Chapter 169 The warmth and coldness of the deep palace
Everyone thought that the young prince Zhu Bai was going to be unlucky, but they didn't expect that not only was he fine, but he also pulled Concubine Li Shu down without saying a word.
Nowadays, no matter whether in the government or outside the palace, inside or outside the palace, Zhu Bai can do anything he wants to do!
The more I think about it, the more I realize that he is the scariest person in the world.
How terrible!
Because Zhu Bai acted in front of the Guan Ya Bureau to punish rape and eliminate evil, the Li family's incident not only did not damage the credibility of the Guan Ya Bureau, but made everyone trust Guan Ya Bureau more and more.
Those who took out the money yesterday deposited it back to the official bank, and the merchants who evacuated yesterday also returned.
When Zhu Bai recruited the fat man as an agent for the Guan Ya Bureau, he was effectively bringing the fat man under his protection.
The fat man stood at the door in his official uniform every day, smiling like a lucky cat, which was quite lovable.
Everyone knew that he had one against seven, so no one dared to cause trouble.
Now that the fat man is considered a member of the official family, the Li family is increasingly afraid to touch him.
Moreover, with the Li family's precedent, no one in the palace would dare to use evil methods to invade the army, horse, and official offices.
----
Ever since Concubine Guo Hui took the key, the situation in the palace has been turned upside down.
Those who used to please Concubine Li Shu now come to visit Concubine Guo Hui.
The temperament of Concubine Guo is somewhat similar to that of Empress Ma. She is gentle and kind, but she is actually stronger at heart.
If anyone comes to see her, she will not refuse them and will receive her politely.
Originally there were many chores in the palace, and Concubine Sun was disheartened, but now she doesn't care as long as Empress Ma doesn't call her.
She pushed back on the matters that had been under her control in the past and asked those people to ask Concubine Guo Hui.
Guo Huifei didn't know how the division of labor was done before. Anyway, if someone asked, she would write it down and deal with it.
Concubine Guo Hui finally got this situation and she was so exhausted that she did not dare to complain about being tired.
Seeing her silence, Queen Ma thought she could handle it, so she didn't interfere.
As a result, all the work done by the three people in the past fell on Guo Huifei.
Guo Huifei had no one to guide her and was afraid of making mistakes. She dealt with things every day and read the account books until early in the morning. She got up before dawn in the morning to say hello and continued to deal with things.
After thinking so hard, he fainted on the way to say hello to Queen Ma a few days later.
Empress Ma was frightened and frightened, so she quickly asked Concubine Guo Hui to have a good rest and called Concubine Sun over.
Concubine Sun also felt aggrieved and lowered her head.
Queen Ma sighed: "Oh, so are you. I asked Concubine Guo Hui to hold the key, but I didn't ask you to rest. Why did you become the hands-off shopkeeper?"
Concubine Sun whispered: "Concubine Guo Hui didn't ask me about it. It's not good for me to talk too much."
It was originally too.
Guo Huifei is the new favorite of Empress Ma and Lao Zhu. Unless Empress Ma speaks, or Guo Huifei asks herself. Otherwise, if she goes off to point her fingers, people will laugh at her for not knowing what is important.
Empress Ma said: "Well, she is still a little young. She only knows how to carry everything by herself and does not share the burden. So be it. From now on, you will be in charge of the overall situation and let her learn from you for a year and a half. From now on,
Let us know in advance depending on the situation."
Concubine Sun's heart beat wildly, she tightened her handkerchief, and weakly lowered her head: "I am afraid that I will not be able to do well because my talent and virtue are shallow."
Queen Ma laughed angrily: "Why do they all say this? You are here to be polite to me. You have been helping me for many years. How can I not know what your abilities are? Everyone refuses because they want to tire themselves to death.
me?"
Concubine Sun knelt down and said, "I don't dare."
Queen Ma handed the key to her: "Then it's all your fault."
Concubine Sun suppressed the pride and excitement in her heart, took the key and came out of Kunning Palace, walked to her bedroom in one breath, closed the door, leaned against the door and covered her mouth with a smile.
Unexpectedly, I had the last laugh.
Someone outside said timidly: "Mother, the Xixin Department has sent someone to ask for instructions."
Concubine Sun put down her hands, straightened her clothes, opened the door with a straight face and walked out, asking calmly: "What's the matter?"
The people from the Xixin Department hurriedly said: "I wish you a happy marriage."
News in the palace spreads quickly, so that we can easily know who is in charge of the key ledger, so that we can do things easily.
At this time, the twenty-four yamen already knew about Concubine Sun's rise to power.
Concubine Sun smiled: "No need to do it, it's not a big deal. If there is anything, report it quickly."
The person from the Department of Cherishing Xin said: "Empress Li Shufei is urging the distribution of this year's silver charcoal. The weather has been getting colder these days. I came to ask the empress to see if the distribution should continue?"
Because Lao Zhu has money in his hands this year, the Xinxian Secretary has already prepared the silver charcoal for heating this year.
It's just that Concubine Guo Hui hasn't had time to send out the silver charcoal these days.
Concubine Sun sneered secretly: Concubine Li Shu, I didn't expect that you would fall into my hands one day. In the past, you suppressed me everywhere, and you would always laugh at my slow reaction and call me stupid. Now I want you to taste something.
It's called staying under someone's roof.
She said calmly: "No need to be in a hurry. Let the princes and princesses stay in the palace first, and then the older ones who are pregnant. I will take my time with the rest."
Secretary Xi Xin immediately understood: Anyone can pay it, just don’t pay it to Concubine Li Shu first.
Because after all the calculations, there is only Concubine Li Shu who does not have a prince or princess by her side.
These lackeys who are accustomed to following the wind don't care whether Concubine Li Shu will be angry or not. Anyway, Concubine Li Shu has no power and is not afraid of being angry. They hurriedly salute: "I understand."
Concubine Li Shu's people over there didn't ask for the charcoal, so they went back and reported it to Concubine Li Shu.
Concubine Li Shu was so angry that she immediately went to see Concubine Sun.
Concubine Sun came out to greet her with a smile: "Oh, sister, why do you have time to see me?"
If Concubine Li Shu had followed her past behavior, she would have slapped Concubine Sun on her face before speaking.
But she also knows that today is different from the past, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves.
Concubine Li Shu said patiently: "It's getting colder and colder these days, and it's even frighteningly cold in my bedroom. If you want to send money, you should give it to me earlier."
Concubine Sun looked surprised: "Oh, didn't you send it to your sister? I asked the Xinxi Department to send it to you early in the morning. I must have forgotten these slaves. Don't worry, sister, I will send it to you immediately."
When Li Shufei heard that she might really be the slaves of the Xixin Division, she left without saying anything.
Sure enough, the Xixin Department delivered the charcoal in the afternoon.
I only had two bags of broken black charcoal. A small amount of this kind of charcoal would fill the house with smoke. Not to mention that the concubines did not use it in the palace. Even if they went to a slightly wealthy family outside, only the servants would use it.
Concubine Li Shu pointed at the charcoal and glared at the little eunuch of the Xixin Department: "You slaves, have you made a mistake? How dare you send me such charcoal."
The little eunuch of the Xixin Department bowed and said: "Our father-in-law in charge has said that the Queen and the Queen have all told us to be frugal. There is nothing else in the Xixin Department, so the Queen should make do with what she has."
Then he ran away without waiting for Concubine Li Shu to say anything else.
