Chapter 124 The Out of Control Situation (4)
In the side room, Xun Zhen saw Xu You's uneasy expression, and hurriedly rubbed her heart, "Master Shanggong, please express your condolences."

Xu You patted her hand, and said gratefully: "I'm fine." Fortunately, with the girl Xun Zhen by her side, she didn't feel the frosty desolation, "You go back first, it's been a long time since you came out, I'll be back tomorrow at the latest."

"Master Shanggong, why don't I stay with you for one more day?" Xun Zhen said.

Xu You shook his head, "There are rules in the palace, you don't have the special order of the empress like me, staying one more day is not good for you."

Only then did Xun Zhen get up with tears in his eyes, and walked forward under the leadership of the servants of the Xu family. Looking back, he saw Mrs. Xian, the eldest wife of the Xu family, approaching Xu You's hand and began to speak, "Sister, today This matter..."

She knew what the lady was going to say, but she wanted Mrs. Shanggong to warn her not to spread the news that the brothers of the Xu family were angry with the old man, which would not be good for the Xu family's reputation, so she said, "Don't worry, Mrs. Xu, Xun is really an outsider. , won’t chew the bottom of the tongue.”

Xian's thoughts were clearly revealed, and her face became embarrassed. After all, Xun Zhen was a member of the palace, and he did not expect to have such exquisite thoughts at such a young age, he could not sit or stand immediately.

But Xu You said: "My subordinates are the tight-lipped ones. Elder sister-in-law can rest assured that it is the right way to restrain the mouths of the servants and the second sister-in-law. I'm afraid they will be the first to spread the word."

Only then did Xun Zhen nod to Xu You, and followed his servants out, got into the carriage and returned to the palace alone.

The palace still looked like that, and Xun Zhen gradually became disgusted when he saw it again. How many people have been trapped by the weird and unreasonable palace maid rules?
The Shanggong Bureau is busy every day, and now less than two days are left until the day when Zhang Zhen will be selected in the competition, and the promising female historians are gearing up to show their talents.

In the end, Xu You announced that she would be in charge of the position of the secretary, and that she would not choose a candidate for the time being, so the other high-ranking ladies were quiet and did not make frequent small movements.

After Xun Zhen had dinner, he saw that Qian Fang'er was working hard to prepare for the Zhang Zhen competition, but Zhuang Cui'e was going all out for the winter clothes for the court ladies.

Xun Zhen was rushing to make the crown prince and crown dress, but Zhuang Cui'e pushed the door in with a lot of gifts and smiled, "My lord, this is a gift from those female officials, should I accept it or not?"

Xun Zhen took a look and shook his head. Ever since Xu You announced that decision, people would come to give gifts every day, and even if they refused, they would still send them. It was really annoying. "Aunt Zhuang, return all these gifts, and say that if they are sent again, I will write down the name, and then I won't want my ticket."

Zhuang Cui'e saw Xun Zhen's serious face, and thought she was young so she didn't care much about money, "The ruler is too honest, and there is no harm in accepting it. Anyway, when there are so many products, whoever votes will not be the master." The adults make their own decisions?"

"Aunt Zhuang, even though that's what you said, it's not easy for them to accumulate this little money. I know that I won't be selfish, so why should I spend money on them? Don't turn around and be wrong, it's better to return it." Xun Xun Zhen smiled, thought for a while, and said: "Aunt Zhuang, if you also want this position, I will help you."

Zhuang Cui'e was stunned, and then smiled wryly, "This is not a good time for me to make a comeback. The master knows that I was demoted as a female historian. If I squeeze my head in now, no matter how good my work is, I won't get it." People appreciate it, so why bother yourself, it's better to work hard with the master in charge."

Xun Zhen took Zhuang Cui'e's hand, "Aunt Zhuang, if there is a chance in the future, I will definitely help you get back to your original position."

"I am satisfied with the words of Master in Control." Zhuang Cui'e smiled. With her seniority in the Shanggong Bureau for so many years, how can she not see that Xun Zhen has someone in her mind? He tested her, and her statement was just right, so Xun Zhen's last words were the most sincere, which was of great benefit to her.

Xun Zhen knew that Zhuang Cui'e understood her thoughts, who in this palace could not understand her thoughts?
The next day, Xu Youcai returned to the Shanggong Bureau. His originally strong body seemed to have lost a lot of weight, and he was not very energetic. When he came back, he locked himself in the room and no one called him .

Seeing this, Xun Zhen sighed softly. It was up to Xu You himself to calm down, and no one else could help even if they wanted to.

Mo Huayi, however, kept her ears to the outside world. For her, this opportunity was too important to ignore. Even with the help of the man in the cloak, she would not be careless.

Today, the Shanggong Bureau is naturally very lively, even some young maids who have just been assigned to the Shanggong Bureau crowded outside the door to peek, and a group of court ladies who are not female historians are also interested in whispering to see who is most likely to be appointed Hand treasure?
When Mo Huayi entered the door, he deliberately bumped into Lu Rong, and then sneered: "Lu Rong, you also have the intention to run for Zhang Zhen? With your skill and careless way of doing things, the position of Zhang Zhen is not yours." I think it’s better to quit the election quickly.”

"Mo Huayi, don't look down on me, I won't lose to you." Lu Rong said unconvinced.

"Hmph, let's all ride donkeys and wait and see who can have the last laugh." Mo Huayi held his head high and wanted to step through the door first.

Zhuang Cui'e stretched out her hand to stop her, "Nv Shi Mo, our master in charge is right behind, don't tell me you still have to be the first to enter the door, it's against the rules."

Mo Huayi glanced at Xun Zhen behind him, and sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth. It doesn't matter if she backs off, it's just this time, and when she becomes a palm treasure, let's see if Xun Zhen can still play a big role?Then he retreated to the side, "My lord, please."

Xun Zhen glanced at Mo Huayi's haughty eyes, "Nv Shi Mo seems pretty sure."

"Tolai, after all, I have been with Master Zhang Zhen for a long time, and I have learned a lot." Mo Huayi raised his eyes and smiled provocatively.

Xun Zhen smiled back at her unceremoniously, and grabbed Lu Rong's hand, "Rong Rong, let's go in."

Lu Rong was pulled in by Xun Zhen, turned her head and winked at Mo Huayi, Mo Huayi's face turned livid with anger.

Everyone in the Shanggong Bureau stood at their respective positions and waited for Xu You's arrival. During this time, only the high-ranking maids whispered a few words, and the others held their breaths and remained silent.
