Although everyone was puzzled as to why Qian Ruoyu was standing there, they were still busy with their own affairs.
Within half an hour, everyone was ready, and one by one they started carrying pots of vegetables and sent them to various parts of the palace.
Then all the underlings came back, and they all sat on the big table in the dining room, and everyone started to prepare for dinner.
But Qian Ruoyu was still standing there, which frightened everyone even more, and everyone began to feel a little scared.
Everyone was in a panic, not knowing where they had done something wrong, which made the princess very dissatisfied.
Then, as the chef of the dining room, Fatty Wang walked over to Qian Ruoyu.
"Mother, what happened? Why are you standing here all the time? Why don't you come and have some too?"
Qian Ruoyu said with a smile.
"You guys should eat first. While eating, I have something to announce."
Hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, Fatty Wang also returned to his seat.
Finally, when everyone was eating, Qian Ruoyu also spoke.
"Everyone performed well in the birthday banquet, and the birthday banquet was successfully completed. This time, the old lady was very happy."
Hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks and applauded Qian Ruoyu one by one.
After all, they will not consider that it has a big factor with them now. Without the busyness of everyone in the dining room, there is simply no way to complete it.
Qian Ruoyu continued.
"Actually, this matter is not just my fault, it has a lot to do with you all. Without the joint efforts of all of you, this birthday banquet would not have been such a huge success, so I decided to do it for everyone.
Have a celebration party."
After suddenly hearing this sentence, everyone just picked up the bowls and chopsticks and put them down in a hurry.
After all, no one had ever heard of such a thing as a celebration banquet in the dining room before.
As the saying goes, a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen, and there is basically no such celebration banquet in a place like the dining room.
Therefore, after hearing Qian Ruoyu say such words, everyone's eyes became confused, and their faces became a little surprised.
"It will be at noon tomorrow. We will prepare a sumptuous lunch for the entire palace at noon tomorrow. We will also hold our own celebration banquet. Then we will let you have a good meal of delicacies from the mountains and seas. I will treat you to this!"
Hearing what Qian Ruoyu said, everyone's eyes seemed to have a glow of light, especially Fatty Wang who patted the table and said.
"Okay, empress!"
After all, the dining room was originally used to cook food for the entire palace. Although the celebration banquet also involved eating, and it was cooked by oneself, it was still very delicious for them to be able to eat some delicacies from the mountains and seas.
After Qian Ruoyu made the announcement, everyone nodded.
Qian Ruoyu also came to Fatty Wang, and asked Zhang Ma and Wang Po to come too.
"You guys, let's discuss the ingredients for tomorrow's celebration banquet today. You can order whatever you want to eat. Just ask someone to go to Caishikou in the afternoon to prepare it. No matter what kind of delicacies it is, you can order it, even if it's bear paw.
The princess will also make arrangements for you!"
Hearing this, Fatty Wang took a breath.
He is well aware of the high price of bear paws. After all, as a chef, he knows how precious bear paws are.
But Qian Ruoyu's words completely let Fatty Wang know that Qian Ruoyu wanted to be serious this time.
Therefore, Fatty Wang nodded immediately, and Zhang Ma and Wang Po on the side also nodded quickly.
Just after that, Qian Ruoyu returned to Yueya Pavilion, and the five maids had also successfully returned to Yueya Pavilion.
Yan'er said to Qian Ruoyu just after she came back.
"Mother, we saw the prince when we came back."
Just one sentence, but Qian Ruoyu immediately became frightened and said with great concern.
"what happened?"
Yan'er said quickly: "Don't worry, empress, you don't have to be so nervous. Although we saw the prince, he didn't notice it at all. At that time, the prince seemed to have just come out from the door of the Ministry of Household Affairs with someone, and then he
Rushing to the Ministry of War Yamen."
After hearing these words, Qian Ruoyu suddenly realized and felt much relieved.
She thought the maids had been caught by the prince.
But Yan'er continued to speak.
"The prince's situation seems to be a little bad. When the prince left the door of the Household Department, the expression on his face was not very exciting. As for what happened specifically, I don't know..."
Qian Ruoyu thought about it for a while.
Now the prince may be about to set off the army, and before that the prince also said that the army's departure and operation of the army require a large amount of money.
And among the six yamen that can come up with money, only the Hu Department is the only one!
Only when the Ministry of Revenue allocates money can we start the war.
But in addition, orders from the Ministry of War are needed before the prince can dispatch the army.
If the Ministry of War does not issue an order, the soldiers of several large battalions in the capital will just stand still. Should the prince be allowed to go to the border with so many thousands of soldiers and horses?
Therefore, Qian Ruoyu immediately figured out that the reason why Chu Mobai came out of the household department was because he wanted money, and if his face looked bad, it was probably because he failed to get money.
And Chu Mobai has now gone to the Ministry of War, and it seems that he is going to apply for a transfer order.
If Chu Mobai couldn't even get the transfer order from the Ministry of War, wouldn't it be troublesome?
Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu decided to go to the Ministry of War in person to see what the situation was like.
But just after Qian Ruoyu expressed her thoughts, Yan'er said nervously.
"Your Majesty... you are making a dangerous move now! My Majesty, as the princess of the palace, you cannot be involved in politics. If Wang Ye knows your thoughts, he will definitely be angry, and once the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty hear about this
This kind of thing... I dare not say what will happen when the time comes!"
"There are hundreds of people in the Ministry of War yamen. If you go like this, you will definitely be misunderstood as being involved in politics..."
After Qian Ruoyu heard this, she felt a little confused.
After all, Qian Ruoyu was only thinking about how to help Chu Mobai before, and was not thinking about the so-called interference in politics at all.
But if you just go to the Ministry of War Yamen, you may really be misunderstood by others as wanting to get involved in politics.
The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, let alone a princess like her.
Thinking of this, Qian Ruoyu felt a little confused. Even this kind of thing could not help Chu Mobai. Wouldn't Chu Mobai have to worry alone?
But at this moment, Qian Ruoyu suddenly thought of an idea and said directly to Yan'er beside him.
"Yan'er, go to the dining room and prepare a bowl of chicken soup. If Black Peony can deliver chicken soup, why can't I?"
Yan'er was immediately surprised and said, "Ah, your Majesty, what do you mean..."
Qian Ruoyu nodded solemnly.
"That's right, I will send chicken soup to the prince now!"
