After analyzing Zeng Rong's calligraphy, Zhu Xu looked up at Zeng Ronglai, because he remembered one thing, it is said that the queen mother gave this girl a pair of peony flowers that she wore when she was young, but this girl refused because she didn't know the goods.

Coincidentally, on the queen mother's birthday, it is said that his eldest son, who had never seen outsiders, went to participate in a poetry meeting, but this girl was also present, so that many ministers asked Zhu Heng at the court meeting in the next few days, and even some ministers took the initiative to ask Zhu Heng to visit a famous doctor for Zhu Heng to see if he could cure Zhu Heng's legs.

Thinking of this, Zhu Xu's heart was a little uncomfortable again, he hated the advice of those ministers, as if Zhu Heng was not his own son, and he, the emperor, didn't care about his son and treated his son badly.

In fact, in the first two years of Zhu Heng's accident, not only did the imperial doctor in the palace treat Zhu Heng without interruption, but also found several so-called famous doctors from outside, and the final result was one, his meridians were damaged, and he was weak to return to heaven.

But these ministers don't give up, they have to toss something to make him annoyed.

That's all, it's already happened, and anyway, it's a good thing that this son is willing to come out to meet people.

It's just that he's really for this girl?

But this girl is not amazing, and she is not very old, she is obviously a little bean ding, although she is a little smart, but she is not clever at all, and she seems to be very boring, and her eyes are okay, quite bright.

"How long have you been in the palace?"

"Back to the emperor, half a year." Zeng Rong remembered that he seemed to have answered this question last time, but the other party was the emperor, and it was inevitable that the nobles would forget things.

"How many years have you been reading?"

"Go back to the emperor, seven or eight years intermittently." Zeng Rong counted the experience that her eldest brother taught her to read before Zeng Hua was born, otherwise, she would not be able to explain her calligraphy.

"What else but calligraphy?"

"Go back to the emperor, embroider and paint."

Next, Zhu Xu asked Zeng Rong's hometown and the population situation of his family, etc., and when he was bored, someone came to pass the word, saying that it was from Cining Palace, and he heard that the emperor had announced the imperial doctor, and wanted to ask the emperor what was going on.

"You go to Cining Palace to see the Queen Mother, explain today's events, don't let the Queen Mother worry." Zhu Xu said to Zeng Rong.

Because Zeng Rong lowered his head, he didn't realize that he was saying this to her, and he thought it was to Chang Gonggong or Cui Yuanhua.

Seeing that Zeng Rong didn't move, Zhu Xu raised his voice, "What about you, why are you dumb again?" ”

"Huh?" Zeng Rong raised his head, obviously startled again.

Shouldn't this kind of thing be said back by the eunuchs beside him? Besides, the Queen Mother sent someone to come, wouldn't it be okay to tell the person who came directly?

"Ah what, you, go to Cining Palace, tell the Queen Mother that I was stuck by a fish bone today, thanks to you, I suffered a sin for half an hour, and finally the root of my tongue was red and swollen, I had difficulty swallowing, and I needed to take a decoction for two days." Zhu Xu gritted his teeth and said word by word, if it weren't for the fact that the other party was a little girl, he would have kicked it over.

Zeng Rong opened his mouth, wanting to defend himself a few words, but when he saw that there were so many eunuchs and palace maids around him, he had to shut up and respond respectfully: "Oh." ”

"Try a wrong word." Zhu Xu threatened, and then glanced at the eunuch from Cining Palace, who nodded in succession.

Zeng Rong didn't even dare to open his mouth this time, bowed down and took a few steps back, and when he arrived at the door, he turned around and went out, and after coming out, Zeng Rong immediately took a few deep breaths, and stretched out his hand to smooth his chest a few times, and said silently in his heart a few times, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, can't be angry." ”

said that he was not angry, but this tone was really not easy to go on.

Not to mention anything else, she has just knelt for two hours, and she will be allowed to go to Cining Palace again, do she still want her legs?

This emperor probably did it on purpose, right? Don't like her?

"Do you want to go?" The eunuch next to him urged.

"Go, go, there's this father-in-law." Zeng Rong hurriedly put on a smiling face.

The two walked one after the other for more than a quarter of an hour, but fortunately, because Zeng Rong took the initiative to explain to the other party that his legs and feet were a little unfavorable, and the eunuch did not urge her, and kept following her steps.

Entering Cining Palace, Zeng Rong was still waiting at the foot of the steps, and the father-in-law went in first to reply, and soon came out to greet Zeng Rong.

When Zeng Rong entered, the Queen Mother was sitting on the kang, bowing her head and rummaging through a few pieces of paper, and there were palace maids and eunuchs next to her, Zeng Rong knelt down, "Back to the Queen Mother, the slaves and maids came from Qianning Palace to speak for the emperor." ”

Hearing Zeng Rong's voice, the Queen Mother raised her head, obviously surprised, "It's you?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it is a slave maid, a slave and a maid are in the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, and Cui is in charge of doing things, the first day of work today, the emperor ordered the slave maid to pass the word, saying that there can be no wrong word, and please ask the queen mother not to be presumptuous of the slave maid, the emperor's original words are, 'Ah what, you, go to Cining Palace, tell the queen mother that I was stuck by a fish bone today, thanks to you, suffered a sin for half an hour, and finally the root of the tongue was red and swollen, difficult to swallow, and needed to take a two-day decoction.' After speaking, Zeng Rong turned to the prince next to him, "Princess, the little one is right, right?" ”

The prince nodded, "Yes, word for word." ”

However, the Queen Mother was a little confused when she heard Zeng Rong's words, and after thinking about it for a while, she realized that her son was angry with a little girl.

"What's going on, tell me in detail, he's stuck with a fish bone, what does it have to do with you?" The Queen Mother ordered Zeng Rong to stand up and speak.

It may be that the pain in Zeng Rong's knee when he got up accidentally drove the expression on his face, and the Queen Mother noticed, "What's wrong with the leg?" ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's okay, I just accidentally knocked it." Zeng Rong didn't dare to sue.

The Queen Mother nodded, and didn't ask any more, of course she knew that Zeng Rong's knees must be swollen, and the imperial concubine specially came to tell her that Zeng Rong was punished for kneeling for two hours, didn't she just want to add trouble to her and Zhu Heng, so she instructed the people around her not to mention this matter to Zhu Heng.

But in the end, she was a little upset, so she sent someone to Qianning Palace to ask and want to know what was going on.

Zeng Rong learned the process of her and Cui Yuanhua entering the Yaohua Palace to pull out the thorn for the emperor in the morning, "Empress Dowager Qiyu, the slave maid really didn't mean to tease the emperor, it was the first time she really faced the saint, how dare you recommend yourself?" Besides, the slave and maid are not very sure, and they can't afford to take this responsibility if they are delayed? Later, it was the emperor who appointed the slave maid, and the slave maid dared to try. ”

"This matter is in the past, remember it in the future, hide it when you should hide it, and make a move when you should make a move, whether it is a palace maid or a female official, it is all for the master to share worries and solve problems, just remember this. By the way, there is one more thing, you have now been promoted to a female official, and you don't have to be a slave anymore. ”

The Queen Mother also did not praise judging who was right and who was wrong, standing in Zeng Rong's position, the little girl was understandably afraid, and from her son's point of view, it was normal for her to be angry after suffering more than half an hour, so she did not comment.
