Queen Ma was stunned and felt particularly comfortable.
Also, Zhu Bai has the ability to assist Zhu Biao properly.
In fact, she was also a little worried that Liu Bowen and the others were too strong and would control Zhu Biao in the future.
If Zhu Bai was here, I wouldn't be so worried.
At least Zhu Bai was beyond Liu Bowen's control.
But Zhu Bai is not a fuel-efficient lamp either.
Could it be that the front door drives away the tiger and the back door attracts the wolf?
She was lost in thought.
No one in the main hall dared to make a sound.
Concubine Hu Shun stood silently with her eyes lowered, waiting for Empress Ma to figure it out for herself.
Queen Ma smiled slightly and waved to Concubine Hu Shun.
Concubine Hu Shun stepped forward obediently.
Queen Ma took her hand and said, "How pitiful. You are so honest."
Concubine Hu Shun never said anything nice in front of Queen Ma, flattered her, or formed cliques. She never complained when she was bullied, and she never spoke ill of anyone. She came here every day to say hello honestly.
Her rank is not low, and she has a concubine who is close to the prince, so she just lives her life as an invisible person.
If it weren't for Zhu Bai, Empress Ma might never have noticed Concubine Hu Shun, let alone get to know her.
Concubine Hu Shun said softly: "I am a stupid person to begin with. With the empress in the harem working day and night and upholding justice, I can keep my nature with peace of mind."
Queen Ma's eyes were hot. Wasn't she the one who worked hard to ensure the safety of the harem?
Among these three thousand beauties, what kind of beautiful woman with deep thoughts is not there?
If she had the slightest bit of cowardice and fatigue, the harem would have been turned upside down long ago.
Empress Ma said seriously: "From now on, you can often come to Kunning Palace and help me teach the princes. I feel bored by myself."
This was not a polite and perfunctory remark, but she felt that it was really necessary for her to get closer to Concubine Hu Shun.
Concubine Hu Shun is much better than Concubine Li Shu and Concubine Sun.
She reused these two people. Firstly, Lao Zhu doted on them and she needed to show her generosity. Secondly, the abilities of these two people were really outstanding in the palace.
Concubine Hu Shun saluted: "I don't have the talent to teach the prince, so I can just relieve the boredom of the empress and chat with her about daily life."
Queen Ma said a few more words to her before letting her out.
After coming out of Kunning Palace, Concubine Hu Shun noticed that her back was chilly and she was drenched in cold sweat. She held her hands against the tree for a while, her heart palpitated and her eyes were dizzy. It took a while before she recovered.
She knew that she had just walked around the Gate of Hell and returned.
If there is any carelessness, not only her, but also Zhu Bai will be implicated.
She sighed softly: when Zhu Bai was naughty, she was worried that he would not be favored and worried about his safety.
Now that Zhu Bai was so favored, she was worried about making others jealous.
It's really difficult...
-----
Fugui told Zhu Bai verbatim everything that Queen Ma and Concubine Hu Shun said that night.
After hearing this, Zhu Bai secretly sighed: She is indeed my mother, she did a great job.
I saw Zhang Yu walking around outside.
Zhu Bai raised his eyebrows slightly.
This guy has been like an ant on a hot pot all day, hesitant to speak, what's going on?
Zhang Yu is an honest and hard-working person with good skills and good character. But sometimes he is too bored and often doesn't speak for the whole day and keeps everything in his heart.
Zhu Bai often leaves the palace. When he gets older, he may even go on tours in various places.
Zhang Yu, like Fu Gui, is an important confidant related to his safety. It would be a bad idea to have something on his mind that cannot be brought out.
Because maybe, someone is pinching Zhang Yu's weak point and forcing Zhang Yu to do something bad to him. Or Zhang Yu has committed something and is afraid that something will be exposed, so he has to escape in a hurry.
Zhu Bai tilted his head and asked Fugui: "Who is there in Commander Zhang's family?"
