study.
Murong Jue dealt with government affairs again until this time, looking at the stack of folds on the table, Murong Jue estimated that it was too late to use this dinner, and at this time, a little eunuch walked in, and there was a bowl of corn rib soup in the food box in his hand.
"Why is it late today?"
"Back to the emperor, you instructed Imperial Concubine Ye to handle the state banquet, and the imperial concubine was busy and forgot the hour for a while, so this soup was delivered at this time. ”
The little eunuch replied, took out the soup bowl from the food box, and put it in front of Murong Jue.
Murong Du sniffed the fragrance of the soup, scooped up a spoonful and sent it to his mouth, the meat of the ribs was tender and elastic, and the taste of corn also penetrated into it very well, a piece of meat went down to the stomach, and in an instant, the fatigue of the day seemed to dissipate.
"She is not in charge of the state banquet, why does she still cook herself?"
"Niangniang said, that day you saw the soup made in the small kitchen and didn't like it, she thought that it was better to make it herself and send it to you, so as not to make it badly in the small kitchen. ”
Hearing the words of the little eunuch, Murong Jue was a little surprised, even if this soup was like Su Yang, just those words seemed to be something that Su Yang could say, and there was Su Yang's shadow everywhere in this Ye Wanying, which made him feel very strange.
But thinking that it was still useful to keep her now, Murong Jue sighed and said, "You go to the Moon Shadow Palace to reply, say that Tang Zhen has drunk, let Ruo'er stare at her to eat, and I will come over later." ”
"Yes!, the minion is going!"
