Although he guessed that Zhu Heng was listening to the training on the Queen Mother's side, Zeng Rong couldn't go over, so he could only sit down and wait anxiously.

However, because of the presence of outsiders, Zeng Rong did not enter the study or bedroom, but sat on the circle chair in the hall, and the box in his hand was placed on the high table next to him.

Rao is like this, Zhen Qing saw that she sat uninvited, as if she regarded herself as half a master, and she still felt a little unhappy in her heart, so she turned around and ordered Xiao Luzi to serve tea to Zeng Rong, and she still used the word "guest".

Zeng Rong was thinking about how Zhu Heng would persuade the Queen Mother at the moment, and ignored the word "guest" that Zhen Qing said, until Xiao Luzi came over with a tray of tea and two plates of snacks, Zeng Rong took his thoughts back and asked, "How long has His Royal Highness been out?" ”

"It's been half an hour." Xiao Luzi bowed his head and replied.

"What is the matter for so long?" Zeng Rong asked deliberately.

Xiao Luzi didn't answer this time, but glanced at Zhen Qing with low eyebrows.

Zhen Qing saw that Xiao Luzi didn't squeak, but said generously: "It's related to me." ”

Then, Zhen Qing said that yesterday, Queen Wang and the imperial concubine came to greet the Queen Mother, and when it came to Zhu Heng's birthday, they asked what the arrangements were.

Because of Zhu Heng's self-isolation in previous years, his birthday was generally not celebrated much, only the Queen Mother went to eat noodles with him, and by the way, he sent the gifts that everyone gave him, and Zhu Heng himself basically ignored them, did not open them, and did not look at them.

But this year is different from previous years, this year Zhu Heng not only walked out of Chuhua Palace and lived in Cining Palace, he also entered the eyes of the emperor, was taken by the emperor to the sacrificial platform to go boating on the lake, and was also taken by the emperor to the country to listen to the debate, which is not even Zhu Wu's treatment.

For this reason, the women of the harem no longer dare to despise this eldest son in a wheelchair as before.

Of course, this proposal was made by Queen Wang first, she is the queen, the master of the harem, and Zhu Heng's mother-in-law, so she should care more about this crippled eldest son.

Another point, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, she obviously felt that Tong Yao had more small actions against her, first looking for various reasons to dominate the emperor, and then violating her various arrangements, and even co-opting others to provoke disputes in the harem, and then one is that there is a Zhaoyi in the harem who was suddenly born prematurely when she was eight months pregnant, and the child was not saved, it was a male fetus, and the female doctor could not find out the specific reason so far, and finally the imperial doctor checked her daily diet list and said that it might be related to her diet.

Not only pregnant women, but all the concubines in the harem are in charge of the queen's diet, so as soon as the words of the imperial doctor came out, the queen was speechless.

Fortunately, the Queen Mother still trusted her, personally supported her, and found a lot of circumstantial evidence for her, listing many reasons for premature birth.

Therefore, she should repay the favor, and Queen Wang wanted to celebrate Zhu Heng's birthday lively, which also made the Queen Mother's old people happy.

Moreover, this move can also be regarded as pulling some hatred to Zhu Heng, and the woman from Tong Yao in the province has been staring at her recently.

Wang Tong is not stupid, since the Mid-Autumn Festival, Tong Yao has been domineering the emperor, and she guessed that it must be the queen mother's pair of jade bracelets and the words that made her have several more sons that stimulated Tong Yao, so she has been thinking about how to deal with it these days.

It's just that what Wang Tong didn't expect was that as soon as she proposed to celebrate Zhu Heng's birthday, Tong Yao actually immediately agreed, not only that, Tong Yao also proposed that Zhu Heng's age is not young, seventeen years old, it is time to get married, even if it is not married for the time being, two people should be put by his side, this is the practice in the palace, the prince can discuss relatives when he is sixteen years old, and before discussing relatives, he can put two palace maids to serve first.

Wang Tong naturally knows that this is a palace rule, but Zhu Heng is not a normal person, so he didn't say that before, Zhu Heng was either sick or accompanied the Queen Mother out to escape the summer in the past half a year, and it was easy to be quiet for two months, and there was another mess around her, and she really didn't care about it.

Therefore, as soon as Tong Yao said, Wang Tong hurriedly took the words, "After returning to my mother, it was my daughter-in-law's fault, and my daughter-in-law ordered someone to arrange this matter." ”

To be honest, Wang Tong is also curious, she also wants to see if Zhu Heng can be a real man.

The Queen Mother naturally knows the temperament and character of this grandson, and the women around her have been returned, not to mention the women arranged for him by the queen.

But if Zhu Heng is willful, it will have some impact on the queen's reputation for Zhu Heng himself and even Zeng Rong, so this matter is really not due to Zhu Heng's willfulness.

"This matter has already been arranged by the mourning family, before the mourning family arranged a palace maid by Heng'er's side, this child is not very fond of it, the mourning family also wants to add another appearance to him with a more brilliant character, but it happens that there is such a person next to the mourning family, it is a new female official who came in in March, the mourning family looked at her coldly for half a year, and I wanted to wait for Heng'er's birthday to mention it to him, since I said this today, the mourning family will send people over." The Queen Mother glanced at the people in the room and said.

Wang Tong understood that the Queen Mother was supporting her again, so she hurriedly got up and stood up, Ying Ying smiled and said: "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your understanding, even so, after the daughter-in-law goes back, she will prepare a big gift for His Royal Highness." ”

Queen Wang said that she was going to prepare a big gift, Tong Yao was naturally not far behind, and said with a smile: "No, two copies and one copy should be given." ”

In this way, Zhen Qing was sent to Zhu Heng yesterday afternoon, but he didn't explicitly say that he would be small, only that there was a lack of people around him.

But just like that, Zhu Heng didn't agree, seeing that he couldn't get rid of Zhen Qing, he went to find the Queen Mother again.

I don't know what the Queen Mother told him, in short, after Zhu Heng came back, he didn't mention anyone again, but he didn't pay attention to Zhen Qing.

Today is the day of Zhu Heng's birthday, and there is a steady stream of congratulatory gifts sent to his house early in the morning, but unfortunately, he is still the same as before, ignoring it, not dismantling or looking, if not, he can peek out from these congratulatory gifts.

After a long time, the Queen Mother ordered someone to call him, Zhen Qing and Amei to the front, saying that they would give everyone a gift and eat a meal of longevity noodles.

When waiting for the empty time of the birthday noodles on the table, Queen Wang, the imperial concubine and others kept congratulating Zhu Heng, at first Zhu Heng didn't understand the taste, thinking that it was just a simple birthday celebration, until someone also congratulated Zhen Qing, Zhu Heng realized that he was deceived by the imperial grandmother.

Immediately, Zhu Heng ordered Amei to push him out, completely ignoring the faces of the women in the room and the Queen Mother's retention, and directly dropped a sentence at the door, he didn't need women.

After the concubines left, the Queen Mother personally sent Zhen Qing to the backyard, and wanted to have a good talk with Zhu Heng, but she didn't know that Zhu Heng was not in the house, so she left Zhen Qing and went back by herself.

Zhu Heng came back more than an hour later, and was directly stopped by the Queen Mother's people.
