Chang Dezi saw the emperor sitting at the table without moving, so he glanced at the head of the meal and the palace maid, and the two retreated.

"Go back to the emperor, why don't you go to the old slave...

"No need, you go to the imperial dining room and give an order, and order them to make some green vegetable dumplings." Zhu Xu interrupted Chang Dezi's words.

"Whoa." Chang Dezi answered, turned around and went out, and called a little eunuch at the door to run errands.

Chang Dezi, who returned to the house, did not go directly to the side hall to see the emperor, but entered the compartment of the outer study, and saw that Zeng Rong was in a hurry to write, Chang Dezi hesitated, walked over in the end, and asked Zeng Rong when he could finish it.

"Father-in-law, please tell me something." Zeng Rong raised his head.

Knowing that the emperor had no appetite, Zeng Rong looked at his copywriting in embarrassment, but because of this, he remembered the war of words and the undercurrent between those ministers, Zeng Rong sighed secretly and got up to stand up.

It's cold from above, and after following the emperor for a year, she knows how difficult it is to be a good emperor.

Chang Dezi sent Zeng Rong to the door, but he didn't dare to follow him into the side hall.

Sure enough, when he saw Zeng Rong coming in, Zhu Xu split his head and asked: "It's eventful, who asked you to come, and the copywriting was sorted out so quickly?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the lower officials are hungry, thinking that the emperor should finish his meal, and come over to beg for food."

Zeng Rong walked to the table as he spoke, and seeing that the dishes on the table had hardly moved, Zeng Rong said exaggeratedly: "Your Majesty, shouldn't you have specially prepared so many delicious foods for the lower officials to reward them?" ”

"Treat you?" Zhu Xu had a toothache again when he thought of what happened last night, gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, I'll treat you, and I'll go by myself after eating... ”

Zeng Rong saw the emperor's disgusted ruthlessness, guessed that there was nothing good, and without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, he hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, this oyster steamed egg custard was specially prepared for you by the imperial chef last night, why don't you taste it?" ”

"Why?" Zhu Xu spit out two words, still with a cold face.

"Back to the emperor, oysters enter the liver and kidney meridians, which have the function of nourishing yin and latent yang, calming the liver and reducing astringency, and treating palpitations, insomnia and dizziness and other diseases. The lower officials noticed that the emperor was often worried about government affairs in the past few days, but it happened that there were dry goods in the dining room, so he took it upon himself to bother the imperial chef to add this dish. Zeng Rong explained.

This dish was indeed made by Zeng Rong to the imperial chef. When he saw Zhu Wu last night, Zeng Rong guessed that it was not easy to pass today, the emperor might not hate her for many things, Zeng Rong had seen the emperor compromise with the imperial concubine because of Concubine Yu.

You must know that Concubine Yu's weight in the emperor's heart is much heavier than Zheng Jiao's, otherwise, it would be impossible for the emperor to leave Zheng Jiao unattended for a few months.

And the emperor often has the old problem of palpitations, insomnia and dizziness when he encounters something, so Zeng Rong came up with this method to please him.

Of course, she also knows that just a bowl of steamed oysters can't cure the emperor's stubborn disease, and what she wants to express is a heart.

Sure enough, after listening to Zeng Rong's explanation, Zhu Xu's expression on his face finally eased, raised his eyelids and glanced at Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the spoon and chopsticks and began to serve the meal.

When Chang Dezi came in with a bowl of green vegetable dumplings, Zhu Xu had already eaten seven or eight points under Zeng Rong's persuasion, and this bowl of green vegetable dumplings was directly rewarded to Zeng Rong, and as for the delicacies on the table, they were all given to others.

Seeing Zeng Rong muttering about a bowl of green vegetable dumplings, Zhu Xu still felt that he only breathed half a breath, so he summoned two ministers by order.

For this reason, after being on duty, Zeng Rong returned to his residence and was busy for more than an hour to sort out the copywriting, and he didn't even bother with his lunch break.

Later, Zeng Rong went to Xingdao to see Zheng Jiao, and learned that what should have happened last night happened, and when Zheng Jiao left in the morning, the emperor took off the jade pendant he was wearing and sent it to her, and promised to come to her in the next few days, Zeng Rong breathed a sigh of relief, it was not in vain.

"The third prince came last night, did Grandpa Chang pass it on?" Zeng Rong asked a key sentence.

Zheng Jiao nodded, blushing.

Zeng Rong didn't ask any further.

"Ah Rong, how can I thank you?" Seeing Zeng Rong get up and want to say goodbye, Zheng Jiao grabbed her sleeve.

"Sister Zheng, if you say that, then should I also settle the things you helped me with before?"

"I, I didn't help you with anything, it's all a gesture." Zheng Jiao blinked and said.

"Each other, each other." Zeng Rong smiled back and turned to leave.

Sometimes, you get more by not asking for a favor.

Zeng Rong has experienced this from Green Lotus.

She also knew that this time the imperial concubine could not come to the West Garden is the handiwork of the green lotus, and the green lotus does not know where to set the imperial concubine's eating habits, but it happened that some time ago, the imperial concubine said that she did not sleep well, and her complexion was obscure and yellow, so she ordered Liu Yuan to prescribe a conditioning prescription, and the green lotus secretly increased the amount of ejiao a little.

Because there is no residue after Ejiao has survived, and the imperial concubine has a hot and dry physique, she likes to eat some things that nourish blood and qi, so in less than half a month, her face was packed, and soon she had it on her body.

It may be that there has been a lot of backlog of fire in these days, coupled with the catalysis of drugs, suddenly broke out, and the pimples on the face emerged endlessly, and it developed into a full face in a few days.

After Liu Yuan's envoy took the pulse, he didn't find anything else, only saying that her liver and heart were too hot, and it was better to be forced out and dispersed than to be suppressed in her body, so she only needed to recuperate for some time.

In fact, these days have been cut off from the decoction, and the diet has become lighter, and the pimples on the face have really begun to improve.

But what Zeng Rong didn't know was that yesterday the news of her and Zheng Jiao reached the ears of the imperial concubine, and the imperial concubine was so angry that her liver hurt.

She didn't care that the emperor slept with another woman, what she cared about was Zeng Rong, and the emperor could allow Zeng Rong to calculate and manipulate him, which shows that Zeng Rong's weight in the emperor's heart is not trivial.

This is not a good thing.

At this time, Tong Yao had a feeling of moving a stone to hit her feet, if she hadn't gambled with Queen Wang and let the Queen Mother take Zeng Rong to Cining Palace, would she not have these troubles today?

However, Tong Yao is by no means a person who sits still, and after a little thought, she ordered someone to summon Concubine Yu.

Zeng Rong met two little eunuchs at dinner and learned that Concubine Yu had brought the twelve princes to see the emperor.

It is reported that originally Concubine Yu meant to live directly in the other garden, saying that she was afraid that other islands would be too deserted, and there would be unclean things.

The emperor did not promise her.

Recently, everything has been complicated, and he needs to meet his courtiers in the other garden every day, and sometimes he is not idle even in the afternoon, and it is really inconvenient for Concubine Yu to live in.

Moreover, he is not the only woman in Concubine Yu, and Concubine Yu's position is not high, it is difficult to convince the public, he doesn't want to make trouble for himself.
