Chapter 176, Human Nature
Seeing the brilliance in Amei's eyes, Zeng Rong was very hesitant, she wanted to persuade Amei not to be tempted, but she was a person from the past, she knew what it was like to like someone, and she also knew that once the human heart was identified, it would be difficult to take it back.
"Amei, you, you have to think clearly... Zeng Rong was entangled for a while and spoke, but halfway through his words, he stopped again.
She suddenly remembered that Amei had only been by the second prince's side for a month, but she was afraid that even she might not be able to figure out whether this relationship was like or sympathy, or she herself was still in the stage of ignorance, and too much and premature intervention might not be a good thing.
"Think about what?" Seeing that Zeng Rong was halfway through what she said, Ah Mei didn't look like her character, and asked.
"Think about the relationship between you and the second prince, you are the palace maid, he is the prince, you have to put yourself in the right position, there are some things that are not up to us little ants to decide." Zeng Rong put it another way.
The last sentence said to Amei's heart, I saw her silent for a moment, sighed, and said quietly: "Yes, I feel very angry when I say this, I accompanied him to put Kong Ming Lantern on the night of the Lantern Festival, someone saw it, and went to the Queen Mother to complain, saying that it was a big night, the second prince's illness has not yet healed, I will definitely aggravate the condition if I take him out, the Queen Mother was angry, and punished me for kneeling for two hours, none of those people interceded for me, they were all watching the excitement." ”
"What about him? He didn't intercede for you either? Zeng Rong asked.
"He didn't know it at the time, but he comforted me a few words afterwards, telling me that it was very hard to be his palace maid and eunuch, and my punishment was quite light, which palace maid and eunuch beside him had not been beaten and who had not been kneeling?" Ame said angrily.
This is the truth, don't talk about others, Qin Chuxue's injuries and illnesses are not all implicated by him, it seems that this queen mother is also unreasonable, she can't control her grandson, she can only be angry with the people around her grandson.
According to Amei, in fact, no one around the Queen Mother is willing to serve the second prince, first, it is risky, and punishment is common; second, because he has an eccentric temper and is not easy to get along with; Third, he is not favored, and if he doesn't fall well, he will be despised and ridiculed.
"What about you? What do you think? Can this errand be pushed out? Zeng Rong asked.
After knowing Zhu Heng's identity, Zeng Rong didn't want Amei to continue to follow him, not because she didn't sympathize with him, but because he didn't want to be too deeply involved between them, it was difficult for Zeng Rong to find a way to survive in the gap between the queen and the imperial concubine, and then bring Zhu Heng and Amei, I was afraid that all three of them would have to fall.
"Me?" Ah Mei was stunned by the question, and after a while she muttered: "I can't say it, sometimes I sympathize with him, sometimes I annoy him, how to say it, it's clear that sometimes you think he's very close to you, but you can't get over, obviously sometimes you think he speaks very gently, but the words he says can freeze people to death, he especially likes to be alone, we are not allowed to appear around him, and we are not allowed to make any movement, and the Queen Mother is not allowed to leave him half a step, you say, what should we do?" What can we do? ”
"If you can't rely on it, don't rely on it, you and him are not the same kind of people, different backgrounds, different talents, different experiences and experiences, you can't get along, his daily thoughts and thoughts are completely different from what you pay attention to, you can't understand, and you can't fit in, so you can do your duty with peace of mind, don't cross the line, otherwise, you should be cleaned up." Zeng Rong was worried that it was difficult to persuade her.
Who knew that Ah Mei smiled when she heard this, and stared at Zeng Rong carefully.
"What? Something on my face? Zeng Rong felt weak for no reason.
"If it were you, wouldn't you be able to make friends with him?" Ame asked.
"Me?" Zeng Rong paused, flashed the young man that night, and shook his head hurriedly, "Of course, I'm not as good as you, I grew up in the countryside." ”
As soon as Ah Mei heard the word "rural", she finally withdrew her gaze from Zeng Rong's face, "Maybe, he really can't make a heart, he seems to have someone in his heart, sometimes he will be in a daze at a tree, sometimes he will be in a daze at a painting, and sometimes he will be in a daze with a hand stove, and those of us who serve him can only watch from afar." Actually, don't look at him as a prince, his life is hard enough. ”
"Ahem." Zeng Rong was choked by himself, "Stop, it's not your responsibility, it's out of bounds." ”
At this time, Zeng Rong suddenly regretted it, he knew that this was the case, he shouldn't have given him the hand stove that night, and he also scored points for sending charcoal in the snow.
But then again, he was in a collapse at that time, and if anyone sent him a little love and warmth, I was afraid that he would be engraved in his heart, which has nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, this is human nature.
Thinking about it like this, Zeng Rong felt a little more comfortable.
"Crossing the line again?" Ah Mei laughed at herself and said, "Okay, don't talk about it, you tell me directly, what should I do?" ”
"Simple, just do what you should do, what you should do as a palace maid, don't worry about anything else, your sympathy and pity will only embarrass him more, as for what you say about other people's ridicule or something, don't take it to heart, let alone mention half a word to him." Zeng Rong couldn't give her better advice.
Amei nodded, wanted to ask something, opened her mouth, and closed it again.
Zeng Rong wanted to ask her what else she wanted to say, but she was afraid that she would not be able to answer what she said, because she knew that Amei wanted her to enter Cining Palace, but in the current situation, she was not suitable for the past.
Afraid that Zhu Heng would recognize her on the one hand, on the other hand, she didn't want to serve Zhu Heng, she really wanted to cause some trouble, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would not spare her.
Also, the most critical point is that Zeng Rong has a farther goal, she wants to go to the inner chamberlain, she wants to go to the emperor's side, only in this way can she jump out of the gap between the queen and the imperial concubine, and can really help Xu Jing, perhaps, she can also help the second prince, and return Qin Chuxue's favor.
It's just that she is a little embarrassed about what to do at present, a few days ago, when she visited, Ziluo brought the words of Mrs. Xu, saying that Lord Xu also approved of her going to Cining Palace, which was the first choice, and if she really couldn't do it, she would go to the inner chamberlain, and she would not approve of her going to either the queen or the imperial concubine.
Of course, if you can stay in the embroidery workshop and be an embroiderer in peace, it is best to wait for a few years to find a reason to leave the palace, this is the best choice.
"By the way, Amei, you are by the side of the Queen Mother, have you heard when the people sent from all over the following places will arrive? I heard that there may be a female officer selection after the audition, and I want to take this exam, so you can help me keep an eye on it. Zeng Rong said.
She didn't want to completely entrust this matter to Qin Chuxue or Liu Chunmiao, she was afraid that after their manipulation, she finally chose a place she didn't want to go.
