The moment he received the imperial edict, Ji Yunkai was stunned.
She originally thought that the Emperor wanted her to organize the banquet, but she only said it on the surface before she created one or two misunderstandings, causing people to mistake her for being married off. She still couldn't forget that the Emperor 'took the initiative' to help the Emperor organize the palace banquet.
"Princess, are you alright?" The personal guard standing at the side couldn't help but remind Ji Yunkai when she saw him holding the imperial edict in a daze.
Duke Ping pointed to the eunuch beside him and said, "This servant is the Chief Eunuch of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Zheng Mu. You can call him Eunuch Zheng."
Ji Yunkai nodded and did not speak. Instead, it was Eunuch Zheng who politely stepped forward and greeted Ji Yunkai.
Initially, Eunuch Zheng wanted to speak a few more words with Ji Yunkai to establish good relations with him, but Ji Yunkai did not cooperate, so after the greetings, he asked about the rules of the previous years in a businesslike tone.
Seeing that, Duke Ping sneered: "You don't have much skill and you put on airs quite big. I would like to see how much skill you have to be able to organize a palace feast."
"Duke, don't worry. I can definitely do what I did in the past." When the Emperor mentioned this mission, Ji Yunkai tried his best to search through the original owner's memories. Of course, although the original owner often assisted in the year-end palace banquet, they were all in charge of part of the palace together with the palace's mama. The original owner would not participate in other matters, so he did not have much experience in handling other matters.
"I, your highness, will wait." With these words, Duke Ping left with Eunuch Zheng.
Eunuch Zheng looked at Ji Yunkai with a smile that was not a smile before she left.
The personal guards of the Prince Yanbei's Mansion stood to the side, anxious to death. Some outsiders dared not speak up, but when Duke Ping and Eunuch Zheng left, they said worriedly, "Esteemed wangfei, this palace feast requires the assistance of the internal department. We only offended the people from the internal department not long ago. Is it going to work? "
Duke Ping brought this eunuch over, and said that he was here to help Ji Yunkai, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the eunuch was here to intimidate Ji Yunkai.
"No one dares to do anything at the palace banquet. Don't worry." Compared to the Internal Affairs Bureau's provocation, Ji Yunkai had a greater headache about the matters at the palace.
The palace was full of hidden secrets. Who knew if the emperor would do something to her? When the time came, even if she had a mouth, she wouldn't be able to say it clearly.
She had to think of a way to get rid of herself.
"Princess, is there anything we can help you with?" The personal guard saw that Ji Yunkai was frowning, and knew that this matter was not easy to handle, so he did not dare cause Ji Yunkai any trouble, and took the initiative to ask for some tasks.
"Yes. Help me find the palace feast of the past years, for the last ten years I have to. "In addition, help me deliver posts to the imperial concubines and the county consorts. I want to pay them a visit one by one." Didn't the Emperor say that she was completely in charge of this year's palace banquet?
So, she had the right to transfer anyone?
The personal guard's efficiency was extremely high. On the same night, the process of the palace banquet that was to be held over the past ten years had finally arrived. Ji Yunkai read by night, spent an entire night, and read nearly ten years of the palace banquet's process. Then, according to the process of previous years, she created a detailed division of labour chart, dissecting all the affairs and assigning them to individual people. She also confirmed the time of the person in charge.
After completing all of these tasks, Ji Yunkai wrote a thread for the clan princess, the county princess, and the elderly princess. She set the time one by one, and then visited each and every house.
When the people of the clan were in between the Emperor and Xiao Jiu'an, they would naturally side with the Emperor. However, even if they did not like Ji Yunkai, they would not embarrass him on the surface.
After Ji Yunkai came to her doorstep,he did not waste any time on idle chatter. Following the principle of being official, she directly told the other party that she was here to conduct the palace banquet following the orders of the Emperor.
Not giving her the chance to reject, Ji Yunkai took out the division of labor map that she had prepared beforehand, and showed her what she needed to do, one by one, with a clear deadline set for its completion.
"Your highness, I've already specified the details and the date. Please make your preparations in advance. If there's anything you don't understand, your highness, you can send someone to ask me." Ji Yunkai courteously handed over the certificate of responsibility.
Of course, these women were not to be trifled with, so Ji Yunkai rejected them immediately, but then …
If the woman in the clan didn't believe him, or if she directly didn't listen, Ji Yunkai would accept the responsibility and say, "Princess Consort, I have stated the time limit on it. Every three days, I will verify it with Princess Consort and then announce the results to the public. If the deadline is not met, I will post the progress of the matter to the city gate so that everyone in the capital will know about it."
"Impudent! Ji Yunkai, what do you take us for!" Hearing Ji Yunkai's words, a few of the princesses almost vomited blood in anger. Many of them directly slammed their hands on the table, saying that Ji Yunkai had messed up and they would not cooperate with him. They wanted to enter the palace to look for the Emperor.
"This is the matter that the emperor has entrusted to us. As wives of imperial concubines, it's no wonder that the emperor can't hand this matter over to an imperial concubine with another surname like mine." Ji Yunkai grinned and put a hat on her head, at the same time, she blocked the onlookers' suspicions, as well as any bad rumors that might happen.
Why did the Emperor order Ji Yunkai to host the palace banquet?
Naturally, it was not because they did not forget Ji Yunkai's old friendship, nor was it because Ji Yunkai and the Emperor still had feelings for him.
No matter what, the past could not be erased, and Ji Yunkai was also unable to erase the original owner's past. Regardless of whether the original owner was right or wrong, it was still her business now. Escaping could not solve the problem, so she could only face it.
Facing the threats of the various wangfei, Ji Yunkai's expression didn't even change. In fact, she was even secretly thinking: Go, go, it's best if you go twice a day, it's best if you bore the emperor to death …
