Zhu Bai smiled and said, "Don't say that, mother. It's only natural for a daughter to want to see her father. It's just that it's inconvenient now, and that villain happened to take advantage of her again."
He raised his chin towards Zhu Ju: "Don't you need to send her to the palace?"
Concubine Hu Shun said: "While having dinner, I asked the Queen to let Zhu Ju spend the night in my palace. The Queen said that Zhu Ju's palace must be very chaotic tonight, so she agreed."
After Zhu Ju finished her snack, she leaned against Hu Shunfei and closed her eyes. She seemed to be sleepy.
Concubine Hu Shun held her in her arms, patted her gently and said, "Bai'er, mother has something to discuss with you."
Zhu Bai sighed softly: "Mother, do you want to tell the Queen to take Zhu Ju with you to take care of her?"
Concubine Hu Shun's face heated up and she sighed: "Yes. You know, my mother never cares about other people's business in this palace. But this child is really pitiful. Besides, her own mother was also a friend of mine when she was alive. I really don't
I can’t bear to look at her..."
Zhu Ju's nannies were replaced one after another, but the new ones were not necessarily better than the dead ones.
When Zhu Ju gets older, Lao Zhu will definitely transfer his favor to his younger children, and Zhu Ju's life will only become more and more difficult.
Zhu Bai said: "It's okay, you can go and talk to the Queen. I used some tricks today. In the future, as long as our requests are not too excessive, the Queen will agree."
Zhu Ju suddenly opened her eyes and called Concubine Hu Shun: "Mother."
The big eyes were full of tears.
Concubine Hu Shun's eyes were red and she held her in her arms: "Hey."
Zhu Bai also felt quite uncomfortable.
If he hadn't traveled through time to this Zhu Bai, he would never have imagined that a noble princess could be bullied like this by the palace people.
Zhu Ju looked at Zhu Bai again: "Brother."
Zhu Bai pretended to be impatient and responded: "Well, be good and stop causing me trouble in the future."
Zhu Ju suddenly stood up and hugged him: "Brother."
Zhu Bai was almost knocked down by her. He blushed and tried to push her away: "Oh, you are so annoying. Let go."
This was the first time he was hugged directly by someone of the same age without saying a word.
Zhu Ju sticks to him like chewing gum.
Zhu Bai said: "Tell me, did you pester me on purpose?"
Zhu Ju nodded: "Yes, because among all the brothers, you are the richest."
"You are so direct." Zhu Bai looked helpless.
Forget it, just think of it as having an extra pet to accumulate some moral virtue, although he never believed in this.
Zhu Ju: "Besides, you are the most handsome and capable. I like you so much."
Zhu Bai rolled his eyes: Go ahead, this rainbow fart is too straightforward.
It's almost mind-blowing.
How could he, a straight man, endure this?

Concubine Hu Shun took Zhu Ju to greet Queen Ma in the morning.
Empress Ma kindly called Concubine Hu Shun to get up and waved to Zhu Ju.
Zhu Ju leaned over.
Empress Ma hugged her and sighed: "It's your mother's recent negligence that has caused you to suffer."
Zhu Ju shook his head: "Brother Twelve is right. There are many things in the palace and there are many people. The queen mother is working too hard."
Queen Ma touched her head: "Ju'er is really sensible."
Concubine Hu Shun knelt down again: "Your Majesty, I risk my life to ask you for something."
Empress Ma smiled: "You want to keep Zhu Ju by your side, right? You are so kind and honest, and I feel relieved to give Zhu Ju to you. That's right. From now on, Zhu Ju's monthly payment will be given directly to you."
's bedroom."
Concubine Hu Shun said: "Thank you very much for your permission."
Zhu Ju was also very happy.
However, before coming out, Concubine Hu Shun told her not to be overjoyed and let the Empress think that she did not like to be around the Empress.
At this moment, Zhu Ju lowered his head and smiled, then bowed politely: "Thank you, Queen Mother."
Empress Ma pursed her lips and smiled: "Ju'er must be obedient to Concubine Shun, and don't be naughty and cause trouble to Concubine Shun."
Zhu Ju: "Ju'er obeys the order."
