Zeng Rong saw Amei crying, for fear that Zhu Heng would see it from the window, so he hurriedly pulled her into the apse by walking a few steps, but fortunately there was no one in the apse.

"Okay, don't worry, the second prince will be fine, care more about him, and talk to him more." Zeng Rong took out his silk handkerchief and handed it over.

Ah Mei didn't answer, pulled out her silk handkerchief, sucked it twice, wiped her tears, and said, "Then you have to be able to get close to him?" I don't know, the Queen Mother put the two new female officials next to the Second Highness at the beginning, and the Second Highness still drove away, and I was able to stay mostly because of the face. ”

"Nonsense, he didn't know me when he went to His Second Highness. Well, don't think about it, maybe he's been in a bad mood lately, and maybe he'll be fine in a while. Zeng Rong was also very conflicted, he didn't want to give Amei hope, but he couldn't bear to break Amei's thoughts.

This kind of thing is really not something that an outsider like her can interfere in.

Fortunately, Amei also knew that Cining Palace was not a place where she could show her true feelings, so she quickly put away her tears, and stopped continuing the topic, and said to Zeng Rong, "I'll wait here, go see the Queen Mother." ”

"Okay, I'll go to the dining room with me when I go back, what will I eat?" Zeng Rong asked her.

Amei shook her head, she started learning embroidery at the age of six, how could she have time to learn to cook?

"Come with me for a while, two people are better than one." Zeng Rong said.

Ame nodded.

When the Queen Mother learned that Zeng Rong not only persuaded Zhu Heng to take medicine, but also made food for Zhu Heng herself, she was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered someone to take Zeng Rong to the small kitchen of Cining Palace.

Zeng Rong also knew that the small kitchen of Cining Palace was in a small courtyard next to the backyard wing where Zhu Heng lived, no wonder Zhu Heng would propose to let Zeng Rong cook for him, so close, Zeng Rong happened to pull Amei in with him.

The small kitchen is not big, but it is not small, it is three connected upper rooms, from east to west, respectively, the warehouse, the washing and cutting room and the stove, because it is almost time to eat, when Zeng Rong entered, there were only two people in the warehouse counting the items, and then in the past, there were only two people in the washing and cutting room who were busy in front of the board, and there were five or six people in front of the stove in the west who were busy with their heads bowed.

Zeng Rong didn't know what to do, when she saw the two casseroles on the stove, she remembered a porridge, or the chicken soup porridge she had eaten when she had a miscarriage in the previous life, it was a clear soup steamed out of the whole chicken through water to boil porridge, add some chopped scallops, abalone or sea cucumber to the porridge, and then add some shredded chicken, wolfberry or something, no oil, very light, very delicious, suitable for the weak and weak.

In the end, in the royal kitchen, Zeng Rong has everything he wants, good conpoy and sea cucumber, and even half-boiled white porridge, the only thing missing is the chicken soup steamed out of the water, but this is not difficult for Zeng Rong, because there is a steamed flying dragon in the queen mother's dish, Zeng Rong asked for half of the flying dragon soup, so Zeng Rong's pot of porridge was made in less than two incense sticks.

Before leaving the pot, Zeng Rong cut some minced green onions and sprinkled them on top, there were red, green and black, and she had tasted the taste, no worse than the previous life, Zeng Rong served a bowl and sent it to the Queen Mother, and the rest of the people sent it to Zhu Heng with the pot.

"Is this really done?" Zhu Heng asked.

"The white porridge was boiled halfway by someone else, I borrowed it, and I put the ingredients in it myself, and I also watched the heat myself, is it considered that I made it?" Zeng Rong said while serving him porridge.

Because he was afraid of being hot, Zeng Rong only filled one spoonful, and then sent it to Zhu Heng after it was cooled with a spoon.

Zhu Heng took it and tasted it first, it was really light, salty and fresh, and the most important thing was that it was made by Zeng Rong himself, and Zhu Heng ate two small bowls for the first time.

"I'm not hungry for this porridge, can I pick some fish to eat? This fish is also very light. Zeng Rong pointed to a steamed grouper and said.

"No, that's enough." Zhu Heng rubbed his stomach, he had always had a small appetite, and today he made an exception.

"It's too little to eat, anyway, it's also at the age of growing your body, so let's keep this porridge and this fish, and let Sister Amei warm it up at night, how about it?" Zeng Rong discussed with him.

"Didn't you say there was another pill in the evening?" Zhu Heng asked her.

"No, I forgot about it, I have to go back to decoction." Zeng Rong really forgot about it.

"Don't worry, I'll have dinner first." Zhu Heng looked at the hourglass in the corner.

Zeng Rong also glanced at it, and saw that it was indeed too much, so she could only stay, so she called Amei to come in again, and the two ate something together, Zeng Rong left this half pot of porridge, and the rest of Amei withdrew.

This time Zhu Heng didn't keep her, Zeng Rong went to see the Queen Mother first, and the Queen Mother herself used half a bowl of porridge, and when she learned that Zhu Heng had eaten two bowls, she was so happy that she hurriedly took out a few pieces of jewelry that had been prepared long ago and gave them to Zeng Rong.

This time I gave a set of gold jewelry suitable for Zeng Rong's age, a pair of carved gold bracelets, a gold-inlaid coral collar, and a heavy gold lock hanging on it, a pair of gold hairpins, and a gold hairpin.

But that's too expensive, isn't it? Zeng Rong estimated that if nothing else, this collar alone would cost at least two hundred taels of silver, which would cover her wages for several years.

It is said that courtesy must be asked for by others, Zeng Rong somewhat guessed some of the Queen Mother's thoughts, and became panicked again.

"Don't accept it anymore, be obedient, this little thing is not worth anything, Heng'er, you have to think a little more these days." The Queen Mother saw that Zeng Rong wanted to refuse again and said.

"That being the case, it is better to be respectful than to obey the fate, the lower official thanked the queen mother, the second prince is the duty of the lower official, the lower official will do his best, and please don't worry about the queen mother." Zeng Rong knelt down and kowtowed to thank him, and specially accentuated the words "where the duty lies".

When the queen mother heard the words "where the duty lies", she was a little displeased in her heart, and glanced at Yuan Zhangshi beside her, and Yuan Zhangshi went out with the palace maids and eunuchs in the house.

Seeing that only she and Zeng Rong were left in the room, the Queen Mother ordered Zeng Rong to be flat, signaled Zeng Rong to take two steps forward, and said: "The mourning family wants not to worry, but the imperial doctor said that the child's heart disease is too serious, the liver is stagnant, and it has been severe to the symptoms of armpit and rib pain, loss of appetite, vomiting, etc., but the child refuses to admit it, the imperial doctor said that he is a doctor who is a disease and a doctor is avoided, but the mourning family is clear, he is not a disease and a doctor is avoided, but there is nothing to do, and the mourning family is also impossible, so I found it, Ah Rong, told the mourning family, why didn't you want to stay in Cining Palace in the first place? ”

This question really stumped Zeng Rong.

How should she answer?

It's impossible to tell the truth, but if she doesn't tell the truth, what reason should she find?

"Back to the Queen Mother, it's not that the lower officials don't want to enter Cining Palace, it's...

Fortunately, before Zeng Rong finished speaking, Aunt Yuan's voice sounded outside the door, and it was Zhu Heng who came.
