The stupid son of Chongba

Chapter 19 The Emperor and Empress race, Zhu Ju inspects the troops!

Inside Kunning Palace.

"Cuizhu, where is the needle box that was placed here? I can't find it."

Ma Xiuying shouted while rummaging through the cabinets.

"It's the embroidery needle box. I put it away when I cleaned the palace at the end of last year."

The maid named Cuizhu smiled and responded,
"You haven't used that item for a long time. Why did you suddenly think of it, madam? Do you want to embroider it?"

Ma Xiuying stood up suddenly.

"If you hadn't told me earlier, I would have had a hard time looking for you."

She brushed her sleeves and said unhappily,

"Go get it!"

"I want to make a pair of shoes for Little Orange."

Cuizhu was slightly stunned.

"Shoes?"

She said with some doubt,
"You can just leave this kind of small matter to the servants. Why do you have to do it yourself?"

"Tell me what style you want, and I'll go to the needlework bureau to get it done."

Upon hearing this, Ma Xiuying waved her hand.

"You don't understand. This shoemaking is a job that requires the most skill. If you make the slightest mistake, your feet won't feel comfortable when you wear them. It'll hurt!"

she said,

"You can ask the needlework bureau to make other clothes, but I have to come in person to make shoes for you. In the past, I made shoes for your majesty myself. He couldn't get used to wearing shoes made by others."

Cuizhu looked surprised after hearing these words.

"But you haven't made shoes for His Majesty in these years."

She couldn't help but say,
"You are so kind to His Highness the Sixth Prince! Even His Highness the Crown Prince cannot enjoy such treatment!"

Ma Xiuying smiled slightly.

Men are responsible for external affairs, while women are responsible for internal affairs. There have been many affairs in the inner court these years, and she has not made shoes by herself for many years.

The last time I made shoes seemed to be two years ago...

"Little Juzi has been living outside and has suffered for so many years. Now he has finally returned to the palace. As a mother, I feel so distressed that I always want to compensate him more and give him double the motherly love I owe him all these years."

Ma Xiuying spoke in a gentle voice with soft eyes.

"I'm a little curious about what you said. I really want to meet the Sixth Prince you've been thinking about day and night." Cuizhu helped Ma Xiuying sit down again, walked up to her and rubbed her shoulders, saying with a smile.

"He is a good, filial and sensible child. His features are more like mine, but he also has his father's heroic spirit."

Ma Xiuying said with a smile,

"When he grows up, he will definitely be a handsome man!"

"I'll call him over tomorrow so you can all meet him."

When talking about her son, even the queen could not escape the common custom and praised Zhu Ju as if he were a flower.

"Then this slave must take a good look at it!"

The master and servant were talking and laughing when they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the hall!

Da da da!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty the Queen!"

"Oh no! Something happened to the Sixth Prince!"

The person who came was Liuxia!
And her voice was like thunder, exploding in Ma Xiuying's heart!

"What did you say?"

Her expression suddenly changed, and she stood up and ordered,
"What happened to Xiaojuzi? What could possibly happen to him in the palace?"

"How did you take care of him?"

In an instant, a terrifying aura burst out from Ma Xiuying, scaring Cuizhu behind her so much that she retracted her hands.

She had never seen the Queen like this before!

"Hurry up and tell me! What happened?"

Ma Xiuying hurried forward, and her footsteps were so fast that one of her shoes fell off! She didn't even bother to pick up her shoe, and quickly walked in front of Liuxia, asking questions one after another.

"My queen, your shoes!" Cuizhu picked up the shoes hurriedly, took two steps at a time, and stepped forward to deliver the shoes.

OMG!

How could the Queen be so out of control!

"Your Highness, it was the Sixth Prince who got angry and slapped the Eighth Prince several times and even tied him to a tree."

Liuxia took a deep breath and finally stopped panting. She said quickly,

"Right now, His Highness the Eighth Prince is still tied to the tree, howling like a ghost!"

Ma Xiuying was stunned when she heard this.

"what?"

She was surprised and said,

"What is this song about?"

"How could there be a conflict between Lao Ba and Xiao Juzi? They have never met each other, right?"

When Xiaojuzi was taken away by Peng Xuan, the eighth child Zhu Gui had not been born yet, right?

Even if the baby has been born, it is just a baby in swaddling clothes. These two should not know each other, so why did they make such a fuss?
"Mother, shoes."

Cuizhu presented embroidered shoes.

"oh oh……"

Ma Xiuying then took the shoes and put them on with the help of two maids.

Although this sudden incident made her a little confused, at least Zhu Ju was not at a disadvantage, so it was okay.

She was most afraid that something might happen to Zhu Ju.

"I'm not sure either. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sent 120 people to the Sixth Prince's place. I and Caiyun were arranging them when we suddenly heard the Eighth Prince crying and begging for mercy. Not long after, he was tied to a tree."

Liuxia Road,
"As soon as I saw that something was not right, I hurried over to report it to you, Your Majesty. I guess someone else has gone to report it to Your Majesty as well."

Ma Xiuying frowned.

"What is Xiaojuzi doing? Did Laoba do something out of the ordinary and angered him?"

She pondered and said,

"By the way, why did Lao Ba suddenly go to his place?"

"This...I don't know." Liuxia shook her head.

Ma Xiuying slapped her forehead.

"Forget it, Cuizhu, quickly arrange for the imperial carriage! I want to go to Xiaojuzi's place!"

She quickly ordered,

"We must arrive before His Majesty, otherwise, with his explosive temper, when he sees Old Eight tied to a tree, he might vent his anger on Little Orange."

"I'll go over and figure things out first so that we can resolve it when the time comes."

"Yes, I'll do it right away!" Cuizhu ran out immediately.

Ma Xiuying also lifted her skirt and took small steps, following closely behind with Liuxia!
The emperor and the empress's carriages started racing in the winding Forbidden City!
……

"Save, save..."

"Woo..."

In the courtyard, Zhu Yu, who was tied to the tree, no longer had the strength to shout. He just hung his head and his face was pale.

Occasionally he would shout, but his voice was weak and hoarse, and he looked like he was about to die.

After all, he is a delicate prince. How could he withstand such physical and mental torture?
And just under the tree, a large group of eunuchs and palace maids gathered in the open space, looking at the Sixth Prince with a stern expression in front of them.

Everyone felt somewhat uneasy at this moment.

"Since you are standing here, it means you are my people. Now, I have something to do and I need your help!"

Zhu Ju glanced at the people in front of him and said in a deep voice,
"I have already investigated what happened today. This Zhu Yu is not the mastermind. The Zhu Chong behind him is the one who really wants to mess with me! Although I have never provoked him and I don't know what his motives are, since he took the initiative to provoke me, then this feud is settled!"

"I just told Zhu Yu that I am a vindictive person. Anyone who dares to mess with me should be prepared to be gnawed by me!"

"Now, I'm going to go to Zhu Chong and ask him for an explanation! So I need manpower, the more the better!"

"Who among you is willing to go with me to fight?!"
