Stop acting, Your Majesty, the queen knows you're faking it

Chapter 29
The news in the palace always spread quickly. The empress had diverted half of the money to the soldiers of the military camp. They already knew about it yesterday.

It was precisely because of the queen's reckless behavior that she could still get His Majesty's firm support, and even grounded Concubine Shu for this, so they rushed to Fengqi Palace, hoping to have a good relationship with Zhonggong.

As for whether they could help the queen organize the spring banquet, they hadn't thought about it at all.

It was the first time for the empress to do business, so she naturally had to make the banquet beautiful by herself.

If everything is handed over to others, then His Majesty asked later, how should she show off her talents to His Majesty?
But just now, she generously handed over the tea drinking to Concubine Qing.

Concubine Qing was overjoyed immediately: "I grew up in Jiangnan, and my mother is a tea master in Jiangnan, so I do have some opinions on Jiangnan tea. If the mother wants it, the concubine must prepare tea for the mother to choose!" "

"Okay." Chi Xinian nodded slightly, and ordered the people who were with Concubine Qing to help her, and then turned to look at Lin Jieyu, "Concubine Qing is in charge of tea, Lin Jieyu and Zhou Guiren are in charge of refreshments Bar.

"Let's discuss together, the refreshment should be made with the tea drink, so that the people who come to participate must taste the charm and eat comfortably."

"Yes." After receiving the order, Lin Jieyu smiled a little more.

Just now, Zhou Gui spoke freely and accused the queen of being rude, so she didn't give any hope at all.But in the blink of an eye, the queen entrusted her with the task of preparing refreshments... In this way, she finally had an explanation after returning...

Lin Jieyu secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and at the same time stretched out her hand and gently tugged on Guiren Zhou's sleeve, signaling her to pay more attention in the future, and stop relying on the empress' arrogance to make further progress.

This time, Zhou Guiren finally listened to the reminder.

Although he never thanked the queen seriously, he never argued with the queen again.

Mrs. Zhou was quiet, and the purpose of the other concubines was also achieved, and then, it was a few polite words and some gossip to end the meeting.

However, during the chat, Chen Meiren picked up another topic: "By the way, have you heard that Concubine Shu's elder brother was demoted?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the scene fell silent for a moment.

On the one hand, it is inconvenient to discuss politics in the harem, and on the other hand, it is really delicate to discuss this matter from the identity and standpoint of the people present.

But Chen Meiren's topic has already been opened, and it is impossible for everyone to pretend not to hear it, so helplessly, Concubine Qing, who is on good terms with her, said, "I've heard about this too, it seems... it's because he didn't do his job well, right?

"That's normal. Your Majesty is a person who values ​​ability. If he can't bear his responsibilities, it's reasonable to be demoted to one level."

It stands to reason that if Qing Concubine's words reach this point, the topic will be rounded up.

However, among the people present, Chen Meiren was not the only one who couldn't speak.

As soon as Concubine Qing finished speaking, Guiren Zhou sneered and said, "Your news is really unreliable. That Mr. Xue was demoted one level, it was clearly demoted three levels in a row!"

And with her news, Chi Xinian also became interested in this matter: "Dropped three levels in a row? What kind of big mistake did he make? He received such a heavy punishment?"

Dajing law is still tolerant, and the emperor and the aristocratic family also have a delicate balance point. If a major mistake is not caught, they will usually be fined with a salary and placed in confinement.

Downgrading to one level is not a common thing, these three levels...
