Feng Qingqing smiled: "Thank you so much for taking care of the prince for me. I don't know the rules of the prince's house. But starting from today, I will establish a few new rules for the prince's house. Everyone is hardworking and doing their duty, so naturally they will live in peace and have enough food and clothing. Worry. If you are still lazy, cheating, and flirting with the master of trouble, I will naturally have my own methods."
The maids naturally knew that "Fox Mei Luo Lord" was meant for them, so they all responded respectfully.
In fact, they each have their own ideas.
Some people secretly lamented: When they were sent by the emperor to serve this silly prince, they still expected to coax him to make them concubines and get rid of their fate of being slaves. Unexpectedly, now that a powerful mistress has come, there will be no chance of success in the future. .
Some people also think: If you want to be the only one, it depends on whether you have the ability.
Feng Qingqing nodded, and then looked at Yang with interest.
Many people secretly laughed at the Feng family for pushing their daughter into the fire pit in order to cling to the dragon and the phoenix.
That silly prince may not even know how to perform a bridal chamber.
It's just that after Feng Qingqing married Zhu Xi, her face was rosy and her eyes were clear, and she didn't look unhappy at all.
It is said that Zhu Ruo nourishes and recuperates Feng Qingqing's body every day, and the minor problems such as dysmenorrhea and difficulty sleeping at night are cured.
Within a few months, news spread in the palace that Feng Qingqing was pregnant.
Everyone sighed: Tsk, tsk, it’s true that people cannot be judged by their appearance.
Lao Zhu's sons are indeed not mediocre people.
Lao Zhu was overjoyed and proud. He named Zhu Ji the King of Zhou and granted him the title of Kaifeng.
He also ordered that when Feng Qingqing finished giving birth, Zhu Xi would be sent to join the feudal clan.
The people who laughed at the Feng family at first felt a little regretful.
Kaifeng has always been rich in resources and people, but it is also far away from the frontier. Among the vassal lands that are now sealed by the king, Kaifeng is the best.
Marrying your daughter to Zhu Rui will bring you endless glory and wealth. Besides, the prince has a meek temper, so the princess must be in control of the palace. Why would she neglect her mother-in-law's family if there are any benefits?
Lao Zhu pointed out two concubines to Zhu Xi, euphemistically saying that they would share Feng Qingqing's worries. In fact, he was also afraid that Feng Qingqing would dominate and control Zhu Xi, so Zhu Xi did not dare to say anything.
One of these two concubines was the Yang family who Zhu Bai ordered to help Zhu Ju's housekeeper in Hangzhou.
Feng Qingqing accepted the imperial edict without saying a word and locked himself in the room.
She brought four dowry maids with her.
According to convention, these four are actually Zhu Ji's concubines.
Lao Zhu actually pointed out two others to Zhu Ting. Wasn't this a deliberate attempt to make people compete with her for favor?
Zhu Rui seemed to have no intention, so he went to spend the night with his two concubines. He stayed there for several days before returning to Feng Qingqing's room.
Feng Qingqing was so angry that she shed tears.
Zhu Zhu didn't comfort or explain. Anyway, it was time to eat and sleep, and he spent the rest of the time growing herbs in the garden.
The two of them just held it in without speaking.
In the morning, Zhu Ru came in and took Feng Qingqing's pulse.
Although Feng Qingqing was angry, he didn't dare not open the door to Zhu Rui. After all, this was the palace, and it was still under Lao Zhu's nose.
She reluctantly sat down and sneered: "Is the prince worried about my concubine or the child in my belly?"
Zhu Xi looked at her steadily: "Of course they are all worried."
Feng Qingqing bit her lip and tears kept falling: "Do you have any heart?"
Zhu Ju said: "If you don't use the things your father has given you, you are disobeying the decree."
He took out a piece of paper and handed it to Feng Qingqing.
Feng Qingqing took it and saw that it was Zhu Bai's calligraphy, which said: "Listen to your father."
Zhu Ru said: "My twelve brothers know this. How could you not know?"
Feng Qingqing suddenly understood.
