Chapter 421, Worries
Coincidentally, there were quite a few officials who came to meet this morning, among which the cabinet members and officials of the Ministry of Rites stayed for the longest time, and this time the topic they discussed was actually Qiuqiu.
Zeng Rong also knew that the autumn festival was written by the provinces themselves, but there must be officials from the Ministry of Rites to go down to supervise, and the topic they discussed this time was the distribution of officials from the Ministry of Rites and what were the highlights of the autumn examination questions submitted by the provinces.
After learning that the autumn festivals in the south of the Yangtze River were all set for the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zeng Rongmo calculated that even if Ouyang Si could enter Beijing, he was afraid that it would be October.
She is really looking forward to him coming, Zhu Heng's current treatment has achieved certain results, and it is best to be able to connect with it, but after all, she is just a layman, no matter how willing she is to study, without the teachings of the Master, she can only go around the periphery, and the results are not very great.
But having said that, even if Ouyang Si came, there were still a bunch of problems, first of all, Zeng Rong was not sure what his medical skills were, she had only seen him take the pulse and prescribe medicine, but she had never seen him acupuncture; Secondly, if he is promoted, his energy in the near stage will definitely be focused on scientific research, and he will not have time to study medical skills; Third, how should she send him to Zhu Heng, is Lord Xu willing to help with this?
But in any case, if he comes, there is always a glimmer of hope, and if a person lives in hope, there will be hope for the future.
Because Zhu Xu was meeting with officials all morning, he even delayed breakfast, and he didn't pass the meal until the time of his childhood.
Zeng Rong has to be on duty from time to time, and this copy is long, so she must sort it out as soon as possible. Therefore, after the officials dispersed, she remained in the cubicle and worked hard to write.
I don't know how long later, Chang's father-in-law came over, saying that he had left her a meal and asked her to eat.
"No, Father-in-law Chang, I have a lot of work today, I have to sort it out before I can hand it over to others, otherwise, I will go to the Huanyi Bureau tomorrow, and it will be difficult for others to take over half of this work." Zeng Rong said.
"Ouch, my little ancestor, just listen to what our family says, hurry up and go to dinner, the emperor is angry that you don't know the severity, and I want to teach you a lesson, so don't bet on the emperor. After eating, I said a few soft words. Chang Dezi said as he pulled out the pen in Zeng Rong's hand and pushed her out.
When Zeng Rong walked to the opposite side hall, the emperor was not there, and there was no one in the side hall.
Strange, there was no one in the study when she came out, where did he go?
Seeing that the dishes left for her on the table were still buckled on plates, and when she opened them, she saw that they were still hot, and the four dishes left were all her favorite dishes, Zeng Rong was moved a little, and at the same time, his heart was slightly calmer.
After the meal was over, Zeng Rong returned to the upper study, but he still didn't see the emperor, he wanted to ask Chang Gonggong, but even Chang Gonggong was gone, only two little eunuchs guarded.
After thinking about it, Zeng Rong didn't inquire anymore, returned to the cubicle, lowered her head and got busy again, until she was on duty, she didn't see the emperor and Chang Gonggong again.
Coming out of Qianning Palace, Zeng Rong hesitated, turned directly to Cining Palace, and learned that the Queen Mother was taking a lunch break, she went to the backyard, there was no one at the door of the backyard, but the door was open, Zeng Rong lifted the door curtain, and saw that Amei was sitting on the circle chair at the door dozing, seeing her, just about to speak, Zeng Rong sighed.
The two of them entered the study lightly, and learned that Zhu Heng was indeed taking a nap, and Zeng Rong didn't let Ah Mei call him.
"By the way, why are you back again?" Zeng Rong asked Amei.
Before, because Zhu Heng refused to use Zhen Qing, the Queen Mother was angry and transferred Amei away from Zhu Heng's side, and forced Zhen Qing to Zhu Heng, this time I went to Nanyuan, in order to force Zhu Heng to accept Zhen Qing, the Queen Mother only gave Zhu Heng two eunuchs, Xiao Luzi and Xiao Haizi, plus Zhen Qing, a maid official, and a palace maid.
In fact, this is not difficult for Zhu Heng at all, because Zhu Heng, who serves in close quarters, generally does not need palace maids, they are Xiao Luzi and Xiao Haizi, these two have been with him for many years, and he is used to it.
Later, some of the palace maids and eunuchs assigned to him were sent away by the Queen Mother because of him, and some of them stayed in Chuhua Palace, for him, the fewer people the better, he likes to be quiet.
Amei was also forcibly given to Zhu Heng by the Queen Mother, and Zhu Heng thought that she was the original owner of the silk handkerchief and those purses and accepted her, although it turned out that it was not, but Amei brought him Zeng Rong.
Rao is like this, in order to prevent Amei from having other thoughts, Zhu Heng never uses Amei to serve him closely, those tasks of wiping, washing, changing, and massaging are never fake Amei's hands, she only helps to do some summons, needlework, sorting and other things.
Therefore, the Queen Mother's move did not bring any inconvenience to Zhu Heng, but gave rise to a lot of disgust for this.
"The Queen Mother let me come back." Ame pursed her lips.
From Amei's mouth, Zeng Rong learned that Zhen Qing had returned to Chuhua Palace, and officially took over the position of head of Chuhua Palace, assisting Aunt Wang in taking care of the daily affairs of Chuhua Palace, and Zhu Heng promised to hand over the dowry of the first queen to her after she became familiar with it.
"You say, she and the Second Highness are so stiff, will she?" Amei made a move to fill her pockets.
"Probably not, how dare she do this? Besides, His Royal Highness also promised to provide for her in old age, and she didn't need to do so. Zeng Rong shook his head.
Zhu Heng mentioned this matter to her, in fact, according to Zhu Heng's original intention, he wanted to send Zhen Qing away, but Zhen Qing didn't agree, she knew very well in her heart that the Queen Mother would never allow her to go out of the palace and marry another, after all, she was already Zhu Heng's concubine in name, she was out of the palace, and the fact that Zhu Heng could not be humane would definitely have to be spread, which would affect the royal reputation.
And it is unlikely to return to the Queen Mother, the harem is staring at it with such eyes.
Moreover, instead of returning to the Queen Mother to be a female official who is not up or down, it is better to stay by Zhu Heng's side, but Zhu Heng promised her that he would treat her well, and even promised to hand over the dowry of the former queen to her for management, which can be regarded as avoiding her worries.
As for whether she is married or not, it is not very important to her, there are many women in the palace who are not married, don't they all come over like this?
Taking a step back, even if Zhu Heng promised to marry her, wouldn't he be carrying a name for nothing?
She already has this name and real power, what else do she need?
"That, that, that..." Amei was halfway through speaking, but she still didn't ask the second half of the sentence.
Zeng Rong saw that Amei was halfway through her words and suddenly lowered her head shyly and timidly, what else did she not understand?
"Amei, listen to me, don't get involved, when you reach the age, you go out and find a good person to marry, don't worry, I will definitely persuade His Royal Highness to give you a generous sum of silver, enough for you to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."
Ah Mei's eyes widened when she heard this, and she seemed a little unwilling, "Why? Wouldn't it be better for the two of us to stay with the Second Highness together? ”
"Because..." As soon as Zeng Rong spoke, he suddenly heard movement outside, as if someone had come in.
