Chapter 420, first cut and then play
When Zeng Rong returned to Qianning Palace, the emperor had not yet gone down to the court, and Li Ruolan had not yet arrived, so she went to the compartment alone to sort out this text in the morning.
In just a stick of incense, Zeng Rong completed this copywriting, and when she had nothing to do, she opened the small box, took out this pair of red coral bracelets, and was holding them in her hand to compare whether the size and roundness of these coral beads were consistent, when a cough suddenly came from behind.
Zeng Rong was startled, because she hadn't heard any movement before, but she didn't think that she was too concentrated, it should be that the other party deliberately didn't make any movement.
"Your Majesty, don't bring it so scary." Zeng Rong complained.
"Scary? I look at you very beautiful, how about it, I bought you with a pair of strings? Zhu Xu glanced at the thing in her hand, turned around and went out.
He didn't even change his court clothes, and when he heard that this little girl was hiding in the compartment alone, he thought that this girl was wronged and hid and cried.
"What the emperor said was that the lower official was the one who didn't open his eyes to see the wealth, and the lower official also knew that he would not be punished, but the imperial concubine didn't say that the lower official coaxed her to be happy, and also said that she recovered from her illness this time thanks to the menu that the lower official gave the emperor these days, and the lower official couldn't do it, so she had to accept this reward." Zeng Rong explained.
When Zhu Xu heard this, he immediately turned around and looked at Zeng Rong's eyes flashing slightly, "Are you blaming me?" ”
He also remembered that it seemed that this girl had said that she had ordered this menu for Zhu Heng privately, and she didn't want outsiders to know. And he also heard Ah Yao talk about the light and delicious dishes that day, so he casually mentioned that it was Zeng Rong's menu.
Now that A-Yao took out this matter and rewarded Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong listed the matter to him in a complaining tone, presumably because there was something he didn't know.
But even so, Zhu Xu didn't want to give Zeng Rong an illusion, thinking that he could carry everything for her, and there had been gossip in the harem for a long time, saying that he was used to this girl without bounds, and the treatment was comparable to that of a princess, and it was even rumored that the father-son relationship between him and Zhu Heng could be repaired because he loved the house and Wu, and this house was Zeng Rong, and Zhu Heng was just the Wu who lived in the house.
It's ridiculous.
"Back to the emperor, the lower officials are not, the lower officials are stating the facts to you, and the lower officials dare not bear a charge of bullying the king." After Zeng Rong finished speaking, seeing the emperor take off his court clothes, Chang Dezi helped him change his regular clothes, and hurriedly poured a cup of warm tea and handed it to the emperor.
Zhu Xu took the cup and rinsed his mouth first, Xiao Quanzi used a white porcelain cup to take the dirty water he spit out, and Zhu Xu drank two more sips of tea and handed the cup back to Zeng Rong.
Seeing that Xiao Quanzi had withdrawn, Zhu Xu asked Zeng Rong how he made Tong Yao happy.
He didn't think that Ah Yao could really like Zeng Rong, nor did he think that Zeng Rong could betray Zhu Heng to throw himself into Ah Yao, so he was afraid that the effect of this opponent string was only used to test him, and maybe Zhu Heng also existed.
Zeng Rong roughly retold the conversation between the two of them, which focused on mentioning that she lied herself, hoping that the emperor could help her round.
"Okay, I just said that I don't deceive the king, what is this, you tell me, what is this called?" Zhu Heng blew his beard, kicked his eyes, and trained again.
"Back to the emperor, this is called cutting first and then playing, but the lower officials were also unable at that time, and they had to be charged with deception both horizontally and vertically, and the lower officials would rather fall into the hands of the emperor than fall into the hands of others, so they could only cut first and then play." The more Zeng Rong spoke, the quieter his voice became.
To be honest, she was also afraid, and she was not very confident, after all, the man in front of him was none other than the emperor, the emperor who held the power to kill all the lives of the Great Zhou.
"Hmph, are you going to eat and I can't take you?" After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he instructed Chang Dezi: "You sent this girl to the Huanyi Bureau, I don't want to see her, she is full of lies and doesn't tell anything, even I dare to calculate and dare to use it?" ”
"Back to the emperor, the lower officials don't dare, and the lower officials are not called calculations and uses, the lower officials dare to do this because they trust the emperor, and now the emperor sends the lower officials to the Huanyi Bureau, don't you tell the imperial concubine clearly, the lower officials lied, the lower officials..."
Before Zeng Rong finished speaking, Zhu Xu picked up the fold at hand and threw it at Zeng Rong, "Okay, even the threat is used this time." ”
Seeing that it didn't hurt to smash on Zeng Rong's body, Zhu Xu wanted to change something, and was just about to pick up the paperweight on the desk, but he felt that the paperweight was too heavy, and he should feel distressed if he really hit this girl. So, he stretched out his hand to the tea cup again, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the bamboo bear ornament on the desk, there was a glass cover outside, he just stretched out his hand to this ornament, only to see Zeng Rong pounce.
"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, don't smash it, don't smash it for the sake of the lower official who has stayed up for a few nights, the lower official will listen to you, the lower official will go to the Huanyi Bureau, you can't see it, just ask the emperor to think of the lower official when he is angry, and call the lower official back as soon as possible." Otherwise, the lower officials will definitely think about the emperor in the Huanyi Bureau, and they will also talk about the emperor every day, the emperor is so good to take care of your life, eat well, be less angry, and hurt your body a lot. Zeng Rong picked up the ornament and put it in Chang Dezi's hand while breaking his thoughts.
"Father-in-law Chang, you accompany the emperor, so as to coax him to dissipate his anger, I will go to the Huanyi Bureau by myself, you can rest assured, I will go by myself, but I have to go back to change into coarse cloth clothes first, and I have to go to the Inner Court Bureau to find an aunt to replace me, I can't delay the emperor's business."
Zeng Rong really walked out as she spoke, and when she arrived at the door, she saw that the emperor had not yet opened her mouth to keep her, knowing that she had really angered the emperor this time, she had no bottom in her heart, and tears fell unconsciously.
Sucked it up, wiped her tears with her hands, and went out of the door of the study, and when she was about to reach the door of the main hall, she saw Father-in-law Chang shouting behind her: "Miss Zeng, you didn't take your bracelet." ”
"Don't." Zeng Rong was angry and replied.
Something, if it weren't for it, this might not have happened today.
"Oh, obedient, hurry up and get it, this is something given by the imperial concubine, how can you say don't want it?" Chang Dezi chased her out, pushed her in, and snorted her mouth, signaling her to say a few more good words to the emperor.
Zeng Rong was also embarrassed, she had just said so softly, but the emperor didn't give her any room for maneuver, what else could she say?
Besides, the emperor was sitting at the desk, staring at the fold in his hand motionlessly, and he didn't even give her a look, how could she speak?
Who knew that when Zeng Rong just stepped into the compartment and sorted out his things, there was a message from a eunuch outside, and the cabinet minister asked to see him.
In this way, Zeng Rong was given a chance, and she couldn't go, because she would need a female historian.
