Everyone thought that the young prince Zhu Bai was going to be unlucky, but they didn't expect that not only was he fine, but he also pulled Concubine Li Shu down without saying a word.

Nowadays, whether in the government or in the public, inside or outside the palace, Zhu Bai can do whatever he wants!

The more I think about it, the more I realize that he is the scariest person in the world.

How terrible!

Because Zhu Bai acted in front of the Guan Ya Bureau to punish rape and eliminate evil, the Li family's incident not only did not damage the credibility of the Guan Ya Bureau, but made everyone trust Guan Ya Bureau more and more.

The people who took out the money yesterday deposited it back to the official bank, and the merchants who evacuated yesterday also came back.

Zhu Bai recruited the fat man as an agent for the Guan Ya Bureau, which was equivalent to bringing the fat man under his protection.

The fat man stood at the door every day wearing the uniform of the Official Tooth Bureau, smiling like a lucky cat, which was quite lovable.

Everyone knew that he had one against seven, so no one dared to cause trouble.

Now the fat man can be considered a member of the official family. The Li family also became more and more afraid to touch him.

Moreover, with the Li family's precedent, no one in the palace would dare to use crooked ways to infiltrate the military, horse, and official offices.

----

Ever since Concubine Guo Hui took the key, the situation in the palace has been turned upside down.

Those who used to please Concubine Li Shu now come to visit Concubine Guo Hui.

Concubine Guo's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Empress Ma. She is gentle and kind, but she is actually stronger at heart.

If anyone comes to see her, she will not refuse them and will receive them politely.

Originally there were many chores in the palace, and Concubine Sun was disheartened, but now she doesn't care as long as Queen Ma doesn't call her.

She pushed aside the matters that were under her control in the past and asked those people to ask Concubine Guo.

Guo Huifei didn't know how the division of labor was done before. Anyway, if someone asked, she would write it down and deal with it.

Concubine Guo Hui finally got this situation and she was so exhausted that she didn't dare to complain about being tired.

Seeing her silence, Queen Ma thought she could handle it and didn't ask anything.

As a result, all the work done by the three people in the past fell on Guo Huifei.

Guo Huifei had no one to guide her and was afraid of making mistakes. She dealt with things every day and read the account books until early in the morning. She got up before dawn in the morning to say hello and continued to deal with things.

After thinking so hard, he fainted on the way to say hello to Queen Ma a few days later.

Queen Ma was frightened and frightened, so she hurriedly asked Concubine Guo Hui to have a good rest, and then called Concubine Sun over.

Concubine Sun also felt aggrieved and lowered her head.

Empress Ma sighed: "Oh, so are you. I asked Guo Huifei to hold the key, but I didn't ask you to rest. Why did you become the hands-off shopkeeper?"

Concubine Sun whispered: "Concubine Guo Hui didn't ask me about it. I don't think I should talk too much."

Originally too.

Guo Huifei is the new favorite of Queen Ma and Lao Zhu, unless Queen Ma speaks or Guo Huifei asks herself. Otherwise, if she went off to point out things on her own, wouldn't it be making people laugh at her for not knowing what's important?

Queen Ma said: "Well, she is still a little young. She only knows how to carry everything by herself and does not share the burden. So be it. From now on, you will be in charge of the overall situation and let her learn from you for a year and a half. From now on, Let’s talk early depending on the situation.”

Concubine Sun's heart beat wildly, she tightened her handkerchief, and weakly lowered her head: "I am afraid that my talents and virtues are shallow and I will not be able to do well."

Queen Ma laughed angrily: "Why do they all say this? You are here to be polite to me. You have been helping me for many years. How do I know your ability? Everyone refuses because they want to tire themselves to death. me?"

Concubine Sun knelt down and said, "I don't dare."

Queen Ma handed the key to her: "Then it's all your fault."

Concubine Sun suppressed the pride and excitement in her heart, took the key and came out of Kunning Palace, walked to her bedroom in one breath, closed the door, leaned against the door and covered her mouth with a smile.

Unexpectedly, I had the last laugh.

Someone outside said timidly: "Mother, the Xixin Department has sent someone to ask for instructions."

Concubine Sun put down her hands, straightened her clothes, opened the door and walked out with a straight face, and asked calmly: "What's the matter?"

The people from the Xixin Department hurriedly said: "I wish you a happy marriage."

News in the palace spreads quickly, and it is also for the convenience of knowing who is in charge of the key ledger, so that things can be done easily.

At this time, the twenty-four yamen already knew about Concubine Sun's rise to power.

Concubine Sun smiled: "No need to do it, it's not a big deal. If there is anything, report it quickly."

Someone from the Department of Cherishing Xin said: "Empress Li Shufei is urging you to distribute this year's silver charcoal. The weather has been getting colder these days. I came to ask your Majesty to see if the distribution should continue?"

Because Lao Zhu has money in his hands this year, the Xixin Secretary has already prepared the silver charcoal for heating this year.

It's just that Concubine Guo Hui hasn't had time to send out the silver charcoal these days.

Concubine Sun sneered secretly: Concubine Li Shu, I never thought you would fall into my hands one day. In the past, you suppressed me everywhere, and you would always laugh at my slow reaction and call me stupid. Now I want you to have a taste of what it means to live under someone else's roof.

She said calmly: "No need to rush. Let the prince and princess stay in the palace first, and then the older ones who are pregnant. I will take my time with the rest."

Secretary Xi Xin understood immediately: Anyone can pay it, but don’t pay it to Concubine Li Shu first.

Because after all the calculations, only Concubine Li Shu did not have a prince or princess by her side.

These lackeys who are accustomed to following the wind don't care whether Concubine Li Shu will be angry or not. Anyway, Concubine Li Shu has no power and is not afraid of being angry. They hurriedly salute: "I know."

Concubine Li Shu's people over there didn't ask for the charcoal, so they went back and reported it to Concubine Li Shu.

Concubine Li Shu was so angry that she immediately went to see Concubine Sun.

Concubine Sun came out to greet her with a smile: "Oh, sister, why do you have time to see me?"

If Concubine Li Shu had followed her past behavior, she would have slapped Concubine Sun in her face before speaking.

But she also knew that today was different from the past, and people had to bow their heads under the eaves.

Concubine Li Shu said patiently: "It's getting colder and colder these days, and it's even frighteningly cold in my bedroom. If you want to send money, you should give it to me earlier."

Concubine Sun looked surprised: "Ah, didn't you send it to your sister? I asked the Xinxing Department to send it to you early in the morning. These slaves must have forgotten it. Sister, don't worry, I will send it to you immediately."

When Li Shufei heard that she might really be the slaves of the Xixin Division, she left without saying anything.

Sure enough, the Xixin Division delivered the charcoal in the afternoon.

All he had was two bags of broken black charcoal. This kind of charcoal is a little charcoal, but the house is full of smoke. Not to mention that the concubines don't use it in the palace. Even if they go to a slightly wealthy family outside, only the servants will use it.

Concubine Li Shu pointed at the charcoal and glared at the little eunuch of the Xixin Department: "You slaves, have you made a mistake? How dare you send me such charcoal."

The young eunuch of the Xixin Department bowed and said, "Our father-in-law in charge has said that the Queen and the Queen have all told us to be frugal. There is nothing else in the Xixin Department, so the Queen should make do with what she has."

Then he ran away without waiting for Concubine Li Shu to say anything else.
