Chapter 175, Determined

Coming out of Liu Chunmiao, Zeng Rong dispelled the idea of going to Qin Chuxue, without him, to avoid suspicion.

Qin Chuxue was too busy to take care of herself, Zeng Rong and her were too close, and it was inevitable that it would not reach the ears of the imperial concubine, which was not a good thing for both of them.

After making up her mind, Zeng Rong obediently returned to the dormitory, and it happened that the clothes she washed in the morning and the bedding she dried should also be collected.

When that's all done, it's time for dinner.

As long as today, after dinner, the sun is still hanging in the sky, Zeng Rong has nothing to do, pulling Hongling and Meiying to kick shuttlecocks in the yard to play, and when the play is rising, Amei suddenly came to him.

Hongling and Meiying had not seen Amei for a long time, and they all gathered around, gossiping, some asked her how she was on an errand beside the Queen Mother, some asked her why she hadn't seen her for a long time, some asked her how many months she had, and asked her who the missing master on Chinese New Year's Eve was.

"Okay, don't ask questions, you all know the rules in the palace, don't embarrass me." Amei refused directly.

As soon as he said this, Hongling's faces were a little unbearable and scattered.

"Let's go, go out for a walk with me." Ah Mei didn't care, and pulled Zeng Rong and walked out.

The two found a corner where no one was there and squatted down, Zeng Rong knew that the palace maid had not gone to the back garden to look for Amei in the morning, she only casually mentioned it when she saw Amei later, saying that someone had looked for her in the morning.

Before this, there were already rumors in Cining Palace, saying that a little palace maid from the Shanggong Bureau was reprimanded by the emperor, the queen and the imperial concubine, but at that time, Amei didn't know that this little palace maid was Zeng Rong.

"What the hell is going on? How did you run into them, how did you get trained? Are there any penalties? Amei asked several questions in one breath, and her concern was beyond words.

"Don't worry, it's not a training." Zeng Rong studied the morning's experience, focusing on the three people's questioning of her.

Ah Mei stayed in Cining Palace for more than a month, and she heard the hints in the words of the imperial concubine and the queen at once, but what she couldn't figure out was why these two people did this, isn't it just to embroider a flower, just ask Qin Chuxue or Liu Chunmiao to order it down, what does it have to do with Ah Rong?

"It's not that simple, the queen asked me before if I was willing to change jobs, I didn't agree, and before the queen, the imperial concubine also rewarded me with a pair of gold bracelets through Aunt Liu, saying that I embroidered them and she liked them very much. To put it bluntly, the imperial concubine was deliberately angry with the queen, angry that the phoenix I embroidered for the queen was a pair, but she couldn't wear the phoenix, so she ordered me to embroider it and Dilian, and it was still a pair with the emperor, can the queen not be angry? ”

Zeng Rong analyzed this matter to Ah Mei in detail, in order to tell her that most of the imperial concubines had also noticed her, and asked her to be careful, so as not to be used and stupidly not know it.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to encounter this kind of bad thing, I originally thought that the embroidery workshop was much easier than Cining Palace, but it seems that it is not necessarily the case." Ame smiled self-deprecatingly.

"You're in trouble there, too?" Zeng Rong asked.

"No, I'll only tell you this, don't tell the second person." Ah Mei was also in a panic and came to Ah Rong to solve the problem, in addition, she also wanted to ask Zeng Rong for an idea, she knew that in some major matters, Zeng Rong saw farther than her and saw through.

It turned out that the Kong Ming lantern she bought last time was really bought for the second prince, the second prince's name is Zhu Heng, who is as old as Amei, and is a rabbit, but because he is not in good health, he does not want to see people, so he has been locked up in Chuhua Palace all these years, and there are only a few close eunuchs and palace maids to serve on weekdays.

After a long time, his temper became more and more eccentric, more and more outlied, the Queen Mother felt sorry for him, and originally wanted to take him to take care of him, but he didn't agree, the Queen Mother couldn't, so she had to take a step back and not see outsiders, but she had to have a reunion dinner with everyone during the New Year's Festival.

I didn't know what was going on on Chinese New Year's Eve, and when I heard that he had left the table halfway, the Queen Mother thought at first that he had returned to Chuhua Palace, but the eunuchs and palace maids beside him said that they did not see him, so the Queen Mother hurriedly ordered people to look for him.

Later, he found the person, but he didn't say anything, and insisted on going back to Chuhua Palace, but on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, the eunuch of Chuhua Palace came to accuse, saying that he was sick.

The Queen Mother was furious, and ordered someone to take him to Cining Palace, and replaced all the eunuchs and palace maids around him, and Amei was picked like this.

"At first, I heard that he had a bad temper and was very frightened, but I don't know what's going on, he was not bad to me, and when he learned that I had only been in the palace for a few months, he would ask me a lot of things outside, and I could see from his eyes that he was yearning for the outside world, but unfortunately, he, he...

"I can't help myself." Zeng Rong said these four words for her.

At this time, she determined that this Zhu Heng was the wheelchair boy, the son of the former queen, and the master of Qin Chuxue.

Ah Mei said that he didn't know why he left the table in the middle of Chinese New Year's Eve, but Zeng Rong knew that it must be because he saw the purse and shoes on the imperial concubine and the emperor were stimulated, and inevitably remembered his mother, the mother who died unexplained, and the legs he lost.

At this time, the so-called reunion dinner is really a kind of irony and torment for him, so he will leave the table halfway, not wanting to see anyone, just wanting to hide alone and lick his wounds.

The governor backfired, God couldn't get along with him, he fell to the ground, so embarrassed that he didn't even have the strength to get up.

Fortunately, he met Zeng Rong, a complete stranger, he no longer had to disguise himself, on the contrary, because of his powerlessness and helplessness, Zeng Rong became the one who sent charcoal in the snow.

"Yes, yes, yes, it's just that you can't help yourself." Amei took the conversation.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, I heard that the palace maids could go out of the palace to visit the lanterns and watch the fireworks, and he also gave Amei a half-day off, and the only request was to let Amei talk to him about the excitement outside, and he also wanted to see what the lanterns were like outside, and he also wanted to put a Kong Ming lantern to pray, which he had never done.

"And what about later? Has the Kong Ming lantern been released? Aunt Liu knows that you bought this lamp for him? Zeng Rong asked.

"Let it go, I didn't tell Aunt Liu the truth, the Queen Mother said it, and she didn't let me tell outsiders that I was a person next to His Royal Highness, so I dragged Aunt Yuan out, and Aunt Yuan guessed that this lamp must have been asked for by His Royal Highness, so she rounded the story."

After speaking, Amei remembered something again, "Actually, the rabbit lamp was also bought for him, and he also belongs to rabbits and likes rabbits." ”

Zeng Rong saw the brilliance in Ah Mei's eyes, and suddenly a thought flashed, Ah Mei shouldn't like this second prince, right?

That's not a good thing.
