Zeng Rong followed everyone into the upper room, there were imperial concubines and concubines De, Yu Bing didn't dare to sit on the main seat, but the imperial concubine didn't go to sit on the main seat, only sat down on the first circle chair on the east side, Concubine De followed, Yu Bing didn't dare to take a seat, or the imperial concubine spoke, saying that she was pregnant, she picked up a position in the west and sat down, and put the box in her hand on the side of the high table.

Zeng Rong has been standing close to the door, and he didn't speak, listening to the daily conversation of these three mothers, it was nothing more than the imperial concubine and Concubine De asking Yu Meiren if she had a good appetite, but she was vomiting, whether she slept well at night, whether she was homesick, and so on.

The three of them chatted for about a stick of incense, and the imperial concubine seemed to realize Zeng Rong's existence, "By the way, when we entered the door, we heard you say that women should cherish themselves more and treat themselves well, this palace agrees with this statement, I don't know where Zeng saw this sentence, and why did he sigh?" ”

"Back to the imperial concubine, I heard this from other places in the lower officials, and I sighed casually when I saw Luoying outside the door." Zeng Rong didn't dare to say anything "Shaohua is fleeting", the two masters in front of her saw that Shaohua was gone, and Fanghua was no more, she didn't dare to poke their hearts.

Concubine De smiled when she heard this, and said unhurriedly: "This kid is really interesting, no wonder there are so many people praising you, if you are really smart, this palace obviously heard what the two of you were talking about, but in front of the two of us, what did you say Luoying, shouldn't you be afraid that the two of us and a half old will be too careful?" ”

"Concubine De didn't know, the palace asked her, which one is good-looking, the palace and Sister Yu, this child said, each has its own good, said that the young are young, delicate, shy, and the older ones are calm, calm, and elegant, but they are not smart, and no one can be offended. I didn't see that even the emperor assigned her to enlighten the Queen Mother, and accompanied the Queen Mother to Puji Temple, and when she came back, the Queen Mother and the second prince were relieved and smiled. The imperial concubine picked up the tea on the palace maid, took a sip, and said slowly.

"Emperor Qiqi, the lower officials don't dare to take credit, the old man of the Queen Mother and the second prince are relieved to follow the guidance of the abbot master, and the lower officials just went to play with them." Zeng Rong bowed and replied.

"Oh, you often see the emperor?" Concubine De flashed a hint of doubt.

She naturally knew that Zeng Rong had been in the inner chamberlain for half a month, and Zeng Rong was from the Pharmacopoeia Bureau, so she should not have seen the emperor much, why did the emperor appoint her to clip the fish bones and assign her to accompany the queen mother, when did the emperor trust a newcomer so much?

"Hui Defei, no, the lower officials will only go over to record the medical records when the emperor announces the imperial doctor, and most of them still go with Aunt Cui." Zeng Rong replied.

Seeing that Zeng Rong was embarrassed, Yu Bing hurriedly interjected: "Imperial Concubine Qiqi and Concubine De, when it comes to the imperial doctor and the record of the case, Yu Bing wants to ask, shouldn't this record of the case be the matter of the imperial doctor?" What's the difference? ”

"The concubines of the harem are all recorded by the imperial doctor, and the emperor needs to prepare two copies." It was the imperial concubine who replied.

"Why is that?" Yu Bing asked.

Tong Yao raised her eyelids and glanced at Yu Bing, but she didn't answer, she didn't believe that Yu Bing couldn't even understand such a simple truth.

Concubine De on the side saw that the imperial concubine didn't squeak, and was afraid that Yu Bing's face would not be able to pass, so she said with a smile: "Why else, I'm afraid that the imperial doctor's records are not detailed or there are omissions or something, and the medical records of the Pharmacopoeia Bureau will be classified and sorted out after a certain number of years, so as to facilitate inquiry and verification." ”

After speaking, Concubine De suddenly thought of something, and smiled, "This palace is also confused, the ready-made pharmacopoeia bureau is here, why do you still use this palace to talk here." ”

"Back to Concubine De, don't say that, Xiaguan is a newcomer, there are indeed a lot of things I don't understand, thank you Niangniang for your doubts." Zeng Rong said with a smile.

