The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 256 I want to abolish Concubine Zhang
On October 29, when the army marched to the entrance of the western border, Xuan Ting personally led the troops to meet him.

On both sides of the road, there are tens of thousands of onlookers.

Since Xuan Fing entered Zhoucheng as Queen Cheng of Zhou, she has taught all the methods of water conservancy and farming of Dazhao to the people of the former Youdu.

The people accepted it, not to mention the less trouble in farming, and the food production also increased multiple times. Everyone praised Xuan Fing's outstanding political talents.

The people of Youdu were abandoned by Youdu, and they entered the territory of Jokhang and became a part of Jokhang. It is said that there is resentment in their hearts.

And Chu Jin couldn't help being a little puzzled seeing the crowd cheering for Xuan Jue's arrival.

"In their eyes, shouldn't the emperor be the sinner who made them ruin the country? How come you are so happy, it seems that you don't know that you have abandoned them at all."

Xuanjue and Yibi opened the car curtain and waved to the people, Yibi whispered to Chu Jin, "People are not officials, what they care about is not how much money they have in their pockets, but whether they can live without being hungry. The days of hunger. You are too busy to take care of yourself, how can you take care of the livelihood of the people in each side? After I belong to Dazhao, the fourth brother will lead them to live a better life step by step, what do they complain about?"

It is true that the people's family and country feelings are not as important as Chu Jin thought.

It's the same with yourself.

If he is just an ordinary citizen, he will live in Zhaodu and wait for his death.Entering Zhaodu in a day, it actually made her life better, so what can she complain about?It's too late to think about the goodness of Youdu.

Xuan Ping rode his horse to lead the way, slowed down from time to time, and walked side by side with Xuan Jue and Chu Jin's carriage, "Your Majesty, I have hosted a banquet in Zhoucheng Palace to entertain you and the Empress. After that, I will take the two of you on a tour of Zhoucheng again. I didn’t realize this land until I came here, and it is indeed a treasured land of geomantic omen. However, no one opened up the wilderness in the past, and it has been vacant for a long time.

Along the way, Xuan Ping looked back at the horse from time to time, carefully sizing up the accompanying army.

How could Xuan Jue and Chu Jin not see through his thoughts?
"Look at the anxious look of the fourth brother Hou, his eyes are almost popping out."

"Isn't it all the fault of the emperor for not letting Concubine Zhang come with me? A trip to the west can cost a few more coins. It's so easy to get rid of Gong Xile's business, and I have to beat the mandarin ducks. See, the fourth master will ask the emperor later." Speaking of Concubine Zhang, how will the emperor answer?"

"It's not that I don't want her to come because of the lack of money." Xuan Jue muttered in a low voice, "The queen mother doesn't allow it? If you want to blame it, you can blame the fourth brother and Concubine Zhang for not being restrained, but the queen mother can see through it at a glance. The tricks that existed between the two of them. Now it's all right, the person who beat the mandarin duck is clearly the queen mother, and I still have to listen to my daughter here."

Chu Jin looked at Xuan Jue with frowned eyebrows, and smiled coldly, "What's the matter? Is the concubine unable to even say a word now?"

Her eyes made Xuan Jue's heart tremble, and she said repeatedly: "No, no, Jin'er said it casually, said it openly, and said it for three days and three nights. I won't bother you."

After entering the western region, the carriage arrived at Zhoucheng Palace after traveling for about half an hour.

This boundary was ordered to be repaired by Xuan Fing after he entered Zhoucheng. It is said to be a palace, but it looks like an ordinary mansion.

All the objects used are ordinary decorative materials, without any luxury. In Zhaodu, even the mansion of a second-rank official may be more grand than this.

There are stone lions on the left and right in front of the door, and the carving technology is also surprisingly poor.If Xuan Ping didn't say it was a lion, Xuan Jue would just think it was two Chinese pastoral dogs standing in front of the door.

"Fourth brother is too industrious and thrifty. It's not that the court didn't transfer money to Zhoucheng. Fourth brother's residence should be more grand. In this way, fourth brother is really wronged."

