Drunk Bamboo

Xie Yuzhu and Bai Guo were on their way out of the palace.

When Xie Yuzhu first met Zhang Hansu, it was the first time she entered the palace. She was standing by the palace gate in her official uniform, with a cold and beautiful temperament that was unforgettable at first sight.

The second time was at the wedding banquet of Prince Wen Hua Qinming, when she took care of the Crown Prince attentively.

During this third meeting, after only a few words, I felt that she was a girl with a story in her heart, extraordinary vision and extraordinary thoughts.

The Zhang family is indeed full of talented people, and their minds are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Xie Yuzhu thought again of the scene where Zhang Hansu kept a distance from his family, and felt strange. She thought that this was their family affair and she shouldn't interfere.

Bai Guo suddenly asked, "Madam Zhang didn't accept the gift, but the princess didn't seem angry?"

Xie Yuzhu came back to his senses and stopped thinking about Zhang Hansu.

"It's not a gift from me, why are you angry? You should think about how to explain it to Master Liu so that he can understand."

"Madam Zhang is also strange. She doesn't accept gifts. This is considered a principled person. She doesn't expect anything in return. Why does she even call her own brother Lord Zhang? The prince and Lord Zhang are also very strange. They are obviously friends for life and death, so why did they become strangers? Princess, you said that enemies are enemies and you should never have any contact with each other. Why don't relatives act like relatives and friends act like friends? How awkward is this?"

The more I get to know her, the more I find that Bai Guo is carefree and straightforward. She will treat anyone who treats her well. If she doesn't like someone, her smile will be emotionless.

Sometimes it really looks like Huaqin style.

However, she is good at observing people's words and expressions, and has a smart mind. She knows when to stop, correct her mistakes, and escape when there is danger.

Xie Yuzhu: "But people's emotions are so complicated."

Bai Guo: "Love is love, hate is hate, like is like, dislike is dislike. If there is a misunderstanding, talk about it, don't keep everything in your heart. You say you are doing it for the other person's good, but in fact both parties are in pain."

Xie Yuzhu smiled and said, "If everyone thinks like you, everything will be simple."

"It's actually a simple matter. The prince should be like this. I don't know why he and Master Zhang are so entangled. It's really procrastinating and awkward."

"You are the most open-minded person in the palace. I should learn from you."

Bai Guo covered his mouth and laughed, "Princess, you are praising me for being simple-minded. Hehe, I am happy to hear that."

Showing a rare shy look.

Then there was a look of smugness on his face.

Baiguo has had a rough life, but he has been able to maintain an optimistic attitude, which must be due to Hua Qinfeng's contribution.

Xie Yuzhu: "I hope you will always be this happy."

The backyard of Taohua Building.

King Wen Hua Qinming and Han Jianzheng were one sitting and one kneeling.

Han Jian knelt on the ground, his face full of panic: "Your Majesty, it was my fault that I was careless for a moment and did not think things through. I sent someone to teach Gu Suiyi a lesson!"

Hua Qinming's eyes were cold: "Master Han, you have been in the officialdom for many years, and you would make such a low-level mistake?"

"I was also worried that Gu Suiyi's actions would cause all the royal nobles to contribute money. Once the money was raised, it would affect the prince's plan. I was also anxious for the moment, so I wanted to stop Gu Suiyi from doing whatever he wanted. I didn't expect that His Majesty actually knew about this..."

Han Jian was anxious and annoyed because of things happening at home, so he acted rashly and sent someone to warn Gu Suiyi without thinking it through.

It was just a warning, but who would have thought that His Majesty would summon Gu Suiyi and reward the Gu family with a red-lettered iron certificate, which turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

Hua Qinming threw the cup and shattered it to the ground. "How foolish! In the court, His Majesty agreed to the Minister of Revenue's request to raise money, and reduced the palace's expenses, and transferred money from the expenses. How could you not see the situation? And you dared to send people to beat Gu Suiyi? Who is Gu Suiyi? He is the only son of the Marquis of Yongxing. Even if his reputation is not good, even if the Marquis' Mansion has not been valued in recent years, he is still the legitimate son of the Marquis' Mansion, and his status is there."

"Master Han, where on earth do you get the courage to dare to touch the young master of the Marquis's Mansion!"

The water in the cup splashed all over him. He trembled with his hands, not daring to wipe them off: "It's...it's my fault, it's my fault!"

Hua Qinming said coldly: "You are confused. Father has ordered people to investigate this matter. You will clean up the mess. If father finds out anything, your Han family will bear the brunt of the consequences. You will die to apologize."

So many people in Zhongdu were unwilling to pay the money, but no one dared to do anything to Gu Suiyi, not only because of Gu Suiyi's identity, but also because they knew that this was the intention of His Majesty.

Even if they are reluctant in their hearts, they dare not take actual action.

But Han Jian did the stupidest thing at this sensitive moment.

It was simply because things at home were bothering him that he lost his mind and made random moves.

"I will definitely handle it properly. Your Majesty will not find any traces, and the prince will not be affected at all!"

"Lord Han, the position of Minister of Industry is not easy to hold. If you want to follow me, you must be very alert. No family affairs are as important as my plan."

Hua Qinming said in a warning tone.

Han Jian was worried about his son Han Xin's strange illness. He quarreled with his wife at home and even brought the matter to the emperor, who begged the imperial physician to leave the palace for a face-to-face consultation.

It's hard not to know about this.

Han Jian's forehead was covered with cold sweat. "It was my negligence. I will do my best to serve the prince."

"You are not working for this king, but fighting for our common cause."

"Your Majesty is right. This will never happen again!"

Hua Qinming glanced coldly and said, "It has come to this. The silver has been collected. The next step is to transport it to Jiangbei County. It is easy to collect silver, but it is not easy to send it. On this long journey, there are always ways to prevent the silver from reaching its destination."

Han Jian wiped the sweat from his forehead and raised his head slightly: "I understand. I will never let this batch of silver reach Jiangbei County."

"Lord Chen from the Ministry of War has asked my father for mercy and asked King Feng to meet us in Jiangbei County. Zhang Xinghe and Chaoyang are both here. The three of them have extraordinary martial arts skills and have all been on the battlefield and experienced bloody storms. They are not something that ordinary people can defeat."

Han Jian took a cautious look and asked tentatively: "All my subordinates are martial arts masters, how about sending more people?"

Hua Qinming stared at the empty cup in his hand: "There can be no mistakes in this mission. I will assign Guard Qiu to you."

Han Jian opened his eyes wide and said in astonishment, "Guard Qiu! Guard Qiu, one of the four guards around the prince?"

Hua Qinming has four hidden guards around him, Chun, Xia, Autumn and Winter. Chun'er and Xia'er, the maids who have been with him all year round, are naturally the four. As for the two guards, Qiu and Dong, they have never shown their faces, and no one knows whether they are male or female, or what they look like.

Han Jiancheng only learned these after he became Hua Qinming's confidant.

Outsiders never knew that Chun'er and Xia'er were top masters.
