Chapter 1705: Gaining Weight All the Time

What's more, he is now Yunji's chief steward, which represents her status as the queen outside. Most officials have to give some face in front of him.

That he is willing to condescend to apologize to others is enough to show that he has really grown up and become mature and stable.

Gu Chengan lowered his head and said in a low voice: "In the past, the grassroots people were young and ignorant, and they did many wrong things. I can't live up to my empress. I only hope that I can be a good person and do good things in the future. Make up for the mistakes I made."

"If you're celebrating the New Year, you won't talk about this."

Yun Dai stood up and said, "I have to check on the preparations for the banquet now. You can go back. As for the banquet, the second steward will come with Sister Yun Wu. This account book will be left with me for the time being until I finish reading it. , ask someone to deliver it to you."

"Yes, my dear, the common people will leave."

The brothers bowed and left.

Yun Dai looked at the account book for a while.

A rough calculation shows that she has about 2.3 million taels of silver at her disposal now.

Three hundred thousand yuan was left as working capital and reserve funds for the business, and the remaining two million yuan was used half to support the King of Qin's army, and the other half to purchase some seeds and other urgently needed things for the spring of the Northern Qi people.

She planned the use of the money, then closed the account book and took Baoxing and Qingyi to Fengtian Hall to check the preparations for the banquet.

The palace has not held a large banquet for several years, so it is inevitable that it will be a little hectic.

Fortunately, nothing major went wrong.

Yun Dai walked around to confirm that there was nothing wrong, then returned to Fengyi Palace and began to change clothes and make up.

For such an occasion, she had to wear a formal queen's dress and a full phoenix crown.

Zhao Yuanjing sent someone to deliver a brand new set of phoenix robes and crowns.

He said he had prepared it early.

Yun Dai, with the help of Qing Yi and several other maids, took half an hour to finish dressing up.

After getting dressed, she looked in the mirror for a while and said with a smile: "Although it is a bit heavy and cumbersome, it looks really good."

Qing Yi smiled and said: "My queen is stunningly beautiful, no matter how you dress up she will look good."

Yun Dai raised her hand to touch her cheek and said, "Wrinkles will appear in a few years."

"It's the New Year, and I'm only nineteen. Even if it's another twenty years, I won't have wrinkles. Don't worry about that," Qing Yi pursed her lips and smiled.

Yun Dai asked her: "Qingyi, are you almost twenty?"

"Yes, this slave is turning twenty."

"In five more years, it will be time to send you out of the palace to get married."

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm just waiting by your side." Qing Yi's tone was very calm. "After Zi Yi goes, I won't have any family members anymore. This is my home."

Yun Dai smiled and said: "If you want to marry, you can marry, if you want to stay, you can stay. Everything is fine with me."

Qing Yi pursed her lips and smiled.

It was already evening. The emperor's relatives, princes, nobles, ministers and wives all entered the palace one after another and took their seats in the Fengtian Hall.

Xiao Ziliang came to see her with Jiaojiao, and she seemed to have gained weight.

Yun Dai said: "You've only been here today? You've gained more than ten pounds, haven't you?"

Xiao Ziliang chuckled: "Sister, you don't know, I have been eating in major restaurants in Kyoto these days. Sister, why didn't you tell me that our Dazhou food is so delicious? I really can't wait to stay. ”

"For the sake of stuttering, the people of your own country will not want you?"

Xiao Ziliang muttered: "We have all surrendered... Where is the country? Besides, the people of Northern Qi do not recognize me as their master..."
