Zeng Rong saw that Queen Wang mentioned Tong Yao, his heart tightened, but he also looked up at the other party, but as soon as he met the other party's gaze, Zeng Rong was frightened by the chill in the other party's eyes.

"Back to the queen's mother, the lower official, the lower official doesn't know what the imperial concubine means, the lower official, the lower official is afraid, the lower official rejected the sister who passed the word at that time, yes, it was the queen mother who spoke, and the lower official had to go to the Wuying Palace." Zeng Rong said tremblingly.

"Oh, you mean, you don't listen to the words of the imperial concubine, you only listen to the words of the palace?" Wang Tong asked in a long voice.

When Zeng Rong heard this, he secretly gritted his teeth, and said that the women in the palace are not simple, but the other party's intention to stir up trouble is too obvious, right?

"Back to the queen's mother, the lower officials have no such intentions, the duty of the lower officials is to share the worries of the masters, and the masters must listen to their words."

"But before you clearly said that you rejected the imperial concubine, saying that it was the Wuying Hall that you only went to when the palace sent a message, could it be that you are the grass on the wall, saying one thing in front of the palace, and another in front of the imperial concubine. Zeng Rong, you are so bold, you dare to provoke the relationship between the palace and the imperial concubine? The last sentence, Wang Tong asked angrily.

Zeng Rong was so frightened that he knelt down again, "Back to the queen's mother, the lower officials are wronged, the lower officials have no such intentions, how many of the lower officials dare to provoke the relationship between the masters?" Xiaguan, Xiaguan refused the palace maid because she said that she had difficulties to find Xiaguan, Xiaguan did not approve of this, and when she was arguing with that sister, the queen mother came. ”

"That's it, let's be even, this palace is just asking casually, look at you scared like this, it's a shame that the emperor is not here, otherwise I think this palace will do something to you." In the final analysis, this palace is also afraid that you are young and don't know the importance of the stakes, so I will give you a few words, if you can listen to it, it will be good, if you can't listen, you will say it as a white palace. ”

Zeng Rong saw that the other party took back the words lightly, and guessed that Fang Cai's words were mostly said to some people, and they would definitely reach the ears of the imperial concubine, and maybe there would be some trouble.

After a little consideration, Zeng Rong had to reply: "Back to the queen's mother, the lower official is young, and there is indeed something inconsiderate, thank you Niangniang for your choice, and thank you Niangniang for your understanding, the lower official will keep it in mind." ”

Coming out of Kunning Palace, Zeng Rong did not rush to Yaohua Palace, but first went to the breakfast received by the Catering Bureau, and returned to Qianning Palace again, only to see Xiao Quanzi pulling his neck under the corridor to look out, seeing her, he was so busy that he ran over and took the food box in her hand, "Historian Zeng, you are back, the emperor is waiting for you." ”

When Zeng Rong heard this, he guessed that the emperor must have finished eating, and wanted to give her two dishes to show his grace, but the fire in her heart was not extinguished, so naturally she didn't want to receive this love.

Also, since that day of punishment and kneeling, the emperor has not found a chance to talk to her, this morning he was in a hurry to go to the court, and after the next court, he was busy meeting the minister, and then it was time to eat, and Zeng Rong took advantage of his time to pass the meal to find a reason to go to the catering bureau to get the meal.

Therefore, Zeng Rong guessed that the emperor probably wanted to trick her again, after all, she not only helped him refuse Wang Bai with dignity that day, but also asked Chang's father-in-law to hint that there were moths in his military camp, these words came out of the mouth of a little female official, and the emperor didn't suspect that someone was instigating her behind her back!

Sure enough, Zeng Rong followed Xiao Quanzi into the door, Xiao Quanzi led her to the small hall, Chang Dezi was waiting in the door, saw Zeng Rong, first scolded her, Zeng Rong looked in his direction, the emperor sat in front of the kang, holding a cinnabar pen in his hand, bowing his head and reading the chapter, there was a stack of one-foot-high folds on the kang table, and there was a cinnabar seal box next to it, which should have been moved from the upper study, because in addition to eating and meeting with his family, the emperor rarely stayed here.

Looking at it again, there were more than a dozen plates on the table of the Eight Immortals in the middle of the room, all of which were buckled with large bowls, and there was no one else in the room except Grandpa Chang, Zeng Rong understood that the emperor must have deliberately waited for her here.

Although he still breathed a sigh in his heart, Zeng Rong still stepped forward and saluted in an orderly manner, and this time, Zhu Xu raised his head and stared at her.

"Where did you go?"

"When I go back to the emperor, I will first go to Kunning Palace to thank the queen, and then go to the catering bureau to receive food." Zeng Rong told the truth.

"Thanks? Why? Zhu Xu's eyebrows raised slightly, but his tone was very calm.

Zeng Rong briefly repeated the following reasons.

Seeing that Zeng Rong had been behaving in a proper manner since he entered the door, and he had been speaking respectfully, Zhu Xu guessed that this girl must still be angry in her heart, so she smiled, "Girl, you are not small, dare to be angry with me." ”

"When I go back to the emperor, the lower officials don't dare, and the lower officials are afraid." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

"Go ahead, eat breakfast first, and talk about it later." After Zhu Xu finished speaking, he glanced at Chang Dezi.

Chang Dezi came over to invite Zeng Rong to the table, helped take down the bowl on the table, and served Zeng Rong a bowl of hot soup, saying that she was afraid that she would eat the cold air into her stomach, so she drank the hot soup first and then ate.

After the meal was over, Chang Gonggong ordered someone to clean up the things on the table, and Zeng Rong stood when he walked four or five steps away from the kang.

Although Zhu Xu's afterglow was aimed at Zeng Rong, he did not put down the pen in his hand, and after the approval of the piece at hand, he reviewed it again and revised two places, and then put down the Zhu pen, closed the piece, moved back, sat more comfortably, and turned to Zeng Rong.

"This time, I really should reward something, if it weren't for you, Concubine Yu's mother and son would be safe, let's say, you can make a request to me, think about it, this is an opportunity, and I won't wait."

In fact, what Zhu Xu was really moved by was not that Zeng Rong dared to go to Wuying Hall to find him, nor that Zeng Rong cleverly understood his intention to help him find a reasonable excuse to reject Wang Bai, but when he learned that he was punished because he was wronged, Zeng Rong also took the risk of recommending Zeng Taiyi for him, saying that acupuncture could be used to assist in midwifery.

At this kind of life-and-death juncture, even the imperial doctor didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward, for fear of being implicated and angry, but Zeng Rong, an outsider who had nothing to do with this matter, took the initiative to move forward and came up with an unsafe idea.

It's so rare.

Not to mention, this girl later took the risk of asking Chang Dezi to bring him a few words, knowing that this was also a thankless task, and if she didn't get it right, she would burn herself, but she still did it without hesitation.

Seriously, sometimes he really doesn't understand what this girl has in her head, obviously sometimes she looks smart, but she does something stupid to death, but it is this stupidity that moves him, and it is difficult for him not to feel sorry for her.
