At this time, Changle Palace.

Since Zhu Jiu didn't take Hanmei and Luo Zheng away when she left, now these two people stayed in Changle Palace to guard the palace gate for her, and no one inside had ever come in and touched the things inside.

He Hongying wanted to enter Zhu Jiu's room several times before, but was stopped by Hanmei, and Luo Zheng was watching from the side, he was also a master, even if He Hongying was strong in martial arts, it was not good to directly conflict with him in the palace.

Therefore, when she suddenly saw Zhu Jiu coming back, Han Mei only felt like she was in a dream, and she rubbed her eyes to confirm that there was no problem, and then ran to Zhu Jiu with cheers, "Master, you are finally back!" Great!"

The master was not in the palace during this time, she was particularly unaccustomed to that He Hongying, and always used the excuse to contact the emperor, even if the emperor had already expressed his dislike for her, she didn't seem to be able to see it, and she must go to His Majesty's side.

Zhu Jiu changed out of the court clothes on her body, only wore a scarlet brocade robe, and rubbed her hair, "Why did you come outside?" It's hot outside, go in and talk."

Originally, I thought that the inside of Changle Palace would be cooler than the outside, after all, the sun in May was also a little scorching. :

Unexpectedly, there is not a single ice cube in the palace, although it is ventilated everywhere and it is quite cool, but it will make people feel bored after staying for a long time.

Zhu Jiu had never lacked charcoal fire and ice cubes in the past, whether in Yan Country, Xuanyuan Country, or Gaoxin Country, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Hanmei seemed to see what she was thinking, snorted, and said indignantly: "It's all because of the snobbery of the Internal Affairs Office, they have to see the wind and rudder, and when they see that He Hongying is now popular in the harem, they have saved a lot of food and clothing in our palace, and it is estimated that all the money for those ice cubes will be honored to He Hongying!"

Seeing that the little girl was so angry, Zhu Jiu shook her head with a smile, "It's okay, if you are hot, I will go back and walk in front of He Hongying in person."

"By the way, master, you don't know what's going on in the palace during this time, right? Tell you, slave!"

Han Mei pulled her to sit down, served tea and poured water, and hurriedly told Zhu Jiu all the news she knew in the palace.

Although Zhu Jiu had known about the news for a long time, and it didn't sound like a fuss at the moment, but Hanmei could have this intention, which still moved Zhu Jiu secretly, so he nodded, "You have a heart, go down and rest first, didn't you say that the concubines in the harem are waiting for me?" I'll go see them."

"Oh, they're sitting in the backyard, master, sit down, and the slave and maid go and call them over."

After speaking, Hanmei quickly retreated and brought people up.

Zhu Jiu looked at the group of energetic concubines in front of him, their eyes were red, as if they had cried, and their faces were a little aggrieved.

Then he asked, "You have come to me, but what has happened?"

Zhu Jiu has an extraordinary status in Xuanyuan Che's heart, and he is still treated with frugality, let alone these concubines.

They couldn't get any benefit in He Hongying's hands, but they were taught a lesson by He Hongying because they approached the emperor several times.

Before the concubines were canonized, they got along with Zhu Jiu very well when they were still show girls, but now that Shen Xiuzhi is gone, there is only Zhu Jiu who is comparable to the queen in the palace, and only if Zhu Jiu is spoken, His Majesty will listen to it.

They already faintly had the posture of treating Zhu Jiu as a queen, so they didn't complain, but thanked Zhu Jiu for the grievances they encountered.

After Zhu Jiu heard this, he frowned slightly, "Since this He girl already has a marriage contract with Li Chunyue, it is really inappropriate to be so close to His Majesty."

After she finished speaking, she immediately resonated with the show girls next to her, "That's right! If she is like you, generous and doesn't care about us, why would we come to complain? That woman has been occupying Your Majesty, I quietly went to ask the Min Divine Doctor, Your Majesty's body was supposed to be better every time, as soon as I drank the medicine fed by He Hongying, my body was not good again!"

The show girl who said this was very upright and straightforward, and after saying this, she found that there was no sound around her, and the show girls just now were also silent at the moment, looking at her silently, and she realized that it was

It's not that he said the wrong thing, he couldn't help but look at Zhu Jiu for a while, with a cautious look in his eyes.

But Zhu Jiu didn't say anything, but shook his head, "It seems that you have to call Min Que over to find out what medicine His Majesty is drinking now."

The person who was good friends with the show girl hurriedly pulled her at this time and motioned her to shut up.

They can sue, but it is a matter of His Majesty's life, they can't talk nonsense, besides, even if He Hongying's status is no longer good, she is also His Majesty's cousin, and she is also a member of General He's Mansion.

General He Lao is full of loyalty and martyrdom, and he sacrificed heroically at the beginning, but now only He Hongying's only daughter is left to support the façade, in all fairness, they can't fight her.

It's just that she is unwilling to be suppressed by her in the palace, these show girls are still young, they have just entered the palace, and their hearts are not so mature, and they can endure He Hongying's oppression.

Zhu Jiu asked Hanmei to take some things out to appease them, although these things were very valuable, but she didn't feel distressed, after all, this was all the reward that Xuanyuan Che had given her before, if she hadn't shown her attitude, she was afraid that Xuanyuan Che would even be able to give her the key to the palace treasury.

After getting these rewards, the concubines were happy, so they didn't stay here to bother Zhu Jiu, they were still very knowledgeable, and they knew that Zhu Jiu had been working hard outside for disaster relief recently, so they didn't say anything gossip with her.

After these concubines left, Han Mei silently exhaled and complained to Zhu Jiu: "Look at you, these are Your Majesty's concubines, they treat you more affectionately than Your Majesty!"

At this time, Luo Zheng came from outside and said with a smile, "After all, General Zhu seems to be much more amiable than His Majesty."

Although Zhu Jiu is also cold, it does not make people feel unapproachable, as long as you have no other purpose and are a pure person, talk to her, she will reply to you twice.

This kind of person is very kind at the bottom of his heart.

But His Majesty is the kind of person, if the real oil and salt are not entered, there is absolutely no possibility for anyone he looks down on to get close to him.

Therefore, He Hongying this time is really an exception.

It just so happened that Zhu Jiu also had something to ask Luo Zheng, and Luo Zheng was called by her at this time, so she opened Hanmei and said, "You go to Your Majesty's side to report my safety, just say that I am back, and I will go to the court tomorrow."

"Yes, master!"

Speaking of the last dynasty, Hanmei's eyes were shining.

Who said that her master could only stay in the harem? I can shine as well in the previous dynasty!

She hurriedly retreated and prepared a change of official uniform for her.

And after she left, Zhu Jiu looked at Luo Zheng, "Have you found out, He Hongying is really pregnant with His Majesty's child?"
