Early the next morning, Zeng Rong had just arrived at the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, and before he had time to report to Cui Yuanhua about the emperor's case yesterday afternoon, the imperial concubine sent someone to pass the word and ordered her to go to Yaohua Palace.

Zeng Rong had no choice, so he had to explain a few words to Cui Yuanhua, and he went to Yaohua Palace alone, and when he saw the imperial concubine, he realized that the imperial concubine was looking for her because Yu Meiren was pregnant, and her vomiting was more serious, and she couldn't eat.

"This palace thinks that you are fellow countrymen, and most pregnant people are willing to eat some hometown flavors, so why don't you help make two dishes and try to see if you can eat them."

Zeng Rong was so frightened that he knelt down and said: "Back to the imperial concubine, Xiaguan is from a rural family, and his family has been poor since he was a child, and it is difficult to continue with food and clothing, so Xiaguan's cooking skills only stay at the level of cooking gruel with a few kinds of green vegetables and wild vegetables. Don't hide it from the imperial concubine, the lower official is so big, that is, he can really eat a full meal by working in the embroidery workshop in the old year, and the days of seeing meat are only half a month. ”

Tong Yao listened to Xiu Mei slightly locked, she didn't believe Zeng Rong's words, but she didn't mean to ask Zeng Rong to cook, she just wanted to test Zeng Rong's heart to get closer to her, and at the same time, it was also to test the determination of the person behind Zeng Rong.

Yesterday afternoon, the emperor ordered Zeng Rong to send food to Cining Palace, Zeng Rong entered Cining Palace after the unitary time, and the Queen Mother generally had dinner around Shen Zheng, so it is self-evident who this porridge is prepared for.

That's it, it's strange that the time when Zeng Rong returned to the Inner Three Institutes last night actually passed Xuzheng, that is to say, Zeng Rong stayed in Cining Palace for an hour and a half, who was she accompanying for such a long time?

She also heard about Zhu Heng's shock and coma yesterday, and most of the porridge was the emperor's compensation to Zhu Heng, but what she didn't understand was why the emperor suddenly sent Zeng Rong to deliver this porridge?

Could it be that these people are doing something behind her back?

In order to verify her guess, she ordered someone to call Zeng Rong early in the morning, she wanted to see who would come to Yaohua Palace to ask for someone who couldn't hold her breath!

But before that, she also has to knock Zeng Rong, don't think that she can't be moved if the emperor, the queen mother and the second prince protect her!

"Really? If your knowledge is really limited, how can this palace hear that you have cooked in Cining Palace and cooked for the Queen Mother, or can the Queen Mother please move you, but the Palace please not move you? Tong Yao deliberately asked slowly in a long voice.

When Zeng Rong heard this, he hurriedly kowtowed and stammered: "Also, please also invite the imperial concubine Mingjian, Xiaguan, Xiaguan did make a porridge in the dining room of Cining Palace." No, to be exact, this porridge is not made by the lower officials, because the white porridge is cooked by the imperial kitchen, and several kinds of seafood are also prepared by the imperial kitchen. ”

Tong Yao saw that Zeng Rong was scared like this, and smiled slightly, "That's it, look at you scared like this, this palace just asked casually, thinking that you and Yu Meiren are from the same place, and you should be able to make a few hometown-style dishes to relieve her homesickness, even so, don't come back in vain, go see her, and talk to her." ”

"Whoa." Zeng Rong agreed.

There is no way, she is afraid that if she refuses the other party again, the other party's face will not be able to hang it, and she should not be able to hold back.

Soon, Zeng Rong stepped into the West Cross Courtyard under the guidance of a palace maid, just entered the courtyard door, a breeze blew, a few pieces of fallen Ying on Zeng Rong's shoulders, raised his eyes, only to see two relatively thick Xifu Begonias in front of the door, at this moment it is full of flowers, like two giant umbrellas hanging down, the breeze blows through, the falling Ying is colorful, it is very good-looking.

But what is more attractive to Zeng Rong is that there is a small swing under the flower tree, and there is a beautiful woman in pink who is sitting on the swing frame and sighing at the fallen Ying all over the ground, although Zeng Rong only sees a side face, it is enough to sigh, people are more delicate than flowers.

A few steps forward, Zeng Rong curtsied and saluted, "Xiaguan Zeng Rong sees Niangniang." ”

Yu Bing raised his eyes, "It's you?" ”

"Back to Niangniang, the lower officials heard that Niangniang had a happy event, congratulations to Niangniang." Zeng Rong curtsy again.

Yu Bing listened to Xiu's eyebrows and locked slightly, "Even you know?" ”

Zeng Rong looked at it, obviously the other party didn't want to let him know, and then thought about it, normal big families are generally not declared to the public if they are less than three months pregnant, presumably there is this rule in the palace, and Zeng Rong said to this beauty, not only is he an outsider, but also a subordinate.

"Hui Niangniang, it is the imperial concubine who is worried about the poor appetite of the mother, and asked the lower official to cook a few hometown dishes, but the lower official was born poor, often wild vegetables and green vegetables, and his knowledge is really limited, and he has been entrusted by the imperial concubine, so please forgive me." Zeng Rong explained.

Yu Bing saw Zeng Rong mention the imperial concubine, and remembered the imperial concubine's maintenance of Zeng Rong when he first saw Zeng Rong that day and the abnormality of the emperor's day, and he was even more unhappy in his heart, "You are very familiar with the imperial concubine?" But how did I hear that you have been here for less than a month? ”

"Back to Niangniang, it has been less than 20 days since the lower officials entered the inner prison."

As for whether he is familiar or not, Zeng Rong left it to the other party to judge, even if it is a fellow countryman, the two have only met for the second time, and Zeng Rong will never dare to say it thoroughly.

Fortunately, Yu Bing is also a smart and clever person, after hearing Zeng Rong's words, Fang raised his head and stared at Zeng Rong carefully, looking at it like this, Yu Bing's heart seemed to be a little brighter.

Although Zeng Rong's facial features can also be described as delicate eyebrows, but in the harem where the beauty is like a cloud, it is really not outstanding, not to mention, this face is still a little childish, and it doesn't grow at first glance.

Besides, Zeng Rong's stature has not grown up, and he has not yet drawn a strip, saying that he is thirteen years old, but he looks like he is eleven or twelve years old, and he is clearly a child, how can the emperor be interested in a child?

Even if there is, it is to be loved like a child, after all, this little girl also has some real skills, and last time even the imperial doctor was not very clear about the effect of perilla and amaranth. Also, I heard that she is also good at embroidery, by the way, she once helped the emperor to clip fish bones out of her throat.

Thinking about it this way, Yu Bing felt a little close to Zeng Rongsheng.

"Your family is from the country, how is your family?" Yu Bing asked with concern.

"Hui Niangniang, there are six sisters in the Xiaguan family, two brothers, two younger brothers, and one younger sister." Zeng Rong replied.

Yu Bing has never been in the countryside, I don't know how hard it is for ordinary rural families to feed these people, in her cognition, the average family has grandchildren, six children are not much, but there are a lot, as for Zeng Rong said that the green vegetables and wild vegetables are full of food, she has also eaten a few, such as shepherd's cabbage wontons and her favorite amaranth, which taste good.
