Chapter 180: Undercurrent (2)

Empress Wang, who was aware of the Queen Mother's intentions, seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, as long as Zeng Rong didn't go to Tong Yao's woman, she wouldn't taste it anywhere.

Moreover, if Zeng Rong goes to Zhu Heng's side, it will be a good thing for her, that woman has such a deep grudge with Zhu Heng, Zeng Rong has passed, she must divide her mind to prevent these two people, in this way, the pressure she faces will definitely be much less.

Wonderful, why didn't she think of this move beforehand?

By the way, Fang Cai seemed to hear the woman say that Zeng Rong was waiting for a little sister outside last time, that is to say, Zeng Rong had a little sister who was on an errand in Cining Palace, and she vaguely remembered that there was a newcomer in Cining Palace these days, and it seemed to be the palace maid next to Zhu Heng.

It's no wonder that the Queen Mother wants to get Zeng Rong into Cining Palace, with such a pair of little sisters accompanying Zhu Heng, presumably the Queen Mother can feel a lot more at ease.

In that case, why don't she be a good person and push the boat around?

The imperial concubine was a little far away, and she didn't see the contents of the box at first, and she heard the queen mother say that she used it when she was young, so she paid attention and moved a few steps forward, only to see that it was a pair of peony flowers made of gold leaf, but it was not as detailed as the queen's view, Rao was so, and she quickly guessed the queen mother's intention to send this pair of peony flowers.

Especially when Queen Wang looked at Zeng Rong, the smile and pride in her eyes that couldn't be concealed stung her even more.

To be honest, she is not afraid of a little embroidery girl, the problem is that Zeng Rong is behind the Xu family, and Xu Fushan's old thing has not responded to the kindness she released over the years, so there are some things she has to guard against.

Because once Zeng Rong went to Zhu Heng's side, Zhu Heng's affairs would be passed on to Xu Fushan's ears through Zeng Rong, Zhu Heng was a wasted person, and he couldn't make much waves, but after all, he was named the eldest son, if the civil and military officials outside knew that he was not suffering from a hidden disease, but that his legs were not good, he would definitely make waves, and Bao Qi would affect her and her son.

This is definitely not what she wants to see.

Therefore, Zeng Rong must not enter Cining Palace.

It's just that the Queen Mother spoke, she can't use the emperor to pressure the Queen Mother, and she has to be allowed to take care of this matter.

The imperial concubine made up her mind to do a good job of accounting, so naturally she would not speak easily, and the most difficult person present was actually Zeng Rong.

Zeng Rong also looked up and saw the contents of the box when the Queen Mother pulled down her face, and naturally recognized it as a pair of peony flowers, so she was also frightened, even more shocked and panicked.

She's just an embroiderer, a little embroidery, is it necessary to send such a big scare to her when they meet for the first time?

What kind of virtue does she have, how can she be matched by these three women at the same time?

"The Queen Mother, the slave maid, the slave maid is just a little palace maid, I have never seen such a valuable and luxurious thing, the slave maid is afraid, I am afraid that I can't afford to use it, it is better to be like this, the slave and the maid are brave and ask the queen mother for a reward, how about it?" Zeng Rong asked tremblingly.

"What reward?" The Queen Mother raised her eyes and glanced at Zeng Rong, although she was a little unhappy, but she was also impressed by this girl's audacity, and wanted to see what she could say.

Also, she was more concerned about whether Zeng Rong understood the purpose of this peony flower.

"Back to the Queen Mother, there is an ancient temple near the slave's hometown, when the slave and the maid encountered a predicament, a master once said to the slave maid, everything in the world has a fixed number, there is also cause and effect, the wise man goes with the flow, plant a good cause and get a good result, but the fool wants to ascend to the sky in one step, against the sky, but I don't know, too much, to know that the world is full of suffering, most of them come from this greedy word. The slave grew up in the countryside since childhood, and did not hide from the queen mother, even two meals a day are a problem, although now he does not worry about food and clothing, but he has never even worn silver jewelry, and suddenly saw such a luxurious and valuable thing, the slave maid is more panicked and uneasy, and asks the queen mother to forgive the sin, the queen mother's good intentions, the slave and the maid really dare not be used, so the slave and the maid are brave, if you ask the queen mother to reward the slave and maid with a set of new books, or a few old books, and then it is not good, reward the slave and maid with a little dried fruit and snacks, to satisfy the appetite of the slave and maid. As for the rest, the coming day is long, and I also ask the Queen Mother to give the slave and maid a chance to go with the flow. After Zeng Rong finished speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed solemnly.

The clever Zeng Rong did not mention the meaning of the peony flower, but repeatedly emphasized the nobility and luxury of the gift, in order to obscure the past.

Another point, Amei repeatedly emphasized that she should not mention the second prince to anyone, so she could only pretend not to know about the existence of the second prince.

The Queen Mother was persuaded by Zeng Rong's sentence "Everything in the world has a fixed number", but she thought differently from Zeng Rong, since God sent Zeng Rong to her, and Zeng Rong also entered her eyes, then Zeng Rong is Zhu Heng's fixed number!

Also, she had already discovered that the longevity character on Zeng Rongxiu's regular clothes was Heng'er's pen body, and she didn't follow Liu Chunmiao's words to protect her grandson, whether it was unintentional or intentional, Qin Chuxue pulled the line for these two people, this is not a fixed number!

But seeing that this child was scared like this, the Queen Mother couldn't bear to force her tightly, so she made an exception for her, and the palace would hold an election in a few days, she believed that with Zeng Rong's talent, it would definitely be okay to take the female official exam, and at that time, she would ask her to come to her side to see if she had any reason to refuse.

"This kid, the queen just said that you can speak, and you called here again, so it's up to you, the future will be long, and the mourning family will give you this opportunity to go with the flow." The Queen Mother said with a smile.

"It's not that she can speak, even the queen mother was convinced, it's really an exception today, it can be seen that the queen mother really likes this girl. According to the daughter-in-law, it is better to simply bring this girl to the queen mother's side, and have her to talk to the queen mother to relieve her boredom, and the queen mother will be able to smile often. The queen pushed.

"The Queen Mother, this child also said that the future will be long, and the Queen Mother also agreed to her, if she waits for her to do the work at hand, it won't be delayed for long, the emperor is still thinking about her embroidering a few pairs of uppers, the queen also said just now, the emperor also likes this child's temperament, and praises her for being gentle and smart." The imperial concubine said with a smile.

There is no way, if she doesn't open her mouth again, Zeng Rong should enter Cining Palace, so she can only exceed the rules.

Fortunately, her biggest reliance is on the emperor, but it really can't be done, it is better for her to get this girl to the emperor's side than to stay with Zhu Heng.

For so many years, she has also grasped the emperor's temperament very accurately, no matter how much he likes the new, he will never get tired of her old, the relationship between them has long surpassed the ordinary relationship between men and women, and has risen to family affection, and family affection will not be easily parted.

"Well, that's what it means, Liu Zhangshi, you go down first." The Queen Mother saw that the two had a dispute again, and Tong Yao did not shy away from speaking at all, so she was very unhappy in her heart, so she had to send Zeng Rong away first.

Later, Zeng Rong finally came out of Cining Palace with a lot of things and Liu Chunmiao.
