Yan Chujing always felt that it was a little strange for the queen's people to ask to see him at this time.

He couldn't tell what was wrong, but the tense feeling of being revealed by her yesterday suddenly came to me at this time.

He had a hunch that seeing Qingyun at this moment would definitely cause trouble for him

But Concubine Shu was watching from the side, if he didn't show his preferential treatment to the queen at the moment, then many of his previous designs and efforts would be in vain.

Gritting his teeth, Yan Chujing still asked Li Fusheng to let people in.

When Qingyun first entered the imperial study, she was also stunned when she saw Concubine Shu here.

She probably knew what kind of list the Empress had given her to His Majesty. If you discuss with Your Majesty in private, you may be able to know how to be courteous with emotion, but in front of the concubine...

Thinking of the scene where Concubine Waiting for Shu grabbed her mother's pigtails and made a fuss about it, Qingyun's eyes trembled unconsciously, and the action of kneeling and saluting was also stiff for a moment.

"You're here for the Spring Feast?" Yan Chujing keenly captures Qingyun's changes.

At the same time, the fingertips hidden in the big sleeves also secretly twisted the cuffs.

"Yes, yes..."Qingyun nodded stiffly, and then handed the list in her hand to Li Fusheng, "This is the list of banquet expenses roughly listed by the queen mother, and I also ask Your Majesty to take a look..."

"List? So fast? Yan Chujing's eyes crossed a dark color.

Can his queen be so concerned about this matter?

Why didn't he believe it?

Unless...

When Yan Chujing's thoughts turned sharply, Concubine Shu, who had long been unable to control her temper next to her, also came over directly: "The queen is moving quite fast, just right, the concubine is here to see what kind of good arrangement she gave His Majesty!" ”

Concubine Shu put down these words, Yan Chujing had to purse her lips and open the list hard.

The list is very simple, with a short list of less than 10 lines, and you can see all the entries in a single glance.

Yan Chujing, who had already realized that something was wrong, turned his eyes again, and his breath suddenly suffocated: "Did the queen leave a list?" This overhead... How is it only half of what it used to be? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, that's all for the list." Qingyun secretly glanced at Xue Shufei, and then looked at Yan Chujing's face, before she said cautiously, "The queen said that this spring banquet is not a New Year's banquet, it is extravagant and wasteful like in previous years, it is too much.

"Anyway, everyone just gathers to enjoy the spring scenery and sits, so just make two cups of tea and go to the lake to blow the wind.

"The money saved... The money saved can be used to subsidize the families of those soldiers in the barracks who sacrificed their lives for the country..."

The further back she spoke, the quieter Qingyun's voice became.

But because the room was too quiet, even if the sound was as small as a mosquito, the people present still heard it clearly.

When her words fell, Concubine Shu took the lead in laughing: "Ha, the queen is really good at calculating?" Can she save the money for a banquet in the palace and send it to the barracks?

"Wouldn't it take two years for her to run palace affairs like this, and the palace masters would only be able to wear patched dresses and eat bran and wild vegetables?"

As she spoke, she turned her eyes to look at Yan Chujing again, raised her chin and said, "Is this the stability that Your Majesty said?" Even if the banquet is held like this, Your Majesty can rest assured? ”

Yan Chujing: "..."

He also felt that Chi Xinian's arrangement was not appropriate.

If you want to subsidize the families of the soldiers, you can discuss separately, those people are all sacrificing their lives for the country, and he will naturally not be stingy. She directly embezzled the money from the spring banquet, didn't it make it difficult for him?
