Zhu Gui talked happily with Zhu Biao, who was more than twice his age, until the eunuch in charge came to check on the situation and tactfully expressed that Concubine Guo wanted to see Zhu Gui.
Only then did Zhu Biao wake up and sent Zhu Gui to the gate before reluctantly going back.
The chief eunuch was quite surprised by this.
You must know that although Prince Zhu Biao is kind and kind to others, there are very few people who can talk to him about going together. Unexpectedly, Zhu Gui, who has always had a poor reputation, can do this.
Zhu Gui originally thought that he was going to see Zhu Yuanzhang, but he felt a little heavy. He didn't know whether the Hongwu Emperor's impression of him had changed. The two people had very different policies for governing the world.
However, the chief eunuch explained the situation on the way and wanted to take him directly to the side hall to see Concubine Guo.
The reason was that it was too late and the emperor needed to take a nap.
Zhu Gui's heart relaxed, and he felt like he had escaped a disaster.
However, this also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude towards him is very casual, and his attitude has reached the level of being visible or invisible.
Of course, this is mainly because of the energy of Prince Zhu Biao. Others would not have dared to waste such a long time.
In short, Zhu Biao came to the side hall with mixed emotions, where he met his biological mother Guo Huifei.
Although Concubine Guo Hui was in a deep palace and took good care of herself, she didn't know if it was because she missed Zhu Gui that she had some wrinkles on her face, but this showed her kindness even more.
"My dearest concubine, the acting king has arrived."
After the eunuch in charge finished speaking, he wisely left.
Guo Huifei stood up from the chair, walked quickly to Zhu Gui, took his hand and looked up and down.
"Your Majesty has grown up." Guo Huifei murmured with moist eyes.
"Empress." Although Zhu Gui had already prepared, seeing Concubine Guo Hui like this, she felt mixed emotions in her heart.
The two looked at each other for a long time before Guo Huifei chuckled, pulled Zhu Gui to sit on a chair, and began to ask him about his life in Yunzhou.
Zhu Guiru was granted amnesty and hurriedly explained the matter in detail.
However, he said it lightly, but Guo Huifei's eyes were full of brilliance and she couldn't help but nod.
Every time Zhu Gui mentioned Xu Miaoqing, Guo Huifei would smile and ask Zhu Gui to speak more carefully.
Zhu Gui could also see that Guo Huifei was not very interested in the major events and achievements he had done, but was very concerned about him and Xu Miaoqing.
Especially when Xu Miaoqing was kidnapped by the robbers, Zhu Gui explained it in detail several times.
Just as Zhu Gui was talking about Xu Miaoqing's embarrassment, a sentence suddenly appeared from behind the screen not far away, 'Hey, am I that unbearable? I think you are deliberately trying to hide me.'
This sentence startled Zhu Gui, and he recognized that it was Xu Miaoqing's voice.
But isn't she in the Xu Mansion? Why is she here?
Concubine Guo Hui stood up with a smile and said: "While you and the prince were chatting happily, E Niang was really anxious about waiting, so she sent someone to invite the princess over. Miaoqing, come out."
"Yes, your concubine."
Xu Miaoqing, dressed in palace attire, walked up to the two of them without forgetting to glare at Zhu Gui.
"This is all to make my mother happy, don't mind it," Zhu Guipai said with a smile.
Guo Huifei smiled even happier.
"At the beginning, some people said that the two women of the Xu family were naughty and could not be taught, and that even the king could not subjugate her. Now it seems that you are a match made in heaven, but that person is being arrogant."
"Who is such a gossip? If I knew, I would have pulled out his tongue." Xu Miaoqing sat next to Guo Huifei, took her hand and continued: "My dear concubine, what kind of skin care formula do you use? Why is your skin like this?
good?"
Guo Huifei took Xu Miaoqing's hand and began to introduce them. The two women chatted happily, but Zhu Gui was ignored.
But he is also happy to do this, and he actually feels a little warm. Is this the feeling of home?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but open the system store to see if there was anything suitable for women's care.
After some exploration, he discovered that there were quite a few such things in the store, which made him wonder if the system had mistaken the gender of his host.
Or is it that this system store, like the unscrupulous merchants of later generations, all know that women's things are the most profitable.
But when he thought of making money, Zhu Gui immediately had an idea. If he could open a shop specializing in women's items, he could not only make a lot of money, but also open a special intelligence channel.
Thinking of this, Zhu Gui suddenly became excited, so he immediately exchanged some mid-range or above skin care products from the store, and also exchanged a gift box, and then brought it to Guo Huifei and Xu Miaoqing.
"Mom, Miaoqing, these are some skin care products that I have recently researched. You can try them out and tell me your feelings for my reference."
Zhu Guidao.
"Skin care products? Are you researching this?" Xu Miaoqing first raised the question. Knowing that the two of them were almost inseparable during this period, why didn't she notice that Zhu Gui was still researching this.
Guo Huifei did not have any doubts, but felt that Zhu Gui was very considerate.
The two girls opened the gift box and were immediately surprised by the exquisite little box in front of them.
"Your Majesty, you did all this? You don't often hang out in romantic places, right?" Guo Huifei hesitated for a moment and looked at Zhu Gui with a worried look.
Before Zhu Gui could say anything, Xu Miaoqing said first: "Don't worry, my dear concubine, as long as I'm watching over him, he won't dare to mess around. And he does like to study some weird things, but this time it's you who are interested."
After Guo Huifei heard what Xu Miaoqing said, she gave up her doubts, and then the two girls opened the small box and started trying it out.
Soon, there was a burst of exclamation in the room. It turned out that Guo Huifei and Xu Miaoqing both liked the skin care products that Zhu Gui brought out.
Not only is the effect much better than what they have used before, but this small box is also very cute.
Zhu Gui obviously expected this effect. He immediately took out a dozen more gift boxes and asked the eunuch to deliver them all to Concubine Guo Hui's palace, and promised that the caravan would often deliver them in the future.
"Mother, you can also use these things to make friends with other concubines in the harem or even the queen. These things are not expensive."
Zhu Gui said.
Yes, this is another link in Zhu Gui's plan, which is the high-end route.
Using these women-specific cosmetics can not only open up the relationship network in the harem, but even high-ranking officials and vassal kings will change their attitude towards Zhu Gui because of the 'pillow talk' of their wives and concubines.
When Concubine Guo Hui heard this, she couldn't help but nod. She knew that these things would be very popular in the harem.
"Your Majesty has indeed grown up, and I'm relieved now."
The three of them chatted together until late at night, before Zhu Gui and Xu Miaoqing returned to Prince Dai's Mansion together.
