This New Year, Zeng Rong spent most of his time sorting out the folds for the emperor in the upper study, and he still went to Cining Palace every once in a while.

In the first month, it was inconvenient for Ouyang Si to enter the palace for Zhu Heng's acupuncture, and besides, there was still a month before the spring season began, and he should also prepare for it.

But the old lady of the Empress Dowager also had to ask Zhu Heng to move back, saying that it would be difficult to let Zhu Heng live with her again after getting married, so Zhu Heng moved back to Cining Palace, and Zeng Rong took over the work of acupuncture again.

Because most of Zhu Heng's meridians have been opened, in addition to normal acupuncture, Zeng Rong also has to assist him in practicing his legs, such as hitting the muscles of his legs to stimulate his perception and encourage him to use his mind to control his toes to move.

At the beginning, it took Zhu Heng half a year to move the big toe of his right foot, usually tossing for a long time to move occasionally, and he had to sweat, and now three months have passed, and the big toe of both feet can move, but he can't move at the same time, but he is much more agile than before.

According to Ouyang Si, if the toes on both feet can be moved, he can practice standing in the back, so Zhu Heng is also busy, and sometimes he doesn't forget to hook his toes when he holds a book in his hand or sits down to eat.

Zeng Rong received the golden bowl given to her by Zhu Xu on the day of the Lantern Festival, which was made of pure gold, and there was indeed a payment at the bottom of the bowl, "Yu gave Zeng Rong".

Because this golden bowl was given to her by Zhu Xu in front of the palace maids and eunuchs of Qianning Palace, the news spread quickly, and some familiar palace maids and eunuchs actually came to see the true face of this golden bowl.

In fact, as early as the second day of the Lunar New Year, after the family banquet, Zeng Rong found that his status in the palace seemed to have been greatly improved, walking on the road, people who didn't know him would come to say hello to her, and when she went to Ruohua Palace to visit Zheng Jiao, Tian Guifei smiled a lot more eagerly at her.

And also? Once at the gate of Cining Palace, I met Concubine De Niangniang, Zeng Rong politely curtsied to the other party and said two auspicious words, which is regarded as a New Year's greeting, Concubine De actually took off a pair of gold bracelets inlaid with two gems from her wrists on the spot and gave it to her? Zeng Rongwan refused? I had to let the other party put it on my hand? However, when he entered Zhu Heng's room, he faded.

This Lantern Festival, a large-scale family banquet was still held in the name of the Queen Mother, and the Queen and the Imperial Concubine still did not show up.

The reason for the queen is easy to understand? Preterm birth plus dystocia? His vitality was greatly damaged, and he is still in bed.

However, the imperial concubine has not yet appeared, Zeng Rong is a little puzzled, it is reported? The emperor hasn't set foot in Yaohua Palace for half a month? Rumor is it that her face is still medicated? What are the facts? Zeng Rong didn't know? Even Ah Chun didn't find out the exact news.

I heard that there are still imperial doctors in and out of Yaohua Palace every day? Lu He also sent medicine to Yaohua Palace twice, but he did not see Tong Yao himself.

I don't know if these two important figures didn't appear, Zhu Xu's interest was obviously not high, he only drank a few glasses of wine with the Queen Mother, and he didn't even have any interest in watching the song and dance carefully prepared by the Queen Mother? Leave early? Shut himself up in the upper study.

Zeng Rong didn't know any of this? She doesn't have the qualifications to attend such a serious reunion banquet at the moment? Therefore, after receiving this golden bowl from Qianning Palace in the morning, he and Ah Chun did needlework in the house after returning.

After the dinner, Chang Dezi sent Xiao Quanzi to find Zeng Rong, and Zeng Rong knew that the emperor had locked him in the upper study alone.

Zeng Rong hesitated, and pulled Ah Chun to change into the clothes of the flat-headed people? Only then did he go to Qianning Palace.

Chang Dezi was guarding the door of the upper study, and when he saw Zeng Rong, he waved his hand first, and when he was about to go in to pass the word, Zeng Rong deliberately shouted to him, "Hey, Chang Gonggong, you are here, is the emperor here?" ”

"Ouch, shhh, be quiet, the emperor is reviewing the folds." Chang Dezi pinched his throat and said.

"What is the approval of the festival, today is the Shangyuan Festival, it should be fun for all the people, I have changed my clothes, and I am about to go out of the palace to see the lantern festival. I don't know if the emperor is interested. Zeng Rong said as he lifted the curtain and went in.

Zhu Xu was about to get angry, but when he saw Zeng Rong's coarse linen clothes and two thick braids, he actually forgot to reprimand her, but asked with disgust: "It turns out that you were like this before you entered the palace?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's better than this, the clothes of the meeting still have to be patched. Your Majesty, today you gave the lower official a golden bowl, and the lower official reciprocated the peach, and took you out of the palace with the courage to go around, how about it? It is guaranteed that you can see different fireworks and have a real Shangyuan Festival. ”

"What are these words? I want to take you out of the palace with me, what kind of reciprocation is this? Zhu Xu was tempted, but when he heard Zeng Rong's words, he always felt unhappy.

"Back to the emperor, you haven't lived outside the palace, as soon as you go out, you must not be suitable for anywhere, and besides, you can't see what you want to see, but it is different with the lower officials, the lower officials are familiar with the market life, and can take you to see the real market life of the people under your governance. But there's one thing to say first, when you go out, you have to listen to the officials, oh, no, listen to me, I have to change this mouth first. Zeng Rong stepped forward to drag Zhu Xu while thinking about it.

"Stop, stop, pull and pull, what kind of system?" Zhu Xu reprimanded her while getting up.

No one dared to come up and drag him like this, Zhu Xu was shocked, but he didn't forget to cooperate, but he still had to have the posture that he should have.

"Back to the emperor, I have thought about it, I will give you two options, one option is to be my father, the other option is to be my master, and I will be a slave, which do you think is more suitable?" Zeng Rong asked with a grin, not taking the other party's reprimand seriously at all.

"I want to be my daughter, I want to be beautiful." Zhu Xu reached out and patted Zeng Rong's head, and looked at her clothes again with disgust.

Zeng Rong pursed his mouth, "Okay, it's true that the lower officials want to do something beautiful, then you can be the master, I and Father-in-law Chang are a father and daughter, and Ah Chun, our family will accompany the master to visit the Lantern Festival." ”

"This can't be helped, it can't be helped, the old slave is tormented, and the old slave goes to find clothes for the master." Chang Dezi saw that the emperor got up, and hurriedly turned around and went out.

"Just a few of us?" Zhu Xu asked.

"Ah, but for the sake of safety, the master still brings a few guards, but those guards don't follow us, the slaves are afraid of scaring others." Zeng Rong replied.

"No, I, no, I mean it's not called Heng'er?" Zhu Xu asked.

Zeng Rong shook his head, "I said that I will repay the peach today, and I will accompany the master wholeheartedly, and there will be many opportunities to accompany him in the future, but next time I want to accompany the master, the master may not be willing to give the slave a chance." ”

Zeng Rong originally thought about bringing Zhu Heng, but she was afraid that she would be distracted to take care of him if she brought Zhu Heng, and her focus today was to make the emperor happy.
