Su Mian was holding a thick roster in his hand, which contained a detailed list of slave female officials in various palaces and courts, and after a few glances, he felt dizzy and complained helplessly.

Gu Zhixing knew that this was indeed embarrassing for Su Mian, a person who usually couldn't even read the account book, so it could be seen that it was indeed not easy for her to help the emperor rectify the harem now.

But no matter if this matter is done by anyone else, let alone the emperor, even Gu Zhixing himself will not be at ease.

Instead of handing it over to the uneasy people to rectify it first, and then taking the trouble to check it again, it is better to accompany Su Mian to handle this matter well, and then the emperor will be at ease in the harem, and Gu Zhixing will not have to worry about other party informants who have been eyeing him.

"I've roughly checked the minions of each palace, and for those who are problematic at first glance, I've almost been kicked out of the palace, and the rest are either hidden deep or safe enough."

Looking at Su Mian's sad face, Gu Zhixing handed Su Mian another roster again, although it was the same person, many names on it had been crossed out. Su Mian was very surprised. Obviously, Gu Zhixing seems to accompany him all day long, but now he seems to have done a lot silently.

Although he knew that Gu Zhixing did this, not only because he was worried that he would not be able to handle this matter well, but also because he was worried about the emperor, Su Mian was still quite surprised, and he didn't sigh like he did just now.

"Actually, I think it's okay, this task of rectifying the harem is handed over to the prince, and the prince must be better than me. I'm just taking on this responsibility on the surface now, and I'm afraid I'm going to trouble the prince if I do more. ”

Su Mian stuck out her tongue embarrassedly and said the careful thoughts in her heart. Gu Zhixing didn't care very much, in his opinion, Ah Mian could only do more than himself, she had always been too modest.

Su Mian is now following Gonggong Zhang and walking through the three palaces and six courtyards, and now the palace people know that they and the prince are here, at least on the surface, there is no big mistake, but it can also be easily seen from some details that they really exude some.

"Father-in-law Zhang, it turns out that the public has rules, you should do what you want, and you must act according to the rules. Before, I was afraid that the emperor would not be able to take care of it, and he would turn a blind eye to everyone, and in the future, the stewards of the palaces should lead by example, if there is a violation of the palace rules, they must be severely punished! ”

Su Mian rubbed her temples that were a little swollen, there were too many things to deal with today, and after looking around, the first thing she thought of was this, so she could only order like this.

Gonggong Zhang hurriedly nodded yes, these palace rules are naturally there, and as Su Mian said, it is because no one has taken it seriously for too long, so now the palace people are so casual.

Now batch after batch of palace people are listening to Su Mian's orders with low eyebrows, of course, there are some who can't bear it, and pretend to look up at Su Mian inadvertently several times.

Su Mian was really a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she didn't give them a ride as soon as she came, but once again emphasized that everything should be driven according to the rules.

Gonggong Zhang is now the emperor's confidant, and he is naturally happy to see Su Mian doing his best. But Su Mian always felt that something was missing, maybe he couldn't think of it for a while, so he still had to ask him more.

"I heard the prince mention before that there are still a few concubines and princesses in the palace, and now where they live, we haven't been to see it, and I asked Gonggong Zhang to show me the way, and I still want to let these masters in the palace also help me."

Su Mian put away the roster, and now these palace maids in front of her look the same, Su Mian can't see any tricks for a while, so she can only order strict palace rules first, and see who doesn't follow the rules during this time, and then you have to carefully investigate.

But on the other hand, Su Mian wanted to be able to ask for foreign aid, although he was sad when he saw the emperor mention that there were still a few people in the palace who could be regarded as masters, Su Mian didn't want to give up so early.

Now that he heard what Su Mian said, Gonggong Zhang suddenly showed a look of embarrassment, and looked at Gu Zhixing behind Su Mian in embarrassment. Su Mian didn't understand what this meant, and could only look back at Gu Zhixing suspiciously.

"Grandpa Zhang is worried now. I'm afraid those concubines don't want to help you either. After all, now the first emperor in the palace has left a few maidens, either who are too old to take care of things, or,"

Gu Zhixing's tone was also a little helpless at this time, and when he said this, he paused and didn't continue for a while. Su Mian was indeed interested, and Gu Zhixing had not mentioned it in detail to him before.

But now I really can't do so many things by myself for a while, and it is naturally normal to want to consult these old people in the palace.

Seeing that Gu Zhixing wanted to speak and stopped, Su Mian simply asked Zhang Gonggong directly, anyway, that's all here, what else is there to hide?

"Or what? Father-in-law Zhang, just tell me, if these concubines can still help, it is not a trivial matter to rectify the harem now, I still want to ask them to go out of the mountain to help me. ”

Adjusting Su Mian's earnest expression now, although Grandpa Zhang was a little big-headed, he had to bite the bullet and complete the half of the sentence that the prince had not finished.

