After hearing what Queen Zhang said, Zhang Guoji's face showed some embarrassment.
He just wanted to ask his daughter for some advice, but he didn't really want to give up his position as Minister of the Imperial Household Department.
If he really wanted to give up, Zhang Guoji would not have come to the palace to look for his daughter. Now hearing his daughter say this, he felt a little unhappy and embarrassed.
"I just haven't gotten the hang of it yet. Once I do, I'll definitely be able to get used to it quickly." Zhang Guoji said with a smile, "Don't worry."
After hearing her father's words, Empress Zhang became even more worried.
However, looking at her father's expression, Empress Zhang knew that she probably had no way of convincing him. It seemed that she could consider starting with His Majesty, but thinking of His Majesty's expression, Empress Zhang was not very confident.
"Then why did father come to the palace this time?" asked Empress Zhang.
Since there is no way to persuade my father to give up, I can only help him do his best to get things done and not mess things up before he even starts.
So Empress Zhang directly asked about the essence of the matter.
Zhang Guoji thought about it, gritted his teeth and said, "This is what happened..."
So Zhang Guoji told the whole story to Empress Zhang. He was in an awkward situation.
After saying this, Zhang Guoji said helplessly: "You have seen it too. I don't know what to do now."
Hearing these words, Empress Zhang opened her eyes wide, her mouth slightly opened, and she said in disbelief: "How could they do this?"
In fact, this was not what Empress Zhang was thinking in her mind. She was thinking, how could these people be so shameless?
How dare they do such a thing?
They are so bold! Aren’t they afraid that Your Majesty will punish them?
Seeing her father looking at her expectantly, Empress Zhang became a little anxious because she didn't know what to do.
The first thing that flashed through Empress Zhang’s mind was Zhu Youxiao.
Empress Zhang felt that she should ask His Majesty. Even if His Majesty did not give her a solution, she could ask His Majesty to revoke his order and stop her father from doing this.
Thinking of this, Empress Zhang calmed down and said, "Father, you can go back first. I will send you a message later."
Zhang Guoji was a little confused after hearing what Empress Zhang said, but he knew there was no way to continue asking, so he said, "Then I will go back first."
Empress Zhang nodded and instructed, "Bring your mother with you next time you go to the palace. I miss her a little."
When saying this, Empress Zhang felt a little embarrassed and looked like a little girl.
Hearing his daughter mention her biological mother, Zhang Guoji felt warm in his heart. He nodded gently and said with a smile, "Okay."
After Zhang Guoji left, Empress Zhang thought for a while and called Wang An over.
Since the last incident, Wang An has been very close to the Kunning Palace. Because of this relationship, Empress Zhang trusts Wang An and decides to ask him first.
After Wang An heard what Queen Zhang said, a thoughtful look appeared on his face.
Wang An didn't expect that so many people would want to put people in the Imperial Household Department, but if he really let them in, the Imperial Household Department would be breaking the law before it was even established.
Who would dare to do nepotism and form cliques for personal gain?
So this is absolutely not possible.
But if he didn't agree, he would offend many people, including officials in the court, nobles and relatives of the nobles.
Under such circumstances, this task becomes difficult to handle. You cannot offend anyone, but you also have to reject them all. This is a very puzzling thing.
But Wang An also knew that this was impossible to do because these two things contradicted each other. If you wanted to avoid offending them, you had to use their people, and if you didn't use their people, you would offend them.
There was no choice about the pros and cons of a matter. Wang An was extremely anxious.
Glancing at Empress Zhang, Wang An said, "Your Majesty, I think we should ask the Emperor."
Empress Zhang nodded and said, "In that case, let's go ask His Majesty!"
After saying this, Empress Zhang stood up and walked towards the Qianqing Palace.
Empress Zhang didn't feel any burden in her heart. In her opinion, this was just a small matter. Considering the emperor's love for her, this was not a big deal at all.
"Your Majesty, the Empress is here." Chen Hong came to Zhu Youxiao and bowed.
Zhu Youxiao nodded.
In fact, Zhu Youxiao had guessed long ago that Zhang Guoji must have something going on when he entered the palace, and he even knew what it was.
This matter is difficult to handle, so it is not surprising that Empress Zhang came to see him.
Putting down the carving knife in his hand, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Let the queen come in."
In Zhu Youxiao's other hand was an unfinished wooden sculpture, which, judging from the outline, should be a woman.
Zhu Youxiao carefully put away the wooden model, placed it in a wooden box covered with red velvet, and then gently closed the lid.
After Zhu Youxiao finished all this, Empress Zhang also walked in from outside.
