Chapter 203, stay or not
There are only three of the top ten people left in the main hall, the imperial concubine glanced at these three people carefully, shook her head, and directly picked two pleasing ones from the remaining thirty people, regardless of the ranking or origin, but there is one point, these two people were unsuccessful in this selection, one is from Xinyang and one is from Gusu, that is to say, the green lotus was not matched.
The imperial concubine was selected, and the rest of the four concubines did not shirk, one person chose one, and the rest were uniformly allocated by the queen to each bureau and department.
Lu He was assigned to the Department of Medicine of the Shang Food Bureau, and there is no grade at present, but he is just a manager, and he followed his aunt to intern for a period of time.
Although this result is not what Green Lotus wants, it is better than before, at least she can enter and exit the palaces with this identity, and take her time in the future.
Now it is said that Zeng Rong and the three of them followed Li Zhangjiao into Cining Palace, and after the palace maid passed the word, Li Zhangjiao also ordered Zeng Rong and the three of them to wait under the corridor, and she went in alone.
After about a meal, a little palace maid came out and led Zeng Rong and the three into the hall, still did not stay in the main hall, and directly entered the east room, the queen mother was sitting on the kang, pursing her mouth, and there was no joy or anger on her face, but Li Zhangjiao, who was standing in the middle of the room, hung her head and bowed her body, as if she was trembling, and there were several palace maids and eunuchs who hung their hands or stood in front of the kang or stood at the door, all with a solemn face, and the whole room was silent.
After Zeng Rong and the three entered the house, they knelt down to say hello first, and the reply they got was still to raise their heads.
Zeng Rong and the three raised their heads, and the Queen Mother looked at the other two faces carefully for a while, and then fell on Zeng Rong's face and nodded, "Flat, take a few steps forward." ”
Zeng Rong knew that this was to depend on their height and palmistry, so he paused and took the initiative to take two steps behind.
Xu Minhui is the tallest, standing at the front, she is wearing a light green gown today, the lower body is a pink long skirt, with a purse and a piece of white jade around the waist, her hair is also tied with a ribbon, combed a hanging hair and a penny, and a few fingernail-sized gold pieces are inserted in the middle, the whole person feels simple, refreshing, the only fly in the ointment is that the facial features are not delicate and soft enough, and the complexion is not delicate and white enough, but there is a kind of sassy that girls rarely have.
Moved from Xu Minhui to Zheng Jiao, Zheng Jiao is not tall, her complexion is delicate and fair, and her facial features are sweet, she is wearing a light purple wide-sleeved skirt today, surrounded by an off-white belt embroidered with light purple lilacs, and a purse and a jade pendant are hung around her waist, her hair is combed in a flying fairy bun, and a row of Jin Tian is also inserted in the middle.
moved from Zheng Jiao to Zeng Rong again, presumably because of preconceived ideas, the three queen dowagers compared and compared, and still felt that Zeng Rong was pleasing to the eye.
In fact, Zeng Rong was wearing a simpler, no distinctive pink palace maid's clothes, and it was still the lowest linen material, and her hair was only combed with a simple haircut, only tied with a few head ropes, she was not tall, her body was obviously insufficient, and her facial features could only be said to be delicate, and she was thrown into the crowd, which may not be conspicuous at first glance, but for some reason, after having an impression, she could always be found in the crowd at a glance.
Another point, the Queen Mother especially likes to chat with Zeng Rong, not that her voice is good, but that she likes her language, which is rare for her peers and transparent, and can always hit other people's hearts inadvertently.
It's no wonder that her eldest grandson is tempted, but what she can't understand is why this child refuses to keep Zeng Rong and doesn't let her keep her, saying that what she is forced to come to can't keep, and when she understands it, she will take the initiative to come to him.
Originally, the Queen Mother was angry when she heard this, thinking that Zeng Rong was disgusted with her grandson, but the grandson said no, saying that Zeng Rong was the first and only one to treat him as a normal person.
That's weird.
The Queen Mother couldn't get an answer from her grandson, so she had to go to the people around him.
So, she knew that her grandson was very precious with a hand stove, a very ordinary hand stove, and also had a scarf, the lowest scarf in the palace, and these two things were found from him on the night of his disappearance.
Later, another time, it is said that Zhu Heng was admiring the plum blossoms in the yard, and when he heard a woman outside asking for directions, he was excited, and hurriedly ordered the people around him to bring the girl in, but it happened that the girl was Amei's little sister, and that afternoon, Zhu Heng stayed with Zeng Rong and said for a long time, and also left a plum blossom picture painted by Zeng Rong.
Later, on the day of her birthday, the two met on the city wall on the side of Xuanzhaotai, and it was Zeng Rong who persuaded Zhu Heng to return to Cining Palace.
After coming back, the kid and his father locked themselves in the house in anger, but when he learned the news that Zeng Rong had gone to the back garden, he immediately brought two more guards to rush over, and he never showed up in front of outsiders, he actually forced himself to stay in front of so many strangers for so long, and also accepted the provocation to write a couplet and draw a picture.
That's it, this child actually took the initiative to find her last night and said that she should not force Zeng Rong to stay and let her do what she wanted to do.
How does this work?
Don't look at what kind of place this is, even she, the queen mother, can't do what she wants in this harem, a little palace maid still wants to do what she wants to do!
At first, she thought that it was the imperial concubine who was making trouble behind and wanted to rob people, and she also thought that Zeng Rong had fallen in love with Zhu Wu and wanted to go to Zhu Wu's side, but she had just listened to Li Zhangjiao's meaning, it was the inner chamberlain who fell in love with Zeng Rong, and the imperial concubine was on the side, wanting to promote Zeng Rong to enter the inner chamberlain, and also moved out of the Ministry of Rites, and even moved out of the emperor.
This was a bit of a dilemma for her.
Although it was not the emperor's intention to be a mirror in her heart, let alone a small female official, she didn't even pay attention to the emperor of the harem who chose a concubine, how could she pay attention to a little palace maid?
To put it bluntly, isn't it still that woman's idea?
But there is no way, although she is said to be the queen mother and the emperor's biological mother, but because of her son's spoiling of his concubine and killing his wife, the relationship between her and her son was very stiff for a while, and at the same time offended the woman, and later, because of Zhu Heng's plot, she almost tore her face with the woman, so the relationship between mother and son is far less intimate than that of their husband and wife.
In this case, if the queen didn't send Zeng Rong to her, wouldn't she make it difficult for her, would she stay or not?
Sure enough, when he was checking, there was a message from a eunuch outside the door, saying that the queen had sent two more people, and it was the female official who ranked first in the assessment this time.
This intention is obvious, obviously someone has already sent it before, this will add two more, and it will be high-sounding, let her pick first, how can she choose?
