Chapter 440: Appreciation

These days, although Zhu Xu has never taken the initiative to ask Zeng Rong, Chang Dezi has been whispering in his ear, saying that Zeng Rong does things in the Huanyi Bureau every day, eats and lives with those female workers, and says that when it is cold, Zeng Rong's ten fingers are often frozen into carrots, and even Zeng Rong wants to go to Qianfu with Zhu Heng every three days, Chang Dezi did not hide it from him.

It's not that Chang Dezi has to sue, but these rumors have already spread in the harem, and he can't hide it at all.

Zhu Xu is not very surprised by these news, this girl has this ability, no matter what the environment, she can be at ease, in her own words that she often says, "If you come, you will be safe".

What he was curious about was what these two people were doing, why they had to go to Qianfu every three days, and every time they came back from Qianfu, Zhu Heng seemed to be out of strength, if he didn't know his son's body, he really believed those rumors, thinking that there was something wrong with these two people.

It was precisely because he knew that these two people were not in that kind of relationship that Zhu Xu was even more curious about what these two people were hiding from him.

Also, it is said that he is not distressed and does not care, but when he thinks that Zeng Rong has eaten almost all the delicacies under his care this year, and there are goat milk and all kinds of delicate snacks in the morning, but this month in the Huanyi Bureau, every meal is either cabbage or radish, not even a little oil and water, only boiled in white water, similar to feeding livestock, Zhu Xu felt angry.

He was angry not because of the poor conditions of the Huanyi Bureau, but because of Zeng Rong's stupidity and stubbornness, obviously the eunuch in charge promised to raise her dietary standards, and Zhu Heng also sent someone to send her something, but she didn't want it, she had to ask for her own hardship.

It's not that he didn't want to call this girl back earlier, but what happened, how could there be no punishment at all, how could he explain to the queen mother and everyone in the harem?

Moreover, he also wanted to take this opportunity to teach this girl a lesson, to see if she dared to meddle in the future, it was her luck that day, the queen did not really move the fetus, otherwise, once something really happened, I am afraid that he will not be able to save this girl's life.

But then again, what he admired was Zeng Rong's courageous and fearless temperament, remembering that when Yu Bing had a difficult birth, she also risked her life to rush to Wuying Palace, and then she scolded Wang Bai for him, he also asked her why, she said it was awe, awe of life.

At that time, he didn't understand this sentence too much, thinking that Zeng Rong did it for the sake of Yu Bing being her fellow villager, in order to accumulate his own connections.

But this time, the queen was angry, and she rushed forward regardless of life or death, which once again triggered his thinking about Zeng Rong and human nature.

He used to think that she was like A-Yao when she was young, innocent and kind, so he protected her as much as possible, just like protecting the beauty in his heart.

But after a year of getting along, he knew he was wrong.

These two people are two completely different people, although Zeng Rong now also has a personal relationship with Zhu Heng, and he is also wholeheartedly good to him and protects him, just like A-Yao and him back then, but in essence, the two are still different, Zeng Rong is relatively more independent, the pattern is bigger than A-Yao, and he is more upright.

Zeng Rong's integrity is in her bones, not pretended, otherwise, she would not have been able to take risks again and again to help others, even her enemies.

Also, Zeng Rong's kindness is not out of interest considerations, but from her reverence for life, in her opinion, all life is equal and worthy of awe. This kind of person, even if she is polluted and assimilated by this harem in the future, she has her bottom line.

Zhu Xu was thinking about where Zeng Rong's bottom line was, and whether he would be blinded by his own selfish desires like Ayao in a few years, and the eunuch at the door passed the word, saying that the queen and the imperial concubine had arrived.

When Zhu Xu heard this, he raised his eyebrows, it seems that he doesn't want to eat this dinner.

Wang Tong and Tong Yao entered the study one after another, and when they saw the folds spread out in front of the emperor, Wang Tong stepped forward first and said: "Your Majesty, Xiao Shi'er said that he missed his father, and the concubine took him to see the emperor, but it seems that the concubine came at the wrong time, and disturbed the emperor's official business." ”

Zhu Shen was four years old, his speech was very clear, after listening to the words of the queen mother, he let go of the queen mother's hand, stepped forward and saluted Zhu Xu in a respectful manner, "Back to my father, my son wants to accompany my father to dinner." ”

"Yes, the emperor should also pay attention to the combination of work and rest, and he can't be busy with government affairs all day long, how can this piece of music be approved?" Tong Yao also took a few steps forward and said with a smile, and put the food box in his hand on the desk.

As soon as Tong Yao opened the food box and was about to end the plate outside, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the glass cover embroidery ornament on the desk, if she remembered correctly, this ornament was placed in the corner of the table before, and even once placed on the windowsill, but this will be placed in front of the fold, that is to say, the emperor may not be in the review of the fold, most of them are looking at this embroidery to see things and think about people.

Rolling his eyes, Tong Yao had an idea, bent down and said to Zhu Shen: "Your Highness the Tenth, there are a few small snacks here, which your father loves to eat, you can also taste them, okay?" ”

Zhu Shen didn't immediately agree when he heard this, but looked at his mother, Wang Tong was about to open his mouth, Zhu Xu said for her, "Give him a taste, the imperial concubine has good skills." ”

Zhu Shen saw that his father had spoken, and immediately walked happily in front of Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu bent down and hugged him, Tong Yao saw this, and specially put the dim sum plate to the glass ornament, Zhu Shen was about to reach for the dim sum, but was attracted by the glass cover ornament.

To be exact, what he likes is not this glass cover, this kind of glass cover Kunning Palace also has it, what he likes is this bamboo bear embroidery, round and chubby, he thought it was a white cat with black spots.

"Father, the son likes this." With that, he reached for the white cat.

After all, a four-year-old child has an instinctive possessiveness for what he likes, and Zhu Shen is no exception.

Zhu Xu thought that the child just liked it for a while, so he reached out to get it for him, Zhu Shen held this ornament, and he didn't want to eat the dim sum, so he studied the glass cover outside, and also played with his hand, wanting to reach inside to touch the cat.

Zhu Xu chatted with the child without a match, and then asked about Wang Tong's body, and then cared about Zhu Wu's schoolwork.

As he spoke, Chang Dezi came in, saying that the dinner had been arranged, and Zhu Xu heard that he was going to put Zhu Shen down, but Zhu Shen was reluctant to put this ornament in his hand, and he didn't hold it for some reason, and the thing fell to the ground, with a bang, and it was broken.

"What's going on?" Zhu Xu asked.

may not have controlled his tone for a while, which scared Zhu Shen, and the child wowed and cried.
