Chapter 15: Killing Two Birds with One Stone

According to Mama Gui, Chi Xinian quickly figured out the origin of the spring banquet.

At the beginning, the spring banquet was just a dispensable banquet in the palace, and which concubine remembered it, and she could form a group at will.

Later, at a spring banquet attended by the first emperor, Concubine Xue, who was still a twenty-eight beauty, relied on her excellent dancing skills and performed a song of Ling Bo micro-steps, which made the first emperor call it wonderful. Since that time, the spring banquet has been specially assigned by the first emperor to be organized by Concubine Xue.

And because it happened to be the spring equinox on that day, the time for this banquet was also determined.

Later, the first emperor became more and more fond of the beauty beside him, and the position of the beauty was also promoted from Jieyu to the concubine, close to the queen. This spring feast is becoming more and more serious...

"It turns out that behind this spring feast, there is such a story." Chi Xi took a sip of new tea, and the corners of his mouth pursed a smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Chi Xinian asked again: "When the first emperor was here, this spring banquet was under the control of his concubine, so now that the new emperor is on the throne, this banquet is under the control of Concubine Xue, it is not appropriate, right?"

"Who is in charge of this feast in the palace now? But... Xue Shufei? ”

"Naturally, it was Xue Shufei who did it." Mama Gui didn't know what Yan Chujing and Chi Xinian had talked about separately before, and when she heard Chi Xinian ask this, she said as a matter of course, "Since Concubine Xue Shu entered the palace three years ago, Concubine Xue handed over this matter to her. She is also capable, she learned from her aunt two or three times, and then she mastered the trick, thinking that from this year onwards, this spring banquet should be hosted by her alone. ”

Hearing this, Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows again.

From this year onwards, it is time for Xue Shufei to take the lead and hold this spring banquet alone?

No wonder His Majesty would think of a way to put this matter in her hands.

Today, Concubine Shu put on a face and didn't come to Fengqi Palace to worship, so he wanted to punish him with this matter, and after being stopped by her, he deliberately handed over the matter that Concubine Shu was responsible for to her...

It seems that he not only wants to maintain the illusion of pampering her, but also provokes the conflict between her and Concubine Shu, and asks the Chi family to help him suppress the powerful Xue family.

What a plan to kill two birds with one stone!

This emperor, although he doesn't look very old, has a lot of plans in his heart!

Chi Xinian only thought about it for a while, and then figured out the key.

But after guessing Yan Chujing's thoughts, she was never angry about it.

In the past, the people of the Xue family faction were the main peace faction in the court, advocating land cession and compensation, and resting the people's livelihood, and they did not deal well with the Chi family, who advocated that those who offended our country's prestige would be punished even if they were far away.

With the relationship between the two families in the past, it was nothing for her to help Yan Chujing suppress the prestige of the Xue family. In addition, she also has something to ask him, and this matter can be regarded as a favor for him.

Chi Xinian thought about it, so he put down the teacup and ordered: "How was this spring banquet held in the past, you can go and find out for the palace." His Majesty specially explained today that this year's spring banquet will be organized by the palace. ”

"Your Majesty handed over this matter to Niangniang?!" When Mama Gui heard this, her face immediately turned happy.

A banquet is small, but it is about face.

His Majesty deliberately handed over this matter to the queen, and he gave this face to the queen!

As long as Niangniang does this well, then in the future, Niangniang's status in this palace will not be...

Seeing that the joy on Mama Gui's face became more and more intense, Chi Xinian said simply: "Mama is an old man in the palace, and I want to know a lot about this spring banquet." Why don't you leave the preliminary preparations for this banquet to Mama? ”