"Now I can still help the girl, I'm afraid there is only one Concubine Qi left. It's just that this concubine was originally a military general, but his father and brother all died in the war a few years ago, and then his temper became more and more eccentric. ”

Gonggong Zhang's laughter was more ugly than crying, Su Mian seemed to understand after hearing it, there were indeed more wars in the Western Sage in the early years, maybe this Concubine Qi thought of the death of her father and brother, and she was more or less blamed on Gu Zhixing. Therefore, when Gu Zhixing just mentioned Concubine Qi, he was slightly embarrassed.

Since no one else can help, only this Concubine Qi is a sober-minded person, now that the emperor has gone, she is also the master of a palace in the palace, so she should take care of something, Su Mian felt that she still wanted to try her luck.

"Then let's do it, Lord Wang, I'll let Gonggong Zhang take me to see the concubine Qi first, and then don't go. If the concubine sweeps me out of the house as soon as she sees you, then I really have no choice. ”

Seeing that Su Mian was determined to go to Concubine Qi for help. Gu Zhixing had no choice but to do what she arranged. Indeed, there should be someone who already understands to help Su Mian, so that Su Mian can do better.

All he can do is use his identity and power to temporarily suppress some demons and monsters, and the rest, I'm afraid I can only rely on Su Mian to think of more ways by himself.

That Concubine Qi Gu Zhixing was more or less impressed, although she didn't meet many times, especially when the other party saw her in the back, she gritted her teeth, but she shouldn't be a dangerous person, and she could be considered reasonable. What's more, now that there are a group of subordinates such as Gonggong Zhang, Gu Zhixing finally nodded and agreed.

"That's okay, I'll go to the imperial study to discuss the specific matters of the academy with the emperor, if you encounter something or want to find me, come to the imperial study, and I will wait for you to go back to the palace together."

Seeing that Gu Zhixing finally agreed, Su Mian also nodded hurriedly, and then followed Gonggong Zhang to ride in the sedan chair again. Go to the bedroom of Concubine Qi at the other end.

The Liuyun Palace, where Concubine Qi lives now, looks a little deserted, both in terms of terrain and current decoration. It's not a very lively place in the harem. After all, according to the rules, those magnificent palaces have to be prepared for future concubines at any time.

Seeing that the concubines left by the former emperor can still stay in the palace and enjoy their old age, it is already a gift from the emperor, so this Concubine Qi has a strange temperament, and she has not lost her temper because she lives in Liuyun Palace now, which Su Mian heard from Gonggong Zhang along the way.

After entering the door of Liuyun Palace, Su Mian smelled a faint scent of sandalwood, and sure enough, it was. When I saw Concubine Qi, she was dressed in plain clothes, with Buddhist beads twisted in her hands, it seems that even in this magnificent harem, she is eating fasting and reciting Buddha.

"I've seen Concubine Qi, and the spirit of not seeing Concubine Qi for a few days is still so good, this is Miss Su Miansu. It was arranged by the emperor before, and now he is the one who has come to help the emperor rectify the harem. ”

Father-in-law Zhang smiled all over his face, and first mentioned Su Mian to introduce him. Su Mian couldn't help but be a little nervous in his heart, he didn't know if Concubine Qi had heard of his relationship with Gu Zhixing before, but just after seeing Gonggong Zhang finish saying his name, Concubine Qi looked up and down from the beginning, and was suddenly a little surprised.

"You are the Su Mian mentioned by the emperor before? I heard that you are the third princess of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, and I think that when the emperor was still there, he invited the monarchs of the other two countries to go on the grounds of a birthday banquet, and I was fortunate to meet your father once, and now he is in good health? “

To Su Mian's surprise, although Concubine Qi looked a little indifferent, but now after listening to what Gonggong Zhang said, she suddenly asked like this, just from the content of her question, Su Mian was still a little embarrassed, feeling that Concubine Qi seemed to be an ordinary kind elder.

So the concubine had just finished asking, Su Mian nodded busily, and smiled very sweetly, "Back to the concubine, my father's health has been good in recent years, although some old problems occasionally recur, but it can be regarded as a good spirit." ”

Su Mian originally saw that Concubine Qi was willing to greet her, and she was happy in her heart. But who knew that after she answered like this, Concubine Qi suddenly sank her face, and her eyes when she looked at Su Mian suddenly became unfriendly.

Such a sudden change. Su Mian was confused, at a loss, and didn't know what to say.

"Oh, this palace remembers, I listened to Gonggong Zhang's introduction before, and I only thought about your identity as the third princess of the Northern Yuan, and now if this palace is not mistaken, I heard that the reason why you will stay in Xisheng is because the regent has taken a fancy to you, right?"

Sure enough, when Concubine Qi mentioned the regent, her eyes were prickly.
