Chapter 195, don't pierce
Zeng Rong, who returned to the Shanggong Bureau, wanted to see Liu Chunmiao, but when he passed by the corner of the restaurant, he happened to meet the palace maid next to Liu Chunmiao to pick up food, and learned that Liu Chunmiao had gone to the harem and had not returned, so Zeng Rong went to the restaurant.
After the meal was over, Zeng Rong rested his thoughts about going to see Liu Chunmiao, although this matter was related to her, but the idea must have come from the imperial concubine, Liu Chunmiao had no right to speak, she could only cooperate, so it didn't make much sense for her to go to see Liu Chunmiao.
Besides, now that Zeng Rong has broken the situation of the imperial concubine, it should be them who are in a hurry, so if you brake quietly and wait for the follow-up.
However, Zeng Rong has never figured out why the imperial concubine changed her mind, the third prince named Zhu Wu seems to be only sixteen years old, Zeng Rong is only thirteen, both of them are too young, right?
Besides, you shouldn't be able to do anything on that occasion, right? If something really happens, it will not only ruin her reputation, but also the third prince.
With the temperament of the imperial concubine, can she tolerate this kind of thing happening?
Something must have gone wrong, that woman couldn't have calculated her son to trap her own son, so who would be the other person who was calculated?
Will Yoo Chunmiao give her an answer?
Zeng Rong, who returned to the dormitory, went to bring two buckets of hot water to bathe, and when he came out, Hongling and others also came back, saying that the party over there was over, and most of the sons of those families went out from the north gate of the back garden, and the children of the clan went back to Cining Palace with the three princes, saying that they wanted to receive a dinner.
According to Lu He told Zeng Rong in private, after those children of the family left, these children of the clan quarreled, the reason was that the third prince Zhu Wu blamed Zhu Kang for not forcing Zhu Heng to paint, and was held in front of so many people and put in front of the dwarf, what do outsiders think? What does the Queen Mother think?
In the end, instead of making it difficult for Zhu Heng, this move aroused everyone's sympathy and pity, and Zhu Heng also had a good reputation for generosity, tolerance, kindness, and gentleness.
What's even more disgusting is that after today, I am afraid that the entire capital will discuss this eldest son of the royal concubine who has disabled legs but is full of talent.
Zhu Kang refused to admit his mistake, he blamed Zhu Heng for not coming out to be embarrassed, and said that he was upset for Zhu Yu at that time, who made Zhu Heng too unpopular in his eyes, and what he said about how many grievances he had suffered over the years because of him, and he was punished by the Queen Mother.
"By the way, they also mentioned that the eyes of the second prince were so gentle, and that the second prince must have taken a fancy to them, but this was also diverted by the third prince and scolded them. The third prince is not bad, willing to speak for his brother, and also took the initiative to push the wheelchair, but unfortunately, the imperial concubine is the person... The latter words were not continued.
Zeng Rong glared at Lu He, "What are these words?" I don't know the second prince at all, so who is he not gentle with? Also, how can you overhear them? ”
Green Lotus lowered her head, the roots of her ears were visibly red with the naked eye, Zeng Rong looked at it, and combined with her words, he could guess her mind a little.
"Don't say I didn't warn, the imperial concubine knows better than me, if you want to enter Yaohua Palace, it's best to go through formal channels, otherwise, you will die a miserable death, don't forget my sister's lesson."
These words hit the sore spot of the green lotus, and he quickly raised his head, "I, I didn't, I just dropped something, and ran back to get it, and I ran into them on the way, and then I heard one or two." ”
"There is no best, I just wanted to remind you." Zeng Rong was afraid of the other party and did not expose her.
However, Lu He's words made her feel good, and those few clan disciples could see that Zhu Heng was here for her, and the Queen Mother would inevitably think the same, but where did Zhu Heng know that she was going to the back garden?
Aunt Qin, could it be the letter that Aunt Qin went to report?
Also, did Zhu Heng really go for her?
Zeng Rong felt that just based on the first meeting of the two of them in Cining Palace and the second meeting on the city wall today, even if Zhu Heng had a little affection for her, he should not have the courage to change himself for her and face other people's provocations for her, right?
A person who has been self-enclosed for almost a decade can change in a moment?
But what if Zhu Heng knew that she was the one who lifted him up and comforted him that night? Is this condition sufficient?
Does she need to go to Qin Chuxue for verification?
Zeng Rong shook his head.
She didn't want to be confused by Zhu Heng, her goal was the inner chamberlain, not Cining Palace.
That night, Qin Chuxue and Liu Chunmiao did not appear, Zeng Rong read the book and practiced the calligraphy, and went to the kang early in the morning.
The next day, Zeng Rong entered the workshop with everyone, she handed over all the work at hand, Liu Chunmiao had not yet sent her a new job, Zeng Rong was idle, found a few small rags, and planned to make a few pairs of socks for herself, and take them to wear or give away.
In the morning, Liu Chunmiao did not appear.
In the afternoon, Liu Chunmiao still did not appear.
After dinner, Zeng Rong hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still took a pair of his newly made socks into Liu Chunmiao's house, only to see Liu Chunmiao sitting on the kang with dinner, when he saw Zeng Rong, his face was pulled, his eyelids were closed, and he continued to bow his head and eat his own food.
Zeng Rong didn't care, took out the socks he had made and sat over, "Auntie, this is the socks I made today, do you like it?" ”
Liu Chunmiao glanced at her, but still didn't squeak.
Zeng Rong glanced back at the palace maid who opened the door, the palace maid shook her head, saw Liu Chunmiao put down the dishes and chopsticks, hurriedly stepped forward to move the kang table out, and carefully brought the door from the outside.
"Tell me, what happened yesterday?" Liu Chunmiao ignored Zeng Rong's overtures and asked with a dark face.
"Didn't I want to dig up the shepherd's cabbage after breakfast yesterday? Maybe there will be a little cool breeze, and I will feel a little uncomfortable when I enter the back garden, so I have to take a leave of absence from my aunt in charge, but who knew that I came out of the thatched house, and suddenly ran into the queen mother when I passed by the Qin'an Palace. Zeng Rong lied.
Since the other party didn't want to admit that they had used despicable means, why did she rush to jump out and expose it?
Who wouldn't pretend to be stupid, she is young, has a simple experience, and has advantages, and if she really wants to break things, I'm afraid they will have to doubt her mind.
Although Liu Chunmiao felt that this explanation was very reasonable, the woman's intuition told her that things would not be so simple, even if what Zeng Rong said was true, how could she explain the sudden appearance of the second prince? How to explain the drastic change in his personality? And how to explain his overtures to Zeng Rong?
"I asked, have you seen the Second Highness before?"
"No, auntie, before yesterday, I had only been to the harem twice, the first time was on the second day of February, when I met the imperial concubine, she could testify, and the second time I went with me."
"No, before these two times, I went to see the queen, and I didn't come back for a long time, what did I do during that time?" Liu Chunmiao retorted.
When Zeng Rong heard this, he patted his head, "No, how did I forget it?" But that time, I also explained to me that I was lost. ”
"Yes, I believe it. What about the old Chinese New Year's Eve, really didn't go to the harem? ”
These words stopped Zeng Rong.
