Hearing that someone had spread the news that the imperial concubine had arrived, Zeng Rong was first surprised, and then he was surprised, bowed his head, and smiled.

Anyway, the arrival of this woman should be a good thing for Zeng Rong this time, otherwise, Zeng Rong didn't dare to guarantee that the queen would let her go to the inner prison, especially since she made a mistake just now, and the two mothers in charge obviously gave her a bad review.

What Zeng Rong didn't expect was that his bow and smile actually fell into the eyes of Queen Wang, Queen Wang didn't like it when she heard that woman was coming, but she bumped into Zeng Rong's laughter again, and she was even more annoyed, thinking that Zeng Rong chose to join forces with that woman, so that woman came to support Zeng Rong.

Tong Yao didn't seem to notice the undercurrent in the side hall, and stepped forward with a smile and saluted the queen, "The concubine sees the queen." ”

"The imperial concubine is exempt." No matter how unhappy Queen Wang was, she had to squeeze out a smiling face and said: "Today is the harem screening female officials, could it be that the imperial concubine has a favorite person?" ”

"The queen is in front, how dare the concubines trespass? The concubine came here to ask for peace routinely, I heard that the queen was choosing someone here, and the concubine came over to join in the fun, the queen is busy with you. Tong Yao still replied respectfully, but the last sentence didn't sound so good.

When Queen Wang saw Tong Yao say that she wanted to stay and watch the excitement, she obviously didn't plan to leave for a while, this woman was used to causing trouble, if she was allowed to stand for a long time, maybe she would go to the emperor to complain about something.

Queen Wang had suffered several losses before, and knew that her weight was no match for the other party, so she didn't want to go down hard, and ordered loudly: "Come on, go and move a stool for the imperial concubine." ”

"Queen Qiyu, I'm afraid that one is not enough, there are still many sisters waiting in the main hall, if you call them together, you will be idle, and you may be able to help the queen run errands or something."

Sure enough, as soon as Tong Yao's voice fell, another eunuch shouted outside, the four concubines had arrived.

When Queen Wang heard this number, her eyes flashed slightly, and then she smiled and said, "Okay, come here, take a seat." ”

As soon as the words fell, four graceful women rushed in, walked to the middle of the side hall and greeted the queen in a regular manner, and then retreated to the side and sat down when the queen personally asked them to sit down.

"Is the assessment over?" The imperial concubine saw that the two old grandmothers and gods were looking at their noses and noses on the ground, and their noses were looking at their hearts, as if they were indifferent to everything around them, so they had to take the initiative to ask.

"Back to the imperial concubine, not yet." One of the grandmothers got up and bowed back.

The imperial concubine was speechless and smiled.

The queen had no choice but to speak, and spit out two words, "Go on." ”

The mamma sat down again, picked up the list and called for the next one.

When it was the last woman's turn, there was a rumor of a eunuch outside, saying that Liu Neishou was coming, Zeng Rong looked up, and it was one of the two old eunuchs who came in, followed by a little eunuch, and the little eunuch was still holding the forty exam papers.

This Liu Neishou obviously didn't expect so many more people in the room, and after saluting one by one, he bowed down and said: "Empress Qiyu, the reading has been completed, and the top two are Zeng Rong and Zhen Qing. ”

"Zeng Rong?" After asking, the queen glanced at the two old ladies next to her.

"Liu Neishi, Zeng Rong's etiquette assessment only got C, and his comprehensive score can't enter the top two, I'm afraid that such a person will be arranged to the emperor's side, and it will be unfair to the other." It was still the grandmother who had just gotten up to answer the imperial concubine and spoke.

"Etiquette assessment?" Liu Neishou turned his head and glanced at each side, "Which one is Zeng Rong?" ”

Zeng Rong hurriedly got up, walked to the middle of the room, and bowed to the other party, "The slave family has seen the servant. ”

Very standard gait, very standard curtsy.

"Dare to ask Li Zhangjiao, what's wrong?" Liu asked the woman who had just spoken.

"Just now, her body shook when she saluted, which was regarded as indecent, and the queen happened to enter the door at that time, so she saluted the queen by herself, which was regarded as indecent." Li Zhangjiao said.

"Mama Li is a bit of a strong man, isn't it? This little girl must have been frightened by the queen's entry into the door before she shook her body, and it is normal for people to salute the queen, could it be that your assessment is more important than the queen? The imperial concubine spoke.

"Back to the imperial concubine, this is the exam rule, and it should be so." Li Zhangjiao bowed and replied.

"Okay, let's talk about the rules, you have your rules, and the inner attendant also has the rules of the inner attendant, what we value more is a person's talent." Liu Neishou replied proudly.

"Liu Neishi, this palace has no intention of forcibly detaining people, but this Zeng girl is the person in the queen mother's phase, the queen mother has liked this Zeng girl more than once, and the palace is also embarrassed, if this is the case, if Liu Neishou insists on wanting this Zeng girl, let the palace and the queen mother agree and then discuss it." Queen Wang said.

"Queen Qiyu, since the queen is embarrassed, if you just hand over this matter to Liu Nei, Liu Neishou will go to the Queen Mother to ask for guilt. However, Liu Neishi, there is something unsolved in this palace, your internal servants have always been more strict in selecting people, but it is not that they cannot be accommodating, why do you have to designate this Zeng girl this time? The imperial concubine got up and said.

"Back to the imperial concubine Niangniang, this Zeng girl wrote a good hand, and the writing is thoughtful, the words are reasonable, the words are well-founded, the rhetoric is simple and not piled up, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Sun said after reading it, to hone it for one or two years, is the best candidate for a female historian." Liu Neishou replied.

"I see, the emperor has always valued the position of the female historian of the inner court, and the queen mother must also know it, so go as long as Liu Neishou." After speaking, the imperial concubine retreated to her place and sat down.

"Liu Neishi, in the past, the inner chamberlain was only responsible to the emperor, and did not interfere in the affairs of the harem, and the affairs of the harem were all up to the queen, do you want to trespass?" Another old woman asked.

"This question is fresh, when did our family intervene in the affairs of the harem? Our family is just selecting people, and our family has always been responsible for the selection of people by the inner guard. Liu Neishou retorted.

"The old body wants to know, if the emperor knows that this Zeng girl is not qualified for etiquette, will he insist on her?" Li Zhangjiao asked.

"Li Zhangjiao, you don't know this, the emperor has seen this Zeng girl, praised her for being gentle and smart, if you don't believe this, you can ask the queen. Could it be that you mean that the emperor's vision is not as good as yours? The imperial concubine said slowly.

"The old body doesn't dare." Li Zhangjiao bowed his head respectfully.

"Okay, it's just a little palace maid, Liu Neishou is willing to go to the queen mother to beg for help, which saves the palace embarrassment. Liu Neishou might as well go first, and wait for the palace to settle these girls one by one. The queen spoke.

She didn't believe it, the Queen Mother liked Zeng Rong so much, would she be willing to give Zeng Rong to the emperor?

No, the crux of this matter should be on the emperor, if the emperor knows that the queen mother likes Zeng Rong, he should not open his mouth to ask for someone again, and once he opens his mouth, the queen mother will probably agree to him in order to take care of the emperor's face.

It's so hanging, she almost fell for that woman.
