The queen bullies me every day

Chapter 52 The Harem's First Thigh

After receiving the queen's order, the four eunuchs who accompanied the palace flocked to capture Concubine Zhang.

But these four inner eunuchs stood up in a row, probably not as 'wide and fat' as Concubine Zhang.

Concubine Zhang was not afraid of them either, she knocked everyone to the ground with a few backhand blows.

Everyone present was terrified by her 'strange power', and the queen even shouted for the guards to capture Concubine Zhang.

The guards with swords were waiting outside Fengluan Palace. Even though they were used to the storms in Diyuan City, they had never seen a concubine dare to do anything in the Queen's Palace.

The visitor got the Queen's order, so he stepped forward to start the next "hand-to-hand fight" with Concubine Zhang.

But Concubine Zhang said lightly: "Who would dare to look at me? I am the cousin of the Empress Dowager and the emperor's cousin. My father is the head of the 72 ministries in the outer realm. If this palace is in Fengluan Palace Captured by you, tomorrow you will be decapitated, and you will not even be able to find the place of burial!"

Her words sound mysterious, but they are not bluffing.

The guards in the palace all knew that one branch of Empress Dowager Zhang's mother's family was capable of holding more than half of Zhaodu's national power, but no matter what they thought, they couldn't imagine that the concubine Zhang in front of them was the legitimate daughter of that branch's family.

The 72 Foreign Border Departments belonged to Zhaodu, but were not under the jurisdiction of Emperor Zhao.To put it bluntly, the status of the head of the 72 foreign ministries is no different from the current status of the Holy One.

In this way, Concubine Zhang is someone that even Xuan Jue dare not easily offend.

The Queen's heart shook, and she knew she was afraid, so she froze on the phoenix seat and was too terrified to speak out.

Concubine Zhang snorted, and said to the queen: "How is it? Does the empress still want to capture the concubines?"

The queen hesitated for a while, and finally Gao Nuo said "that's all", and then ordered everyone to disperse, and she was helped back to the dormitory by Qing Dai in disgrace.

Chu Jin has been in the palace for a long time, and he has never seen the empress in such a predicament with no power to fight back, so she couldn't help but look sideways at Concubine Zhang.

On the way back to the palace, Concubine Zhang kept nagging Chu Jin about the queen's fault, Chu Jin listened all the way, but she had other things in mind.

If I have a good relationship with Concubine Zhang, then in the harem, where will there be anyone who dares to tempt me?

Moreover, Concubine Zhang is an informal and carefree woman, and she is not defensive towards others. If she wants to live under the same roof, it is not difficult for her to win Concubine Zhang's attention.

So when he returned to the palace that day, Chu Jin closed the door of the West Side Hall, leaving Linglong alone to discuss matters.

When she was in the mansion, Linglong was often called to help out in the small kitchen.

I remember that at that time a cook from Jiangnan came and said that Linglong was quite talented in cooking, and he liked Linglong very much.

He taught Linglong many rare dishes.Linglong was sloppy, half learned and forgot, and then the cook left the mansion, and Linglong never cooked those meals again.

Chu Jin suddenly mentioned this matter, but Linglong was embarrassed, "Miss, what kind of Jiangnan cuisine do you want to eat? Slaves. Slaves haven't been in the kitchen for a long time. It's a problem to handle the spoon with your hands. Can I serve your meal?"

"Oh, you're born once and familiar with it~~" Chu Jin pressed Linglong on the seat, kneaded her shoulders and said, "I still have some skill, let's try it later."

Linglong complied with Chu Jin with a half-push, and then asked curiously: "Miss has never been a greedy master, what's wrong with you today? But you were greedy by Concubine Zhang?"

"It's just for her to eat."

"Do it for her?" Linglong was puzzled, "Didn't Miss say that we can't get close to anyone in the palace, so as not to be plotted by others? Why do you care so much about Concubine Zhang?"

