Chapter 179: Undercurrent (1)
The queen's problem is not small, not to mention that time does not allow it, just this similar one that can replace the word "longevity" is enough for Zeng Rong.
Besides, Zeng Rong still has a lot of purses in his hand that need to be circled with gold leaf threads, how can he free his hands in a hurry?
So, Zeng Rong looked at Liu Chunmiao again.
Liu Chunmiao had to bow down and reply: "Queen Qiyu, Ah Rong still has the work of rewarding purses on the Queen Mother's birthday, those purses have a longevity character on them, and they also need to embroider a circle of lace with gold leaf thread, and those purses are originally intended to be used to send blessings to the masters, but this skill is only Ah Rong alone, Queen, you see?" ”
"Oh, and this thing, if that's the case, then let's get those purses first, and move the ten princes' regular clothes later." The Empress took a step back.
She didn't dare to say that if she stopped those purses first, she would offend a large number of people, besides, Liu Chunmiao also said that those purses were to send blessings to the juniors, and she was in trouble at this time, but I was afraid that Tong Yao's woman would not let her go.
That's it, she set Zeng Rong in front of the Queen Mother first, Tong Yao can't cross her clearly if she wants to rob, it's better to leave it like this for the time being, and let Zeng Rong jump for a few more days.
Imperial Concubine Tong Yao naturally saw the queen's intentions, pursed her lips and smiled, she didn't pay attention to a little Zeng Rong, but she has always lost people and not lost battles, besides, who loses may not be.
Therefore, as soon as the queen finished speaking, without waiting for the queen mother to speak, Tong Yao smiled first: "Queen Qiyu, this is really unfortunate, the emperor said a few days ago that he wanted to make a few pairs of spring shoes, and pointed out that he wanted this little embroidered upper, and the concubine didn't know that the queen wanted to make regular clothes for the ten highnesses, and she had already ordered it to go down, it was really weird, the concubines asked the queen to show it, is it possible to take the ten highnesses down first or the queen to move back?" ”
When the Queen Mother saw that these two people were arguing over this trivial matter, she couldn't help but look at Zeng Rong again, daring to love this little girl was actually a fragrant bait, she looked away?
Queen Wang naturally didn't dare to fight with the emperor, so she quickly admitted it again, and still said with a smile: "Sister Lao is worried, so naturally the emperor is the most important." ”
Seeing this, Zeng Rong was afraid that something would affect him in a while, so he hurriedly pulled Liu Chunmiao's sleeve, Liu Chunmiao bowed and replied: "Empress Dowager, Queen Mother and masters, if there is nothing else, the slave and maid will retire first." ”
"Go ahead." After speaking, the Queen Mother seemed to think of something, "Slow, this kid is here for the first time, and he has been busy for the mourning family for some time, and the mourning family has to give some reward." ”
The imperial concubine pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and said: "Empress Dowager Qiyu, this child is not the first time to come, the concubine came to greet the Queen Mother on the day of February Erlong's head, and saw her outside the door, saying that she was waiting for a little sister here." ”
"Oh, and that?" The Queen Mother looked at Zeng Rong.
Zeng Rong was just about to speak, but Queen Wang smiled: "After returning to my mother, there was indeed such a thing, and my daughter-in-law and the emperor also met that day, and the emperor also praised this little girl, saying that she was gentle and smart, but there was a little, not like a thirteen-year-old child, presumably because she suffered a lot when she was a child and didn't grow up." ”
"No, it's not like a thirteen-year-old child, come, come, I touch the palm." The Queen Mother beckoned to Zeng Rong.
Zeng Rong was a hundred unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything, so he had to bow down and walk to the kang and hand it over.
Because of the embroidery work, Zeng Rong didn't wear anything on her hands, not only that, but her head was also bare, and her hair was wrapped with ribbons, so that when she lowered her head, the hair would fall down and affect her work.
It's just that in this way, it seems that she is more and more young, and she is indeed almost the same as a ten-year-old child, but there is one point, this head shape just shows her smooth and full forehead, and the Queen Mother is also in her forehead, and she feels that this face is good, not like an unblessed person.
The Queen Mother took the palm handed over by Zeng Rong, first pinched the palm, felt that it was quite thick, nodded slightly, and then pinched her palm and fingers.
Zeng Rong's hands not only have calluses and various scars left by doing farm work before, but also new calluses left by holding needles and holding pens recently.
"It's really strange and pitiful, it's the long body, but you can't eat enough? Also, I don't look very good, why? The Queen Mother asked Zeng Rong.
"Empress Dowager Qiyu, I can eat well, my complexion is not good, I must be scared, the slave maid is a little embroidery girl, the first time I entered Cining Palace, I suddenly saw so many nobles, I was very scared, for fear that I would make a mistake and bump into all the nobles." Zeng Rong replied.
This explanation is also reasonable, the key is that it also caters to the psychology of these people who claim to be noble, so without waiting for the Queen Mother to speak, Queen Wang smiled first: "Look at this little mouth, you can really talk." ”
"Not only can she speak, but her hands are also skillful, and her temperament is good, otherwise, the emperor will not praise her for being smart and gentle." The imperial concubine echoed.
"It's not bad to look at the mourning family." The Queen Mother also smiled, and then motioned to the palace maid beside her: "Bring the pair of gold leaf flowers that I received some time ago." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the palace maid's eyes when she heard this, but she quickly lowered her eyebrows, turned around and entered the next room, and took out a small box of rosewood.
The Queen Mother took the small box and opened it in front of Zeng Rong, "This is the jewelry that the mourning family wore when they were young, but it happened that it was turned out a few days ago and it was refurbished. ”
Zeng Rong didn't even look at it and knelt down in a hurry, "Queen Qiyu, the slave and the maid don't dare, the slave and the maid are the body of the grass and trees, the queen mother is the phoenix among the people, borrow a hundred dares from the slave and the maid, and the slave and the maid dare not use the queen mother... ”
"The mourning family said that it could be done, but dare to resist the order?" The Queen Mother pulled her face.
"Huh?" Zeng Rong raised his head, and looked at the Queen Mother with a pair of watery eyes, as if he was frightened, how can he say that he will turn his face?
"What a stupid boy, what a blessing this is, don't hurry up and kowtow to thank you." Queen Wang laughed on the side.
She had already seen clearly that the box contained a pair of peony flowers made of gold leaf, the petals were as thin as cicada wings, the stamens were made of dozens of gold wires, and a pearl the size of a small thumb was strung in the middle for decoration, which was very beautiful, very chic, and naturally very precious.
At the beginning, Queen Wang did not understand the Queen Mother's intention of sending this peony flower to Zeng Rong, but the Queen Mother's sentence "Just say okay" reminded the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother was afraid that she also fell in love with Zeng Rong, for naturally not herself, but the eldest grandson she put in the palm of her hand, Zhu Heng.
Zhu Heng is not young, although he may not be humane, but he should also be accompanied by a caring person, otherwise, how can the Queen Mother feel at ease if he has such a long life in this life?
