Zeng Rong was not surprised that Wang Fan, Li Man, and Gu Tou would appear at all, but she guessed that the protagonist of today's scene should be the purple-clothed young man Zhu Wu, but what she didn't understand was that the imperial concubine didn't obviously agree to promote her to the inner chamberlain, why did she suddenly change her mind?

As for why it is not Wang Fan, Zeng Rong guessed that it was impossible for Queen Wang to offend the Queen Mother for a little her, after all, no matter how noble Wang Fan was, he was no more noble than the prince, and there was no need for the Wang family to get into this troubled water.

Moreover, the three of them looked like they were not giving up, Zeng Rong expected that these three people would only be more shocked than her when they saw her, not like they knew it in advance.

Old Madam Xu was well aware of the grievances between Zeng Rong and the Wang family, and when she saw that these three people were staring at Zeng Rong and ignoring the main master, she couldn't help but be a little anxious, she was afraid that the queen mother would find out, and at the same time, she was also afraid that the second prince would be angry.

Although Zeng Rong and the second prince did not interact along the way, Mrs. Xu's nearly sixty years of life experience had already sensed the undercurrent between the second prince and Zeng Rong, especially when she listened to Hongling's words and knew that Zeng Rong should have appeared in the middle of the pavilion to serve people, she guessed the reason for the second prince's appearance.

It's just that she hasn't understood who is in charge of this drama today, the queen or the imperial concubine?

But one thing she is sure of is that it is not Zeng Rong who rushes, but their Xu family.

Fortunately, Zeng Rong, the kid, was smart and escaped this catastrophe, otherwise, he would have been afraid that his reputation would not end well.

Also, what happened in just two months, Zeng Rong said that he had not seen the Queen Mother on the day of the Lantern Festival, and he didn't know the existence of the second prince, how did he suddenly fall into the eyes of these two people?

It's a pity that this second prince is in a wheelchair.

But then again, it is better to be in a wheelchair than to be in a wheelchair, at least he doesn't have to get involved in the fight between the queen and the imperial concubine, and the Xu family can stay out of the matter.

When Mrs. Xu was secretly analyzing the pros and cons, she saw Zhu Heng first glance at the three people who were closer to Zeng Rong and stared at Zeng Rong stupidly, smiled slightly, and arched her hand and said: "I heard that the third brother is here to sing poems and paint with the sons of the family, Zhu Heng is not talented, and he also wants to come to join in the fun, but unfortunately, it seems to scare everyone." ”

"No, no, Second Highness laughed, Second Highness is here, it's our honor to come." Li Man quickly came back to his senses and officially bowed to Zhu Heng.

"Even if it is such an elegant thing as poetry and painting, don't be bound by these rituals. When we meet for the first time today, let's get to know you formally, my name is Zhu Heng, the eternal Heng, and I may be one or two years older than you. Zhu Heng said as he slowly swept over these peers present.

The young people present waited for Zhu Heng to finish speaking, and they all stepped forward to salute Zhu Heng and reported to their homes, after a while, Zhu Heng proposed to appreciate everyone's ink treasures, and the guards pushed him to those paintings, Zhu Heng raised his head and started to look at the nearest one.

"Imperial grandmother, this birthday poem is good, I'll read it to you." Zhu Heng pointed to the first ink treasure and read it out, along with the preface and the inscription.

Because the word is used in the payment, and the word and the name are different, Zhu Heng has never participated in these activities, and he doesn't know whose word it is, just when he was about to ask, he saw Zhu Wu, who didn't speak for a while, blushed, coughed twice, and walked to him, "Second brother, Liby is my word." ”

"It turned out to be the third brother's masterpiece, but the second brother is clumsy, I'm sorry." Zhu Heng smiled apologetically at Zhu Wu as usual, "In the past, I heard that the third brother was a famous talent, and the second brother only saw it today, it was the fault of the second brother, the third brother is really talented, and it is rare for a birthday poem to be written so majestically and unconventionally." ”

"The Third Highness is one of the four great talents in the capital, hasn't the Second Highness heard of it?" It was Gu Tou who asked.

It's not that he is upset with Zhu Wu, but he really doesn't understand the interaction between the two brothers, or rather, he is still in a fog, and he doesn't know where this so-called Second Highness came from?

Also, isn't that woman the embroidery lady of the Splendid Workshop? When did you become the person next to the Queen Mother?

Gu Tou, who was puzzled, forgot where he was for a while, so he didn't think deeply when he heard Zhu Heng's words, and blurted out directly.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Tou's grandmother hurriedly spoke: "Confused things, the Second Highness is also something you can question, why don't you hurry up and make amends to the Second Highness." ”

"It's okay, don't blame him, it's me who is unheard." Zhu Heng took a deep breath and smiled faintly, "The four great talents in the capital, I don't know who the other three are?" ”

"That's the ridicule of my classmates, and I can't count them." Li Man saw that others didn't squeak, so he had to stand up and say.

"Brother Li is polite, to be able to win such an honor, it must be a lot of talent, I don't know about others, but my third brother's talent has long been well-known in the capital, and the other three can keep pace with him, and they will not be bad." Zhu Heng smiled back at Li Man, and then asked about the other two.

"Of course it's not bad, there is another one who is the second brother, my second brother became famous earlier, I don't know how much he captured the capital... A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who was also dressed in red hugged a man in green who was eighteen or nineteen years old and smiled.

"Twelfth brother Hugh has to talk nonsense." The man shook off and drank the boy.

The young man also seemed to realize that the occasion was wrong, so he smiled at the Queen Mother, touched his nose, and stood aside without squeaking.

Zeng Rong remembered that this eighteen or nineteen-year-old man was the prince of Huainan, he was the oldest of these teenagers here, when Zhu Heng and everyone met, he and the young man in red and the other two clan disciples withdrew to the side, laughing with the queen mother, but he didn't expect that he was also one of the four talents, which was really a bit surprising.

Also unexpected was Zhu Heng, Zhu Heng's eyes moved slightly, his hand trembled slightly, and then he half-grasped, took a deep breath again, and still smiled gently: "Second brother, it's okay." I don't know if the second brother is doing poetry or painting today? ”

"The second brother is ashamed, he only painted a picture, but it is a coincidence today, I don't know if the second brother has the blessing to see the sixth brother's ink treasure, I heard that the sixth brother has been obsessed with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting over the years, and must have achieved a lot of success, right?" Zhu Yu said.

"The second brother laughed, I can't even count as graffiti, let's take a look at the second brother's paintings first. Grandmother Huang, what do you think the second brother will draw today? Zhu Heng turned his head and smiled brightly at the Queen Mother, who had been worried about him.

"I guess, eighty percent is Magu's birthday, right?" The Queen Mother saw that Zhu Heng would deal with it properly, and she was not half impatient, nor did she have any misdemeanor, her hanging heart finally fell, and she was also in the mood to cooperate with her grandson and laugh.

"In the end, it was the Queen Mother, I guessed at once, but the nephew's painting has not yet been completed, and I asked the Queen Mother and the sixth brother to take a look at other people's first, and the nephew will finish painting it." Zhu Yu bowed his fists, hurriedly walked to his position, picked up the pen, his painting was actually finished, but there was no payment or inscription.