-----
As soon as Zhu Ju came out of Queen Ma's place, she couldn't hold herself back. She grabbed Concubine Hu Shun's hand and shook it vigorously: "Mother, that's great, I have a mother."
Concubine Hu Shun hurriedly put a finger to her lips, making a silent gesture.
Zhu Ju covered her mouth and smiled.
Concubine Li Shu passed by and said with a smile: "That's great. Congratulations to Concubine Shun. Concubine Shun is really considerate. No wonder both the Queen and the Emperor like Concubine Shun."
Concubine Hu Shun smiled and said: "Sister is joking. How can I be so favored by the emperor and the empress as my elder sister?"
Concubine Li Shu did not dare to go too far, and smiled at Zhu Ju again: "Congratulations, Your Highness, you have a big thick leg now."
Zhu Ju went straight to hide behind Concubine Hu Shun.
Since the death of Grandma Li, every time she saw Concubine Li Shu, she felt as if she had seen a snake spitting out letters and smiling at her, and the hairs all over her body stood on end.
After Concubine Li Shu said this, she walked away.
Zhu Ju whispered: "I hate her."
Concubine Hu Shun sighed softly: "Mom will teach you the first rule in the palace. No matter how much you hate someone, you can't show it on your face, let alone say it out loud."
Zhu Ju lowered his head: "Yes."
Concubine Hu Shun touched her braid and said, "When you go back and there is no one around, tell your mother quietly."
Zhu Ju: "Ju'er remembers it."
Concubine Hu Shun: "Oh, our Ju'er is going to school soon. Mom will prepare your schoolbag and the four treasures of the study, and go make new clothes. Okay?"
Zhu Ju became happy again: "Okay. Can I see my brother when I go to school?"
Concubine Hu Shun sighed: "You can't see him."
When she talked about it, she also became worried.
Her son is good at everything, but he doesn't like going to school.
But the child's father, Lao Zhu, a tough and arrogant man, had compromised. What could she do?
I can only let him go...

Lao Zhu announced in court today that he decided to let Zhu Biao supervise the country after the Mid-Autumn Festival.
China and Foreign Affairs reported to Zhu Biao in advance, and Zhu Biao formulated handling opinions and then reported them to him.
At the same time, Shu Sheng and Liu Bowen were ordered to assist Zhu Biao.
The officials were surprisingly unanimous on this matter.
All the ministers prostrated themselves and shouted long live the mountain.
What Yan Guan thought was that Zhu Biao was fundamentally weaker than Old Zhu Er, and as long as he came to power, their lives would be easier.
The group of Huaixi nobles from Zhongshu Province were all satisfied to have a place beside Zhu Biao.
As long as you are not kicked out of the center of power, everything else is easy to talk about.
Hearing that Zhu Bai proposed this matter to Lao Zhu, Yan Guan became even more embarrassed to attack Zhu Bai again.
forget it.
Anyway, when the treasury is short of money, Lao Zhu will definitely force Zhu Bai to spit out the money.
Liu Bowen also felt that Zhu Bai did a great job this time, and it was not in vain that he spent so much thought on Zhu Bai. Zhu Bai accomplished great things, and other small problems and mistakes can be ignored!!
Zhu Bai was also very happy: the strategy of diverting artillery fire was successful.
As long as Zhu Biao stands at the front, no one will make things difficult for him.
He can make a fortune in peace and quiet.
Then Lao Zhu announced the establishment of a General Administration Department, with Zeng Bingzheng as its envoy.
The Secretary of General Affairs handles internal and external affairs and seals complaints from the subjects, accepts unjust, false and wrong cases, corruption and fraud, makes secret suggestions to the emperor, etc.
Because Zeng Bingzheng reported directly to Lao Zhu without going through anyone, he had considerable power.
In fact, Lao Zhu was afraid that someone would control Zhu Biao, so he even covered his eyes and ears.
After all, Liu Bowen and Hu Weiyong were one of the chief officials, and the other was an upstart of the Huaixi Group. If the two of them joined forces, they could control the entire court tightly.
Then the officials were like cats that had been stung on the butt. They all looked like they wanted to bite Zeng Bingzheng to death.