Lao Zhu hated jealous shrews the most. He must have heard what she said in the yard that day, and deliberately rewarded two women to Zhu Zhu, just to see if she could tolerate others and if she was really gentle and virtuous.
If Zhu Ting doesn't go to his concubine, Lao Zhu might have to change Zhu Ting's wife.
Zhu Ru stood up and said, "Don't worry too much. Your health and children are important. If anyone asks, I will only say that you have severe morning sickness, are uncomfortable, and don't want to see people. Otherwise, don't say any more."
Zhu Tie looked stupid and said nothing, but in fact he was very transparent in his heart.
The more Feng Qingqing thought about it, the more frightened she became, and a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on her back.
-----
Three days after Zhu Xi's wedding, it started to rain in Su, Jia, Chang and Hu, and it didn't stop for several days.
Lao Zhu said that Zhu Biao had gained experience from the last time, so he directly gave Zhu Biao full authority to direct the disaster relief.
In other words, after Zhu Biao read the instructions for this part of the memorial, he did not need to ask Lao Zhu for instructions.
This is tantamount to Lao Zhu trying to further delegate power to him.
Zhu Biao planned to follow Zhu Bai's example last time and mobilize the Guanya Bureau to prepare medicinal materials for disaster relief. He went directly to the Guanya Bureau after the court that day.
People in the Guanya Bureau treated him with great respect.
Zhu Biao said: "This palace wants to requisition the General Administration of Guanya. Please open the room of King Xiang."
The Chief of the Tooth Bureau of the General Administration bowed: "Your Highness, please forgive me. Only Your Highness, King Xiang, has this key. Little people don't have this authority..."
In fact, he was telling Zhu Biao tactfully: You don't have this authority either. It is full of important account books of the Guanya Bureau. Who dares to open the door? !
Zhu Biao frowned: "Then who has this authority?"
Ya Chang replied: "Your Majesty and King Xiang."
Originally, the Guanya Bureau was Lao Zhu's business, and Zhu Bai was just managing it.
Zhu Biao thought for a moment and said, "What if this palace uses its supervisory power?"
Chief Ya said: "Yes, but it can only be opened when all supervisory officials and His Royal Highness King Xiang are present."
This was stipulated at that time because we were afraid that someone would open it at will, alter the account books, and then frame them.
Zhu Biao was furious: "What if this temple needs to be used?"
Ya Chang replied respectfully: "I can only trouble Your Highness to find King Xiang or the Emperor to write a note."
Isn't this an endless cycle...
Zhu Biao couldn't laugh or cry.
It would definitely not work to go to Zhu Bai. We would send someone to deliver the letter and then come back with Zhu Bai's note. It would take at least half a month to get back and forth. It would still be 800 miles in a hurry, which would waste people and money.
Then you can only find Lao Zhu.
But Lao Zhu just delegated all this power directly to him. He really cherished this rare opportunity.
So he didn't want to go to Lao Zhu for help so quickly.
Zhu Biao could only try to go to the Ministry of Household Affairs to mobilize supplies.
As a result, it took three days and the Ministry of Finance still hadn't found out where so many medicinal materials could be mobilized, let alone transportation.
When Zhu Biao saw that this was not going to work, he went to find Lao Zhu again.
After hearing Zhu Biao's words, Lao Zhu happily took a piece of paper specially designed for the dental shop, wrote him a note with his own hand, and stamped it with the dental shop's seal given to him by Zhu Biao.
When Zhu Bai left, he was afraid that Lao Zhu would need the official teeth bureau to handle big things, so he made preparations in advance.
Zhu Biao took Lao Zhu's note to the Guanya Bureau.
This time Ya Chang opened the room without saying a word.
Zhu Biao went in and called the chief of teeth to say: "Ask the various government teeth bureaus to prepare medicinal materials and grains to be transported to Su, Jia, Chang and Hu."
Chief Ya saluted: "I obey, but I need a transfer order written by King Xiang himself and stamped with King Xiang's seal."
Zhu Biao choked up. Even though he had a good temper, he couldn't help but get a little angry: "Why is it so cumbersome?!"