Fu Gui said: "I listened to him for a long time. It seemed like an old woman and her son. My wife died of illness a few years ago. She never renewed her relationship or took a concubine."
Zhu Bai frowned and said nothing.
On the morning of the next day, Zhang Yu disappeared, leaving only the deputy commander.
When I asked the deputy commander, he also said he didn't know what was going on.
Zhu Bai instantly became angry: It seems that these people still don't take me seriously. They removed the people in front of me and didn't even say hello or hit me.
If we don't take care of this group of people, how can we ensure our own safety in the future?
With a dark face, Zhu Bai didn't even go to court after breakfast, but went directly to the pro-army captain's house and kicked in the door.
Who is not afraid of death and comes to Lao Zhu’s personal guard Yamen early in the morning to kick around?!
The people on duty at the Imperial Guard's Mansion were so excited by the sound of the door being kicked that they all picked up their knives. When they saw it was Zhu Bai, they put the guy down again.
It's okay, it's okay. If this little King of Hell were like this, he could only say it was okay no matter what he did.
The leader on duty came over and timidly raised his hand to Zhu Bai: "Your Highness, what orders do you have?"
Zhu Bai asked murderously: "Tell me, who is the brave man who removed Zhang Yu?"
The foreman breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness is joking, who of your people dares to withdraw? It was Commander Zhang who resigned."
Zhu Bai looked confused: "Ang?!"
Impossible! When he was in the most difficult situation, Zhang Yu would always slack off or find another way out.
Now he wants power, power, and money. How stupid must Zhang Yu be to resign?
Then Zhu Bai turned around and left without saying a word, just as inexplicable as when he came.
Fugui could only silently apologize to the foreman, and then followed Zhu Bai.
In fact, there was a huge quarrel in the court today.
The focus of discussion was Zhu Bai.
But Zhu Bai didn't come, and he didn't even say hello.
Lao Zhu glanced at the empty seat from time to time: This guy definitely did it on purpose!!
The main point of everyone's quarrel right now is: It is inappropriate for the emperor to select talents directly from the Guanya Bureau!
Yanguan and the nobles of Huaixi rarely had the same opinion, and they took turns making impassioned speeches or earnestly persuading Lao Zhu to revoke his decree.
The censor said: "If things go on like this, no one knows that there is a prince or an emperor, and everyone in the world only knows that there is King Xiang."
The Minister of Civil Affairs said: "Your Majesty, even if you recommend talents, they must be recommended by senior officials in the court. Besides, these two people are both businessmen. This is a violation of the rules."
The more Lao Zhu listened, the more he felt that the reopening of the imperial examination should not be rushed. Otherwise, more people would scold him in the hall in the future.
Seeing that it was getting late, he said directly: "Heroes don't ask where they come from. We can use them if we want. You are so afraid because you are not knowledgeable enough and you are afraid that others will take away your jobs in the future."
When Yan Guan heard this, he became more and more excited: "I am familiar with classics and classics, how can I be afraid of these two young people who have not even passed the scholar examination?"
Lao Zhu sneered: "That's it. If anyone keeps nagging, let's make his position available. We just feel that the staff is too redundant and we want to lay off people."
Then the hall finally became quiet.
Lao Zhu fluttered his sleeves and walked away. As he walked, he asked Erhu: "Where did that brat go?"
Erhu said: "The King of Xiang kicked in the door of the Imperial Guard's Mansion in the morning, and then left the palace now."
Lao Zhu paused: "Ang? What kind of door is this traitor going to kick down?"
Erhu said: "It seems to be about Mr. Zhang Yuzhang's resignation."
Lao Zhu was also surprised and asked: "Zhang Yu resigned."
Erhu said: "Yes. He said that his mother was in poor health and needed someone to take care of her. I didn't agree and didn't have time to report it to the emperor."
Lao Zhu understood instantly: Zhu Bai must have thought that someone had removed Zhang Yu without his consent, so he went to find someone to trouble him. Then he found out that it was not the case, and now he left the palace to find Zhang Yu.
