Chapter 366: Refusal to operate
"This time, I really can't figure out the mind of this little fox..."Xue Qin squinted, and it was rare to admit that he was worse than Yan Chujingqi.
He didn't expect the shocked lady to come up with a good strategy for him.
After all, even he didn't know how to deal with this matter.
Let's take one step at a time.
Thinking like this, Xue Qin simply took out a pen and paper and quickly prepared a note.
After putting down the pen, he personally called the housekeeper and solemnly instructed: "Send this note to the post station and hand it over to the chief envoy of Beiyan." By the way, tell them that it's not that we don't want to help, but that the emperor's strategy is so ruthless that he even cut off his own retreat.
"We can't do anything about it, and we hope they understand."
"Yes, the old slave is going!" The housekeeper got the note and immediately quit the study to run errands.
Looking at his hurried departure figure, Xue Qin couldn't help but sigh again.
The sun is high, the clouds are light and the wind is light, today is clearly a warm and good weather, but he inexplicably feels that his back is a little cold.
He walked with great caution in his step-by-step manner.
What went wrong?
…
While Xue Qin was secretly frightened by what Yan Chujing said today, the rest of the people couldn't help but secretly restrain a little.
No one could see through the emperor's mind.
Naturally, they did not dare to act rashly.
And without them to help speak in the court, there would be no hope for the Lord of Yinyue County to enter the palace. However, the lord of Yinyue, who had not achieved his goal, did not return to Beiyan, but stayed in Kyoto with the mission, preparing to return to Beiyan after the Dragon Boat Festival.
…
"The preparation of the Dragon Boat Banquet is still handed over to you, how about it?" After solving the matter of the Yinyue County Lord, Yan Chujing couldn't help but relax a lot, and there were more smiles on his face.
Seeing that Chi Xinian came to Lingyun Palace to look for him, he told her about the Dragon Boat Festival with a smile.
"Not good." However, Chi Xinian refused without thinking about it.
She pushed the oily noodles she brought along the way to Yan Chujing, and then sat down on the soft couch on the other side of the low table in a casual posture: "I'm not interested in these things, and I don't do much to handle a glorious palace banquet.
"If Your Majesty treats me well, help me find a reason to push this matter off."
"Pushed? How does this work? Yan Chujing was stunned, "You are the queen...
"Besides, you did a pretty good job of running the banquet last time, didn't you?"
"Who decreed that the queen must be responsible for all the banquets in the palace? Since ancient times, aren't there many examples of favored concubines or virtuous concubines sharing the queen's worries? ”
Chi Xinian passed the chopsticks and ate a bite of his noodles before he continued, "Last time, you didn't let others do things for me, because you wanted to break the deadlock of the harem and succumb to Concubine Shu, and by the way, provoked me to fight with Concubine Shu."
"Now that you don't care about me again, Concubine Shu has also been suppressed in arrogance, why do you still hand over such a laborious thing to me?"
Yan Chujing was stunned by Chi Xinian's words, and after listening to it, he still felt that what she said was very reasonable.
After being stunned for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "Then who do you think should be entrusted with this laborious matter?" Lady? Find her something to do? Or Lin Jieyu? Suppress Concubine Shu's arrogance again?
"Leave it to Qing Concubine." Chi Xinian rejected the first two answers, and Wu Zi finalized one person, "Qing Concubine is stable and elegant, and she does things properly, let her do big things, I can rest assured."
"Moreover, she is not the murderer of the last banquet!"
