On this day, Zeng Rong should be on the evening shift.

After dinner, the sky was still bright, and the emperor didn't know why he had a whim, saying that he was going to the back garden to take a walk and eliminate food.

Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan also followed the emperor into the back garden, coincidentally, when they walked to the chrysanthemum garden, they happened to meet Yu Meiren with two palace maids also hanging out there, Yu Meiren was following the doctor's instructions, and she had to walk around for half an hour every day, in order to not have to work hard in the future when she gave birth.

I don't know if the emperor has snubbed the poppy beauty these days, or because the pregnant woman is already fragile, and the poppy beauty is already delicate and soft, so when I saw the emperor at this moment, the poppy seemed to miss the disaster, and the big tears rolled out like this, crystal clear, with her little face as white as snow, it really responded to a word, pear blossoms bring rain.

The beauty cried, and the emperor blamed himself and felt distressed, grabbing the poppy's hand and coaxing it lowly.

In this case, Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan naturally retreated.

The two discussed it for a while, and retreated to the verandah not far from the entrance of the back garden, afraid that someone who would not open their eyes would come in and disturb the emperor's Yaxing.

When Zeng Rong was guessing who would bump into him without opening his eyes, the imperial concubine appeared, and when she saw Zeng Rong and Li Ruolan, the imperial concubine shook the big fan in her hand and said with a smile, "I knew that the emperor was coming, and the palace didn't have to rush here." ”

It turned out that according to the imperial concubine herself, she often accompanied the poppie to the back garden to stroll, and today it was late because of something delayed, but it happened to fulfill the poppy.

There is a bit of truth in these words, Zeng Rong couldn't tell the difference, but Li Ruolan took the initiative to find a reason to go back and sort out the copywriting under the imperial concubine's several glances, intentionally or unintentionally, and left first.

As soon as Li Ruolan left, Tong Yao also sent a few palace maids and eunuchs around her, first asking Zeng Rong how she was doing recently and whether she had adapted to the errand of a female historian, and then asked her about the last time she went to the country with the emperor to listen to the debate, and asked if she was very familiar with Zhu Heng.

"Xiaguan and the Second Highness have met a few times in Cining Palace, and they followed the Emperor to the Guozijian that day, and it was not clear in advance that His Royal Highness would also go, because the Emperor and the Guozijian had something to talk about when they were in the Guozijian, and the Xiaguan followed the Second Highness around." Zeng Rong explained.

"So that's the case, this palace heard some rumors, and thought you two knew each other very well. But there is one thing that the palace must remind you that the emperor's original intention is good, but you can't stand the chatter of people outside the palace, if you don't have this thought, it's better to stay away from the second prince. Of course, if you have this thought, you should assume that this palace has not said anything today. Bengong also saw that you were young and close to Bengong, so he made an exception to remind you. ”

"Xia Guan remembers the teachings of the imperial concubine, and Xia Guan always remembers that Xia Guan is the female historian of the Inner Court Bureau." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

As soon as Tong Yao heard this, the smile on her face suddenly became a little eager, "Also, the palace forgot, the female historian will not be replaced easily, the emperor fell in love with you, and it must be because of your talent." By the way, when it comes to talent, Bengong remembered something, you once stayed in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, and you have a lot of research on pharmacology, and Bengong always feels chest tightness and shortness of breath these days, and lack of qi and blood, but you don't want to take medicine, you help Bengong prepare a recipe. ”

"Recipe?" Zeng Rong's eyes widened deliberately, as early as when the other party mentioned the lack of qi and blood, she guessed what the other party was going to do, so she first pretended to be surprised, and then wondered, "Emperor Guifei, Xia Guan said before, Xia Guan is from the countryside, his knowledge is limited, the best dish Xia Guan has ever eaten is the female official's share of dishes, otherwise, Xia Guan didn't even have a chance to meet, let alone eat, where do you know what recipes?" ”

"Really? How did this palace hear that the Holy Lord often rewarded you with one or two dishes, and besides, you have been with the emperor for a long time, you have never eaten it, have you? Tong Yao asked slowly.

Zeng Rong replied with a broken face, "Back to the imperial concubine, the emperor has rewarded the lower officials with a few dishes, but after all, there are a few dishes, and besides, I am not afraid of the imperial concubine's jokes, those dishes, the lower officials only think they are delicious, and the names and ingredients of the dishes are not clear; Furthermore, Xia Guan has read the book "Hundred Herbs", but most of the references are medicinal materials, and few are related to vegetables and vegetables, so this recipe cannot be listed by the official committee. For example, embroidery or something, no more, copy a Buddhist scripture or embroider a Buddhist scripture or something. ”

Zeng Rong had just recently taken over a job embroidering Buddhist scriptures from the Queen Mother, and he also learned that the women in the palace liked to embroider Buddhist scriptures on silk silk for the Bodhisattva, and would also order people to copy some scriptures and send them to the temple to distribute.

Therefore, when Tong Yao heard Zeng Rong say embroidering Buddhist scriptures, she also guessed that she must have taken this job, "Who are you embroidering Buddhist scriptures for?" ”

"Hui Niangniang, she is the old lady of the Queen Mother."

"It's okay, when you finish embroidering the queen mother, help the palace also embroider a copy of the "Diamond Sutra", well, you don't have to write it yourself, then the palace will send you the brocade silk and font." Tong Yao thought about it for a moment and came up with an idea.

Although Zeng Rong guessed that the other party's "Diamond Sutra" was very likely to be Zhu Wu's pen, but after saying that, she couldn't regret it at this moment, so she could only wait for some time to find another reason.

Tong Yao wanted to ask Zeng Rong how these female historians recorded Zhu Wu, and whether they could add more beautiful words to Zhu Wu, but when they were thinking about turning the topic there, the emperor helped Yu Meiren over.

Seeing this, Tong Yao had no choice but to leave Zeng Rong, and stepped forward with a smile to salute the emperor, but before she could bend her knees, the emperor let go of Yu Bing, stepped forward to support her, and asked first, "When did Ayao come?" The poppy said that you accompany her to eat every day, and I also said why don't you see her today. ”

"For a while, I happened to meet Historian Zeng, and when I learned that the emperor was accompanying Sister Yu to eat, the concubine didn't dare to go over to disturb and talked to Historian Zeng." After Tong Yao finished speaking, he smiled playfully at the emperor.

As soon as Zhu Xu heard this, he patted Tong Yao's head affectionately, "Naughty." ”

Seeing this, Yu Bing hurriedly curtsied and saluted the two, "Qi Qi Emperor and Imperial Concubine Niangniang, the concubine will leave first." ”

"Qi the emperor and the imperial concubine, the lower officials also said goodbye, and the lower officials sent Yu Niangniang back." Zeng Rong also wanted to escape.

Coming out of the back garden, Zeng Rong accompanied Yu Bing for a while, sent her to the gate of Yaohua Palace and then left, and the two didn't talk much along the way, but Yu Bing asked her some taboos that should be paid attention to in diet, she still didn't feel at ease with others, but she trusted Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong told her about the common foods he knew, and also told her some ingredients that were not suitable for pregnant women, and she couldn't help her with anything else.
