Qian Yi entered the palace three days later to see the emperor.

Zhu Xu met him in the study, but Coco missed Zeng Rong on duty.

The two talked for about an hour.

Afterwards, Zhu Xu personally accompanied Qian Yi to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, and Zeng Rong happened to accompany Zhu Heng to practice archery in the back garden of Cining Palace.

After the weather was warm, Zhu Heng ordered someone to get a row of targets in the back garden of Cining Palace, and he began to practice archery.

Zhu Heng has been practicing for half a month, and he can barely pull the bow to shoot at a distance close to the target, but unfortunately he has never hit the target.

This is a lot of progress for Zhu Heng, after all, he couldn't even pull the bow half a month ago.

Because Zhu Xu had ordered someone to pass the word before, the Queen Mother originally wanted to order someone to summon Zhu Heng in the back garden, but then she thought about it, not only the uncle of the Qian family, but even her own son had never seen Zhu Heng shoot arrows, so it was easy to run into it, so the two of them had to see and understand, don't always think that the child is a waste.

Sure enough, after the visit, Zhu Xu and Qian Yi were taken aback when they learned that Zhu Heng was practicing archery in the back garden, and the two went directly into the back garden.

But this time Zhu Xu didn't let people pass it on, and in order to see Zhu Heng's true level, they didn't come forward after entering the back garden, standing behind Zhu Heng about ten zhang away, watching Zhu Heng shoot arrows with his bow, and watching Zhu Heng shoot three arrows in a row, all three arrows fell near the target, Qian Yi shook his head, Zhu Xu was a little surprised, because he knew too well what his son was like before.

It was Zeng Rong who went to pick up the arrows and found out that the guests had come, and before Zhu Heng turned the wheelchair, Zhu Xu and Qian Yi walked to him, Zhu Xu picked up the bow in Zhu Heng's hand and tried it, and patted his son on the shoulder, "Yes, you should have done this a long time ago." ”

Zhu Heng smiled, and then greeted Qian Yi.

Qian Yi also took the bow and tried it, and asked Zhu Heng how long he had been practicing, and what hobbies and activities he usually had.

Zhu Heng replied one by one.

While talking, Zhu Heng saw that his uncle was not interested in the flowers and plants in the back garden, so he simply led them to his residence and let his uncle see his daily life.

Zeng Rong originally wanted to say goodbye, but who knew that the emperor opened his mouth to leave her, and called out in public, "Girl, don't go." ”

Qian Yi didn't notice Zeng Rong, although the two had met in the Qian Mansion, but Zeng Rong was a woman dressed as a man before, and Zhu Heng was not easy to introduce her, Qian Yi also thought that Zeng Rong was the same as Xiao Haizi, they were all eunuchs around Zhu Heng, and they only skimmed it at a glance.

Therefore, when they met today, Qian Yi did not recognize Zeng Rong, not only that, but he also regarded Zeng Rong as an ordinary palace maid today, and he still skipped it at a glance.

But the emperor's "girl" made Qian Yi realize that something was wrong, not to mention the intimacy in the emperor's tone, this title is not right?

How can anyone call the palace maid "girl", in addition to their own children, they are generally called "girls" to the younger generations who are more familiar and close, right?

Of course, this word can also be used to refer to despised groups or individuals who don't like it, such as stinky girls, girl pieces or something, which is a contemptuous term.

But the emperor's tone obviously does not belong to the latter.

Zhu Heng saw that his uncle finally faced Zeng Rong, and he no longer hesitated, and said: "Uncle, Ah Rong is a female historian next to my father, and I often come to enlighten me on the orders of my father, and I have benefited a lot from her. ”

"Boy, how do you speak?" Zhu Xu glared at his son, first, he didn't like his son to use him as a cover, and second, his son's last sentence was easy to cause ambiguity.

Zhu Heng didn't realize that there was ambiguity in the last sentence, but he was really using his father as a cover, so when he saw that his father was angry, he hurriedly smiled at him, seeing this smile, Zhu Xu was stunned for a moment, and the follow-up words were not spoken.

If he remembered correctly, this should be the first time his son smiled at him, and he smiled so brightly that he had momentary dizziness and an indescribable ironing.

So, he stretched out his hand like an ordinary father and rubbed his son's head, probably because he was too excited and didn't control the strength well, he messed up Zhu Heng's originally neat hair.

Zhu Heng was also blinded by his father's sudden intimacy, blinked, and looked at Zeng Rong suspiciously, as if he didn't believe the scene in front of him.

Zeng Rong gave him an encouraging and affirmative smile back.

Qian Yi noticed this scene.

Thinking of the woman Zhu Heng described when he met him for the first time, she was from an average background, she was not yet young, she was very good to him, regardless of returns, is this not the little girl in front of her?

The problem is, this background is too low, right?

Although Qian Yi is not very clear about the origin of the palace maids and female officials, and he is not very good at distinguishing them, he knows one thing, which of those who entered the palace as eunuchs was not so poor that they couldn't open the pot before sending their children?

No wonder when he saw the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother asked him about the girl of the Qian family, but he didn't take it to heart at that time, thinking that it was just a normal question.

But why does the emperor take such a fancy to this little girl?

Without his consent, how could a female historian beside the emperor dance to the prince?

Could it be that he doesn't know the Queen Mother's thoughts?

It seems unlikely, the queen mother can beat the idea of the girl of the Qian family, it can be seen that the dissatisfaction with this little girl has been put on the surface, how can the emperor not know?

Could it be that this little girl is so special?

"Your name is Ah Rong, and you are the female historian next to the emperor? Looking at her age, she is not very old, but she has become a female historian, she must be very knowledgeable, and she has studied for a few years? Qian Yi asked while looking at Zeng Rong.

Even when he arrived, he didn't recognize Zeng Rong as a eunuch disguised as a man that day.

"Mr. Hui Qian, Xia Guan has not officially entered the school, because he has borrowed a period of time in the academy and learned a little from them." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

"Haven't officially entered school?" Qian Yi expressed suspicion and looked at Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu nodded and said with a smile: "This girl is smart, she followed the enlightenment of the gentleman of the academy, and she also taught herself, she asked if she didn't understand, and she also painted a good hand, and the embroidery was also good. ”

"To be praised by the emperor like this, it must be good to come to learn, how old is this year, and at what age did you enter the palace?" Qian Yi asked.

Zeng Rong bowed down again and replied.

Next, Qian Yi wanted to ask Zeng Rong where his hometown was, and who was waiting at home, but was interrupted by Zhu Heng, Zhu Heng pointed to the calligraphy and paintings on the wall and half of the words written on the desk, and asked Qian Yi to correct them.

Qian Yi gave Zhu Heng this face, did not ask Zeng Rong again, first stood in front of the desk and admired the unfinished text for a while, praised a few words sincerely, and then stood in front of the north wall, walked from the east to the west, and looked at the calligraphy and paintings one by one, some were Zhu Heng's own, some were collected, and Qian Yi commented on them one by one.

Finally, he stood in front of the Bogu frame.
