Chapter 418: Understanding People

Zeng Rong didn't know what Zheng Jiao said to the emperor, but she knew that the emperor ordered someone to call Imperial Doctor Zeng and diagnosed the fact that Zheng Jiao was pregnant on the spot.

After that, Zhu Xu sent Chang Dezi back to the palace to see Queen Wang, until the day before the Midyear Festival, Zhu Xu moved back to the palace, and Queen Wang did not send the imperial doctor to diagnose Zheng Jiao's pulse.

Because of the ancestor worship in the Midyear Festival, Queen Wang could not participate in the pregnancy, so she had to announce her pregnancy, and then Zheng Jiao's pregnancy was also made public, and there was also a pregnant Tian Guifei.

Sure enough, with the two important figures of Queen Wang and Tian Guifei in front, the news of Zheng Jiao's pregnancy did not make much splash.

Especially Tian Guifei, who was pregnant at an advanced age of more than 30, really rekindled the hope of the older concubines in the palace who had no heirs, and they tried every means to please the queen or the eunuchs or female officials around the emperor, even Zeng Rong was also affected and was sought after.

In addition, this time Zhu Heng rushed back to worship the ancestors during the Midyear Festival, and stood beside Zhu Xu as the eldest son to participate in the whole process of worshipping the ancestors, and Zhu Wu replaced him in the past.

As soon as several things were attacked, the imperial concubine fell ill again.

When the news came, Zhu Xu rushed to Yaohua Palace as soon as possible, and postponed the audience of two groups of officials for this reason.

In the next few days, Zhu Xu would go to Yaohua Palace with part of the folds at dinnertime, accompany the imperial concubine to dinner, stay by her side to review the folds, and stay in Yaohua Palace at night.

I don't know if the emperor still soothed Tong Yao with the same care or something else, in short, this time Tong Yao's illness quickly improved, even the pimples on her face were cleared, and the complexion that grew back was more tender and smoother than before, Tong Yao was overjoyed, because after she recovered from her illness, the emperor still frequently stayed in Yaohua Palace.

Early this morning, Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan should be on duty, Li Ruolan couldn't get up because she had eaten something bad the night before, so she had to send the palace maid around her to inform Zeng Rong, and let Zeng Rong go alone to take down the period of early chaoqian.

Who knew that Zeng Rong rushed to Qianning Palace early in the morning, but the emperor was not there, saying that he would stay in Yaohua Palace last night. So, she hurried to Yaohua Palace, at that time Tong Yao was sorting out court clothes for the emperor, seeing Zeng Rong, her face was full of smiles, and without waiting for her to ask, she told her the emperor's bedtime, sleep status and wake-up time one by one.

When Zeng Rong finished recording and wanted to go out with the emperor, Tong Yao left her behind, saying that she also prepared goat milk and snacks for her.

Zeng Rong chuckled in his heart, this is not a good thing.

Because the female officials in the palace did not have this treatment, the emperor took special care of her when he saw that she was young and growing in health, and it was only when she was on duty in Qianning Palace.

Tong Yao saw Zeng Rong's resistance, stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Zhu Xu's left arm and said, "Your Majesty, Historian Zeng does not accept the love of his concubines, presumably because he dislikes the goat milk of his concubines and is not as sweet as that of Qianning Palace." ”

"Back to Niangniang, Xia Guan happened to be a little hungry in his belly, thank you Niang Niang for thinking carefully, Xia Guan is grateful, and there is no dislike." Zeng Rong hurriedly responded.

Zhu Xu glanced at her, seemed to remember something, and asked her, "Why are you the only one today?" "Qingqing

"Back to the emperor, Aunt Li had diarrhea last night, and the lower official thought that there was nothing big in the morning, so he asked her to come over later to make up for sleep." Zeng Rong replied.

Zhu Xu was noncommittal when he heard this, nodded to Tong Yao, and strode away.

Seeing the emperor's back out of the gate, Tong Yao turned around, half-tilted his head, and smiled at Zeng Rong, "Let's go, let's go in." ”

"Oh, Xie Niangniang is considerate." Zeng Rong bowed and said.

"Well, it's not worth it when you thank and thank you. This palace looks at you very casually in front of the emperor, why are you so restrained in front of the palace, do you think this palace is more terrible than the emperor? Tong Yao glanced at Zeng Rong and said.

While talking, the two entered the west room where Tong Yao usually meets guests, Tong Yao sat down on the kang, and Zeng Rong stood in the middle of the room, during which Zeng Rong was given time to think.

"Back to Niangniang, the time for the lower officials to enter the palace is not long, and restraint is inevitable, not only in front of Niangniang, but also in front of the emperor and other masters. It's just that I have been on an errand by the emperor's side for more than a year, and I am more or less familiar with each other, and after a long time, it will inevitably bring out a little bit of nature, and please be considerate. ”

"Oh, you mean you're only restrained because you're not familiar with this palace? Bengong remembers that in the old years, when you were in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, you would run to Yaohua Palace, and Bengong thought that we were familiar enough. It's a pity that later you went to the Inner Court Bureau as a female historian, and rarely set foot in Yaohua Palace, and when you saw this palace, you became more and more angry. After Tong Yao finished speaking, she motioned to the palace maid to move an embroidery pier for Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong didn't dare to sit down, "Back to Niangniang, there is no birth, and the lower officials have always remembered Niangniang's kindness and teachings." ”

"Oh, this palace doesn't know, this palace is still kind to you, why don't you talk about it, what kind of grace is there?" Tong Yao hooked the corners of her mouth, smiled mockingly, and said.

"Back to Niangniang, if there is no Niangniang to help you that day, the lower officials will not be able to enter the inner prison. Also, the first time the lower official was on duty, it was here, when the emperor punished the lower official, it was the mother who begged for the lower official. Moreover, thanks to Niangniang's generosity, the lower official did not complete Niangniang's scriptures, and Niangniang neither corporally punished the lower official nor did she have any complaints. Further along, Xia Guan was fortunate to be hand-picked by Niang Niang to embroider a few small items, Niang Niang gave Xia Guan a pair of gold bracelets as a thank you gift, all this, Xia Guan has always remembered in his heart. Zeng Rong carefully recalled the several exchanges between the two and replied very sincerely.

Because Zeng Rong bowed his head and lowered his eyes to reply, Tong Yao couldn't see Zeng Rong's face, he could only see Zeng Rong's slightly drooping head, staring at Zeng Rong's head and thinking for a while, Tong Yao said: "It sounds like an understanding person, so good, this palace likes to understand people, and I hope you don't live up to this palace's like." ”

"Whoa." Zeng Rong bowed his head and responded.

After finishing speaking, the palace maids came up with two glasses of goat milk and two plates of snacks, and Tong Yao took one by herself, "Actually, this palace can heal so quickly this time thanks to you." ”

"Me?" Zeng Rong raised his head and his eyes widened, he was really frightened by this sentence.

Tong Yao smiled and motioned to the palace maid to send the remaining goat milk and snacks to Zeng Rong, and then, she took two mouthfuls of goat milk, picked up a piece of dim sum and put it in her mouth, took a small bite, and chewed it carefully.

After she ate two pieces of snacks and drank goat milk, she took out a silk handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and saw that Zeng Rong also put down the cup, so she spoke: "This palace has been eating with the emperor these days, and I know that the emperor's daily meal list is listed by you." Yes, it is light and delicious, especially for people like Hongu. But Hongu remembers that Hongu once asked you for a menu, how did you reply to Hongu at that time? ”

Well, Zeng Rong was really a little dumbfounded now.