Chu Jin stretched his waist and sat on the couch, and asked in a steady voice, "Do you know what the 72 ministries of the Outer Territory are?"

Linglong put her chin in her hand and thought for a while, "I seem to have heard from the master before that the 72 foreign tribes are the imperial tribes of Zhaodu. The Western Regions, Nanman, Beihan and other border areas are located in 72 cities, so they are collectively called the foreign tribes. Department 72."

Chu Jin said: "The 72 departments of the Outer Territory are as high as the emperor and far away. They have already formed their own faction and have their own leaders. Among the leaders, they have elected the most famous one, who is the chief of the tribe. Concubine Zhang's father is the leader of the Outer Territory. The head of Department 72. Although he is also a minister, if it is really reversed, the whole Dazhao will be turned upside down. Otherwise, do you think that Empress Dowager Zhang can stay in the Phoenix seat of the first emperor and empress for so many years just because of her beauty? Many At that time, family background was also one of the important factors for a woman to succeed in the harem."

"Oh." Linglong was stupid, half understanding, and asked: "Is it very powerful? Is it as powerful as the master?"

Chu Jin sneered and said, "In front of Concubine Zhang's father, Chu Huaishan might not even be worthy of carrying shoes. If he had that ability, he wouldn't have been promoted three times by the first emperor. If it wasn't for the new emperor's ascension to the throne, he would have done a great job in escorting him. Even if you are bald, you will not be able to take the position of a top-ranking official."

Linglong couldn't understand many things, but she only heard Chu Jin say that if she wanted the queen to stop bothering them, apart from capturing Murong Xuanjue's heart, it would be a better way to win over Concubine Zhang.

After all, no one can guarantee that Chu Jin will be favored forever, especially now that Concubine Xian has entered the palace.

Compared with love, friendship is more often than not stronger.

So Linglong is more and more concerned about the cooking research of those Jiangnan dishes.

Coincidentally, during this period of time, Xuanjue was out of the palace to offer sacrifices to heaven, and Chu Jin was free to study the dishes with Linglong.

A few days later, when Chu Jin brought Linglong's newly prepared dishes into the main hall of Zhaochun Palace and saw Concubine Zhang sweating profusely after eating, she knew that her chance had come.

Concubine Zhang is indeed a pure and kind person, and her personality is somewhat similar to Chu Jin's. The two lived under the same roof, came and went, and soon became acquainted, and they became sisters.

And Chu Jin also only wanted to use Concubine Zhang from the beginning, and gradually changed to sincerely wanting to make her a friend.

At the end of June, when the weather in Zhaodu was the most sweltering, Xuan Jue also returned to the palace.

Liu Qi rushed to Zhaochun Palace to pass the decree, saying that Xuan Jue came to Zhaochun Palace to visit Chu Jin at night, and Concubine Zhang was not jealous when she heard this, she just said: "Your sister's luck has come."

But this blessing was cut off by another news in the night.

It was night and according to the rules, after Chu Jin washed and dressed, she waited in the palace for the "spring sedan chair" to welcome her.

But in the end, it was Liu Qi who came to Zhaochun Palace with embarrassment, and said to Chu Jin, "Your Majesty, please settle down earlier. Your Majesty, His Majesty, he went to Xiefang Palace."

What are you really afraid of, what are you coming to.

Xianfei Zhao lived in Xiefang Palace.

Chu Jin was not displeased, but ordered Linglong to take the silver taels and give it to Liu Qi as a reward. It was hard work for him to come here to tell him the truth, lest he wait in the night sky.

Concubine Xian has such an outstanding appearance, let alone a man, even Chu Jin, as a woman, can't help but look at her more, so it's not surprising that Xuan Jue chooses her to serve her as a servant and makes him cold.

Zuo Zuo himself only wanted to win Xuan Jue's favor and then trouble the Chu family to avenge his mother's blood.

As for where Xuan Jue's heart fell, she was too lazy to guess.
