He had a lot of exchanges with Guan Zhiwei in private.
Especially after Su Zhenting, Zhou Ping'an and others joined later, Xu Changqing realized that his status as a senior figure in the East Palace could not be guaranteed, so he had more interactions with Guan Zhiwei.
Now that it was clear that Guan Zhiwei was Zhao Xuanji's person, he still couldn't figure out whether His Highness also suspected him.
After much thought, Xu Changqing had no good solution.
Take the initiative to explain, it means there is no three hundred taels of silver here.
If you don't explain it, this matter is just a knot in my heart.
In the end, Xu Changqing swallowed his grievances and said goodbye.
After taking a look at Xu Changqing's back, Li Chen shook his head and said to Wan Jiaojiao: "No need to rub it. Go and call Xu Junlou."
"Why."
Wan Jiaojiao responded crisply and stepped away.
Soon, Xu Junlou hurried to Xi Zheng Hall and knelt down to salute.
"The humble minister Xu Junlou has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Um."
Li Chen responded with a sound in his nostrils, lowered his head to deal with official duties, and said casually: "Are you still used to working in the East Palace these days?"
Xu Junlou responded quickly: "Reporting to Your Highness, I was a little uncomfortable at first, mainly because I have never been exposed to similar work, but Wei Chen is studying hard."
"Yes, Wan Jiaojiao also told me that you got started quickly, and other people in the East Palace also have quite positive comments about you."
After Li Chen finished processing a memorial, he raised his head and continued to Xu Junlou: "The position of Zhan Shifufu Cheng is not of high rank, but you need to handle all the trivial matters in the East Palace.
, more like a housekeeper in an ordinary wealthy family, I have entrusted the East Palace to you, and you have to take good care of it."
Anyone with a normal IQ knows how to speak at such times.
Xu Junlou immediately responded: "I will do my best to live up to His Highness's trust."
Nodding, Li Chen added: "Your background is different from that of Fu Minqing and the others. You lost your father and your mother. If you hadn't met a good uncle, you would never have had your current future, so you have to keep this kindness in mind."
It’s in my heart.”
Without waiting for Xu Junlou's reply, Li Chen continued: "On the day I went to your home, your aunt was virtuous and left a very good impression on me. Today, I will give you an edict.
, naming your aunt the fifth-grade imperial wife is to spread the word widely, encourage and praise you and Xu Changqing for treating you as one of their own, and secondly, it is also a reward for your kindness."
"Although the natural disaster has passed, there are still many victims who have been displaced due to natural disasters. Many of them are orphans whose parents have died and are helpless. These orphans can only rely on their relatives to raise them. The court needs to encourage this kind of disaster.
Raising one's children not only shows human relations, but also expresses blood ties."
Xu Junlou was overjoyed when he heard this.
The fifth-grade imperial wife is not an official, let alone a power, but it is a kind of reward.
Throughout this dynasty, His Highness the Crown Prince only granted such an honor to the mother of the Crown Prince's concubine, and now the wife of Zhao Heshan, the Chief Envoy of Xishan Province.
And this is mostly for Zhao Rui's sake.
As for the relationship between the harem and the harem, none of the ministers can get such an honor.
This represents the prince's affirmation and trust in the Xu family, which is a supreme favor.
