After Lao Zhu left, the eunuch who held the seal kowtowed several times to Concubine Li Shu: "Your Majesty, please atone for your sins."
Concubine Li Shu is now back in power. If she holds a grudge, he will be in trouble in the future.
Concubine Li Shu smiled: "I don't blame you, it's not you who has the final say on this matter."
The palm eunuch glanced at Concubine Li Shu.
Why would he feel that Li Shufei has become more and more elusive after this time?
Although Concubine Li Shu was smiling, he didn't feel reassured, but more frightened.
-----
In the morning, Queen Ma served Lao Zhu breakfast.
Lao Zhu carefully observed Queen Ma, wondering how to tell Queen Ma about Concubine Li Shu.
After all, it was he who asked Queen Ma to remove Concubine Li Shu from her power.
Besides, Queen Ma has always been in charge of the harem, and he suddenly intervened...
I feel like I am doting on Concubine Li Shu too much.
Queen Ma gave Lao Zhu a fried egg and asked, "Your Majesty, why don't you eat it?"
Lao Zhu smiled: "Eat, you eat too."
Empress Ma said softly: "Yesterday the imperial doctor said that Concubine Guo Hui was pregnant. I think she is still very young and should not work too hard. Otherwise, let her rest for a few months."
Lao Zhu nodded while cheering and drinking porridge: "Okay, you can make the decision."
Empress Ma added: "As a result, I am short of people around me again. Concubine Li Shu has done a good job before and is familiar with the work. She has been resting for a few months. Why not let her do the work again."
Lao Zhu paused with his chopsticks and looked up at Queen Ma.
Does she know?
Also, everything in the harem will be reported to her, how could she not know?
Queen Ma had a smile in her eyes, without any sign of anger.
As expected, he is the one who understands us best...
Lao Zhu felt warm in his heart, nodded and said, "Okay, just make up your mind."

Concubine Li Shu came to pay her respects to Empress Ma in the morning. She was helped in by someone, and she walked a little staggeringly.
The other concubines secretly rolled their eyes: What are you pretending to be?! It was as if no one had ever been favored by the emperor.
Queen Ma's face was calm and there was nothing strange about her: "Sister, please get up."
Concubine Li Shu stood up with her head lowered.
Although Lao Zhu made no promise when he left in the morning, with Lao Zhu's temperament, he would never tolerate his woman being bullied.
So Lao Zhu will definitely come and tell Queen Ma.
If Queen Ma was not accurate, wouldn't it have exposed her usual pretense of being a good wife, loving mother, and being generous and tolerant?
If she was right, it would be difficult to get me off.
Queen Ma said: "Concubine Guo Hui is pregnant again, so she can't work too hard for the time being. During this time, she can only work hard for my sister."
The concubines have different expressions.
Concubine Sun was so angry that she clenched her hands in her sleeves.
Lao Zhu looked like he would never get close to Concubine Li Shu again.
She finally climbed up, thinking that she would not be in danger at least until Guo Huifei could take charge of herself.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Li Shu coaxed Lao Zhu to change his mind in just one night.
What a fox.
She was so angry.
Concubine Li Shu bowed her head and said: "As long as the empress needs me, I will never give up."
She sneered secretly: Haha, I'm back. You bitches who look down on me, just wait and kneel down to me.
Queen Ma stepped forward to help her up, put the key in her hand, patted her hand, and sat back: "Okay, everyone, please leave. Go and do whatever you need to do."
Then various female officials came up to report.
Li Shufei's aura returned instantly, and the matter was settled in three strokes, five divided by two.
Queen Ma, as before, listened silently.
After Concubine Li Shu finished dealing with it, she turned to Queen Ma and said, "I've finished dealing with my concubine."
Queen Ma seemed to wake up from her sleep, moved and said, "Ah, thank you for your hard work. Go down and have a rest."
Concubine Li Shu saluted, held her head high and left slowly.
Queen Ma stared at her back and smiled: Alas, you are still too arrogant in front of me, and you really don't have any memory. It seems that I still want to praise you to the highest level, otherwise I will make you fall to death.

After coming out of Qianqing Palace, Concubine Li Shu saw several people waiting for her on the roadside.
The concubines gathered around to express their thanks: "Congratulations, sister."
"It's great that my sister is back again."
Concubine Li Shu responded with a few words and walked back.
When passing by Concubine Hu Shun's palace, I caught a glimpse of Concubine Hu Shun taking Zhu Ju down the corridor to build a snowman in the yard and playing with a kitten.
She stopped and looked.
In the past, she often deliberately made things difficult for Concubine Hu Shun.
But Concubine Hu Shun was one of the people who didn't hurt her this time.
Not only that, when Concubine Hu Shun gave things to the concubines in the palace, she would never lose her share.
When they arrived at her place, Concubine Hu Shun still spoke in the same soft voice and gentle manner as before. She didn't mention anything about the last time she shamelessly asked for silver charcoal, as if nothing had happened.
At this moment, she gained power again, and Concubine Hu Shun didn't seem to have any intention of coming over to build relations.
Although she still doesn't like Concubine Hu Shun, she doesn't intend to regard her as an enemy.
There is no need to waste time dealing with such a person who has no desires and desires and doesn't know how to put down others and praise others.
After Concubine Li Shu dealt with these people, she caught a glimpse of Concubine Sun coming out of Queen Ma's Palace, standing there pretending to look at wintersweet, waiting for her to approach.
Concubine Sun didn't panic at all and approached with a smile: "Oh, congratulations to my sister for regaining control of the harem."
Concubine Li Shu grabbed her hand with a smile and said, "Yes, it's thanks to your care this time."
Concubine Sun's heart went crazy, she said a few nice words and left quickly.
-----
Queen Ma was listening to the female officials and eunuchs reporting to her on the preparations for the New Year.
The palace servants came to report that Princess Lin'an had returned to the palace.
Although Princess Zhu Jingjing of Lin'an was born to Concubine Sun Guifei, she was the eldest daughter of Lao Zhu. She was well-behaved and sensible, and helped Empress Ma take care of her younger siblings, so she was deeply liked by Empress Ma.
Empress Ma also treated her as one of her own, so she was naturally happy to see Zhu Jingjing come back to see her.
Zhu Jingjing chatted with Queen Ma for a few words, then stopped talking.
Queen Ma smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it. Is there anything else we two can't say?"
Zhu Jingjing whispered: "My father said that the prince-in-law didn't write a note to greet him when he was sick. But the prince-in-law told me that he did."
Empress Ma smiled: "Don't believe everything a man says. Besides, your father will not accuse him unjustly."
She also heard about this and was quite angry.
Maybe Li Shanchang and the others just forgot and wanted to make up for it at this time, so they said this.
It's just that it's hard for her to expose.
Zhu Jingjing frowned and said, "What if my father is always angry?"
Empress Ma was so amused that she reached out and poked her head: "Oh, we've only been married for a long time, and now I only have him in my heart. Isn't it possible that your father can lower his rank and make you suffer?"
Zhu Jingjing thought for a while and smiled: "That's right. At most, I won't punish him by scolding him a few times. Then let him go. Anyway, he is thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It doesn't matter if he gets scolded a few times."
