Zeng Rong's heart followed the other party's slow turn, and he kept silently chanting in his heart: "Turn back, turn back, go in, go in, don't look for me, don't look for me." ”

Unfortunately, she didn't get her way.

"What did you just say your name was?" The other looked at her again.

"Back to Niangniang, the slave maid is called Zeng Rong."

"Zeng Rong? Is that the Zeng Rong who embroidered and tilly for the palace? ”

"Hui Niangniang, it is the slave maid." Zeng Rongcheng replied in fear.

At this time, she couldn't help but feel a little more worried, shouldn't Liu Chunmiao and this imperial concubine collude again?

Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental, she caught up with this imperial concubine the first time she came to deliver something, but this imperial concubine also noticed a little palace maid a few feet away, this doesn't make sense!

"Is it really you? Have you embroidered the Queen Mother's regular clothes? ”

"Back to Niangniang, no, today the dragon raised his head and avoided needlework, so Aunt Liu sent a slave to Cining Palace to send something."

"Sending something? Didn't you just say you're waiting for someone? Waiting for whom? ”

Zeng Rongyou wanted to admit it, but then he thought about it, Liu Chunmiao knew that Amei was good friends with her, and this lie really couldn't be told.

"Hui Niangniang, a palace maid named Amei, came from the same embroidery workshop as the slave maid." Zeng Rong told the truth.

She was faintly still a little worried, if the Kong Ming lantern on the day of the Lantern Festival was bought for the second prince, most of Liu Chunmiao also knew, Liu Chunmiao knew, could this imperial concubine still not know?

The second prince and the imperial concubine are rivals, Amei is the one who serves the second prince, Zeng Rong is here to find Amei again, it's over, she is still involved.

"Go, go and ask, see who is called Amei, if she is not on duty in front of the Queen Mother, tell her that someone is looking for her outside, if she is on duty, forget it." The imperial concubine instructed a palace maid beside her.

"Qiyu Imperial Concubine Niangniang, someone helped the slave maid to pass the word, saying that if a stick of incense doesn't come out, don't wait, the slave and maid are calculating, it has already passed the time of a stick of incense, the slave and maid should go back early, thank you Niangniang." Zeng Rong hurriedly curtsied and stopped the other party.

Actually, whether to call or not, Zeng Rong has implicated Amei this time, but I am afraid that as soon as Zeng Rong turns around and leaves, the other party will find out Amei's origin, and since then, Amei has also been on her blacklist.

"Okay, you go..." Before she finished speaking, the imperial concubine smiled, "I'm afraid you won't be able to leave." ”

When Zeng Rong heard this, he hurriedly looked at the eyes of the imperial concubine, and another group of people came, and when he saw the bright dragon chariot in front of him, Zeng Rong knew that she really couldn't go.

So, she took a few steps back and cut off the palace maids and eunuchs brought by the imperial concubine, hoping that the emperor and the queen would ignore her.

In fact, a better way to hide is to stand in the middle of the pile of eunuchs and palace maids, but Zeng Rong saw that the clothes on his body were different from those palace maids, and it was even more abrupt to stand among them.

Soon, Long Yuan and Feng Yuan both stopped in front of Zeng Rong, Zeng Rong lowered his head, feeling that two eyes stopped above her head, only to hear the emperor ask: "Ah Yao, why don't you go in, who are you talking to?" ”

"The concubines have seen the emperor and the queen." The imperial concubine did not rush to reply, but bent her knees and bowed to the two of them officially, and then said: "Back to the emperor, a palace maid from the Shanggong Bureau, said that she came to send something to the queen mother, standing in such a cold day, the concubine looked strange and pitiful, and asked her a few words, only to know that she was the embroidery girl who embroidered a purse for us." ”

"Oh, so small?" The emperor glanced at her and quickly turned his head away, obviously not interested.

Zeng Rongzheng secretly rejoiced, who knew that the queen on the side said with a smile: "Back to the emperor, don't look at her small, smart, the concubine's phoenix wearing peony dress is also embroidered by her, the concubine originally wanted to find her to embroider a good fortune for Shen'er, I heard that she was busy with the mother's sixtieth birthday dress, the concubine had to give up, and wait for her to finish this time." ”

These words were obviously for the imperial concubine, she took a fancy to Zeng Rong first, and also booked the time after Zeng Rong.

"Oh, the queen knows her too?" Now it is difficult for the emperor to be interested in Zeng Rong.

Obviously a little girl who hasn't grown, and she's still a little embroidery girl, why did he smell gunpowder again?

"Lift your head and take a look." He wanted to take a good look at what was so good about this girl?

When Zeng Rong heard this, she hurriedly raised her head, now she was really frightened, and she was really blind, she hadn't thought about how to go in the future, so she couldn't hold it for a while, whether she should show her strength well to attract the emperor's attention or hide it.

"How old are you?" Zhu Xu saw that Zeng Rong was so frightened that he even forgot the rules and etiquette, and was about to reprimand a few words, but when he saw that the other party was a child, especially these eyes, which were like a frightened deer, he slowed down his tone a little.

"Return, return to the emperor, thirteen years old."

In fact, it is said that it is thirteen, Zeng Rong has not yet reached the age of twelve, and she has not yet developed, and she is originally from the south, and she is shorter than the north, so some people believe that she is ten years old.

No, when Zhu Xu heard Zeng Rong say thirteen, he asked again: "Thirteen is so small?" Could it be that there is not enough food in this palace? ”

"When I go back to the emperor, I can eat enough, but the slave maid has only been in the palace for four months, and I couldn't eat enough when I was in my hometown before." Zeng Rong replied tremblingly.

After speaking, she realized that there was something wrong with this, and asked me, in the whole world, who is an emperor who is willing to hear his people say that they can't get enough to eat?

Sure enough, the other party's tone was obviously colder when he heard this, "Why can't you eat enough?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid's family has a large population, six sisters, and the mother's health is not very good, but since the slave maid entered the palace, their lives have been much better, and they can have food and clothing." Zeng Rong made up for it.

Fortunately, Zhu Xu used this word a lot, so he didn't care about Zeng Rong's previous words, turned around and walked towards the door, and after two steps, he suddenly stopped, "Have you studied?" ”

"Your Majesty, the slave maid has been living in the academy for a while, and I am fortunate to learn to recognize some words with my husband." Zeng Rong replied.

Sad, he felt that Zeng Rong was different from those palace maids, it turned out that he had read books.

"Why did you enter the palace later?" Zhu Xu asked again.

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid worked in the embroidery workshop, and the Shang Gong Bureau recruited people from the embroidery workshop, and the slave and maid happened to be selected."

Zhu Xu nodded, turned around, and this time he really went in.

Zeng Rong didn't dare to move, lowered his head and watched a pair of feet pass by him, obviously feeling a pair of shoes wearing a peony pattern stop in front of him for a while, and left without saying anything.

Zeng Rong broke out in a cold sweat, and when there were only a few eunuchs carrying sedan chairs outside, she left the place all the way.