Xuan Ping said disapprovingly: "It's just a place to sleep, a soft couch is all it takes, why are big men doing such fancy things? The money allocated by the emperor, there is always a right way to use it, and I can enjoy it. I am ashamed of the emperor's trust in his ministers."

When she said this, Xuan Ping's eyes still glanced back from time to time.

Chu Jin cleared her throat and said straightly: "Fourth Master, don't look, Sister Zhang Concubine is not here."

Xuan Ping's face turned red in an instant, and he scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and said, "Where is the Empress, I'm..."

"Didn't the fourth brother prepare the banquet?" Xuan Jue patted his stomach, put one hand on Xuan Bin's shoulder and pushed him towards the hall, "It's hard for me and Jin'er to eat and sleep in the open all the way. , I must have a drink with my fourth brother today, and comfort my suffering stomach.”

There are 68 kinds of flowing dishes, all meat and vegetables, and the cooking taste is slightly worse than that of Emperor Garden City. But these days when we are on the road, it is a joy to be able to eat this table of delicacies.

These 68 dishes all have one strange thing, that is, the porcelain plates used to serve them are as big as one and a half ordinary plates, and the amount of dishes is surprisingly sufficient, even if the three of them sit on the table and eat for a day and a night. Can't finish it.

Judging from the layout of Zhoucheng Palace, Xuan Ting is not a person who is extravagant and wasteful.

He knew that he couldn't eat these dishes and had to throw them away, but he still prepared so much on purpose. The only explanation was that he thought Concubine Zhang would come.

After drinking for three rounds, after asking how Zhaodu was well, Xuan Ting blushed and asked in a low voice, "Concubine Zhang, is everything okay?"

Xuan Jue laughed loudly and said: "Fourth brother held back all the way, but he finally asked what he thought. It's all good, everything is fine. Concubine Zhang has already started exercising to lose weight after listening to the fourth brother. I asked the imperial doctor, and now Her body is much healthier than before."

"Really?" There was unconcealable joy in Xuan Ting's brows and eyes, but Concubine Zhang was still Xuan Jue's concubine after all. Too blatant.So his eyes were shining with starlight, but his expression was indifferent, "That's it. It's good for Zhang Fei to be born rich, but it's not good for Zhang Fei to be born too fat, which will easily cause physical fatigue."

"Fourth Brother is thinking about Concubine Zhang, and Concubine Zhang is also thinking about Fourth Brother." Xuan Jue smiled and winked at Chu Jin, and Chu Jin handed the letter he was carrying with him to Xuan Bin, "This is Zhang Concubine. Sister Concubine asked Bengong to bring it to Fourth Master, and inside it was a letter written by Bengong, and a painting of Sister Zhang Concubine's recent appearance."

Xuan Ping took the envelope, her fingertips trembling slightly, "Can this minister read it now?"

Xuan Jue put a piece of the most tender meat under the cheeks of the dragon grouper into Chu Jin's bowl, and without looking at Xuan Bin, he said leisurely: "The things that Concubine Zhang gave to Fourth Brother, Fourth Brother can look at whenever he wants."

Xuan Ping thanked Xuan Jue for his kindness, and hurriedly opened the envelope.

He first looked at the picture with a smile on his face for a while, and then opened the letter to read the words silently.

Xuan Jue took a sip of the soup during this period, and said lightly, "Concubine Zhang might drink more than eight bowls of such delicious soup. I really can't afford it. I will find a reason when I return to the palace this time. Abolishing her concubine position and sending her out of the palace will also save a lot of expenses in the harem, Jin'er said, right?"

Chu Jin covered her face and smiled, "Isn't it? The concubine is also 'troublesome' when she sees Concubine Zhang~~~"

The two sang and handed the words to Xuan Ting, Xuan Ting was grateful, stood up and respectfully said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the empress is perfect!"

"Thank you, fourth brother?" Xuan Jue smiled, "What does it have to do with you when I talked about the harem with the empress?"

After all, the three of them looked at each other with clear smiles.
