Chen Su is usually a person who doesn't care about worldly affairs. Now she not only asks about worldly affairs, but also praises Jiang Huan so highly. It's not difficult for people to wonder whether Jiang Huan actually has some ulterior secrets behind her.
For example, in the case of Concubine Ru, there are many rumors saying that it was actually the evidence that Jiang Huan captured that suddenly captured Concubine Ru.
From this point of view, this rumor is true. Jiang Huan not only helped Chen Su eliminate Concubine Ru, but also found Feng Yin for her.
They originally thought that the Jiang Kingdom was a barbaric land, and the fifth princess of the Jiang Kingdom must also be a barbarian woman with little knowledge. However, they never thought that barbarian women could not be said to be smarter than many other women in the harem.
Quite a few.
If such a woman becomes a princess, it will be much easier for them in the future.
Jiang Huan knew that Chen Su's move was to establish his authority among the officials before marrying into the prince's house.
But the last thing Jiang Huan should do at this time is to establish his authority among so many powerful officials.
It's too ostentatious and it's hard to pave the way back.
Jiang Huan held Chen Su's hand and said with a little embarrassment, "The queen is so complimentary. I am just an ordinary woman and cannot bear such kindness."
After saying that, Jiang Huan reached out and held Chen Su's hand, indicating with his eyes that she didn't need to do this.
It's just that this time Chen Su was determined to make Jiang Huan famous in one fell swoop. Regardless of Jiang Huan's wishes, he just pushed Jiang Huan forward, as if he wanted to introduce Jiang Huan to everyone.
Before Chen Su could do this, Chen Ruyi took Jiang Huan's arm first and shook her head, "Mother, if it's something Ah Huan doesn't want to do, don't force her."
As soon as Chen Ruyi opened her mouth, Chen Su lost the confidence to speak and could only watch the two of them enter the waterside pavilion holding hands like a young couple on their honeymoon.
Little did they know that Jiang Huan tried to get rid of Chen Ruyi's hand, but after trying secretly for a long time, he couldn't even move one of Chen Ruyi's fingers.
"Don't move, if you don't want to continue to be pushed in front of others for introductions." Chen Ruyi warned in a low voice.
Chen Ruyi's words finally had an effect, and Jiang Huan's movements that had been quietly struggling just now stopped.
She silently glared at Chen Ruyi, warning him not to make any more moves, but Chen Ruyi curled his lips and pulled her to him with a smile.
Next to Chen Ruyi is a fine pear wood armchair, embellished with rubies. Under the background of a little sunshine, you can even see the luster reflection of some snowflakes.
Jiang Huan had heard that this chair was a treasure of Fengluan Hall. Only the Queen Mother had taken it out when she visited Fengluan Hall.
Today, it was put out for Jiang Huan's use.
Jiang Huan was hesitant and didn't know whether to sit down.
If he sat down, it would appear that he was on the same level as the Queen Mother. However, Jiang Huan knew very well that if he raised his initial status to this level, he would have to deal directly with these powerful ministers in the future.
Jiang Huan's originally hesitant heart paused.
Powerful minister?
If I could directly take back part of the power that originally belonged to Concubine Ru, wouldn't I be able to directly add a lot of power to the Prince's Mansion?
Concubine Ru's power is enough to make the Prince's Mansion grow rapidly and make everyone fear her.
Jiang Huan thought for a long time and decided that he should directly grasp the power of these powerful officials at this banquet.
She didn't want to take the opportunity that came to her door.
Jiang Huan indicated with his eyes that he had heard what Chen Ruyi meant, pulled out his chair and sat next to Chen Ruyi.
This chair made of pear wood looked particularly dazzling against Jiang Huan's clothes, and all the powerful officials could not take their eyes away from it.
"Look, isn't that chair only made by the Queen Mother? Why is it now her turn to be made by a princess from another country?" one of them said.
"No, I said, the queen got rid of Concubine Ru this time just to give the princess a chance to build momentum in front of us."
"It seems that Chen Guo's harem is about to change."
The powerful officials chattered non-stop, but the moment they saw Chen Su's face darken, they immediately fell silent again.
Although the queen usually does not care about worldly affairs, once she gets angry, no one knows what she will do. After all, there was the example of Concubine Ru first, and none of them want to follow Concubine Ru's footsteps.
Chen Su nodded with satisfaction as Jiang Huan took his seat, and then announced the start of the banquet.
This banquet was obviously to honor Jiang Huan. In fact, everyone knew that Chen Su wanted to announce Jiang Huan's status.
Not only were all the food served at this banquet loved by Jiang Huan, but even the decorations on the waterside pavilions were arranged according to Jiang Huan's wishes.
In order to prepare for Jiang Huan's birthday banquet, the Queen worked very hard.
"I invite you all to come today, firstly to congratulate my good daughter-in-law Jiang Huan on her birthday, and secondly to quell the chaos caused by Concubine Ru." Chen Su raised his cup high and said to everyone.
"Concubine Ru secretly stole the Phoenix Seal first. After being arrested, the guards found a military distribution map of the palace in his palace. This map was only owned by a few people in the Chen Kingdom. This time it appeared in Concubine Ru.
In your hands, the emperor and I accept the suspicion that this map has been leaked by the inner ghost." Let's talk, Chen Su raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, looking quite bold, and it seemed that he was not disturbed by the theft of the troop distribution map at all. First, his emotions were disturbed.
But this statement caused a lot of reactions from everyone in the audience.
This force distribution map covers not only the distribution of guards in the Chen Kingdom's harem, but also the exact locations of the troops distributed on the four city walls and dangerous areas. It would be unthinkable if they fell into the enemy's hands.
Concubine Ru already has a copy in her hands. It is not difficult to explain that the inner ghost already has a backup in her hands.
Now that Concubine Ru is dead, the inner ghost must be on guard. It would be extremely difficult to find out the inner ghost again.
Jiang Huan finally understood that Chen Su's banquet today was not to highlight Jiang Huan's future status in the Prince's Mansion, but was actually just using the name of the banquet to entertain the inner ghost, thus trying to catch a turtle in an urn.
Previously, Jiang Huan only thought that Chen Su didn't care about worldly affairs and would not care about these political intrigues. However, he didn't expect that Chen Su had already planned everything in his mind.
Jiang Huan looked around at the various expressions of the people in the audience, but her heart felt different. She thought, if Chen Su had prepared everything, then her bodyguards would have been hidden in this banquet.
Catching the thief is naturally a good thing, but if she fails to do so, she, Jiang Huan, may be blamed for this disaster.