Hearing this, Concubine De turned her head, stared at Zeng Rong for a long time, and then smiled, "How old are you?" ”

Knowing that Zeng Rong was not yet thirteen, Concubine De shook her head, nodded again, and asked about Zeng Rong's hometown, the population of the family, how many years he went to school, and when he entered Beijing.

Zeng Rong answered one by one.

"Zeng's hometown and Sister Yu's hometown are very close, and it is fate to be able to meet a hometown thousands of miles away in the palace." The imperial concubine was afraid that Yu Bing would be snubbed, so she said.

"Back to the imperial concubine, it's not like that, just now the two of us also talked about the food in our hometown, and the difference between the south and the north is indeed quite big." Yu Bing took the conversation.

The next topic was much lighter, revolving around the differences in food culture between the north and the south, as well as the craftsmanship of the imperial chefs in the palace.

Zeng Rong didn't interject at all, and it was easy to see that Zeng Rong said that he was going to leave, and there was a palace maid outside, saying that the imperial doctor had come to diagnose Yu Bing's safe pulse, and the imperial concubine ordered her to stay, saying that she would listen to what the imperial doctor had to say, and if there was a need, Zeng Rong could bring a message to the emperor.

This is obviously unreasonable, Zeng Rong is not the one who transmits the message, she is the female official of the inner chamberlain, and she is dedicated to serving the emperor, when did she become the messenger of the harem?

But Zeng Rong didn't dare to refute the imperial concubine, her qualifications were shallow, and her foundation was shallow, so she didn't want to tear her face with the other party early.

After staying for about a stick of incense, the imperial doctor diagnosed the pulse, saying that the pulse was still good, but there was a slight depression, Yu Bing took the initiative to explain that it was caused by morning sickness, and the imperial doctor suggested that she eat some sour fruit to suppress one or two.

After the imperial doctor left, Zeng Rong asked for his farewell again, and this time the imperial concubine found another reason, saying that it was for Zeng Rong to taste the box of dried fruits sent by Concubine De for Yu Bing, the reason was that Yu Mei's body was noble, and after all, this dried fruit was obtained from outside, and she was afraid that there would be unclean things.

Zeng Rongzheng was entangled in whether Concubine De would be safe when she heard this, only to see Concubine De echo and said: "This palace almost forgot, you are fellow countrymen, Zeng is in charge of the best to try it, and you can still taste this thing whether it is authentic or not." ”

The two mothers spoke, Zeng Rong had to walk up to the poppy beauty, open the cardboard box, and there were four kinds of dried grapefruit peel, plantain slices, dried longan, and spicy ginger slices.

Zeng Rong tasted them one by one, commented on them, and after a while, the two mothers saw that Zeng Rong was fine, so they let Yu Meiren taste it.

Yu Bing only picked a piece of spicy ginger to taste, saying that this spicy taste has the taste of hometown, and he misses it very much.

After tasting the things, this time without waiting for Zeng Rong to speak, the imperial concubine found an errand for Zeng Rong again, and asked Zeng Rong to draw a sachet pattern, which she wanted to use as a Duanyang festival gift for the Queen Mother.

Zeng Rong wanted to say that he would paint again after he went back, but before the words came out, the imperial concubine ordered someone to find the pen and ink, saying that she wanted to see her talent with her own eyes.

Zeng Rong couldn't do it, so he had to sit down, just drew the style of the sachet, someone outside spread that someone from the Pharmacopoeia Bureau had come, and ordered Zeng Rong to rush to Qianning Palace immediately, and the emperor announced the imperial doctor.

"Back to the imperial concubine Niangniang, this sachet pattern will be sent by the official early tomorrow morning, how about it?" Zeng Rong put down the pen in his hand and asked.

The Imperial Concubine nodded.

She's done with it, and she's ready to watch a good show.
