Chapter 10 This is a demonstration
General Yudu's Mansion
Qu Chucai returned from the city defense army camp and just stepped into the threshold of the General's Mansion, the housekeeper came up to report: "General, three waves of people from the palace are waiting for you in the main hall."
Qu Chu nodded and signaled that he knew, and strode towards the main hall.
There were three people sitting separately in the main hall, and behind them was a palace maid or eunuch who served them.
Qu Chujin sat down on the main seat, "What are the matter with the father-in-law and nanny?"
A father-in-law in his 40s, with a white face and no beard spoke first.
"General Qu, our family was sent by the Empress. The Empress asked you: Why did you expel her nephew Shao Ronghua from the military?"
Looking at the eunuch who was arrogant and speaking with a sharp voice, Qu Chu dusted his clothes.
"This general enforces military rules in the army, and he doesn't know anything about Shao Ronghua and Wang Ronghua. Since you say he was expelled from military status, it must be that he violated the military rules."
"What violates military law?" said my father-in-law disdainfully: "It's just that I didn't go when I gathered."
Qu Chu slapped the table hard, and after a loud "bang", the table was divided into two.
"That's a violation of military rules. I'm extremely kind to not treat him as a deserter."
Everyone present was shocked by this sensation.
"You, you...", the father-in-law pointed at Qu Chu with his finger, "Aren't you afraid of offending the Empress?"
Qu Chu clasped his fists and arched:
"I am the chief instructor personally appointed by Your Majesty. Under His Majesty's orders, I will naturally follow my orders and devote myself to my work. Other people and things are not within the scope of my consideration.
Is there anything else to do? Please go back if there is nothing else.”
This father-in-law is the queen's confidant, Eunuch He, who has ever been neglected like this. He stood up and snorted coldly: "I hope General Qu will do what he says."
After saying that, he left with a slightest touch.
Qu Chu looked at the other two, "What's wrong with the two father-in-law and nanny?"
The two of them also came for the same thing. But just now, seeing Qu Chu ruthlessly rejecting the people in the queen's harem with his own eyes, he did not think that his concubine's face was greater than that of the queen.
Therefore, please stop saying pleading.
A nanny smiled:
"I am the Hua Madam in the palace of Concubine Ru. When Concubine Ru heard that the general and the King of Chu were about to get married, he asked me to send me some congratulations."
Qu Chu also calmed down his expression and was no longer as fierce as before.
"I'm sorry to go back and tell Concubine Ru that I will thank her. When Concubine Ru has a happy event, I will join in the fun."
Madam Hua hurriedly said, "That's good. I'll tell Concubine Ru after I go back."
Qu Chu looked at another father-in-law and said, "I wonder what this father-in-law has to do?"
This father-in-law is Eunuch Liu in the imperial concubine's palace, and he also pleaded with the imperial concubine's order to plead for others. However, the imperial concubine did not prepare a gift. But at this point, Eunuch Liu had to force her face.
"The Imperial Concubine also heard the news that the general and the prince got married and asked me to come and ask: Is there any place for the general to help? If there is, don't be polite."
Qu Chu also replied politely:
"Thank you for your kindness in the imperial concubine. I'm sorry to ask my father-in-law to go back and thank you for me. However, I am a general, and I don't have to be as particular as the girls in Yudu to get married, so there is no place to help."
Eunuch Liu had no choice but to agree.
...
After the people in the palace left, Qu Chu went to the backyard.
After Qu Bingyu recovered from illness, he opened a medicinal field in the backyard of the General's Mansion and planted several strange medicinal materials.
Because he grew up with Qu Bingyu, Qu Chu still knew these medicinal herbs. One of them was called "blood vine grass". In addition to its powerful blood-replenishing effect, it also has miraculous effects against epidemics.
"Bingyu, you are fiddling with these medicinal herbs again."
When Qu Bingyu saw Qu Chu, a smile appeared on his face. "I haven't fiddled with these for many years, and I feel that they are still friendly."
Qu Chu didn't care about the loopholes in Qu Bingyu's words, but just thought she was just a casual sigh.
But Qu Bingyu was thinking:
How stupid I was in my previous life? After getting married, I only thought about the love and misunderstanding, and I missed my feelings on people who were not worth it, but instead lost my skill to the life of peace.
...
"Bingyu, I'll take you out for a walk tomorrow. If you have anything you want to eat, you will satisfy you if you want to buy."
"Okay", the smile on Qu Bingyu's face became stronger and stronger. "You are about to get married, and I will choose some things for you to get married."
...

In the palace of the queen
Eunuch He said something in great detail about what happened in the General's Mansion today.
"Empress, I see that General Qu is arrogant and doesn't take you in your eyes. You don't know that she slapped the table in front of me, and the best rosewood table cracked from it and split into two.
She is demonstrating.”
The queen is the eldest daughter of Duke Wei. She grew up with stars and her temper was originally a bit domineering. Later, she became the queen and gave birth to a eldest prince, and her temperament was even more arrogant.
Now that he heard Eunuch He say this, he slapped on the table in anger, "It's unreasonable!"
Eunuch He instigated: "It's better for the Empress to issue an oral order to let her enter the palace and humiliate her at that time."
The queen heard this and really thought about this method.
...
After breakfast the next day, Qu Chu accompanied Qu Bingyu out in a carriage.
According to Qu Bingyu's meaning, he first went to "Embroidered Yifang".
"Embroidered Yifang" is the largest garment store in the Dayu Kingdom. It has dozens of branches across the country, and many excellent embroiderers and garment makers gathered. The clothes made are unique in style. Even the empresses in the palace occasionally go to "Embroidered Yifang" to customize several sets of regular clothes.
The General's Mansion does not have its own needle workshop like other noble mansions in Yudu. In the past, Qu Bingyu's clothes were bought outside. However, the underwear and middle clothes that Qu Chu wore were all sewn by Qu Bingyu himself.
...
Embroidery workshop
Qu Bingyu was carefully selecting clothes, while Qu Chu sat on one side to ponder things. Suddenly, Qu Chu heard a quarrel coming from the other side.
Not good! It’s Bingyu quarreling with someone!
Qu Chu stood up and headed towards the sound.
The confrontation with Qu Bingyu was a seventeen-eight-year-old girl. Judging from which lady she should be from a powerful family, she should be dressed.
Qu Chu asked coldly, "What's the matter?"
"Achu, I have a crush on these ice silks and want to make you underwear. I have agreed with the store owner, but this person suddenly appears and competes with me."
In Qu Chu's impression, Qu Bingyu has always been very tolerant and never quarrels with others, for fear of causing trouble for herself. Unexpectedly, when he came to Yudu, he had some confidence.
Qu Chu naturally helped Qu Bingyu.
